Dambusters Inn in West Lindsey

The food was good and the atmosphere great as the place was busy. On the downside, we were very cramped for space at the table because they had obviously squeezed as many people in as possible. Also, when my young granddaughter needed her nappy changing we discovered there were no changing facilities. We were told they didn’t have space despite having had a fairly recent extension. Unfortunately I don’t think we would go again with a child or children.

Came here on a recommendation, and oh boy was it good the service was brill, the staff were friendly and attentive, the manager was really good even shown me around and told me some do the history shown me photos and explained them! The food is top notch and the beers are good!! Had such a good time can’t wait to come back again!

Very Interesting pub with lots of Interesting information on the Dambusters and pictures. Very friendly staff and we were given a small tour by one of the owners. The menu is not large and is changed daily ,my husband had the steak pie and it was lovely . Would come back again when in the area again and recommend it to friends .

Superb food with a lovely atmosphere , freshly cooked food served by very polite and knowledgeable staff, a great evening had by all the family - we would definitely recommend to anyone

Excellent food. Friendly service and reasonable prices. We have been to this pub several times recently and the food never disappoints. We are working our way through the menu and can’t wait to visit again

Called for lunch. Had a starter and a main each with a soft drink. The service was fantastic. The pub was very interesting- could have spent hours looking round the displays and the food was excellent. Very quick service and the food was hot and very tasty. My only criticism would be that the fish batter was very salty as was my spicy chicken starter but otherwise everything was spot on. First time we’ve visited but we will be back. They also do gluten free options for a lot (if not all) of the menu options. My only regret is that we were too full to have a dessert!! Very good food, value and the staff were brilliant.

Poor service, table waiting staff had no idea what drinks were available. Long wait for food and one of the meals was incorrect. Impossible to get out of the main door for dogs laying against it and customers look at you gone out if you ask them if you can get bye.

Such a friendly venue with exceptional atmosphere including a beautiful beer garden for dining and a unique historic interior. The food is excellent and the ploughmans is especially good. All at a fair price. A must visit venue in Lincolnshire.

Great pub . Food was excellent. I had the Haddock and chips and I think it was the best I have ever had, Dad had the Wild boar sausages and he raved about it as did my Mum with the Salmon. I have 2 pints of the "Dambusters" ale that was one of the best pints I have had for years, at 3.8% just right for session beer the service was first class. The pub is a great education with lots of genuine artifacts from 617 sqn. so much history and so interesting. Well done!

A beautiful Friday evening meal in the Dambusters! Friendly welcome, great service, fantastic service and reasonable prices. The decor is a wonderful reminder of the near by former bomber base. The mushroom starter was great and the haddock was faultless. We will return soon!

Had a delicious lunch time meal! Haddock was well presented and tasted lovely! After lunch we were given the full tour of the numerous pictures and dam-busters items by the charismatic and very knowledgeable Steve. The generous time he gave appeared to be no problem to him. If in the area this is a must go to venue Thank you dambusters inn Dolo and Jeannette from Kent

We went here on recommendation. It truly did not disappoint! We had the creamy garlic mushrooms and pate for starters. For mains we had the beef chili with rice and Ploughman’s. The portions were unreal! Such great food! The chili was to die for! I couldn’t finish it all as there was so much. The Ploughman’s was big with 2 cheeses (big chunks), pickle, roast beef slices, bread and a pork pie. Everything was decorated in the Dambusters theme - even the toilets! Gorgeous murals and memorobilia everywhere you look. There was a queue before it opened at 12pm. Highly recommend this place - especially if you are a history buff. Great food anyway if you aren’t.

The Dambuster Inn full of HIstory and memorabilia from the HIstoric Raids on the Dams. The Servers were professional and happy. The food for both me and my partner was absolutely astounding. I had the Venison Burger and my partner had the Ploughman's meal. We both had a dessert and it was just as good. It was like walking into a WWII Museum where you could sit down to eat perfect. Also a great place to honour the Men and Women that fought in the War.

We drove 40 minutes to celebrate a birthday at this pub having been before and really enjoyed eating there. What a disappointment to find staff that were curt, inattentive and made us feel like an inconvenience to their evening. (The food was still very good).

