"I can't believe I've been living in Sussex for over ten years and have never visited this hidden gem before! I recently had a fantastic brunch with friends at this restaurant, and the food was delicious, especially the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on sourdough. I couldn't resist trying the Bolney Mimosa, made with Bolney Classic Cuvée and fresh orange juice - it was the perfect complement to my meal. The staff were amazing, providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere from the moment we arrived. The setting was beautiful, with stunning views of the vineyard. I can't wait to come back in the summer and enjoy dining al fresco on the balcony. I will definitely be returning and am looking forward to bringing my family for Sunday lunch."

What a beautiful setting. Lovely decor with great views over the vineyard. The tables are well spaced out. We had brunch which was fab and the menu for lunch also looked good. Wonderful service and friendly people.

The restaurant offers excellent service, delicious food, and wine in a charming setting. I would give the restaurant 4 stars to keep them on their toes, and an additional star to Andrew for taking such good care of us.

I wasn’t sure initially how to rate our visit. Our initial impression of the cafe was poor. We wanted a table on the balcony but there was only one left when we arrived. We were told it wasn’t available because one of the chairs was...

Sunday lunch on a warm September day. Lovely big windows completely open onto a super view of the vineyard. Tables well set out. Lots of very friendly, efficient and helpful staff. Roast beef nicely presented with good Yorkshire pudding but the beef was very rare...

Lovely setting; airy dining room with a great view over the vineyard. Staff are friendly and efficient. We went for one full English Vegetarian Breakfast and one Eggs Florentine, both excellent. The eggs were perfectly poached. Good choice for veggies or carnivores. I would definitely...

I booked a table for a double family birthday celebration and we were thrilled with our experience. We were greeted with a complimentary glass of fizz and enjoyed a delicious breakfast accompanied by a bottle of Bolney Blanc de Blanc. The atmosphere was charming, the staff were friendly, and the food was cooked and presented beautifully. It was the perfect champagne breakfast. Thank you.

Visited for lunch and had a table overlooking the vines. A great option was the ability to have some of the Bolney wines with your meal as they have a wine flight (3 small glasses) which can be a combination of any of the wines available, including sparkling. Food was very good and there was a good choice including specials. Service was warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Overall a great lunch and certainly worth a visit.

Where to start with this classy cafe. Its setting within the vineyard is perfect well signposted with plenty of parking. Before we even got there the team was super helpful, with Kate answering access queries quickly and reserving us a lovely table for peace of mind. And on arrival this fantastic service continued, honestly I can’t recommend everyone in the team highly enough. They struck a balance of being professional, helpful and also friendly. The breakfast menu and coffee were equally good we were spoilt for choice and I suspect any option would be delicious. Our freshly cooked food arrived hot and beyond tasty. Highly recommend.

Had a family lunch here which was excellent value given the high standard of venue, food and service. The food was excellent pork belly cooked well with seared cabbage and very good jus was a highlight. Good fish and chips with lovely tartare sauce. Also a very decent burger (but you had to like onion! . The atmosphere was just right, mixing an informality with sophistication in a way that felt much more like a French country restaurant than anything British. Service was friendly, but not expert (specials board not pointed out, several duplicate questions and no offer of coffee . However this did not detract from an overall very good experience.

"We go to Gravetye 3 or 4 times a year if we can and have been going for many many years over the tenures of several owners. It 's always a complete joy, and the current owner has done a fabulous job of getting the right people in, both inside and out. Tom Coward, the Head Gardener (ex. Dixter) has a vision and a long term plan that make continual visits over an extended period a joy every time we visit we are surprised by the continual changes we learn so much and the garden staff are super helpful and willing to discuss what they 're up to and why. The amazing oval massive kitchen garden that supplies the hotel is a source of wonderment and not to be missed. A visual and culinary feast. We 've never stayed there as we live reasonably close, but have eaten in both the old and new dining rooms many times. The new dining room sits harmoniously between the wings of the manor and although a very modern glass and steel construction, the inclusion of a fabulous antique (and uneven) parquet floor (ex. some french chateau) softens the feel and acoustics, making the room almost intimate. The floor to ceiling windows bring you right into the garden, even in the foulest of weather it 's a triumph of design. Then there 's the food. Apart from the presentation, which is exquisite, the flavours and textures always bring a broad grin, however grumpy I am! This is absolutely first rate British cuisine; the kitchen under Head Chef George Blogg is to be commended, as are the garden staff producing the freshest of produce. I occasionally try to photograph the plates, but invariably find I 've forgotten that rather crass move and have just launched in! Must also mention the front of house staff. Perfectly presented and mannered, they know exactly the boundary between staff and guest and make you feel completely comfortable and relaxed there is nothing stuffy or obsequious about Gravetye everything is pitched just spot on and nothing is too much trouble. We were there today for a birthday treat, but will be back again soon for a post family wedding get together. Cannot recommend too highly just an excellent few hours, whatever the weather. Walkability: Lots of paths. The lower areas are easy for those with limited mobility, however it might be tricky to get up to the kitchen garden if you 're not great on your feet. Food drinks: See my review."
