The Flint Barns offers unpretentious, wholesome cooking best enjoyed with a glass of Sussex.

Headed up by Chef Paul Aitchison, our menus celebrate seasonal Sussex produce through and through. Inspired by our location — where coast meets countryside — and shaped by the rhythm of the seasons, we strive to use locally sourced ingredients, responsibly grown, caught and gathered as much as possible.

Cradle Valley 2022
About

Cradle Valley still wines

Alongside our Sussex Sparkling wines, we produce a boutique portfolio of still wines under the Cradle Valley label. Cradle Valley is the namesake of where the valley in which vineyard is planted, on a south-facing slope just three miles from the sea.

Our new Cradle Valley Reserve Chardonnay 2025 is crafted from the finest quality Chardonnay picked predominantly from the Upper House block on our single-site Estate. Expect aromas of citrus, peach and light vanilla on the nose, followed by a creamy, almost chalky palate of orchard fruits, with a broad zesty finish.
