We travelled here with friends before going on a tour of radio caroline, this is a gorgeous location and the food and the staff did not disappoint. mike's2023-09-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went for a wedding. The venue was very good with views over the vineyard to the coast . The food very good and staff worked hard to make sure things ran smoothly.

Wow 😍 we've just had our wedding reception at the vineyard's barn this week, and it really was the perfect day, it was all we wanted and imagined plus more!! I really cannot recommend and praise Mark and the team here enough, we went for the BBQ menu and all of the food was just amazing, and there was plenty for our guests to have seconds too, much to everyone's delight! The service (and all of the team) was perfect, and the day just went so smoothly and was so chilled out, and of course the wine is absolutely brilliant! The barn venue itself was also just so so lovely and looked amazing, and being able to spill out into the outside area was perfect for a lovely sunny day. Mark really did make all of the planning so easy, and was so flexible with everything to ensure that we had the most perfect day, exactly the way we wanted it, and we really did have that! I honestly cannot recommend and praise the team and the vineyard highly enough, it really is just perfect, and all of our guests agreed!! Thank you to Mark and all of the team for an amazing day that we will remember and cherish forever! Joe Chilton2023-08-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