Great venue with fantastic RAF memorabilia dotted around Main course Scampi was excellent Pie was excellent Steak was good but not worth the price for the quality Desserts were disappointing especially the trifle which we sent back but was only deducted from bill when pointed out at payment Should have been deducted by waitress as soon as returned Service generally was ok but not the best Desserts were served without cutlery and we had to go to bar to ask for spoons Previous visits have been better so maybe this is all due to being a bank holiday weekend

Sunday lunch visit - slick as you like, easily booked via phone, straight to table, slick service and amazing surroundings being a pub appropriately themed around its RAF surroundings, with lots of memorabilia on display. Food was very good, served quickly and a generous offering of drinks. Very reasonably priced and overall a very pleasant experience. I’ll be back for sure and I’d gladly recommend a visit. Just make sure you book in advance, it’s a popular destination so booking is well advised. Parking can be tricky but there are lots of places to park along the village but I would suggest being considerate of village residents when parking.

Visited on a date.The theme is obvious and you take the 1940’s music as part of the atmosphere, which is fine.We went straight to the table although we arrived early for a couple of drinks.Worth mentioning, no car park it seems so you are left finding somewhere to park in the village, not easy when busy.The menu is minimal but that’s good.We decided on the fish n chips as it looked so good on google reviews photo.It didn’t disappoint.Best fish I’ve had in a while and decent big chips.Bad points for me. Had to ask for drinks after we had been seated a little while.Asked for extra tartare sauce, never came.After the main was asked about desert, but said we would like 10 minutes to decide and a break after the main, never came back so we didn’t have desert.Didn’t lay the table very well in front of us, re cutlery.The waiting staff (some ) I figured were a little inexperienced and nervous and…. Forgetful.I would go back though.

Booked a table for two Sunday lunchtime. Arrived early. Greeted by friendly waitress who said our table was ready and she took a drinks order . Interesting airforce artifacts and medal/photo gallery of WW2 aircrew. Licencee came over and gave an overview of the display. Ordered a roast dinner which came within 15 minutes. Hot and tasty tender beef. 40's music played over the speakers loud enough to hear and have a conversation. Attentive young staff throughout. Lots of customers without it being cramped. A great lunch experience. Would definitely go back .

Stopped here on the way through, heard about it but not stopped, glad we did, beautiful place and food was lovely! Took into account i didn't like peas so changed that without blinking an eye! Husband had steak and Ale pie and said the meat was amazing and no gristle at all! We are going to try and get there for an evening meal as well so hopefully change of menu at night, but if not there is quite a good selection anyway.

We've been here before on a few occasions and it's always been ok but nothing special but today's visit left us disappointed and wished we hadn't bothered.We got our drinks and were told our table was ready so there we sat and waited and waited nobody came we felt overlooked as the table behind us who had just arrived had their order taken before us so in the end I had to ask if he could take our order since I think we'd been forgotten.Food arrived about 15 mins later plates cold beef was very pink and turkey tasteless stuffing stodgy and veg and pots bland Yorkshire pud good but short on gravy there was no cutlery on our table as well which we had to wait for with our plates in front of us we ordered a glass of water but it never came we couldn't be bothered with puds or coffee.Staff were inexperienced and lacked any personality Manager abit grumpy when we complained we hadn't had our order taken.We won't visit again and waste our money.

A busy early evening glad we had booked squid was very good, as was the chicken liver Pate and sourdough bread, lasagne hot lots of flavour, steak and ale pie lovely pastry nice and crisp. Liked the Prosecco blush says extra dry on label but just right, nicely chilled. Service nice and professional manager as always, looking after his customers. Will be back soon.

This was along time ago it has most likley changed now. I have noticed that there have been a lot of alterations.

Absolutely first class food could not fault and staff very welcoming.brilliant place to go and have a relaxing time

Awful, inedible beef, the worst Sunday lunch I have ever had.The best bit was the Yorkshire pudding.I’d of been better off having beans on toast, made to wait for our table which was not even clean ….worrying under the current circumstances!!!Toilets were a disgrace, staff were clueless, manager was abrupt and rude, beer was terrible all in all an absolute shambles of a place .Been here many times in the past but will never go again , what has happened??

