The Rows & Vine Restaurant at Ridgeview Wine Estate in Lewes

We had fantastic wine, great food and excellent service from Louise. The location is beautiful as well. We had such a nice evening and we’ll definitely be back again.

What a fabulous way to spend an afternoon. The food was amazing, the bubbles delicious and the service impeccable. Nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be back. Loved it!

Wonderful Sunday lunch with friends. Generous portions, delicious gravy and well-presented. Yummy and will visit again.

The setting is perfect with a number of seating areas the right buy the vines with views across the vineyard to the downs beyond and woodland on the other side. The seating is mostly covered, but the heaters meant that even on a cool September lunchtime we were warm enough. They could lower covers on wind facing sides if it got too cold. In the winter it all goes inside. I am not normally a sparkling wine drinker, but it would have been rude not to try some, and it was very quaffable. I also had local Brighton brewed pale ale and the Rose which was made from grapes from the estate. All very good. We had a number of tapas portion...pork, beef tacos, cheese plate, croquettes breads and some nibbles, all of which were delicious and while the waitress recommended 3 each, we only need 5 between 3 of us to feel full. The service was excellent, and when combined with food, drinks and setting I would rate this as one of the best places to have a meal in mid sussex.

We had a group wine tour at Ridgeview winery followed by late lunch/early dinner at the restaurant. We preordered for 14 of us and everything was correct and came out timely. All the food was really delicious, the portion sizes were bigger than I was expecting for small plates. We shared 1fish & 2meat dishes with 2 sides and that was plenty for a couple. All the staff were so nice and friendly it really made us feel welcomed. On a sunny day this is a great spot for lunch or dinner.
