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.

Good food ( we went for brunch), well cooked and presented. Coffees were on the small side - half cup of foam. Service was poor, and not because staff were busy. Beautiful environment and lovely views over the vineyard.

Thank you for a brilliant wine and cheese tour, and lunch afterwards. Our tour guide (I think her name was Zoe - I can't remember exactly sorry!) was the perfect mix of enthusiastic and informative and we really enjoyed it. Thanks!

We always enjoy our visits - and I like the shop being so instantly integrated into the cafe. Some suggestions which may be of interest: Shop: For gifts, I would have liked to have seen full/half quality aprons and insulated single and double bottle bags perhaps with two glasses as part of the set. Or a gift set of six glasses. Half-pint Cider/Beer glasses. Cork mats in two sizes (bottle and pot). An offer of the week or month to encourage us to try or buy. Entranceway downstairs - a large-scale painting / photo of estate or owners or history would, I think, help to introduce us boldly to the Estate and add to the expectation. I understand the entranceway needs to be kept clear so perhaps verticals would be one solution - just to make visitors feel they have truly arrived. Perhaps some echo of the interior of the cafe itself? We all like something to look at and savour! Cleanliness: I stopped short of full marks only because the swing doors between cafe and toilets were fingerprint-smudgy. Quite understandable as one needs to push and pull but it made me wary of touching them - not just Covid - all communicable viruses etc.

Lovely experience over looking the vineyard. Great welcoming staff. Passion fruit tart exceptional! (Just check the loos a bit more frequently?) We'll be back.
