    It was quite a few minutes before our order was taken. We all ordered sandwiches but it was a long time before they arrived. We waited 20 - 25 minutes for our food. One member of my party was not happy with his sandwich. He ordered a Cheese and Pickle sandwich but received a Cheese and 'Chutney' sandwich instead. Also, he did not like the dressing on his salad. My husband and I were happy with our sandwiches but did feel that the service was not up to your usual standard. However, Our dessert orders were taken quite quickly and they appeared soon afterwards. I would go back to the Grain Store as I have been happy with the service etc. on previous occasions.

    Setting is fantastic but this is our second visit & we’re told ran out of a champagne & some main course items ran out ! We went when it first opened & lots of items ran out so had hoped they would have rectified this . Staff whilst pleasant were not that attentive & had to wait a while to get drinks .
    Grain Store at Doddington HallResponded on December 23, 2024
    Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the setting, but we’re sorry to hear that your experience was impacted by the availability issues and slow service. While we strive to ensure all items are available, there are rare occasions, especially during busy times like the Christmas, when certain items may temporarily run out due to high demand. We appreciate your understanding in these situations and are continually working to improve our preparation to better meet customer expectations. We also regret that the service wasn’t as attentive as you felt it should have been and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We hope to have the opportunity to restore your faith in us and welcome you back to the Grain Store in the future.

    A lovely lunch for 4 in relaxed surroundings upstairs in the grain store. Great service by our super friendly waitress, great food and a very efficient service from all involved. We have eaten downstairs before but much prefer the upstairs with less hustle and bustle. We will definitely return for a tasty and very good value for money meal.
