Kinsbrook Vineyard

Tucked away in the West Sussex countryside at Thakeham, Kinsbrook’s a working vineyard on third-generation family farmland, with an on-site winery and a restaurant right in the centre of it all.

Fresh, seasonal dining sits at the heart of the experience - the kitchen celebrates ingredients grown across the estate and sourced from neighbouring Sussex makers.

Open seven days a week, there’s something to enjoy from morning until evening. Monday to Wednesday, it opens upstairs as a relaxed café for breakfast and a casual pasta bar for lunch. Thursday to Sunday, it becomes a vibrant restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, centred on creative plates made for sharing.

The menu shifts regularly with the seasons, but you’ll often find dishes like beetroot, endive and walnut to start - followed by comforting ragu, beef with jus and foraged mushrooms, or chargrilled market fish with cavolo nero and olive tapenade.

Order a spread for the table, pair it with a glass grown just metres from your seat, and settle in. It’s warm, relaxed and unhurried, with dogs always welcome!
