Gooch's coffee shop and restaurant in South Kesteven

We visited Stamford to break for lunch on our way north. We chose Gooch’s so we could sit outside in the sunshine. There were lots of tables with people with dogs, and they were welcomed and well catered for too. We chose a panini with Stilton, poached pear and walnut, which came with a salad of leaves, cherry tomato, cucumber, fig and pomegranate, plus home-made coleslaw. Also a ham off the bone baguette, again with salad and coleslaw. Both choices were nicely presented and fresh. Washed down with a beer and a glass of wine it was a joy - as was our waitress. She was friendly, polite, efficient and is a decided asset to the establishment. I asked her name - Joy. When I answered by saying she was a joy as our waitress my feelings were echoed but other tables. She is a credit to the restaurant, which is itself a joy. We are returning home via Stamford and will lunch there again. Thoroughly recommended!

We popped in for a drink and a snack during our visit to Stamford. Upon entering we were immediately greeted by a member of staff who offered us a choice of tables. We were given menus and informed that we could order at the counter. The menu has a good variety of options. The food was freshly prepared and extremely tasty. The most impressive part of our visit though was the staff. Each one was polite and friendly. The service they offered was exceptional. A lot of other places I have visited could certianly learn from these staff members. If the owners read this review, your staff do you proud. They should all be congratulated.

First time visitors, having gone to Stamford for the day. Numerous eateries to be found but we were attracted by the outdoor terrace on a nice summers day. Plenty of choice on the menu, and we settled for a prawn baguette, and the hand cut ham sandwich. The food was very tasty, but what impressed us the most was the service. Although quite busy the three female staff serving outside were excellent. They were all really engaging with customers and so friendly and helpful. Please pass on ur thanks to them all.

Been to Gooch's many times, but rather disappointed at our recent visit. The food was good, but the banana milkshake (priced at £5.95) was made from shake powder instead of fresh bananas. It tasted very artificial, as you'd expect. Had this been an item on a kid's menu in a cheap greasy spoon for £1.50 then maybe milkshake powder would be expected. This was just shy of £6 and no fresh ingredients, that's taking the Mick! Our last visit.

Friend had a drink in and I had takeaway tea but the cup was poor and I now have tea I. Several places on a white dress - hoping dress not ruined. Couldn’t drink after first few sips as worried about more spills.

Had a lovely lunch at Gooch’s which we found by chance when we stopped in Stamford. Was really impressed by the number of gluten free options and the prawn roll was the best gf I’ve had. Staff were friendly and helpful and the restaurant is spotless. Would definitely recommend to anyone- especially coeliacs!!

Absolutely incredible prawns ! And insane steak ciabatta with Stilton sauce ! Fantastic staff and lovely vibes .situated in a picturesque part of historical Stamford . Simply the best place for breakfast , lunch , early dinner , for a coffee or enjoy an alcoholic beverage on the lovely terrace .

We visited Stamford to meet some friends and visited Gooch's for lunch as it is Dog friendly. As we had our dog with us it's sometimes difficult to find Dog friendly places. It's ok in the Summer as most places accept Dogs outside , but in the Cold Winter you want to be able to go inside in the warm. This was a big plus for us being Dog friendly and the doggy part is downstairs and backs onto the outside which is great if your Dog needs to go to the toilet. If you didn't want to be near dogs you can sit upstairs so it suits a variety of people , dog friendly or not. We ordered our food which consisted of 2 panini's , one with Southern fried chicken and the other with stilton , poached pear & walnut. We also ordered a large peroni and a deluxe hot chocolate. The staff were friendly and our drinks were bought to us in about 10 minutes. Wow... I couldn't believe my hot chocolate. It was like a meal in itself. It was huge , with whipped cream , marshmallows , gingerbread crumb and chocolate sauce. I can honestly say it was the best hot chocolate I've ever had. Our panini's arrived shortly after. Both our panini's were lovely and came with a small fancy side salad and a pot of coleslaw. My panini of stilton , poached pear & walnut was delicious. It is however a bit on the pricey side as my deluxe hot chocolate, a large peroni and 2 panini's came to nearly £36. It was worth paying though as we don't go often and was a lovely treat. We would highly recommend this place and definitely great if you take your dog.

