Caldero Lounge in West Lindsey

Great family meet up venue. Lots of choice on the menu. Tapas was cooked to perfection. Good price. Fast service. App available to order. Toilet clean. Staff friendly. Saw dogs were welcome. Visited twice whilst staying here for the weekend

Great spot for coffee lovely staff a special mention for Matt who was cleaning tables near me seeing my dog asked if I needed a bowl of water for her and he brought the dog bowl and a little treat for her thanks

Called for lunch on a trip to Gainsborough. We both had a tuna melt with a portion of fries and some onion rings with a drink. People have commented in the past that it is expensive but I would say the prices are probably better than average and the food was good. Portion size was good and just what we wanted. Staff were lovely and service was very good. A very enjoyable lunch. Would highly recommend and we will be back.

Text: Fabulous. Bang Bang chicken absolutely delicious. Mexican style with garlic and chilli. Dressing best ever. Lounge breakfast excellent too. Quality produce used. Highly recommend.

Third visit to Caldero although we were in the Scarborough one (Marisco) and I enjoyed the food so much I wanted to come back to my local again. I ordered from the vegan menu (includes vegan wines ✔️ I ordered the curry. Coconut and pineapple. Oh my days it was so so tasty. I thought the morroccon flatbread was the tastiest thing I’d ever eaten but the curry is up there with it now. Thank you thank you thank you for proving that vegan food is far from boring. I enjoyed this curry immensely and would definitely order again. I just wish we had one in sunny scunny. 🙏 I also had a elderflower cooler and it was lovely (reminded me of a mojito) but very sweet. My daughter had the BLT (still think it would be better with this isn’t bacon or another flat bread rather than lardons but that’s just my opinion). We also had some sweet potato fries which were crispy and tasty. 😋 I will definitely be back! 👏👏👏

Went Marshall's Yard in Gainsborough, and Caldero Lounge called out to us, and in we popped, in need of a damned good breakfast. It was first thing in the morning after all, and we were hungry, ravenous, famished, a bit peckish. The breakfast was absolutely spot on. A really tasty plate of full English calling itself a 'Lounge Breakfast'. Nicely cooked, hot and served up in a timely fashion by very friendly staff. Highly recommended, though I do wish they'd turn the volume of the music down a notch or two.

Awful service had to wait forever, said they were ‘short staffed’ but did not intervene and go to the till kept collecting glasses. Avoid at all costs.

We chose to eat at the Caldero on a visit to Gainsborough as it was busy - always a good sign, especially as the other restaurants we looked at were all empty. Our food (the lounge breakfast and tapas) was tasty and nicely presented. We also appreciated being able to sit outside in the sun. Our server was polite and friendly. Overall, excellent place for lunch

Firstly , this is an interesting place ,conflicting artwork everywhere and the decor is jarring if you like a slick style this place is not f you , but we liked the novel recycled furniture and lighting . It seem clean enough. But I noticed the young male servers had no idea how to clean a table, they spray solution in the bottle was sprayed at random all over the salt and pepper pots and nothing was moved to clean under so the crumbs were just pushed up and under the condiment dispenser. YUK. Secondly , The staff were very friendly but extremely slow the service at the bar took for ever. When the food finally came it really wasn’t worth the wait, if your on a potion controlled diet it’s probably for you because the potions are tiny and the so called salad just half a tomato chopped and soaked in olive oil and half a dozen rocket leaves and then drizzled with even more oil ,it was at least 2 centimetres deep is certainly not worth the price . I had to send mine back as I’m allergic to olives, and when it was brought back the tomatoes were still soaked in the oil . On the other hand my partner enjoyed the breakfast meal but the potions were still stindgy Utterly useless. But the pricing if too high , we’ve had much better well cooked food with competent table servers at a third of what we paid here.

Called in on the way home from a tiring day out and needed a relax and drink. Have been here before and not been disappointed. Great that we could bring our dog in with us. Thank you, Josh for your friendly greeting and help with anything we needed to know and also for bringing our drinks to our table. Felt very welcome and comfortable

Always enjoy our meals here. The menu has changed since our last visit and a couple of meals we like have been taken off and puddings too, so slightly disappointing. Usually go in the week so a bit livelier on a Saturday night. Overall it was good.

