Contemporary fine dining at No.1 Broad Street, Cuckfield

No.1 Broad Street is a modern restaurant set in an 18th Century building in the heart of Cuckfield.

No.1 Broad Street opened in April 2019 and is headed up by the legendary Johnny Stanford, who has a flair for British cuisine and creating some of the finest dishes that you are ever likely to try in the county.

Johnny’s background right after catering college featured Michelin star restaurants all the way, and he recently finished a long stint at The Pass, South Lodge Hotel as Sous Chef before landing at No.1 Broad Street this spring.

He has hand selected a team of young chefs that are dedicated to delivering perfectly cooked seasonal dishes. They are currently putting together autumn and winter menus using seasonal red deer, treacle cured salmon, scallops and Scottish beef, paired with delicious blackberries, cauliflower, chestnuts and wild mushrooms to name but a few complementary ingredients.

‘Creative cooking’ are the buzz words around the kitchen right now… new ideas, fresh seasonal produce + creative talent = amazing dishes!

New restaurant opening in Cuckfield - No 1 Broad Street

Philip and Johnny

Cuckfield will soon have a new restaurant when No 1 Broad Street opens in March.

Philip Bunn spotted the business opportunity quite by chance when dropping his wife at the dentist! As he parked, he noticed the lease was available on the building next door (formerly Gardinia).

Philip, who started his career at The Ritz - working his way from serving to management, owns a business which runs corporate hospitality suites at motor racing venues around the UK.

With this background he was keen to create a new local eatery and 1 Broad Street provided an ideal location for his own restaurant.

While Philip runs front of house, Johnny Stanford – a Michelin-star trained chef – will take control in the kitchen. Previously at South Lodge Hotel and coming from the Half Moon near Wisborough Green, Johnny will be serving what he calls a ‘modern British’ menu. “For me it’s always about local and fresh produce, but local can mean the UK where possible,” Johnny explains. “For those things we don’t produce here, we have to strike the balance of sustainable and smart.

“At No 1 Broad Street we’ll be doing something different and exciting with everyday dishes.”

Johnny’s lunch and dinner menu will feature cured and blowtorched Mackerel with Salsify, Buttermilk and Macadamias, and aged Goosnargh Duck breast, caramelised Chicory and Yorkshire forced Rhubarb, when it opens early in March.

No 1 Broad Street will be open for casual fine dining Wednesday to Saturday lunch 12noon-2pm and Tuesday to Saturday 6-9pm for dinner.
