De Rougemont Manor plans to give a paramount and individual experience for all visitors, both joy and business the same. Gatherings from two people to 300 individuals can be catered for in style, with an incredible choice of food, either from Heseltine's Restaurant or from a sumptuous buffet.
The De Rougemont Manor carries the name of one of its former owners Muriel, the wife of Boer War hero Major General Cecil de Rougemont. She was also the daughter of Mr Evelyn Heseltine who arrived in Great Warley in 1875 and created a 'country house' out of a cottage. A very wealthy stockbroker, Heseltine is lauded as one of the great benefactors of the centuries old Brentwood School and the builder of the famous 'art nouveau' church, which he dedicated to a dead brother. He also built a local empire of farms and other property to become recognised in the early years of the 20th century as the village 'squire'. He and his wife entertained the local county gentry in their vastly expanded house - a building he actually turned around, from facing the road to make its front entrance overlooking Upminster Common. After the death of Evelyn and his wife the house passed to Muriel who lost one son during World War 2 and another who also died at a young age. When she too died the house was brought by two local businessmen to become the New World Country Club but it wasn't long before one of them, former Romford market Trader and builder Ian Hilton, bought his partner out and turned the place into the New World Hotel. He also turned the house around so it fronted the street again. Like Heseltine, Ian Hilton is a great lover of tradition and used his business skills to restore the building to reflect all its old 'country house' style. After the fire he and his family continued to rebuild to that concept and renamed it the De Rougemont Manor, in honour of the former owner. Great food, unobtrusive service and comfortable surroundings all go to make Heseltines Restaurant the ideal meeting place. The menu changes regularly to allow the top-class chefs to prepare food from the freshest seasonal ingredients. There is also a selection of daily special dishes available so guests can be sure of a great experience every time they dine. With a comfortable, unhurried atmosphere, Heseltines is a place where time can be taken to enjoy the meal, then guests can relax with an after-dinner drink and conversation on comfortable sofas.
