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.

The service was fine if a little slow and our waitress was uninformed about the menus. We had expected a little more than "lite bites" for lunch. A lovely setting on the balcony.

Very pleasant afternoon, however, when we booked we asked for a table outside due to one of our party preparing for an operation and wanted to be outside. When we arrived we were told that a table inside was prepared. I advised that we had requested a table outside and were told that it was done on a first come first served basis.if this is the case, we should have been advised when we booked the table. We ended up having a "takeaway coffee" and sat down stairs outside at one of your picnic tables. If you are going to ignore peoples request, why bother having a box for us to write in??

It took 45 minutes for our food to arrive (breakfast). A large table that arrived after we ordered was served first. My eggs benedict arrived without eggs - how is that even possible for a chef to do? Instead there was a sausage on The muffin. The sauce was too tart and drowned the meal. My moms bacon and egg was fine. Although the white toast was brown toast. It was her 70th birthday so a real let down. And we weren’t even offered a discount. I will not be returning unfortunately.

Sat on the deck on a sunny morning with a nice view over the vineyard. Food and service was excellent, if a little pricey for the food. Thank you, thoroughly enjoyed. Also the extra touches for my daughters birthday were very much appreciated.

The lady who took our order and served was lovely . We were kept waiting before anyone came to us at the start even though I’d had several e mails . And the deposit wasn’t deducted from the bill .
