6 of us popped in for a quick pint before evening meal at home. We were all taken by the friendly atmosphere so decided to order our tea there. All meals were spot on, served without delay & in a friendly & courtiers way. We shall return.

Very disappointing food and atmosphere in the bar, chips black, meat tough and vegetables virtually non existent. Owner guy a bit strange, think he is new since last going, staring at people and not really making a welcoming feeling. Very disappointing return and not coming back under current ownership.

Took visiting son from Australia for traditional Sunday Roast. Was embarrassing. Fatty lamb heaped in a pile Cold carrots Roast potatoes cooked to a crisp Cauliflower cheese in milk not sauce Gravy like tea. Wish we’d walked out. So disappointing

Sorry to say Sunday lunch was poor under cooked beef and was tuff. But on menu it said jam roly poly But when it came it was jam Swiss roll cut into 3 slice, which was cold with warm custard. Nothing like a jam rolly poly. All for £7 pounds. Not impressed.

Wasn't at all happy we had family staying with us and I had been told that this was the place to go I booked this a week in advance when we arrived we was told there was only a limited amount of food left there excuse was they had a big walk in and this is why they hadn't got enough food which was a very and poor excuse after us booking a week in advance so I find it very hard to score as out of 5 it would be a zero it was our first and it will be our last

The Butcher and Beast in Heighington has recently changed management with Alex and Allen taking over. Alex and Allen are taking the time to see what works and first impressions are it is working very well. There is a very good selection of beers and I have not been disappointed in their condition. The team behind the bar and working in the restaurant are happy and pleasant to be around. Regarding the food, well where do I start? The new chef, Lenny, obviously has skill and takes the time to discuss the food if you can make the effort to engage with him. We have eaten his food several times and have always been thoroughly impressed with the quality, flavour, and presentation. There are often specials which offer traditional and sometimes something a little unusual such as Cajun spiced haloumi skewers; these were really very good. To summarise, if you want to experience excellent food at very realistic prices, please give the pub a go. You may have to book or be a little patient if you just turn up, but I feel you should not be disappointed.

Visited this quant family run pub with the family to celebrate a birthday. The atmosphere was excellent and the staff provided a swift and professional service. Above all the meals were excellent. The family had a variety of meals off the menu, I personally had fish, chips and mushy peas which was superb. All the family commented on how good their meals were. One of the family had curry which was exceptional. I would recommend this quaint family run pub to anyone and would like to offer our compliments to the management team, staff and in particular the chef. Highly recommended.

5 of us visited for lunch today. 2 salads were OK but I would have liked a couple of new potatoes with my chicken and bacon salad as with the salmon salad. Chips were disappointingly limp and overcooked, fish finger wrap was OK but burger was disappointingly small when compared with the beasty burger and blue cheese served up by previous landlord. A pity as this used to be our go-to pub for a meal.

Used to be our favourite local pub until they cancelled our Wedding Reception 3 weeks before our big day. Cancelled via email too, not even so much as a phone call to apologise. Thankfully another local venue stepped in and ensured we had a fantastic day, despite having to rearrange everything with 3 weeks notice. We haven't been back to this pub since pre wedding and to be honest we don't really want to.

We plumped for the medium/regular portion, which we felt was of a very generous size, so much so we couldn't manage a pud. Very quick service and well cooked meat and vegetables. Thoroughly enjoyable Sunday lunch. I would definitely recommend based on our experience.

We picked this place for a double birthday celebration Sunday lunch as the reviews we read seemed to suggest this was a nice place to go. What a disappointment! We were squashed onto a table right in a corner by the wall and in front of a screen. We actually had to physically pick the table up and move it so we could all sit down as it was so tightly jammed in we couldn't get to it. We asked if we could change tables, as the restaurant was almost empty but we were rather snappishly told by the waitress that this was our table and we couln't move. If the other tables had been booked I would have understood that, but only one other family came in the whole time we were there, so plenty of other tables were available.We ordered drinks but when one arrived which was meant to be gin and tonic, the glass was completely full (right to the top)with ice! The gin was under all the ice and was completly drowned. I have never seen a full glass of ice over a drink...it was really awful.The food was distinctly average, and everthing came dumped on the plate, including the gravy which was unfortunate as one of our party doesn't like gravy. Usually it comes separatly and you have a choice to put it on your food. Altogether not a great experience and spoiled out birthday treat. At almose £100 for 4 people it was shockingly expensive for what we got. I wouldn't recommend it and we certainly won't be going back.

Beer's good. Food is standard pub grub. Went last night. After being seated were kept waiting 30 mins to be served. We all had steak, one of them was off, it smelt putrid. After asking the waitress to smell it her response was "I hate people". The kitchen said all they could smell was the Stilton sauce. I had the Stilton sauce, it definitely wasn't that. No attempt to correct the problem or any acknowledgement there was a problem, apparently the customer is always wrong. We won't be going back!
