The Pantry at the Grainstore
Delicious coffee lunch, savoury treats and cakes.
About us
Welcome to The Pantry at the Grainstore! After the restrictions were lifted we had the opportunity to open a bricks and mortar cafe here at the Grainstore.
We launched our new venture on 20th September with a soft launch at the Grainstore in Blandford Forum. Since then, word has spread rapidly about our delicious food and exciting menu. Our customer base has grown rapidly, as satisfied patrons return to try more items on the every-changing menu and bring their friends with them. Clearly, there is a love for good food in Blandford Forum, and people love to try new things. We are keeping things simple, with a seasonal menu offering classic cafΓ© dishes such as jackets and paninis that change regularly, as well as a core menu of delicious sandwiches made fresh to order. We also make all our cakes, sweet treats and savoury snacks from scratch changing up the selection often. We are going from strength to strength as we enter our third year and have to thank all our wonderful customers for their support and encouragement. We are excited for even greater things in the next coming months as we enter into 2024.
The ingredients are sourced locally within Dorset, we brew locally roasted coffee from the Beanpress coffee company and our menu is based on customer favourites, with inspiration coming from the seasons and available produce. We value the abundance of local product in the area and think itβs crucial to be part of a community.
All dishes are made from scratch and cooked on the premises, with sandwiches and paninis are made fresh to order. Sweet treats such as homemade cakes, pastries and cookies are available every day, with the menu changing weekly.
The Pantry at the Grainstore serves the local community of Blandford Forum and the surrounding towns and villages. We are open for sit in, takeaway and a a pre-order service is available via WhatsApp or phone call.
