    Absolutely delicious breakfast, the BEST bacon 'milk roll' I have ever eaten. Service was warm and friendly and we were left alone enough to feel relaxed but if we had needed anything extra someone tended to us swiftly! Food came out fast and our smoothies we had whilst waiting were delicious. I can tell a lot of thought and effort has gone into the finer details of the experience and the atmosphere is buzzy but relaxed. I like that you can go in jeans and a t-shirt but wouldn't have looked out of place in a suit! Super delicious and worth the slightly inflated cost of a regular cafe to experience the Grain Store.. we will be back!!!

    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.

    Whilst the ambience and staff were very good the menu was a bit limited. Two dishes disappointing. Game casserole was insipid and I doubt included much game. When I asked the waitress I was informed it was turkey and pheasant! Not what I expected especially as I had seen a delicious looking game casserole in the food hall. Lemon posset and almond tuille was indicated to be KG, kitchen garden produce, which I very much doubt it was. However it was sold out, we ate at 12.30, so I doubt they had sufficient, if any for lunchtime service. However the carrot cake was very good. It was our first visit for a birthday lunch and to be honest was I disappointed. I would be prepared to give it one more try but would expect much better in order to visit again.