My wife and I dropped in today . We usually visit about once a month . We went outside as usual and ordered 2 coffees and a panini ( I wasn't hungry ). The bill total was £20.95 , which is either acceptable to you or not , your choice , but the prices are on the menu , so buy or don't buy , it's up to you . The drinks came in about 5 minutes or so and ( apart from a good amount of my coffee being in the saucer when it arrived ) were as usual satisfactory . The food didn't appear until after I enquired as to it's whereabouts ( we did notice that a couple of tables that ordered after us had already been served ). Some 20 minutes after the initial ordering , the panini arrived ( and very nice it looked too ) , but the drinks by this time had both been consumed . So I sat , waited and watched while my wife eat her panini before we left . I know they were quite busy , but that really shouldn't be our problem should it ? I think we may have a look around for another place next time we are in town .

Called in for a coffee. Ended up having a cocktail each. Espresso for hubby. Limoncello and ice cream and Prosecco for me. Had a baguette for lunch. Everything top notch. Would certainly recommend this lovely spot. Prices very reasonable. We sat at the outside patio. If you are in Stamford for a visit call in. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

How amazing is Gooch’s, we had the venue for an evening for a girly get together. All the staff were excellent but Chelsea was outstanding she couldn’t do enough to accommodate us. The food was delicious and the GF’s were well catered for the table was covered in an abundance of really yummy food, nobody left hungry . The drinks menu was so good with a range of cocktails biggest dilemma of the evening was which one to have next. Lovely well decorated venue with an amazing view of Stamford meadows, and so clean.

We requested the staff if we could sit outside under the umbrella -we were told there were no tables with umbrella available . A few minutes later a couple entered and requested if they could sit outside under the umbrella. The staff took an umbrella out of storage & placed it outside for the couple. Do the staff discriminate some clients or they just couldn’t be bothered and unhelpful. The service was very slow unfortunately. The food was ok .

Really lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was tasty and really decently priced. Highly recommend, you can have something light if you’re not very hungry or a bigger meal if you are!

Perfect outdoor spot for a morning coffee with our very young puppy. Overlooking the meadows and catching the morning sunshine. Oh, and the coffee is great too!

Food was amazing we all loved our lunch along with a jug of pimms staff was also amazing great atmosphere definitely going back

The best, crispiest, most delicious jacket potato I have ever had! If you like your skins crispy, this is the place for you. Coupled with lovely staff and awesome Nutella milkshake…. What’s not to love?

My wife and I found this lovely place overlooking the park and the river whilst walking around the town. It has a lovely area at the back which is a great sun trap. You might not notice this from the front because of the olde world shop front. We only wanted a coffee and cake but all the other food coming out looked lovely and our home made cakes were delicious. The staff were great too as we could not get a table straight away and after getting a take away they offered to plate it up as we found a table afterwards. We will be back for a breakfast or brunch next time!

We booked a table for 12, in advance, for our photography group. All food and drinks were individually ordered at the till. Drinks were served quickly and we had a little time to look at our photos before all the amazing food was served to us all. We were not put under any pressure to leave when we had finished. We had a great experience and we all said we would come back again. Thanks girls.

This is our second visit to Goochs…another successful lunch! Lovely friendly efficient service. The ladies were really busy, but always service with a smile. In fact, a lot of cafes could learn from this great team. Well done..and hope to see you again!

Tucked away from the main shopping area, we found this place while visiting Stanford today. What a lovely find. Staff very welcoming, table found quickly, order made at till and didn't have to wait long, before we were eating. We arrived around 1.00pm time and it wasn't long before the place filled up. I had a tuna,sweetcorn and mayo sandwich and my husband had a prawn baguette. Both came with a little pot of salad and a small dish of coleslaw with a pot of tea for approximately £18.50. I really liked it here. It was warm, clean,friendly with a good service.

Splendid spot for a breakfast. Spacious seating on several levels. Lower level looks out to river. Very attentive polite service. Spotless tables. Good selection. Cooked breakfast wonderful. Poached eggs on toast perfectly cooked. Checked in on after service. Very happy with our decision to get Sunday breakfast here. Tasty coffee and delicious food.

By far the best hot chocolate and Christmas display in town!! Staff are lovely and welcoming. Dogs welcome and well catered for too 🎄💖.

Dull and generic, overlooking a car park. Frankly, you'd be better off getting a sandwich from the local shop and eating it on the meadow. Everything clearly out of a packet and overpriced.