Been a few times and the coffee is lovely. Always comes out piping hot and quickly. Food on the other hand …. Hmmm… They clearly don’t read the notes you put on orders as twice I have written no strawberry jam - allergic please can I have marmalade. To be fair they don’t bring anything with the toasted lukewarm warm teacake but they ask at the table. As the teacake is already on the colder side - by the time they brought any condiments it was too late. It’d been eaten. Breakfasts - both times the mushrooms and bacon have been cold, beans like warm but the sausages, hash brown and eggs hot. Toast is stone cold though. No idea how they can get such varied temperatures and think it’s acceptable. They put your food down and run so no chance of getting any sauces. Again they don’t read the notes. I always ask for no tomato but it always is on the plate. Have had the churros but they are very greasy and cooked in the same oil as the chips and tasted of chips in my opinion. I couldn’t eat them. The ordering system on the app is quite hard especially as the americano (black coffee) always has a default of milk in the next page of ordering. It asks if you want your coffee hot (I assume if you don’t tick this it comes cold..?) - no explanations I also don’t understand why on some items it charges for you to remove some of the ingredients…? Makes me think items are not fresh as advertised. It’s local and convenient and not amazing but not totally rubbish. We will give food one last try but if not stick to drinks. One thing to be mindful of though is they do allow in dogs and they can be noisy. They also allow the dogs to eat off the plates. I am hoping they use different plates for the dogs but who knows..!

Visited as a last minute switch from where we had planned to go for lunch for my daughter‘s birthday. I knew they had a whole vegan menu and my daughter hadn’t been before. Absolutely gorgeous food! The portions were a bit small as we left not feeling full, however, we both really enjoyed our meals. Service was good. My daughter said the avocado on her Buddhas bowl was hard (not ripe) and my cherry tomatoes were the same. Didn’t fancy any of the desserts so we didn’t bother. Next time I’ll go for something a bit more filling. Definitely will return!

We tried Caldero Lounge for the first time today and loved it. The atmosphere is great, really relaxed and laid back. Loved the mis-matched furnishings, especially light fittings! Plenty of options on the menu, I was spoilt for choice. Food & coffee all fab (see photos) Staff were all very friendly! Cannot fault it and will definitely be back! Also they accept dogs :) Thank you! Jane x

I had heard that they had a large vegan menu so first chance I had I visited with a friend. Lovely inside with high ceilings and nice decor. Clean and tidy with nice toilets equipped even with free sanitary products. ❤️✔️ Ordered the vegan breakfast but didn’t fancy falafel on it so my friend, who ordered first, asked if he could switch the falafel for a vegan sausage. He was told the sausage would have to be added as an extra and the falafel left off but wasn’t told the price so he assumed there was no charge. He then told me the same so I ordered with a americano and soya milk (they charge 30p extras for oat milk). When the staff member told me it was £17 I was shocked as £10.25 and £3.15 for the coffee doesn’t add up to £17! I should have challenged it but I really didn’t want the falafel (it’s not really a breakfast item) but I left it as is. I worked out that is been charged £3.60 for the 1 sausage. 😃 The food and coffee came and looked and tasted very nice. The vegan bacon was the vivera and I would have preferred the this isn’t as the vivera is more suitable as a topping rather than to go with a breakfast. Everything else was lovely. You’ll be spoilt for choice from the vegan menu if you visit but just make sure to ask for it when you arrive.

Was highly recommended to us and we were not disappointed. the service we received was very good by the team and our choices from the menu were enjoyed by all 3 of us. So much so we returned for lunch which again we had both good service & food.

We dine at Cosy Club, Lincoln quite often so being the same chain, thought we'd try Caldero for the first time. Mistake. My wife ordered via the app Randall worked well, until the food arrived. I chose the lunchtime 'deal' of soup and half a tomato and mozzarella panini. The soup was served at about 80C and I couldn't touch it for at least ten minutes. It was vegetable soup, bland and green. The panini, well, I couldn't find the mozzarella; the one slice of tomato was there and the rocket was plentiful. But the bread was overcooked/overheated and was absolutely brittle. We enjoy dog friendly places, didn't have ours with us, but have to draw the line at a diner being allowed to have her dog at the table, and eating tidbits from her...at the table. How can that possibly be permitted within the hygiene laws? Ah well, a mistake we won't be repeating. Bye bye, Caldero.

Visiting Gainsborough for the first time, we were very impressed with ‘Marshall’s Yard’ and what had been done to retain something of an historic former industrial site. Caldero Lounge was a very nice find for a late lunch. We were seated by a very enthusiastic young man and our food was delivered by another extremely polite young man. It was really lovely to see two young men who were keen, interested and engaging. I wish I’d asked their names but hopefully credit will be directed where it is very much due. There are interesting choices for all dietary requirements and clean plates all round was our verdict. The decor is lovely - very unusual with a lot of interesting artwork, which I would have loved to have looked at more closely. Highly recommended.

We arrived at 16.00 a starter. Then ordered the 1-3 year old granddaughters food to come with starters. Two hours later they tell us there is only one chef. We never got our main course. They had the audacity to charge us for the starter. As I went to the bar the girl that worked behind the bar had a lovely burger and chips ? Appalled at the service.

