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.

Enjoyable lunch outside in lovely setting. Service was poor and a lack of knowledge of wines and dishes served.

Lovely location but on Saturday they were completely understaffed. Waited 35mins for order to be taken. Such a shame as the location is great but they need more staff. Upon checking the bill there were several errors (over charges) which were fixed. Completely opposite to the great experience earlier in the week when it was very quiet and the lovely Amanda took good care of us.

I was expecting a more extensive menu. On a previous visit the one we saw had more choices. We ordered a bottle of one of our favourite Bolney wines, but had there been more food choices we would have ordered a wine flight. However, the food we did have was delicious. I also felt some background music would be nice.

Had a lovely time and would not hesitate to recommend. Only issue we had was because of the early start (10am) we had to travel in rush hour so was quite expensive.
