FAQs

Can I have a table with a view?

Please note, our Flint Barns Dining Room does not offer views of the Vineyard. However, if you book a summer picnic or harvest lunch in the Marquee, you will be able to enjoy views of the beautiful surrounds.

What is your family policy?

We welcome children and babies of all ages to dine in the Flint Barns Dining Room. When you’re 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.
