GRAIN STORE

CAFE & BAR

RESTAURANT & BAR

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

*Taste of Excellence Best Restaurant of the Year*

Open daily for breakfast, lunch, coffee and cake, the Grain Store at Doddington is the perfect place to relax and refuel.

All of our menus feature fresh produce foraged from across the estate, along with fruit and vegetables picked daily from our walled Kitchen Garden. Beyond the estate, we seek out the best local growers and producers from Lincolnshire and surrounding counties.

You can enjoy a selection of teas and coffee, all sourced locally from Stokes in Lincoln and expertly prepared by our in-house baristas. At the bar, you’ll find an alluring range of cocktails, spirits, wines and beers.

À La Carte Dining

The Grain Store Restaurant is open every Friday and Saturday evening for exceptional, award-winning à la carte dining. Our talented chefs craft seasonal menus that celebrate the very best of the estate – from our freshly picked Kitchen Garden produce to own pasture-fed Lincoln Red beef and locally sourced game.

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. 

Every dish on our à la carte menu reflects our commitment to quality, provenance and flavour.
