We had a voucher for a winery tour. Great experiences from start to finish. Beautifully presented place and a very nice and informative guide to explain the surprisingly complex methods to produce high end quality wine. Tastings at the end of the tour, that while we are not lovers of sparkling wine ourselves the quality was obvious so we might be converted! The adjoining restaurant is also beautiful so probably well worth a visit for a special occasion in unique surroundings. A very interesting and enjoyable visit .

A classily-converted barn with a lovely bar and outside space.  Visited for lunch with friends over the August 2024 Bank Holiday weekend and had a great time.

The menu is relatively small but often that’s a good thing if the dishes are creative.  We all loved all three courses; fresh local produce, very well cooked and beautifully presented.  As you would expect, all of the wines were excellent too.

Given that it’s just off the A24, the restaurant felt really tranquil.  Prices, given the quality of the food and wine, were also reasonable.

Service at the start was a little slow as we had to wait quite a while to be asked if we wanted to order drinks while we browsed the menu.  I guess that the outside space was busier than they expected and the staff were a little stretched.  Nevertheless, service was really friendly and soon became more efficient.

This restaurant most definitely deserves a 5-star review.

It's a lovely restaurant surrounded by winery setting.
The food menu doesn't have a large variety, but food is excellent with beautiful presentation, which you can enjoy with fantastic Wiston wines.
Their homemade foccacia is really tasty and perfect to pair with any wine.
Staff are always nice and friendly.

I would recommend this place for lunch and special dinner.

If they have Wiston's wine flights in their menu, it would be even better.

Incredible meal with fantastic service! We were thrilled with the complimentary glass of bubbles as we arrived and with the surprise courses/bites between the published menu.

The main course "doughnut" and the tuna tartare were stand out dishes. We can't wait to return!