We arrived at 1 55 for our 2pm booking, table wasn't ready until 2 15. It took 40 minutes to receive our starters. Our main of roast beef arrived 1 hour and 15 minutes after ordering. The roast beef was so rare neither of us ate it. We did tell a member of a staff. We decided NOT to stay for dessert.The £42 bill was abit of a shock as neither of us ate much.

Not a great start ignored by 3 members of staff before owner said rudely we were very early.Only 20 minutes early as was planning on having a drink first.When sited we had to collect our own menu.Food was average my partner's rost beef was pink but he ate it.Disappointed selection of vegetables.We decided to have coffee this time ignored at the bar while waitress finished filling the fridge.Then herd her saying to another member of staff "she" wanted coffee as it was a inconvenient for them to do.To complete our experience coffee was served in chipped mugs !Sadly we will not be returning or recommending Dambusters Inn.

Went here for a family meal and loved the place. The food and the service are first class. Will definitely be back. Thank you to everyone

We have been here several times and always had a good time, however this time staff were borderline rude. The waves of disapproval we got for bringing a (not crying) baby and a well behaved toddler were unreal. We were made to feel as though we were a nuisance. Staff couldn't be bothered to make eye contact when serving us, no please or thank you and no offer to help me carry my drinks despite me obviously struggling whilst trying to carry my baby. I won't be spending money here again!!

Last here before covid. New extension,new look. More up market? We had drinks and food. Service was exceptional and the food good. Staff and chef went out of their way to provide off menu choice for one of our group. Beefburger excellent. Will go again.

A lovely pub in a stunning village. The atmosphere and decor are superb and I was surprised to learn that the pub was only 20 years old. It has been well thought out and some wonderful details celebrating the RAF and 617 Squadron. We were there for lunch and the food was simply delicious, simple and tasty and beautifully presented. The staff were polite and thoughtful and service was slick. And the beer.....well the beer was fantastic! I couldn’t rate this little country pub highly enough and would thoroughly recommend it.

I came for a meal with friend last night and the whole thing was made so unenjoyable by the terrible service. The waitress who sat us down was friendly but all of our drinks and the water glasses were dirty beyond belief. I sent the water glasses back because they were so disgusting, when they came back they'd been given a wipe but were still dirty.Then another waitress came along and was unbelievably rude, she even swore at us and I could hear her swearing around the pub! My friend was still eating her starter and she stood at the end of the table waiting for her to finish until my friend just gave her it because she felt so uncomfortable!No one checked on us whilst we ate our main courses either and whenever I asked for another drink or to add a side on, it seemed a huge inconvenience (especially to the 2nd waitress).The only saving grace is that the food was nice, just not nice enough for me to ever go back!!

Celebration meal on a Wednesday lunchtime for our son while he's at Lincoln University. Lovely welcoming pub with great attentive service and delicious food. Lots to look at around the pub too. We are already booked to come back for Sunday lunch in December. Thank you Dambusters Inn.

We passed by on a sunday for a drink and we liked the placed so much we booked a table for tuesday before we went home. So glad we did as the food was fantastic and the staff were great. Wonderful selection of ales available from the brewery which is located in the garden. We will be coming back soon

Visited this great pub after a visit to Raf Scampton tour. Very glad we did! Beautiful old pub full of mementos of the Dambusters. just went for a drink and was really impressed. nice helpful staff and a nice selection of beers. For anyone interested in the Dambusters well worth a visit.

Very nice pub, great atmosphere even with covid precautions adhered to. Great collection of items and a good sale as well. The toilet is a bit of a surprise (You know what I mean when you go there)

We visited on a weekday. Lovely food, good value. Very friendly staff. Lots of Dambusters memorabilia.

A smile from the landlord when we two elderly ladies entered would have been welcome but we were abruptly told to complete the visitor register then directed to a table with no pleasantries whatsoever.Service was prompt and our meals were satisfactory. The only friendly greetings came from "Bomber", the Inn's Black Labrador dog.A lovely pub meal spoiled by the lack of charm from the staff.

