Advocate Arms Hotel in West Lindsey

Wow No wonder this place is dead on a Saturday lunch time. Reserved a table as we havnt visited here for about 4 years. Sat for ten min, waitress came up and asked what we wanted to order - we hadn't even been asked for our drink order . Went for the small plates. 3 for £24 Took about 20 min to arrive. My jaw dropped when it did. I asked the waitress, what is that , pointing at the squid.. portion so small. Squid , hardly any of the plate, and fishy. Underwhelming to say the least. Bao buns Supposed to have Asian slaw on top Not sure where that was Beef brisket croquettes. Hardly any sauce. Meat so dry inside , burnt tasteless leeks on top Stone cold plates to eat off Loudness of the staff joking messing about in the back ground Place is dire. Not great standards .

Very welcoming and pleasant staff, great coffee and scones.

Went there on the sat 5th and oh my days , always try the cocktails out and they are quality but this week , no proper pineapple only tinned pineapple, wt the heck , its a shame for the price of each cocktail, for a place of this high standard in town, it's slowly going down hill !!!!

Stayed 29th May 2024 for 1 night only but an excellent choice. Room large (1), great shower and tidy and neat. Food first class at very reasonable prices and good breakfast also, only slight drawback is no onsite parking but only a minute walk away and certainly didnt detract from the experience and value for money. Would definitely stay again if in the area, first class

We booked this through an experience voucher and it is a hidden gem! Clean, cosy room with a large bathroom. All the staff are attentive. Wide range of choice for breakfasts, lunch and dinners which were all delicious. Perfect for a chilled weekend away.

We had a nice meal, we had the ciabatta bbq chicken (funny that the ciabatta wasn't crispy...) but it was very tasty!

Had a lovely meal last night, Had a lovely breakfast this morning, set us up for the racing. Going back tonight for a meal, looking forward to it😎 Staff really friendly Great service. Didn't book a room, wish we had 😭

Had a really nice 2 night stay here. The rooms are very clean, the beds are nice and comfortable too. Breakfast was cooked fresh to order. Parking is easy as there is a cheap public car park very close by (2 minute walk) We have already booked another 2 night stay for April. I would recommend this pub/hotel.

Lovely old style hotel. Very comfortable, food excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great location too!

Great little hotel. I really liked the dinner here, and the service was prompt. They made excellent recommendations for dinner, and I was quite pleased. It was a bit awkward and clumsy lugging my suitcase up 2 flights of stairs as the staircase was quite narrow, but what else would you expect from an 18th-century building. Point is, leave your large luggage in your car if you can. Pictures are from room #7

Lovely and right in the centre of town...

Popped in for lunch on the off chance on a Monday Afternoon. There was either the option of their extensive Brunch Menu which is served from the morning until 2pm, or a 2/3 Course Set Lunch Menu which was very well priced. My wife had the Three Cheese Bites for Starter, I had the Tomato Soup - Both very hot and tasty . For mains we went with the Turkey and Stuffing Pie and the Cottage Pie - Again hot and appetising, though a slight negative was the sheer volume of mash compared to meat on the Cottage Pie - but at the end of the day, it's a lunch time set menu. The only thing that dented a nice afternoon, was when my wife asked for a Black Americano, it appeared at the table at such speed, a lot of it was in the saucer, and the waitress had vanished before the tide had come back in on the other side of the cup! So my wife had to sit for a few minutes until another waitress appeared so that she could ask for some sugar, which hadn't been offered or presented at the time of the Usain Bolt-esque appearance of the coffee 😂 I'll chalk it down to a quiet Monday afternoon, and us being there towards the end of the shift. Overall, the Advocate has a great reputation locally, and the numerous AA Rosettes on display in the stylish restaurant, are testament to a great place to dine - we have only been twice in 6 years, so will be making more of an effort to return from now on