A first encounter and will unfortunately be the last. Upon arrival greeted by an enthusiastic young lad who was polite and provided great service. Drinks arrived quickly as did the food. Unfortunately, the flatbread was stale and hard to cut into on both mains. Very minimal amount of fries, served in a grubby unfit state tin cup. The lamb was very hard and the falafel was extremely dry! The tables and flooring looked grubby and dirty. As dust and dirt was visible on the majority of furnishings above our table.

6 of us went here for breakfast. We didn’t have a reservation and got seated with ease. The staff were friendly, atmosphere was great and the food was fantastic! - this place is definitely a triple threat! The hash browns were perfect! Crispy, yet light with no grease. There was lots of choice to pick from, plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. I’d definitely recommend.

This place is a hidden gem, upon arriving I was allowed to leave my mobility scooter inside no problem at all,nice friendly helpful staff, we was served straight away, we choose the tapas 3 dishes and a glass of wine which hubby said was really nice, i changed mine to a soft drink which wasn't a problem, the food arrived quickly and was amazing the flavours were very authentic and the young man that served the food was very good at making sure we had everything we wanted, it was so tasty and as good as any tapas we had in Spain.This was our 1st visit but certainly won't be our last and have already picked a date for out next visit with friends, it really was a very nice relaxed atmosphere and the decor was amazing it I dog friendly and I even saw a meal menu for dogs and also a small book exchange bookcase in the corner which was a great touch, all in all a great place with lovely staff and amazing food , well worth a visit

We have been to this restaurant many times but I feel it is going downhill. I went to the bar to order lunch. I went to the usual place.at the bar. A member of staff was making coffee, saw us standing there and didn't say anything to us. I thought he would serve us when he'd finished making the coffee. At this point there was no one else waiting. A colleague walked up to the other till and 3 groups of people got in the queue. I asked the young guy if he could take our order but he said we would have to join the other queue, which we did. The person directly in front of us placed an order for a very large table. Finally, when it was our turn, we were told to go back to the original till to be served by the original member of staff. When I expressed my dissatisfaction, he just smirked, obviously finding it quite amusing. I did point out that maybe he could have told us he wasn't taking orders and directed us to the other payment point but he didn't respond. On the plus side, the food was pretty good. Just don't go unless you have lots of time. We had a sandwich and a dessert and we were in there for nearly 2 hours!

The staff are very young friendly and earnest , the tapas were small tasty but over priced . mains arrived and the meals were cold, replaced with fresh dishes, which were inedible the flat bread bases were hard impossible to cut into , just slightly soften by the pre made sauces , hardly any meat , my lamb was tough. Sadly this was a very bad experience ,

Came here last week with 2 daughters. It was our first visit but won’t be our last when we are in Gainsborough again. The food was delicious the service was welcoming and professional. Very impressed with the toiletries in the toilets .

Just what Gainsborough needed. we love this place the burgers are amazing! its a great Addition to the town. friendly staff to especially Jo!

Solo diner I can scan and order at table. Food is yum and good choic of non alcoholic drinks as I call in on work day for quick lunch. Even though remote order staff friendly and checked to ensure all was ok. Will be back!

When this place 1st opened it was great, staff were jolly, helpful and attentive, sadly it has seriously gone down hill since, from cold hot drinks to warm cold drinks, food use to be great but the absolute joke of a portion of fries and cheese was shocking £3.55, that's an extra 60p for what equated to 5 strands of grated cheese on top of a VERY small portion of chips waste final straw, oh and the wait to be seated sign right by the door, you'd be waiting an eternity, we plus many more were ignored and ended up seating ourselves.....again....not returning

Disregard for H&S..!! We are regulars in here. We sat at the table near the toilet, to find a laptop charger plugged in on the seat. I went to the bar and told the young man and said it’s dangerous if kiddies come in and touch it etc. He said okay I’ll sort it. It’s our staff table. I proceeded to order food and sit down. On finishing I went to use the restroom. They toilet paper wouldn’t come out of the holder. So when we were leaving I asked to speak to a young girl waitress walking by. I said the lead is still here and dangerous. To be told, that’s our staff table so leave it. (I hasten to add that no signage anywhere to say it’s a staff table), I reiterated it’s dangerous, showing her again and she said oh don’t worry it’s just for staff and left it hanging there for kids or dogs to play or even chew. She went to tell a dark he lauded lady but the only thing they discussed and action was the toilet paper !. The total disregard for H&S and the customers safety was shocking. So anyone going, please be aware, you not allowed to sit near the toilet and must not speak up about unsafe practices or lack of H&S.

Went in for coffee stood waiting to be served while the staff stood eating behind the bar, place is dirty won’t be returning

Called in for an unplanned lunch and first visit, and was very pleasantly surprised. Friendly staff and amazing, varied menu. Chose the Nasi Goreng which the lovely waiter said was a great choice- sadly I didn’t get his name. He was right- It was delicious- full of delicate flavours. Slight downside was that the portion wasn’t big enough. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely return.
