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.

Whilst the serving staff were very pleasant, it did seem that the cafe area was short staffed. It took a long while for menus and food to arrive.

I suggest that when people book lunch on the days you are not serving main cooked main course you let them know. It is a simple thing to do, but it was a surprise to us. Service was poor, with our last course not even cleared before bringing the scones. No the standard I would have expected from a well respected winery

Food was brilliant, really enjoyed it!! Service was slow, didn’t clear our plates and it was very hard to get attention. Unfortunately we had to ask several times for the same thing and a missing item in the order. Which was removed from the hill as a kind gesture. The service was a shame, but will defo be back as the food was superb

The updated cleanliness procedures were excellent. I noticed staff cleaning down tables & chairs on a table next to us as soon as that table was vacated. I did have a look in the shop when we left but found no prices on the products and no staff available to help as they were busy serving. I therefore looked online and came back today to buy a bottle of Bolney bubbly. I did have to wait to be served as staff were busy again. This would be my only negative comment that by taking away the sales point which was staffed at the entrance there now seems to be a lack of staff for the shop. Thanks we had a lovely breakfast and will be back again soon.
