CHRISTMAS AT DODDINGTON
Visit the Hall for a Fairytale Christmas

GRAIN STORE

CAFE & BAR

RESTAURANT & BAR

The Grain Store is an award-winning café, restaurant and bar, set in the grounds of historic Doddington Hall, where heritage meets contemporary in the Lincolnshire countryside.

*Taste of Excellence Best Restaurant of the Year*

Open daily with a delicious breakfast and lunch menu to suit all appetites, the Grain Store is the ideal location to relax and refuel.

Our Restaurant is open every Friday and Saturday evening for award-winning à la carte dining. Our chefs curate delicious seasonal menus showcasing our own pasture-fed Lincoln Red beef, game and Kitchen Garden produce from the Doddington Estate along with the finest locally sourced and British ingredients.

A driving force of our Wilder Doddington project is our herd of rare breed and pasture-fed Lincoln Red cattle which is helping to build biodiversity and carbon sequestration in our soils and vegetation. Our beef is aged for at least 28 days and is simply delicious. 

There is also foraged produce from across the estate along with fruit and vegetables picked daily in our walled Kitchen Garden. Beyond the estate, we seek out the best local growers and producers from Lincolnshire and surrounding counties. 

Enjoy our selection of teas and coffee, expertly prepared by our Stokes trained baristas and treat yourself to delicious homemade cake.

At the bar, you’ll find an alluring range of cocktails and mocktails.
