Summer Sunday Lunches with Big Green Egg

Our cult Sunday lunches at the Flint Barns are given a summer outing as our chefs takeover the enclosed courtyard, cooking over coals on the Big Green Eggs. We’ll be serving Sussex Sparkling from the Rathfinny outdoor bar and chilled live jazz music will set the scene for a dreamy afternoon on the Vineyard.

Spotlight on

Big Green Egg

We’ve long been fans of the EGG, using them at our seasonal dining events over the years. Made from NASA-grade ceramics, the EGG’s distinctive racing-green dome provides unrivalled heat retention, control and durability, and cooks restaurant-quality dishes using eight different modes: grilling, roasting, baking, low & slow, pan cooking, dirty cooking, smoking and rotisserie.

Are dogs allowed?

Sorry, dogs are not allowed to attend.

Are children allowed to attend?

Yes, children are allowed to attend but please note there are open fire pits in the courtyard so children must be sat down with an adult at all times.

Please note, we do not permit external food or drink to be brought on site, even for children. All guests must order from our menus.

How long can we stay?

Your booking guarantees you a table for 2 hours, after which we kindly ask you to vacate the Courtyard. The Hut will be open until 5pm for drinks if you wish to visit.

What happens if it rains?

In the event of inclement weather, we will relocate into the Flint Barns Dining Room restaurant.

Is there a dress code?

We do not stipulate a dress code, although our visitors tend to opt for smart-casual attire. The English summer weather can be changeable so please dress accordingly. Due to the outdoor nature of the event, we recommend bringing an extra layer just in case.
