Description

When the weather’s right, make a beeline for the lovely terrace of this beautiful 17th-century barn, which sits in a charming spot at the centre of a seven-acre vineyard, where there’s nothing but nature as far as the eye can see. Classically based cooking relies on well-sourced seasonal ingredients – many of which come from their own farm – and dishes are brought to the table by a charming team. The wine list includes a strong selection of classics and, of course, their own vintages too – plus the shop houses a plethora of goodies to take home.

However, negative feedback highlights inconsistent service, slow meal pacing, disorganized seating, and limited menu options, particularly for breakfast.

Visitors should book in advance and manage expectations regarding wait times and staff attentiveness during peak hours.