We were told we had to visit here so we popped in, managed to get a table for lunch do advise to book though with current Covid-19. We had a fantastic lunch and soaked in all the history, which the staff are very accommodating explaining it to you. It's a little gem for all Lancaster Bomber fans

We booked a table here after visiting The International Bomber Command Centre and was so impressed! Not only was the food amazing, the staff were lovely, very friendly and accommodating, the venue itself is spectacular! I was so busy looking at all the Artiodactyla around the venue, every corner has something different and more fascinating to look at. I didn’t take any pictures of the food but I had the Chilli and the two other members of my party had the ploughman’s lunch which they said was reallyGood! We were also introduced (and we are now addicted to) the Dambusters Cheese! Oh this cheese is amazing and I highly recommend! Thank you for a wonderful meal!

During this strange period of socially distancing etc it is worth a mention for the systems in place at this establishment to ensure your safety and wellbeing.From entry to exit, we felt safe and secure with the knowledge that safe distancing and cleanliness appeared at the top of there list. The food and service were of a high standard and we left feeling safe and secure. congratulations on a well managed and secure house

Been a few times and always happy, this time disappointed. Waitresses miserable( not one with visor, she was lovely) chips undercooked, not normal standard. Waitress couldn't even work the bill out, as not good at Mathews she said. Such a shame

Had a meal here last night and it was lovely. Had the rib eye steak that was cooked beautifully and came with home made chips onion rings salad etc. Husband had fish and chips which was enormous. Pleasant surroundings and polite staff would thoroughly recommend.

We just wanted to pop in for a quick drink. Barman fine but table service waitres was so uninterested and grumpy. When she finally took our order she got it wrong - how can you get two drinks wrong - and then when we wanted to pay never came back and had to ask someone else. Took an hour just to have a drink.

Steak was brilliant and so was the Rioja. I would also recommend the Cotswolds single malt - it was suggested by one of the staff - it was a really good dram. The same person (chap in the very smart waistcoat) was very knowledgeable about the exhibits. He also recommended other places to visit in Lincolnshire and Europe! It was a great evening - many thanks.

Delicious food and very generous portions. The fish and chips I should have shared. Great beer and Alex one of the bar staff able to advise re a hoppy one. Everyone welcoming whilst ensuring that the rigorous safety procedures are followed. A great pub, with tasty, locally sourced food, and a friendly team of staff.

Having visited the area to take in the WW2 association it only seemed right to stop here for food. The front sets the tone for what you hope is a clean,tidy country pub. The memorabilia inside is very good,lots to see and read, unfortunately that’s where the positives end.On arrival we told the lad behind the bar we had a table booked and although a bit early could we get a drink. That was ok and he advised us where our table was. The owner(???) appeared and on asking who we were to the bar staff was heard to comment “god,there a bit early”, a pleasant welcome. Drinks ordered at the table we went to sit outside. First table we sat at was rotten wood about to collapse. Very unsafe. The garden area is a mess.Food was average to say the least,for a pub who claim to have won CAMRA awards all I can say is the competition must be atrocious. The ale was so flat,the lager terrible too.As has been stated on previous posts recently the main reason we didn’t stop for sweet was Mr Grumpy. He was only interested in the young pretty girls who came in. As I joined a conversation with a young couple he obviously feeling his nose pushed out huffed and walked away.So disappointed, so much potential in this place but avoid at all costs unless your local,young and pretty.

The food is out of this world, amazing presentation and perfectly cooked, hats off to the chef. The pub has a fantastic amount of world war 2 memorabilia and is cosy on a winters day and has a great beer garden for a summers day. Just a massive shame that the front of house staff are unwelcoming and frankly to the point of being rude (all bar the young waitress), which ruins the whole experience. I've been twice now and it's been the same, so not a one off. I won't be going again but if I hear that the chef moves elsewhere I'll definitely go there!

I went here with my parents for lunch. When we arrived the barman was less than welcoming and a little arrogant to be honest. We were seated quickly and the pub is nice with plenty of artefacts and 617 memorabilia. I think the place markets itself as memorial pub type place and it fell short in my opinion. It had aldi sauces with a homemade printed dam busters sticker which is not an issue if done with some class. The waitress came to the table grumbling about her working conditions and threw the cutlery on the table. The food was OK to average. I had the ploughman's which was not good at all. The scampi was OK as was the sausage. Shame really the place has great potential that is not being realised by poor staff. Won't go back.

