HAPPY NEW YEAR
Here at Doddington Hall, we are proud to showcase estate-grown produce and support local and British producers in our Farm Shop and throughout our menus.
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.
Thanks to a grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, the formerly neglected two-acre walled Kitchen Garden was restored to its former glory in 2007 (after a 50 year absence).
Just a stone’s throw from the Hall it now provides an abundance of fruit, vegetables, salads and herbs which take centre stage on our menus and are regularly for sale in the Farm Shop.
Our Hambleton Farms Butchery counter stocks quality local and rare-breed meats, including pasture-fed Doddington herd Lincoln Red beef, properly hung to promote the best flavour.
Sausages, local game, homemade pork pies and own cured bacon are also in plentiful supply.
