We have been many times but was very very disappointed - the summer food menu was poor and the service very very poor . We had to chase every drinks order and the service got worse as the night went on. This was an anniversary dinner too so a special celebration !

Food was excellent. Not a huge choice but it meant what was there was of the highest quality. Service was faultless with knowledgeable and attentive staff. It’s quite a big place and it wasn’t very full when we went which made it quiet but overall would recommend.

We have visited the Grainstore on numerous occasions and this is the first time we were disappointed. The menu is more relaxed and felt a bit “pubby”, definitely not up to the usual a la carte menu we have seen in the past. This visit was meant to be special as it was for my daughter’s birthday and it was not special. Hope it can go back the fine dining we have been used to.
Grain Store at Doddington HallResponded on June 25, 2025
Thank you for your honest feedback and for visiting us on multiple occasions. We're sorry to hear this visit didn’t meet the expectations we've set in the past, especially on such a special day. We understand how important consistency and atmosphere are and we’ll certainly take your comments about the menu and overall experience into consideration as we consistently look for ways to improve. We do hope you’ll give us the chance to welcome you back to the Grain Store again in the future.

We've been on many occasions for the sunday lunch birthdays, the Christmas lunch menu and mother's day and various other Sundays had a great experience but to be honest father's day was disappointing no starter menu's anymore, the roast beef sunday lunch was Luke warm and no longer are the vegetables served separately in warm dishes that was a nice touch . Sadly with plenty of other options in the Lincoln area we won't be rushing back .
Grain Store at Doddington HallResponded on June 18, 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for your continued support. We’re sorry to hear that your Father’s Day experience didn’t meet the standards you’ve come to expect from us. We appreciate your comments regarding the temperature of the food and the changes to our Sunday lunch service. It’s helpful to hear what’s been missed, especially from loyal guests like yourselves and we’ll certainly be reviewing this with the team. While we’re sorry to hear you won’t be rushing back but we do hope you might consider giving us another try in the future.

We ordered steak but unfortunately the chef was unable to cook it to our preference and the menu is very limiting which is a shame as we have been previously and it has been very good

Your comments have been shared with the kitchen team and we’ll also take your thoughts on the menu into account as we plan future offerings.

We ate here a couple of times in relatively quick succession, a week apart. Once for dinner and once for lunch. The food, ambiance, location and general feel was very good, but the attentiveness and organisation of the (otherwise lovely) servers could be improved.
