    Unfortunately had to have 3rd choice wine as first two unavailable! Food was ok but Roast potatoes were severely overcooked as was the Yorkshire pudding. Service was excellent and attentive!
    Grain Store at Doddington HallResponded 2 days ago
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear that you found the service excellent and attentive, but we're sorry to learn that your experience with the wine and food didn’t meet your expectations. We do strive to keep all menu items available, but occasionally, some may sell out and we’re sorry to hear that this was the case with several wines when you visited. We’ll pass your comments about the roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding on to our chef team for review. We truly appreciate your feedback and we hope you’ll give us another chance to provide you with a better experience next time.

    Once a month a group of friends from Scothern eat out as a social looking for a really good restaurant offering a high quality dining experience. Here the food was outstanding, we were a party of 10 and everyone was happy with their food. The service was the best we have received in the Lincoln area. The surroundings were top quality, although probably one of the more expensive restaurants we have visited, the group were more than happy to pay the extra as it was worth it. I know that some of the group members will be visiting the restaurant for lunch. Top notch food, service and overall experience.

We truly appreciate your recognition of the quality of both our food and surroundings. We look forward to welcoming some of your party back for lunch soon and we hope to have the pleasure of hosting you all again in the future.

    Really good food, good quality burgers and a huge jacket potato. Lovely setting and music at a minimum which was great as we could talk and hear each other easily. Professional and friendly service too.

    Such a lovely valentines dining experience from start to finish. High quality food, beautifully presented and delicious flavours. Service was discreet though attentive and personal as well as professional. The atmosphere was lovely, pianist was a special touch as was the rose at each table. The venue was clean, modern, spacious but also able to create an intimate feel for dining couples. It’s a rare find to have good food, professional service with a smile and all presented in lovely surroundings.

    Food very nice although whoever decided that presenting a scallop in it's shell on a bed of sand should think again as too easy to rest your fork or knife in the sand. Disappointing to be seated downstairs where the seats are not that comfortable for dining.
    Grain Store at Doddington HallResponded on February 18, 2025
    Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the food and appreciate your thoughts on the scallop presentation. We will certainly take your comments into consideration as we continually look for ways to improve. For the seating, we do have cushions available for diners to use upon request but thank you for sharing your feedback regarding the seating, this has been passed on to the front of house team. We look forward to welcoming you back to the estate again soon.

    Breakfast was very good indeed and my reason for overall being 4stars rather than 5stars is the menu. A pancake dish and a fish dish would have meant 5 stars all round.
