Flint Barns Dining Room Restaurant

Unfortunately, our Flint Barns Dining Room and enclosed Courtyard does not offer views of the vineyard at this moment in time.

We welcome well-behaved children and babies of all ages for reservations in the Flint Barns Dining Room. When you are booking your table, please make sure all children in your group (even the babies) are included in your total number of guests. If you need a highchair or extra space for a pushchair, please let us know when you book, and we’ll take care of this for you. At the Flint Barns, children can enjoy smaller portions of the main menu or alternatively we have a small number of child-friendly dishes.

Yes! Well-behaved dogs are welcome on a lead as long as they are kept under your supervision at all times.

We also welcome Assistance Dogs. We ask that you let us know beforehand if you are bringing an Assistance Dog and we will do everything we can to accommodate your needs, but there may be certain areas where, or certain times when, a dog cannot visit, but in these circumstances, we will ensure the dog is safe and secure, and we will support you as our visitor to the best of our ability.

We reserve the right to refuse entry to dogs that are not well behaved.

We do not permit guests to bring cakes or any other food items into the restaurant due to allergens. Please do let us know if a member of your party is celebrating a birthday and we can organise a candle in their dessert.

In terms of decoration, you are welcome to provide a singular balloon which can be attached to the chair of the birthday guest. This is to avoid disturbing other dining guests. Thank you for your cooperation.

For all lunch bookings, we require guests to cancel their table at least 48 hours before the booking otherwise you will be charged £20 per head. You will also be charged for a no show.

For all dinner reservations, we require at least 48 hours cancellation notice before the booking otherwise you will be charged £40 per head. You will also be charged for a no show.

Rathfinny Wine Estate aims to ensure that all guests, staff and visitors to the Estate are treated equally and in accordance with their needs.