Stopped here for lunch. Friendly attentive staff, nothing to much trouble, happy to chat even though they were busy. Food was excellent and clearly all made on site. The beer was freezing cold which is always a bonus. Definitely check it out if you are...

Excellent panini served on the terrace behind the building on a busy Friday lunchtime. We were given a table almost instantly and service was efficient, quick and friendly. We were impressed enough to want to return when lockdown is over.

Had lunch steak ciabatta fries and a Stilton sauce which was superb whole meal really excellent quality

My friend and I Visited Goochs for a late lunch on a busy Friday, we were lucky to be seated straight away (to a sanitised table and seats) on the lovely veranda. Great choices on the menu, then I spotted my dish on the specials board... it was made for me I think! I ordered the steak ciabatta with caramelised onions and mushrooms, served with French fries and Stilton sauce....Everything about this dish was simply incredible! it was presented well and I knew I was in for a treat when it arrived! The ciabatta bread was amazing, generously filled with tender steak and delicious veg. French fries were crisp and golden.Now for the best bit... The Sauce...!!! WOW !!!myself and my friend (who swiftly pinched several chips to dunk) were blown away with the sauce. Rich, silky, mouth watering good! Packed full of flavour, stunning! I finished the pot with my fork as there’s no way I was wasting any of that liquid paradise! And all this goodness was mine for just £12.95!! Everything about our visit was fab! Efficient, attentive staff, Reasonable prices for top notch Quality food and service! Couldn’t recommend more!

We visited today in glorious sunshine and had a really pleasant visit.The organisation under these difficult times was very well executed and the food was very good, but what made this establishment stand out from the crowd was the human factors. A slight mistake was made with our drinks order, and the young waitress was really apologetic, but it was a truly natural apology, the type that does not need instilling into hospitality colleagues. We were greeted warmly, there was also a casual meal check, and we were asked if we needed anything else. Simple really. Whilst all this sounds like run of the mill stuff, there are too many places who get the basics wrong, often so very wrong. Well done Gooch’s, your team were a credit to you today. Good customer service should be embraced, not endured. Five stars from us.

Visited Gooch's today for coffee and and had great service and great cakes. It has been organised really well and in a great position for the sunshine. No complaints, thank you to all the staff.

As the waitress delivered the coffees she told us that she had spilled them. This was evident from the photo provided. Drinking from a saucer is more difficult that it sounds. I had a soggy biscuit

My new favourite place in Stamford when having breakfast. The girls are always lovely and efficient, we love it here!

We stopped here for a coffee and lunch. We were treated by very nice, friendly staff and were quickly shown to a table. The food and drinks were very nice and reasonably priced. Our order came promptly and was delicious. Would definitely recommend and will go again xx

Went in for coffee and cake yesterday morning, and went up to order. We forgot to put our masks on, due to new COVID regulations, even though the new regulations state that it MUST be table service only, and then two of us went up from the same table and we were told only one was allowed. We were not told this when we entered, nor were we told we were required to wear masks to move around the cafe. The coffee was perfectly nice but they were not following the COVID regulations

What a lovey afternoon spent in their patio area overlooking the meadows. Great food and even better service 😍 Thank you 😘

Brunch ok service fine. Shame our day was spoilt by the mean spirited proprietor when we I called in for a loo stop on our way home to Cambridge. After using the loo I was accosted by the proprietor who said I was not allowed to use the loo as I was not eating. I explained that my husband and I had eaten and spent plenty of money earlier and we always visit the cafe when visiting Stamford but unfortunately she was not willing to listen. My husband and I have decided that we will never eat at this establishment ever again. Where is the good will!

Popped in ti Stamford on the last day of our holidays to look at the market. Thought as we were early we would find a little cafe for breakfast. Oh my what a find!! Served very quickly, staff couldn't do enough. Very good quality ingredients especially the sausages. Would definitely be back and I highly recommend, if ur in Stamford you pay this place a visit

Girlie breakfast this morning we made our order ,waited 40-45, minutes for it to all come at different times ,after ate the food had some toast and after eating half realised it was mouldy,Told them offered new piece but was put off offered a coffee ,but just wanted to get out felt sorry for the young waitress as she was sent out to apologise, but surprised manger come out.Won't be going there again ,Nice staff food bland

I came to Stamford with my family and friends, two out of four breakfasts came out 45 minutes after we had ordered then the other two followed 10 minutes after. Half way through my breakfast we discovered the bread was mouldy!! After that I could not even eat the rest of my breakfast, food was also very bland. Would not recommend, service was slow, food came separately, over priced and out of date food. Complained about the bread being mouldy, feel for the young girl that was sent out to offer us replacement bread, manager did not even bother to come out to apologise at the very least.

