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.

First visit to the Bolney Estate - beautiful surroundings and a relaxed vibe in which to enjoy the delicious food and of course some very nice wines. I will definitely be back.

We had lunch . The food was nice but took over an hour to arrive by which time the white wine flights were warm. Coffee didn’t arrive either (although petit fours did). I could see staff were busy and they were friendly when we saw them. This suggests you need to employ more staff or find more efficient ways of working. It all took the shine off our visit unfortunately

Would love to say the food was great,but arrived on a lovely sunny day having booked inside and they happily moved us out to the sun. Reviewed the menu selected with wines helped by fantastic waitress to then be told we were too late for breakfast and too early for lunch. Unfortunate but ok we said we could not wait so queued to pay for coffees when the poor waitress had to deal with incredibly rude manager and some other man from kitchen who asked her who was asking for food and for her to deal with them as they clearly didn’t want to speak to their customers, regardless of the fact they were standing next to said customer. Until then was ok with situation, strange they take a booking when they can’t supply food but hey ho, not fine that they were unpleasant and disrespectful to their own staff and rude in front of customers, made for an uncomfortable situation, came over as sexist as pointed by the man in our group.Sadly won’t be going back until management changes.
