Went in on spec on a busy weekday morning. There were plenty of people in the place but as we approached an empty table to see what the notice on it said, a thoroughly unpleasant and unwelcoming young member of staff snarled 'it's reserved, there's room upstairs'. I commented 'wow, what a welcome'. We duly went upstairs and when mentioned to the same member of staff that we were ready to order she snipped back 'there are two more people to take orders from before you'. We duly left. What an ungracious, unsophisticated young woman. To behave like that at work, presumably with her employer's blessing, beggars belief. No care, no flair, no manners, no panache. There are plenty other wonderful places to have a coffee in Stamford, we will patronise them from now on. In mentioning our experience to a neighbour locally she commented she'd experienced similar. What a shambles Fika, come on managers and get this all changed round.

Lovely Fika moment! Had the Fika Fry which was delicious - nice coffee and amenable staff too. Would recommend for a cosy café that does lovely food if you’re in Stamford!

Wanted to try FIKA for brunch for 4 people. After waiting in a queue, we were told by an unsmiling member of staff that they had no room for a large party (4 people!) today. We found her rude and unwelcoming and felt that we were inconveniencing her by being there. We will not be back!

A truly delicious brunch, what a fabulous menu, can’t wait to return and try more. Service was quick and friendly, a real delight and different to the normal boring offerings.

Lovely little cafe with a small but perfect selection on offer. Nothing mundane here… a beautifully crafted menu that we will keep returning to My only question is … why no cash? I understood during Covid but let’s keep cash going guys!

Insane food and coffee, amazing service (with a smile) and the loveliest atmosphere. Without a doubt, the best cafe in the area 🤤

Why is there no listing for FiKA cafe at Woolfox (Golf Club) on A1 north of Stamford ? Much bigger than Stamford High St but the same food and ambience. A good eat both visits with trendy young staff and same menu it seems. We have been x 2 visits now as parking is sooo much easier than Stamford town. Only downside is that its absolutely bloomin NOISY- from the drinks mix machine & serving clatter to the regular customer chatter bouncing off the (minimalist and very on-trend) bare walls/bare floors/bare furniture.

Sadly The George doesn't live up to it's reputation these days. We recently ate in the Oak Pannelled Dining room, we had to pour our own wine as the waiting staff seemed oblivious to empty glasses. The roast beef was delicious and the accompanying vegetables tasty. Sadly the cherry chocolate roulade tasted as if it had been bought in (mass produced) & lacked the sour cherry tang and the chocolate was disappointingly insipid. The cheese souffle we had to start was ok, rather overpowered by the mustard sauce. We had to request the biscuits to accompany our coffee. The Christmas decorations were not as opulent as previous years. The waiting team were all pleasant but seemed inexperienced and unable to deliver a high quality service. The bill was not insignificant and did not match the experience. Shame really, because the building is impressive and there is a huge opportunity to enhance the ambience and without doubt the service needs to be elevated. This being said we will most probably revisit in the summer as the outside courtyard is lovely.

The King's Head is good at any time of year. The Christmas singalong is just plain stellar. There are always really unusual guest ales, and even beers brewed especially for the pub. Friendly staff complete the offering. Stamford is full of pubs. The King's Head is some thing special, small but perfectly formed.