Lovely coffee in a very clean cafe. All the staff were really friendly and helpful. Covid rules and deep cleaning were adhered to.

What a great place , food staff was fabulous and the viewS looking over the meadows was stunning definitely coming back and so child friendly thanks to all at Gooch’s

This restaurant/cafe is brilliant, the food is great the customer service is great the ratings are 10/10 definitely the best cafe in Stamford Lincolnshire. The cafe is always nice and tidy, the staff are great nice and polite definitely recommended

Fantastic service and beautifully served food at a great price x poached eggs were beautiful and lovely view on the patio whilst dining highly recommend goochs cafe stamford x

Very nice coffee shop. We only had drinks but the staff were good and the tea and flat white that we had were very good.

Love coming here before work, the food is absolutely amazing and so tasty. Presentation wise its fabulous. I would so recommend coming here. Only downside is paying cash but its all worth it.

Stopped here to enjoy coffee in their sun bathed room. Got table service, freshly made snacks and lunches. Still accept cheques but not cards!

Stopped off for something to eat, had a nice english breakfast. The food was good hot and filling, service was great, I would definitely go again!

Lovely staff and great value traditional food. The jacket potatoes and filling very good as well as the cakes

Good central location, close to the car park. Friendly and welcoming. Here for lunch and had a meal from the breakfast options. Good large portions. Very clean cafe. Super comfortable chairs. Recommended.

I called in for a takeaway bacon sarnie and a coffee - generous portion of bacon on some delicious multi-grain bread - great coffee too

We had just arrived in Stamford, which is a town we knew well and loved from our childhoods so over 50 years plus and decided to try here for a quick lunch and drink. The choice was quite good but we all went for a prawn sandwich which was delicious. I had wanted a glass of dry wine but they only do a medium so I had a lager instead. We were lucky enough for the weather to be good so we sat outside. Good place for a lunch.

We have always called for a coffee and a sandwich when visiting Stamford. Today will probably the last, ordered two decaf flat white - cost £2.95 each when a normal decaf white coffee cost £2.25 - how can the £0,70 increase be justified. Quality of coffee not great. Found better independent coffee house in town for less money

We visited on a Friday lunchtime while the Burleigh Horse Trials were taking place. The whole area was busy and the restaurant was no different. We were lucky to get a table and a friendly and efficient waitress cleared a little debris left by the previous occupants and brought us tea for two while we checked out the menu. When she said how busy the horse trials made Stamford, I asked her if any of the horses were found guilty. Wooosh, straight over her head. My future as a stand up comedian is now in serious doubt.I ordered locally made Steak and Ale Pie with Chips and Peas. The pie was packed with meat encased in some excellent pastry, the chips were fresh from the range and some of the tastiest I have ever had. Simple homely food well cooked and presented.My wife ordered a Prawn Salad, which looked amazing and she said tasted as good as it looked. a big pile of prawns accompanied by a great mixed salad served with a small pot of coleslaw and another of cottage cheese. We voted both meals a big hit. The only minor issue was that cube sugar is kept on the table in a small jar without any tongs to pick up the cubes. I suspect that other people’s fingers had been in the jar and I think the restaurant could consider a different method of providing sugar for their patrons purely from a hygiene point of view.

Nice outside seating BUT v overpriced. Open prawn sandwich ‘special’ - £7 for small prawns on single piece of processed bread with few bits salad.

Had breakfast here but was only average. The poached eggs were very nice but the sausage was tasteless. The service was slow but it was busy. Next time we visit Melton Mowbray we will try to find a better place for breakfast

Visited Stamford on a Sunday and went here for coffee and cakes. Great service, friendly girls! Delicious coffee and scone with jam was lovely!

Other foods are available...all have been lovely...that’s why we keep coming back ! I get fed up of places doing a breakfast up to certain times, it drives me mad when you find out you have just missed it and they are doing “lunchtime menu “ from now.

