The staff are friendly and attentive. However, my burger was brought at the same time as starters so was sent back. Convinced it was the same burger I got back as was tepid and chips cold. They did replace chips. Disappointing as food not cheap.

The whole family enjoyed a delicious Sunday roast for Father's Day. We have visited the restaurant before, znd we knew that the food would be of a high standard. As usual, the staff were friendly and efficient. We will return to Bolney again.

Pros for me: Gorgeous view over the vineyard in a nice light dining room. The food was tasty and the portions were decent. Cons for me: The staff were not very friendly - perhaps just stress of a busy day? The sparkling wine was not bad but quite expensive. It was SO noisy in there for brunch - it would be great if they could improve the acoustics in there.

Lovely lunch but we felt that we were very rushed by the staff to get our order in even before the kitchen was open, rushed with drinks and dessert. It would have been nice to have had time to read the menu.

We booked to celebrate a friends birthday and had the most wonderful time, they even surprised us with a birthday plate with fudge on which was a lovely touch. The staff were all really lovely and couldn’t do enough for everyone. We weren’t rushed and were made to feel very welcome. The food was all served fresh and hot, the fish and chips were lovely and crisp, cheese board had a nice selection of bits and pieces and the Eggs Royale was lovely. Desserts were great too. Will definitely be back.

Mistake made by the waitress with our order which meant 2 of our party had their food sitting on the table going cold whilst the remainder of the order took longer to arrive. Asked for salt and pepper which wasn’t bought to the table so had to go and find some. Asked for water jug to refilled had to ask again before it was done. Food was not very hot. Almond pudding was very dry served with cheap unpleasant Ice cream. Would not return as I felt it was overpriced and noisy. Uncomfortable chairs with no cushions.

Lovely place with friendly staff and good food. The outdoor area could have done with an awning or parasol as the half of our table facing into the sun couldn't see and had headaches from squinting by the time we left. Really enjoyed though and will come again, will try to sit inside but close the the open doors.

We are visiting Vineyards this year one a month, some in the Uk and some abroad, this being a 5th location - can safely say the best so far. We visited for lunch as the tour was busy, however we were not disappointed the food was exceptional and the service and welcome was second to none Amazing would thoroughly recommend

We visited for breakfast on a beautiful summer's morning and sat on the outside terrace. The indoor space was fine, but the terrace, overlooking the vines, was a really lovely place to sit. The food was of a very high standard, but over £70 for a one course breakfast for four is pretty steep.

Lovely visit for lunch. Managed to get a table on the balcony, as quite noisy inside restaurant with babies & Mum’s group. Food was excellent. Had burgers, cheese cake & bread & butter pudding. Managed to buy some wine afterwards. Only disappointment was the service charge on bill for 2 people. Would have preferred if this was optional, as would prefer to tip service to waiting staff directly.
