Caddy's Cob Shop in Melton

What a gem of a pub. Real old fashioned pub with a great host, great drinks and superb food. We were travelling to Lincolnshire and needed some lunch and just happened to see this pub. So glad that we chose to stop here and we can thoroughly recommend the fish goujons sandwich, absolutely delicious 😋

I visited Stapleford Park with a family group - my wife, son and girlfriend and my father-in law and his wife. We wanted to celebrate my son’s girlfriend’s birthday with a special occasion visit because, being Australian, she relished the idea of doing something typically English. The venue itself is undoubtedly impressive, but the afternoon tea experience was very disappointing. On arrival there was no proper welcome from any member of staff engaged in afternoon tea service. We were shown to our table and given a briefing from a senior staff member. After this, the level of service was virtually non-existent. Nobody asked whether everything was OK, whether more or any different teas were required. Amazingly, for this type of event, only one type of tea per person was offered. The sandwiches were unappetising, and cakes decidedly unimpressive. My father-in-law who is 98 went to the bar to settle the bill, and it was only a few days later that he showed us he’d been charged 6 x £41, plus a service charge of £30. He wasn’t told about the service charge when paying. We were outraged at the underhand way this charge had been levied, and also the fact that there was no relationship between the charge and the poor service we had received. The service charge was later refunded following a phone call by my wife. There are obvious signs of weak management and poor staff training here. Avoid if you’re looking for a more rewarding experience.

A lovely choice of dishes on the menu, cooked by a proper chef that clearly knows what he’s doing. Friendly service in a convivial village pub atmosphere is great too.

Fabulous food fabulous atmosphere my favorite drinking hole

Great little pup with an amazing oldie worldy feel to it. Staff are very helpful too. And welcoming to everyone.
