    Always well presented food, very tasty and plenty of choice and tastes catered for. Only issue is using Open Table booking system which told us there was no availability at our chosen time, however when we queried that with the waitress she said there had been plenty of room!!

    The service at the Grainstore was excellent, very quick and the young lady who served us was very pleasant and attentive. The food arrived quickly and was of a good value and quality. It wasn’t too busy upstairs and therefore noise level was good. We weren’t rushed and all our requests were met. A very pleasant experience, we will return. Thank you.

    The food was great and the young staff are excellent. The only thing was that our booked table wasn’t ready despite there being a multitude of empty tables.

    The food at the Grain Store is really good, high end and carefully prepared and presented. The restaurant is upstairs in the Grainstore and has a beautiful decor and atmosphere with gentle music playing and the french doors open on warm evenings and sunny days. Its a real treat dining here. There needs to be a touch of finesse with waiters topping up the delicious wine for the diners and perhaps the offer to have pre drinks outside and at the bar and not ushered directly to the table but other than that - highly recommended for a proper evening dinner, for a couple or group with quality high end food and drink and friendly service all round.

    The Grain Store lived up to expectations. The choices on the menu were varied and we loved the fact that produce was locally sourced and grown on the estate. Staff were friendly, very helpful and the food arrived in good time. There ambience was quiet with a gentle buzz of chat. A definite place to return to and to recommend to others.

    1 course lunchtime snack/meal for 4 people + beverages £85 rather overpriced I thought. Very uncomfortable chairs too. Good food though.
