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.

Hi guys, despite arriving 1hr 20 mins late (the M4 was shut!), the team still held our table which was great. In general, the service was excellent - Ed in particular, was very engaging & interested about wine. The wines themselves were also great, the Blanc de Blancs was my favorite, just pipping the BdN! In terms of continuous improvement, here's some feedback from me, for what it's worth... 1. Parasols could be available at all of the tables on the cafe terrace 2. The wine list had no mention of the vintage - I originally assumed they were all NV (which would've been v unusual for English Sparkling!) 3. The phone line wasn't manned at all (we tried several times on Sun) - perhaps diverting to a mobile, held by one of the team, could be the answer 4. Despite buying 3 bottles (BdB 2017, BdN 2015 + your lovely Gin), the 10% discount seemingly only applied to wine purchases - surely, this could be extended to include your Gin etc? That said, my wife & I had a lovely time & will definitely be back! - Robin arranged for a complimentary glass of Bubbly on arrival + some delicious fudge as a Birthday surprise - this was very much appreciated :-) Thanks & Kind regards, Craig Preston (Wine Planning Manager @ Naked Wines UK)

I bought my mum a gift voucher for Mother’s Day for a taster tour, which was absolutely lovely and a very nice way to sample the wines. We then stayed for lunch and continued to taste more of the wines with a wine flight. This is such a good idea! The food was amazing and thoroughly enjoyed by both of us. Wonderful day and can’t wait to come back again.
