Our fresh new look for Spring

We’re thrilled to continue working with the amazing team to bring you a warm, welcoming experience with the best local produce. The Grain Shed is evolving into a true community hub, focusing on high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. Changes are already underway, with new menus, furniture, and more seating to enhance your experience. We’ve had a fantastic start to spring—and this is just the beginning!

Over the next few months, we’ll be expanding our menu and making further updates to the space. Our goal is to create a vibrant venue where guests can enjoy not only great food but also memorable experiences. We’ll be enhancing our ability to host private events and functions, along with introducing a programme of live local music nights and themed events to keep things lively throughout the year.

At The Grain Shed, our mission is to cultivate a strong sense of community while supporting local farmers and artisan producers. Sustainability and well-being are at the heart of everything we do, and we aspire to be more than just a café—we want to be a cornerstone of the community. We can’t wait to welcome you in the weeks and months ahead!
