I came across the vineyard in Autumn 2021 whilst staying locally (it was recommended as a dog-friendly place to visit by our hosts). This was one of our best finds ever and the beginning of a professional and personal love story with a fantastic place run by amazing local folk with great values who support fellow local businesses and people.I've loved to capture images at the vineyard since, on many occasions, and to see it grow and both my husband and myself and our dog have visited countless times.Kinsbrook Vineyard is a brilliant dog-friendly place for an intimate wedding or elopement, a celebration, coffee or brunch (highly recommend their newly launched Sunday roasts) in all seasons: cosy in the Winter, bay windows open on the vineyard in the warmer Summer months with plenty of covered space inside or outside and often live music as well as seasonal and special events (I highly recommend their Supper Clubs! ).Dogs are welcome throughout including in the farmhouse and around the vineyard (with the exception of the fresh produce shop area, understandably) and their well behaved humans too in a delightful, relaxed atmosphere with fantastic food and friendly service.

Such a lovely space: they're incredibly high quality in what they produce, have a cheese counter and a butcher (!!) and so many local, delightful things in stock. The breakfast is outstanding, we can't wait to visit again in summer and have some wine on the outdoor patio.

Kingsbrook is a new build barn style farm shop and cafe with restaurant upstairs, balcony and views of their vineyard.The chefs in the restaurant can certainly cook and the small plates we sampled were all well cooked and seasoned! I love the concept which is similar to 64 degrees in Brighton with its open plan kitchen, although kings brook benefits from great views and even some live music on our visit! Service was friendly and the staff were all well trained.It was however missing a few tricks! The farm shop had some wonderful cheese for sale, but there was no cheese board on the menu! For those with a sweet tooth, there were no cakes, brownies, muffins, cookies, flap jacks or anything to sample with a cup of coffee or tea in the cafe (on our visit).The small plates served in the restaurant were all very nice, but expensive for a casual bite to eat as you need to spend around £40-£50 per person in small plates to equal a good meal. There was also limited main courses on the menu starting from £28 for a typical Sunday roast.It's a shame the cafe downstairs did not offer more snacky stuff for the casual diner such as warm sausage rolls, cheese toasties, wraps, bacon baps or Panini's.On our visit the farm shop also lacked produce on our visit. It was similar to many other farm shops with a small butchers area, a cheese counter, fruit and veg and some fresh baked bread which was all presented well, however like many other farm shops it was certainly not value for money, with local produce selling north of Marks n Spencer's already high prices!Overall it's a pleasant venue in a nice location with some top notch cooking from the kitchen team. I'm sure it will do well and I would be back despite my 3 star review. There is certainly room for improvement and I hope they take this review as constructive criticism, as it is meant to be.

Popped in for breakfast. Absolutely hit the spot. Full Kinsbrook for me....fabulous sausage! My wife had poached eggs on advocado and mushrooms and she loved it tooGreat location and whether on the upstairs restaurant or butchers/deli downstairs everyone is friendly and professional. Great to have this locally

A must visit vineyard experience ? even on a rainy and cold October day, this experience was standout. We did the wine tasting with the knowledgeable and very engaging Paul who talked us through the vineyard, the new restaurant and shop and a selection of wines. Not all were to my taste, that’s why I’d definitely advise doing a tasting before purchasing, but the Choque au Vin red was a highlight and one of the best English wines I’ve had. Lunch in the restaurant was lovely, I’d recommend treating it as a sharing plate style lunch and all the staff were wonderful. If you don’t have a car and are travelling from London, the train from Paddington to Pullborough works a treat and then it’s 10mins in a local cab. Thank you for a great day, we’ll be back!

We went for a lunch and really very good. Nice place with loads of friendly people. Food was amazing and there is a comment about the Jersey Royal potatoes, order two portions as we were nearly fighting over them they were that good.Be careful of the espresso as very acidic but everything else was absolutely brilliant.Very good disabled access as parking and a lift should you need it. Well thought out place and we recommend.

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday brunch on the terrace in the autumn sunshine. We had the eggs Benedict, one with salmon and one with the locally sourced bacon, both on locally baked sourdough and both demolished! Very friendly and attentive staff. We will be back.

Such a beautiful place... food was amazing, the team were super friendly. We had the best experience. 100percent worth the visit.
James Wickenden
Quality spot! The food is next level - brilliant chef. The wine and coffee is just as good too. Staff are always friendly. Nothing not to like.
Chris Smith
Great food & service in a superb setting. Lovely views of the vineyard too. Will definitely be going back.
We visited Kinsbrook on a rainy Saturday in August 2023.We booked in advance and chose to sit on the patio that overlooked the vines and we could take advantage of the patio menu which had cheese and charcuterie. We also booked a tasting on request which wasn’t available on the menu.We only had two hours as we were doing multiple vineyards and we had to wait 30 minutes until we could order anything. It was clear that the rain had caused some problems but it did hinder our overall experience. The staff however, were so apologetic and took money off our bill due to the multiple delays we had.Loved the shop also which had local products.The price for food was similar to London prices and was good quality. The drinks were good but we were disappointed there was no fizz to try.I’d like to come back again as I liked the vibe, the wine and the food was great. It would be good to go in a sunny day and allow a lot of time for relaxing with some good quality food and drink.

A wonderful organoleptic experience wrapped on a charming natural environment. Staff are extremely courteous the premises spotlessly clean and so many culinary and no-culinary items in a such limited and bright space. Highly recommend
Caroline Bamford
Had a wonderful lunch here with friends on Thursday. The sun was shining, the doors were wide open and the views over the vineyard were magnificent. The food and wine were amazing, in season & delicious. We chose a mix of plates for sharing, a bottle of Kin 21 and also sampled the brand new release sparkling white and rose’. We also used the farm shop too. Top quality. Will definitely return.

We had a fabulous lunch. The staff were very friendly, yet professional and the food delicious.A lovely ambience and beautiful location. My family visiting from Australia were really impressed. Many thanks to Ashima for her welcome and excellent service.

Called in for coffee and toast. Coffee was on the good side of average. Toast took so long to arrive that we asked if we could take it out as we had run out of time. You would have thought I asked for something exceptional. What a performance! By the time we left the toast was cold and we were charged including an 11% tip. Don't spoil your day out by visiting this hugely unimpressive venue.