We came here on 3rd august for breakfast as we always do when we come to Stamford as we love this place we sat at the top of the restraint and was enjoying our food until a man starting to scream at the staff I’ve never seen anything like it the manager come out to speak to the man calmly as he raised his voice and starting screaming at the young girl behind the till he snatched a menu out of her hand and was waving it in her face shouting about them not taking card the young girl calmly apologised about this and directed him to the cash point but he got worse the girl said how rude he was being under her breathe and he ran back over to the counter waving his wallet in her face threatening her to publish it in the press the girl never did anything wrong he then left with his wife after both of then where verbally attacking her the poor waitress look completely shaken up he then returned from the cash point and as she was serving he through the money at her shouting at her more and she replied I honestly don’t believe how rude you are both being to me he then went outside the building to take photos leave a bad review this place is friendly welcoming and enjoyable and I don’t believe how well the girl handled it it was upsetting to see an older man attack another person the way he did he wants to be ashamed of him self well done staff at goochs for keeping calm we will be back

Love coming here with my family such a welcoming friendly place staff are lovely can’t do enough for you beautiful out side seating area on a hot day highly recommended

Sat outside for a drink and umbrella from nest table flew out and hit me. (nobody at table) when reported to waitress who brought our drinks she said there shouldn't be an umbrella there. No sorry are you OK, nothing

If you ever need a snack or lunch when visiting Stamford then I recommend Gooch's tea room. Fantastic lunches and quick service from lovely staff. See you again soon x

We stopped for a spell to let the dog stretch it's legs in the park and stayed for a while on the tea shop terrace. Quiet place, quick service and a small selection of cakes. Fine for a quick pause but seems to place more emphasis on the alcohol available. Could be a tea shop, could be a bar... Who knows.?

Found this place by accident. Very glad we did. One of the best cream teas I have had in a long time. Can certainly recommend a visit.

We came off the A1(M) and went into Stamford for lunch and came across this place. Lovely little cafe, good food and as it was a nice day, it was lovely to sit outside

Fab place for lunch. Lovely people, nice food. Very friendly an fab fab. Definition coming again. Weather awful

Went on recommendation from a mate saying the milkshakes are amazing! He was definitely right. They offer a light lunch or bigger got meals. Had the prawn in sauce baguette and it was fabulous. Definitely worth a visit, we will be back!

Absolutely stunning baguettes, really impressed with the quality and size of them! lovely quick service, all round friendly place with really nice food. Looks like You have a new regular !

We visited after being out walking and were pleasantly surprised with the variety of hot meals available. Hearty pies, fish, and who can go wrong with home cooked ham egg and chips! Lots of jacket potatoes, sandwiches and cakes too. All very reasonably priced. I imagine it is popular in the summer as the back looks over The Meadows and there is plenty of outside area for eating.

We called with our two girls and dog after a lovely walk from Burghly. Quick friendly service, great food and they even bought water for the dog and lollies for the girls without prompting. Will definitely be returning!

We came to Stamford to meet up with some friends before Xmas. We saw Gooch,s and thought it looked nice ,so decided to go in for lunch. We ordered 2 jacket potatoes, and 3 baguettes and some drinks. Service was quick and food arrived quickly. Jacket potatoes were only Luke warm, baguettes were ok. When we went to pay the bill ,I thought for what we had was very pricey. Also they do not except cards, only cash!! Who these days carries cash on them and what sort of place in this day and age doesn't except cards. Very dissapointing ☹️

They have a good choice of lovely homemade cakes. And have just had a complete refurbishment which looks great. Nice friendly staff prices are standard high street prices but I would rather pick up a take away from here than a cafe chsin.

First visit to Gooch's, sat on terrace, lovely sunny day so it was a delight. Enjoyed our coffee and snack of Cheese on Toast, generous topping and very tasty. Big downside for us was no disabled access. Despite the terrace overlooking several Disabled Parking Bay the terrace and coffee shop are inaccessible to wheelchairs and there are no ramps available. It surely wouldn't be too difficult to organise some ramps, especially on the terrace where there are only a few deep steps.

Went here a few times whilst staying in Stamford, staff always pleasant and food good. Wide selection for lunch, nice view of park and seating outside.

Sat on the terrace in the sunshine today and had a very nice lunch. Haven’t been to Stamford or this restaurant before but loved both. Gooch’s has very friendly staff and lovely food, prepared and presented beautifully. Really good value too for such good quality.

As ever, when we're in Stamford we always call in for at least a coffee... This visit was a little short but with reasonable weather we sat on the patio area at the back of the building. Service as ever was second to none and the coffee is always excellent. Looking forward to my next visit already...
