Our Eighteen Acre Café has a stunning viewing balcony overlooking the ripening vines. It’s a great place for a spot of lunch or catching up with friends over a glass of award-winning wine. All our food is locally sourced and our chef serves up scrumptious dishes for brunch and lunch.  We've created a tasty menu you'll love; from warming winter dishes perfectly paired with our wines, to daily specials carefully created by our chefs with the freshest seasonal ingredients. 

We are now taking table bookings from 19th May onwards. Unil then, we are operating a walk-in service only. Our cafe is open on Wednesday to Sunday from 9am – 4pm (food service stops at 3.30pm on Weds - Sat, and 3pm on Sun). On Monday and Tuesday we are open for take-away tea and coffee only.

Please note: All guests, including café and tour guests (with the exception of minors under the age of 11 and people with medical conditions that preclude them from wearing face coverings) are kindly asked to bring and wear face coverings when travelling through our shop area. We also ask that all visitors to Bolney follow government guidelines regarding COVID 19. As a result, only parties from the same household are permitted to book a single table in our café. Please note, all members of the party are required by law to register their own track and trace details. Find out more about this here.

Please note that you will have 2 hours for your table booking.

Limited menu.1.Small plates quality food, good.[tho' a little more welcome]2.Burgers good quality but just too much tomatoey relish which overpowered the meat.it was fighting the burger and was too dominant and could have done with pickled cucumber for bite.[To our mind The Cat at west hoathly do a burger which is v good with the right accompaniments].Mustard in a tube.... does not go with your image but understand that Covid constraints may be an underlying factor. Dining room has little character..few tables: village hall feel.Nothing like a cafe.All the action was outside where we were.I am good average height but chairs too low for table that we sat at.The veranda great. Nice position overlooking vines.V pleasant.Staff and service good.Nice people.Probably you are at the maximum price you should charge for your dishes. In a number of areas and with tweaking it will be a v enjoyable eating out experience.

We enjoyed everything we ate very much. I did find the menu rather limited though.

Extremely disappointing as had to wait over 30 minutes to be served. Asked for water 3 times and was ignored every time so had to get it ourselves. But worst of all the size of the Fish and Chips wouldn’t have fed a 5 year old. Absolutely outrageous they can imply this is an adult main course portion. The smallest fish I have ever seen and the chips were equally mean. Sachets provided for tomato ketchup and vinegar!! Very unimpressive

Friendly and efficient service and good food. Unsure why apparently-limited reservation availability when I booked (well in advance) as restaurant only half-occupied on arrival and during meal.

Great place for a lunch, staff very helpful and friendly, although a little busy. Food was great and wine was superb.
