Beautiful views and a great setting. Very friendly, knowledgeable staff who are happy to give recommendations. Amazing food and wine too. We will definitely be back!
Absolutely glorious location nestled in the rolling hills of the South Downs. For the price of the food, I was a little disappointed in the presentation and portion sizes. Loved the Hake and the Beef Fat crumpet dishes. Certainly less keen on the pirata. Also suggest offering a condiment for the otherwise plain fried potatoes.
The scenery is beautiful with fantastic views over the vineyard. The Tasting Room itself is well laid out with views over the vineyard. We were advised that the menu was a tapas style sharing menu. When presented with our food it was not suitable for tapas dining. We had to pour our gravy from the plate. The beef fat crumpet was delicious, as was the hake. The service was okay, but not as attentive for the price we paid. Wine was very nice though. I would not come again for food.
Absolutely stunning food! We came here for a roast dinner, as a large group and we had a starter and main with wine and extras. We could not fault the food it was amazing as was the wine! Stunning views and a gorgeous gift shop too.
What can I say? I always love spending time in the vineyards — the landscape is so peaceful, and my taste buds are wide open to enjoy all the good food paired with wine. You truly feel disconnected from the city. We had the Turnworth cheese plate and the Brighton cured smoked salmon — everything was so fresh, served with warm bread and salted butter. Before that, we visited the small, charming shop and did a wine tasting with Corrine. She explained the whole concept so smoothly and simply that the session was a real pleasure! I definitely recommend coming here to explore and enjoy the full experience.
I recently visited for a team lunch, I was blown away the menu and the knowledgable staff. You sit in the most idilic setting looking over a fantastic vast vineyard. The chef even came out during our lunch to explain an ingredient that I didn't know the name of. An experience I will always remember and would recommend to anyone.
Very good Rathfinny sparkling and still wines, as you'd expect, with very good food cooked to perfection on their lunch tasting menu. Great views over the vineyard while you dine.
Simply incredible experience, from the service, to the wine and the food! Would highly recommend taking the wine flight. Produce is very local, and in some cases has even been foraged from the local nature. Looking forward to going back soon!
We had a great time at Rathfinny. Our tour with Corinne was excellent - we learnt so much - and the tasting was delicious. We also had a fabulous two-course lunch (with more of that delicious wine!). Great stuff!
Beautiful lunch, our second visit and was lovely on both occasions. Gabby is the most wonderful hostess, and the food is perfection. Rounded off with a top up in the wine Cellar for gin and fizz to rake home!
