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.

Having booked a table a while ago and made a special request for a nice table, when we arrived the table was not ready! Food was okay, salad wilted and mussels in a very tasteless broth! Burrata & arancini dishes were tasteless too. No one explained the flight the wine served alongside the dishes. Excellent setting but not great service or food which was a shame. Don’t think we will go back again.

Quite crowded with little regard for social distancing by people queuing up to pay their bill at the till, and an initial delay in receiving any attention after we were seated. Later, however, we were well looked after and received some complimentary fudge as compensation!

We loved everything about our tasting tour and following lunch-just as we did when we visited in December. The food was lovely but we just felt the prices were a little high for what was basically a starter sized portion in some cases. I know your menu used to be larger before Covid but felt it was also more reasonable. Whilst we noted you called them small plates if we hadn’t had the cheeses etc with the tasting tour we would most definitely have left hungry! It would have been great to see some more substantial dishes on the menu. We will definitely come back again as you have a beautiful site, fantastic premises and excellent staff!

As always food was excellent. Bearing in mind with the new booking system our table was only booked for 90 minutes our food was, a little slow coming out initially. Staff are taking some Covid precautions with visors etc and appreciate staff need to get close to serve meals but staff got very close when taking order and in fact lent right into one person at our table.

This was our first experience of eating out since the lockdown started - and it was made very enjoyable by friendly staff and feeling safe