Visited yesterday after wanting too visit for months.Visited because of its connection with 617 squadron and have visited raf scampton a few times.Upon arrival was met by friendly staff asked to sign in due to covid.We was shown too our table which was next to the window at the rear of the property which put my wife off straightaway because of the flying and nats.We moved table that was cold due too the breeze coming through the doors asked staff if they could shut the door which the waitress was going to do when a very arrogant man called steve asked us too move table which we did.we ordered food which although a little overpriced was very nice even bomber enjoyed the chips which were left.Overall the service of the staff was fantastic the food was very good and the history of the place was Iamazing but the managers customer care was very poor he seemed put out with us being there no interaction unless you was a local or regular.Infact bomber was more pleased too see us.visit was ruined by the manager alone would go back but will making a phone call to see if steve is at work quests what if he is I will not be going.

Had a weekend off from filming and promotion work over here in UK . Nice quiet village, not like LA. Great meal. Fish was awesome. Wife loved it. I,LL BE BACK.

We popped in for a meal on a Saturday afternoon. It does get very busy so you are well advised to pre-book. A sparkling choice of food, my starter was the warm pork pie with mushy peas - it was delicious. Well recommended. My main course was the lasagne, again lovely food and a reasonable sized portion too. All this surrounded by RAF exhibits and photographs. Many of the faces of aircrew that look down on your table did not survive the war, they include Wing Commander Guy Gibson VC, DSO & Bar, DFC & Bar, of Dam Busters fame, sadly killed on 19th September 1944. A massive Lancaster wheel and tyre separates the bars and a roaring fire warms the cockles of your heart whilst you sample some of the fine ales that are served here. You are welcomed by charming staff and the black labrador 'Bomber' who is your best friend whilst you eat if you let him! A great experience and one that we will repeat once this dreadful virus is put to bed.

The pub is superb in all aspects service, and drink. And a wonderful atmosphere. Like a time capsule of the 1940s. And if you visit Buster will entertain you

Went as a large group no problem staff where great food spot on and what a great place in honour of Bomber Command and the Dambusters

Well worth a visit.We were a bit early but the landlord got us seated and the food was excellent. Service spot on and a cracking pint of Guinness. Landlord very friendly and gave us a little talk on some of the photos. Lots to see and we will certainly visit again

One if my favourite places, there’s always a welcome, good food and fascinating memorabilia. What’s not to like!

Yet again a score of 100%. My third visit this year. Pub is full of character and very atmospheric with happy smiling efficient staff, handsome portions of excellent quality pub food. Well worth the drive although parking not quite so easy - be prepared for a short walk.

Visited here for dinner on Saturday night, such a great interesting place full of memorabilia of the Dam busters and the men who did the raids. The staff were lovely and the food was good, the fish and chips was a huge portion. My husband had the pie and said it was so lovely and tasty. We couldn’t eat pudding but manage a glass or two of gin. We all had a fab evening made special by uniqueness of the pub. Great food fab staff and wonderful history- lovely we will be back

my wife and i dropped on a 1.5 hours training display by the red arrows at raf scampton and then called for lunch at the nearby dambusters inn. The place was busy but luckily we found a spare table. my wife had haddock and chips whilst i had the chilli with wild rice, both meals were good value and very tasty. The pub walls were festooned with interesting raf pictures and memorabilia all of which contributed to our visit.we thoroughly recommend the pub for a visit.

It's always nice to go to a nice pub in the UK, but this is a kind of a living monument where you can eat quality food and drink whatever you like, including the home made Dambusters Ale!

Great food, great ale, great service. This place was very welcoming, packed full of history and well worth the visit. The food was incredible (some of us thought perhaps a touch too much rock salt used on dishes if we are critiquing), fresh, served quickly and very good. Great ales, great selection of drinks and good to see it being dog friendly too. A proper local!

We received a very warm welcome as we visited Dambusters Inn. We came here because we wanted a dog friendly place near the International Bomber Command Center, which we visited earlier today.

