Venue is gorgeous and we really enjoyed our lunch. Based in such a lovely part of Sussex. Service was OK, a bit slow and the odd drink forgotten but they were all very pleasant and friendly.
This restaurant is THE best kept secret in Sussex and a foodie's dream. It is a wonderful restaurant, well worthy of a Michelin star, for the quality/taste/presentation of food, not to mention the exceptional pairings of the estate's own wines.
The menu was clearly created by a chef that is passionate about ingredients, preparation, presentation, and above all - taste.
The service was also outstanding. Our server, Vanessa and her team provided a level of service that I've only experienced in fine dining restaurants.
I could continue to gush about remarkable individual moments (complimentary drinks, fantastic conversation with the team, the efforts the team went to make our guest's birthday special, the vineyard setting, etc). However, I will simply end by recommending the venue highly - for general dining, a daytime date or a memorable Sunday meal with loved ones.
Try it. You will not regret it!
Second time we have done an early morning walk from Ardingly to the Vineyard and each time we have been warmly welcomed.
