Grain Store Restaurant & Bar

Enjoy a dining experience to remember in our award-winning restaurant, with views of the Wilder Doddington landscape.


Located upstairs in the Grain Store, our restaurant is open daily for breakfast and lunch, as well as dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings.

This stylish space is also where we host Sunday lunches, à la carte evenings and special events such as Jazz Night and Supper Club.

Whilst our café downstairs is open for walk-ins, if you make a booking you will be seated in our restaurant.

Offering sweeping views across the estate, this warm and welcoming space is a beautiful setting for a meal at any time of day. You can enjoy the same menu as our café, with the added comfort of knowing your table will be ready and waiting on arrival.

Sunday lunch at the Grain Store

Our favourite meal of the week, Sunday lunch at the Grain Store restaurant is one to savour. We don’t rush our roast, and we encourage you to do the same. Sundays are for spending time together around the table, enjoying good food – and a glass of wine or two.

We keep things simple on Sundays, focusing on seasonal ingredients, sustainably sourced meat and estate-grown produce. Think slow-roasted beef, traditional trimmings and, of course, lashings of thick gravy.

À la carte evenings

As the estate winds down for the night, the Grain Store comes to life. Join us for dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings to experience a real taste of Doddington. With delicious dishes, great wine and a relaxed atmosphere, our à la carte evenings are all about slowing down and sharing in our love of good food.

Whether you’re here for a date night or dinner with friends, our beautiful restaurant is the perfect setting for an evening meal. Overlooking the Wilder Doddington landscape, you can enjoy an uninterrupted view across the Lincolnshire countryside as you dine. Join us as the sun goes down and you’re in for a real treat…

Staying at Doddington

Whether you’re joining us for à la carte dining, Sunday lunch or a special event, the menus in our restaurant let the ingredients do the talking.


Our à la carte menus are where our chefs get creative. Guided by our nose-to-tail philosophy, you can sample unique cuts of Lincoln Red beef, paired with ingredients grown in our Kitchen Garden and foraged from the estate.

Slow cooked to perfection, we take our Sunday roasts seriously, with our own beef taking centre stage again. Served with the most delicious selection of homegrown vegetables, this is a real taste of Lincolnshire.