A great pub and never had a bad meal . We go pretty regular , mainly Friday or sat night , loads of hand pull beers . Lots of wartime memorabilia

Lovely place with lots of photos and memorable. Sunday dinner one of the best we have had. Lovley warm fire, friendly staff.

What a fantastic place. Welcoming staff,fabulous menu interesting dambuster memorabilia everywhere.

We go here pretty regular on Friday nights , this was a night with my son and family and they loved the food and pub , child friendly and also the memorabilia around the pub was very interesting for the children . Great food and always a busy place , so book early

Such a Warm and Friendly Welcome on Saturday night from the Landlord, Manager and their staff. Great food and atmosphere!

We 1st dropped in for a drink and was so impressed we decided to book a table for the following evening. The food and service was excellent with a good range of beers. The owner has a personal interest with the Dambusters and the pub is covered in memorabilia. Well worth a visit.

Lovely pub serving traditional and hearty pub grub. Great atmosphere and fully booked on a Wednesday evening. Floor to ceiling with fantastic memorabilia of the Lancaster Bomber (which was based at the RAF station just down the road) and of course The DamBuster raids. Interesting to see and read whilst enjoying a lovely meal.

Dropped into the Dambusters for lunch and we were blown away with the way that this pub is packed full of memorabilia, photos and artefacts relating to the Dambusters squadron.

Scampton is situated a couple of miles from Lincoln city centre and is home to the world famous Red Arrows.

2nd time here now.. Really great beer and the fish and chips. They are huge pueces of fish that it needs to be on two plates.

Booked in advance for Sunday lunch and glad we did. Very busy, which having had lunch we are not surprised. Good food,good portions good atmosphere good value, what was there not to like. Booked because we could take our dog who was also made welcome. Will definitely return

An iconic pub full of charm and character. What a pity some of that charm and character hasnt rubbed off on the landlord who is arrogant beyond belief. Make sure hes on holiday before you pay a visit.

What a fantastic place to eat and drink staff so friendly and so much dambuster information didn't get to eat but the fish and chips look more like whale and chips will definitely be going back

the owner of the pub had relatives who served in bomber command and the pub contains memorabilia as a tribute to the men who served our country during the war especially the 133 crew members of the dambusters mission. It is very interesting and the food was fantastic and very reasonably priced.

I stopped here for lunch with a group of friends, having given notice we were coming. The pub itself is akin to a museum with a large collection of memorabilia relating to the Dambusters. It was somewhat spoiled by the landlord who hardly gave off an air of Gemütlichkeit, and seemed quite put out by our appearance. We hid in the beer gardens it was a nice day.

Really excellent Sunday Lunch - start serving at 12 noon. Booking really essential as very popular but not over crowded. Beautiful garden to sit in to eat or have a drink after meal. Landlord takes a real pride looking after it. Amazing place and one can spend lots of time reading all the memorabilia from World War 2. Often frequented by the Red Arrows pilots and blues when in this country.. Also do great bar meals and the desserts are out of this world. The Landlord also brews his own beer - Dambuster by name - to suit all tastes. One must go to the loos before leaving - can't speak for the mens but the ladies is unique - I even took a photograph of the decorated walls. Very clean throughout everywhere.

I’m sure there’s plenty of good things to say about this pub, unfortunately the landlord isn’t going to be one of them. Arrogant.

Amazing Pub with excellent food and service, complete with fascinating WW2 memorabilia - serving an outstanding Sunday Lunch.

The best Sunday Roast I have ever tasted! Followed by delicious, mouthwatering ice cream. 10/10 would come again.

If you like RAF memorabilia then this is a must visit. You cannot help but be impressed with the display. The welcome from the staff was friendly as was the landlord. The pub was very busy on a Friday evening but food service was good and nice to have simple pub food (Please don’t take it the wrong way). I had the homemade steak and ale with horseradish pie and it was great, judging by the empty plates in our group I think we all enjoyed our meal.

Im amazed so many people rate the hospitality in this pub, from the moment you walk in you're made to feel unwelcome by a manager that seems to hate his job and hate the customers even more.

The Dam Busters Inn has become an essential visit for my family and I during visits back home to Lincoln.

