Doddington Hall
OUR ETHOS
We are determined to be as environmentally friendly as possible, considering our impact on tomorrow as well as today.
Sustainability is an ongoing journey rather than a fixed destination. By making thoughtful and responsible decisions now, we continue to move forward in the right direction.
From our rewilding projects to our day-today operations, we are committed to caring for the estate in a way that protects it for generations to come.
We will always endeavour to take practical actions that reduce our environmental impact, enhance biodiversity and support the local community.
These “Green Commitments” can be seen in more detail below.
Thinking about
stopping by?
With so much to do at Doddington, it can be hard to fit everything into just one day. So here are a few useful things to know before you set off:
Field to Fork
Our commitment to sustainability begins with our food. At Doddington Hall, we create dishes that showcase the finest seasonal ingredients.
We shape our menus around produce grown in our walled Kitchen Garden and ingredients foraged from across the estate. Our gardeners use organic techniques to maintain healthy soils and productive growing systems without the use of chemical fertilisers or pesticides.
Beyond the estate, we work closely with trusted local growers and producers from Lincolnshire and the surrounding counties.
Nose to tail
We take a nose-to-tail approach to butchery, ensuring every cut is valued. This reflects our commitment to reducing waste and is rooted in respect for the livestock we rear on the estate.
Our own herd of Lincoln Red cattle are central to our Wilder Doddington project. Managed as part of a wider regenerative approach to farming, they play an important role in improving biodiversity and soil health while supporting long-term carbon sequestration across the estate.
Heritage meets
Sustainability
We collaborated with Flame UK to introduce a range of initiatives across the estate, embedding sustainable practices into both our operations and the visitor experience.
Life in the
Kitchen garden
Discover our Kitchen Garden through the eyes of our talented kitchen gardener, Ellie. Two-and-a-half acres of wall-to-wall vegetables, herbs and fruit for the estate.
Sample our
Seasonal Produce
In the Doddington Farm Shop, you can find our estate-grown ingredients, alongside local produce from Lincolnshire suppliers.
Electric vehicle
Chargers
We have five Type 2 (22kW) EV chargers for visitors to use to charge their vehicles whilst visiting the estate. Installed in collaboration with Qwello, the chargers are located in the car park near the Grain Store.
