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.

The staff were great. A suggestion I would make would be to clearly indicate where people who have a booking should go v those in the shop. I also booked for breakfast at 11:30 to see the menu said breakfast was only until 11:30. Our waitress still took our breakfast order and I noticed customers who arrived after us were served breakfast too, so a little confusing, but we got what we wanted/ were expecting and the staff were really fab, nothing was a problem. Not sure why I needed to complete a track & trade form as you had the details from my booking (excl my husband, although other places are only taking 1 guests details if they’re from the same household). So not a complaint, just an observation. I can imagine it’s difficult standing up all the new processes and procedures you’ve had to face in to. Overall a very pleasant experience that I would recommend to others. Thank you
