Foxhills Club & Resort unveils Indian-inspired restaurant, Lomri
Foxhills Club & Resort in Surrey has unveiled Lomri, an Indian-inspired restaurant within the estate’s Manor House and set amid its 400-acre grounds.
The name Lomri comes from the Hindi word for ‘fox’, a nod to Foxhills’ heritage and identity. Symbolising curiosity and intelligence, the restaurant embodies a spirit of exploration through flavour and culinary creativity.
The opening forms part of a £1.5 million transformation of Foxhills’ late-18th century Manor House, with a venue designed for everything from celebratory dinners to relaxed weekend lunches and spontaneous evenings out. The décor draws inspiration from the colours, textures and atmosphere of India, incorporating warm lighting, layered materials and bold accents.
At the helm is Head Chef Achal Aggarwal, whose international career spans Hotel Okura in Tokyo and Morimoto Restaurant in New York. He later became Executive Chef for Hilton Hotels & Resorts in India and, back in London, led the kitchen at Chutney Mary, a fine-dining Indian restaurant.
His menu at Lomri draws inspiration from the historic trade routes that once connected India and Britain, blending authentic Indian ingredients with contemporary techniques. Offerings include small plates such as crispy squid bhajia with lime chutney, tandoor-grilled dishes featuring king prawns scented with curry leaf or paneer tikka with tangy chutneys and rich, comforting plates like pork of Coorg with aromatic biryanis unveiled at the table. Desserts range from silky kulfi and saffron-soaked jalebi to playful modern creations.
Alongside the restaurant, the Manor Lounge and Bar has also been reimagined as a relaxed social hub for cocktails, pre-dinner drinks and late-evening conversations, adding to the lively atmosphere at the heart of the Manor House.
