    Wonderful experience from start to finish. Lovely staff, beautiful restaurant and sublime food. My husband declared it the best steak he’d had in years! We will be back. Thank you so much.

    Another incredible meal at The Grainstore at Doddington Hall – quite simply the best dining experience in Lincolnshire. The food, as always, was exceptional. You can really taste the difference with homegrown produce; everything was fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavour. This time though, it wasn’t just the food that stood out. The service was genuinely next level – warm, bubbly staff who clearly love what they do, creating such a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The background music set the perfect tone and, as the sun set over the stunning Lincolnshire countryside, it was hard to imagine a more idyllic setting. There really is nowhere better in Lincolnshire – an absolute gem. Can’t wait to go back.

    Our first time at the Grain Store, we came for a family birthday dinner. Everything was great - the service was exceptional, the food delicious and the restaurant itself has a really nice feel to it. Everything was spotlessly clean too.

    Great tasting food, but portion size difference meant one person finished their meal 20 mins before other diner. No advice on ordering side dishes on menu or by waitress.

    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.
