In-Lodge Dining Delivered: A Private Chef Experience in the Countryside
A luxury lodge holiday at Bainland is all about having the freedom to enjoy every moment of your stay exactly as you choose. Whether you’ve spent the day exploring the Lincolnshire Wolds with active kids, relaxing in your bubbly hot tub on the decking, or discovering local attractions, tucking into great food is a must!
Our dining options have been created to be every bit as outstanding as our accommodation. From freshly prepared breakfasts delivered directly to your lodge, relaxed evenings in with your favourite dish off our fantastic menu, to private dining experiences with your own chef and cocktails served by our professional bartenders, there’s something to suit every occasion.
For those travelling solo, planning a romantic getaway, celebrating with friends, or enjoying a family holiday, you’ll discover a range of dining options that fit around your plans.
Dining Designed Around Your Stay
A Relaxed Dining Experience
For solo travellers, enjoy the convenience of having freshly prepared meals delivered directly to your lodge. Sip a freshly brewed coffee, enjoy a relaxed lunch after exploring Lincolnshire or an evening meal without the need to cook, with everything available at the touch of a button with our Copper Goose service. Every lodge at Bainland includes a QR code that allows all our guests to browse our menus, place an order through the app and have food delivered to your door via our fleet of electric delivery carts.
Enjoy quality food exactly when you want it, surrounded by the comfort and privacy of your own luxury lodge. A slow breakfast, a takeaway-style pizza evening, a glass of wine overlooking the countryside or a quiet coffee while planning the next day’s adventures.
Romantic Dining
For couples staying at Bainland, a romantic break is all about slowing down, switching off and enjoying time together.
Start the day with a delicious breakfast delivered straight to your door, then, as evening falls, settle in and enjoy a relaxed meal in the comfort of your own space.
Our Grazing Boards are a firm favourite, offering a generous selection of delicious, locally sourced and homemade treats, all made for sharing. From fine Lincolnshire cheeses and artisan charcuterie to indulgent savouries and plant-based favourites, there’s something to tempt every taste.
Designed for leisurely evenings, our grazing boards are perfect for pouring a glass of something you love, settling in and enjoying each bite. Just good food, great company and the simple pleasure of being together.
Family-Friendly Dining
For parents, mealtimes can often be one of the most challenging parts of travelling with young children. Our delivery service offers flexible options that work around regular family routines, from an early dinner after a busy day exploring to a relaxed evening meal while everyone unwinds in the lodge.
Children can enjoy their own menu options, while parents and grandparents can choose from a wide selection of dishes to suit different tastes.
Avoid the stress of getting everyone ready for a restaurant, travelling elsewhere for dinner or trying to keep children entertained while waiting for food. Instead, families staying with us can enjoy relaxed mealtimes in the comfort of their own accommodation.
Group Getaways
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday with us, enjoying a luxury weekend with friends or bringing large groups together, enjoy the simplicity of ordering a selection of dishes. Share food, chat, play games and unwind on the decking.
Alternatively, for special occasions, such as hen weekends or family reunions, our private dining service provides something truly special. Our onsite private chefs allow everyone to enjoy a professionally prepared meal without needing to organise transport or leave the lodge. Add a private bartender or cocktail masterclass, and the evening becomes an experience in itself!
Luxury Dining Without Leaving Your Lodge
Available daily from 8am to 11am, our in lodge breakfast menu offers a delicious selection of breakfast baps, from a full breakfast bap to classic sausage or bacon, alongside a range of vegetarian options.
Make the most of your morning by soaking up the sunshine on your private decking, or gther around the dining table and enjoy a leisurely breakfast before the day begins.
If you’re planning a peaceful afternoon in your luxury lodge, there’s no need to venture out to lunch. Simply order lunch or a quick bite to your lodge and settle in with a freshly brewed coffee or tea. Catch up with friends over sharing platters, from tempting charcuterie boards to Mediterranean-inspired mezze, or enjoy an easy family lunch without leaving the comfort of your lodge.
Whether grandparents are relaxing with younger guests or you’re simply making the most of your surroundings, dining has never been easier.
Relaxed Evenings, Made Simple
As evening arrives, enjoy relaxed dining. Our evening menu has been carefully thought out to suit a variety of tastes and occasions. Stone-baked pizzas are ideal for cosy nights in, while our juicy gourmet burgers provide satisfying comfort food after a busy day. Younger guests also have their own children’s menu to enjoy.
Open a bottle of wine, enjoy a relaxed family film night with board games, or solely spend more time together and less time thinking about meal preparation.
Treat Yourself to Private Dining
For special moments that deserve something extra, a private chef experience is the perfect way to add a touch of luxury to your Bainland stay! Make a birthday, a family weekend, a romantic occasion or a time away with friends one to remember.
Perfect for 10 or more guests, talented private chefs will come directly to your lodge and prepare delicious dishes that champion the quality of Lincolnshire produce and will provide a bespoke experience tailored around your celebration.

Sharing Platters and Informal Dining
For groups of friends or families who prefer a more relaxed atmosphere, our sharing platters provide the perfect way to enjoy great food and conversation.
