Grain Store Café

Join us downstairs in the Grain Store for breakfast, lunch, coffee and cake. No booking necessary - dogs welcome!


Located downstairs in the Grain Store, our award-winning café is the perfect place to relax and refuel during your adventures on the estate. Open seven days a week, you can tuck into a hearty breakfast, linger over a leisurely lunch or simply treat yourself to a slice of cake.

All of our dishes are made with the freshest local ingredients. Our menus feature produce foraged from across the estate, along with fruit, vegetables and salad picked daily from our Kitchen Garden.

Beyond Doddington, we source the finest ingredients from across Lincolnshire and our neighbouring counties, supporting independent businesses and showcasing the very best of local.

Whether you’re coming for a family meal or meeting friends for a matcha date, the Grain Store Café is a wonderful place to watch the world go by. Pull up a seat inside, unwind on our cosy sofas or relax on the terrace - our favourite spot on a sunny day.

Join us for a drink

Relax with a speciality coffee or tea, produced by Stokes in Lincoln and prepared by our in-house baristas. You’ll also find plenty of cold drinks on the menu, including made-to-order smoothies, iced coffees, fresh milkshakes and bottled and draft soft drinks.

Our bar is open all day, serving beer, cider, cocktails and wine - including non-alcoholic options. On Friday and Saturday evenings, the bar stays open later as we host à la carte dining upstairs in the restaurant.

Pop in for a drink, and you might just find yourself staying for dinner!
