South Ormsby Estate is a 3,000 acre Lincolnshire Wolds estate selling grass fed, pasture raised Lincoln Red beef from its own organic herd through its own butchery.
South Ormsby Estate is a 3,000 acre estate in the Lincolnshire Wolds, farmed by the Massingberd-Mundy family for close to four hundred years.
Its herd is Lincoln Red, one of Britain's oldest native breeds, and the estate's own pages describe the cattle as grass fed and pasture raised on a forage based diet. Cattle Manager Philip Taylor looks after the pedigree herd and describes it as organic. Nothing on the estate's beef pages mentions grain finishing.
The beef is cut in the estate's own artisan butchery and sold direct, with steaks, roasting joints, mince, burgers and offal ordered from the online shop for click and collect from the estate or next day delivery. The estate also distils its own gin on site, tends an organic vineyard, runs guided walks across the Wolds and hosts a rural business incubator on the same land. Estate Manager Paul Barnes has over twenty years of estate and farm management behind him.

We had such a lovely time at South Ormsby Estate. Sara and Paul, the Estate Manager, were fantastic hosts—friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The wines were all excellent, and we never felt rushed. Everything was beautifully set out in stunning surroundings, so we could relax and really enjoy the tasting at our own pace. It was well worth the visit, and we enjoyed it so much that we’ve already booked more experiences. We can’t wait to come back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable day out.
Been on a very nice tour! Definitely recommend visiting.
Beautiful area to walk around.

Google said it was open but on visiting today we discovered it is under construction for approx 2 years and currently closed to the public!
Had a tour of the park and gardens today, Damian was our guide joined later by Freya, both were very knowledgeable and really friendly. The beef sandwich was delicious and the gin tasting was very very nice. It was great to hear about the past and the future of the estate. The tour has given me the appetite for further visits to discover more about the place 💙
We had a walking tour of this estate recently which was well worth it. It was free, if you register as a 'friend of South Ormsby Estate' but otherwise it was a fiver. Our guide was excellent. (thank you Peter) We also had talks on the way around from various staff who discussed their beef herd; (we had a lovely beef baguette and ice cream produced on their estate) their gin distillery (free samples given, very nice if you like gin) and their free range turkeys. Lovely countryside walk and scenery.
A beautiful guided tour of the South Ormsby Estate tucked away in the Lincolnshire wolds. Everyone seems happy in their work here.
Had the most amazing guided walk yesterday (22.05.22) with a lovely group and fantastic walk leader called Pete. Met some lovely staff, are an amazing Lincoln red beef bap, tested home made gin & met the Norfolk black turkeys. I thought it was lovely that John the owner made a special effort to come and meet us......oh & the scenery was spectacular!! Well worth booking onto! Thank you.
We visited South Ormsby Estate on Sunday and had a lovely roast beef role, flapjack and coffee. Heidi in the coffee shop was a lovely friendly girl. We also spoke to another lady who works on the estate who was also very friendly and informative. Would highly recommend a visit and when booking your complimentary food and drink make a donation, it all goes back into the community and estate.