Apart from living in the area or needing refreshment whilst travelling through, the main reason to visit the Dambusters Inn is the renown 617 Squadron who were based at RAF Scampton during WW2. The Inn contains lots of interesting memorabilia related to the Dambusters—photos, medals, parts of Lancaster bombers, etc. They serve the usual pub grub in plentiful portions, and as a free house they offer a variety of guest ales and lagers, as well as their very own Dambusters Ale. I enjoyed a pint of that! The publican and staff are very friendly towards humans and dogs, and there is a nice garden out back. We’d certainly go back.

We went for a family meal here on a Sunday. We booked a table as we heard the pub got busy and we can now see why - fantastic food and atmosphere! We took two dogs with us and the pub was very accomodating. We would recommend the Sunday roast and the steak and ale pie! Homemade food of a very high standard. We also bought some of the dambusters cheese that they sell at the bar which was fantastic! Will defiantly come again.

Visited again with friends who love fish and chips. They were not disappointed. The fish was the size of a whale - well it was big! As always the welcome was warm and the service 1st Class.

The day before my wife and I had lunch at the Dambusters Inn I was sitting in the cockpit of a Lancaster bomber at the East Kirby Air Show. Unlike the original crews I was not about to take off for Berlin with a life expectancy of a fortnight.

Visited for the first time and not disappointed. The Landlord made us feel very welcome and accommodated us for a meal without a booking. The food was great and well priced. The Inn is just a haven for anyone interested in history, aviation or WW2. The memorabilia is just outstanding, seeing the signatures of brave pilots was a highlight. Will definitely visit again but will be sure to book next time.

I seem to be in the minority as far as reviews go for the Dambusters. I found the pub rather gloomy and the table we were seated at appeared to need a good scrub!

A group of us visited the other day without booking as we'd always fancied calling in.

Nice location, nice pub, nice food but barman/landlord seemed to be having an off day, well, certainly off with us anyway, other staff very friendly and food service was excellent, would go again.

Having heard about the Inn we decided to go for Sunday Lunch, excellent all round. Nice beer and friendly atmosphere, full of historic memorabilia.

A warm welcome from friendly staff set the tone for our lunch visit nicely. I’ve eaten here before but returned with a couple of our American Friends before visiting the International Bomber Command Centre in Lincoln. They loved the memorabilia on display throughout the pub but equally the lunch menu. Served quickly but with some lovely fresh ingredients, it left us all replete. Will be back for sure

We very much enjoyed our lunch time visit here with a warm welcome & good service.

A lovely surprise evening meal for four of us and the welcome from all the staff was excellent. All the walls are covered in memorabilia and what a wonderful tribute it all is. The star was Bomber the black Labrador. £90 for 4 inc drinks.

As you enter you aare struck by the memorabi;ia on the walls of the Dambusters, it is a living history lesson and the food is very good too. Best to order a sandwich if its your first visit as there is so much to see and read the food will go cold.

Went for an early evening drink here. Have been a few times before and it is a nice pub. Decided to order some chips as a snack. Felt like this was an inconvenience to the staff, we were then charged £6.50 for each portion of chips. When we queried this we were told it was for a large portion, it was not. Felt very unwelcome and that our custom was not appreciated. Will think twice before going back.

I visited today with my daughter and her boyfriend both are vegetarian. They loved the options available but opted for sandwiches as they weren't very hungry. I had the sausage and mash. We were all extremely happy with the food. It was delicious and we can't wait to go back again as they want to try the nut roast next time or vegetarian lasagne. The staff are so friendly and I wish I lived in the village to have this pub as my local. Love it here!

Tonight we went to this pub to celebrate what would have been my late farther’s birthday who recently passed. We had a table for 8 including 3 children. The staff were extremely nice and accommodating. We knew this wasn’t a pub set up to particularly cater for children but they was so nice and friendly giving us extra plates so they could share some of the dishes available.

My husband had been working around scampton and came across this pub ... very busy .. which is always a good sign that the place is worth a visit... so we decided to meet there for lunch once again very busy but staff were nice showed us to our table we ordered beef dinners which were a good plate full .. no messing service was quick and meals hot .. very nice .. husband had sweet which looked good to .. I declined full up from first coarse. Well worth the visit shall be returning soon ..all the staff were very friendly and it was nice to meet Darren too
