Homestead in North Kesteven

Just had a great Sunday lunch here. Home cooked and tasty. Thanks to Lynn for squeezing us in. Great service and friendly. KP

Really nice place on outskirts of Lincoln, lovely setting and great food, recommended.

Excellent meal and service from Millie

Lovely food, great staff and amazing time sorry for the loud women, we will be quiet next time

Not enough bar staff. Come on Greene King. Sort it out. The staff are run off their feet every day. You can stand at the bar for ages before anyone even appears. Great place. Let down by not enough staff! JUST TO REITERATE the point!

Have been before and food was good but 4 of us went today just after 2pm and the food was awful unfortunately. Over cooked frozen diced carrot and swede, hard potatoes and difficult to eat yorkshires and meet. It seemed like it had been hanging around and warmed up. Such a shame, normally better than this.

Really nice food and what a beautiful place to say its on site of the old asylum. A very warm welcoming and lovely service from Lynn who served us the whole way through and even knew knowledge of the place. Will deffonantly back again thanks Lynn for looking after us and your knowledge.

Lovely food at a reasonable price, it was a little quiet when we went there which probably hence the excellent service. Food was really good and hot and obviously freshly prepared.

Amazing time at the homestead yet again! Lynn was great & it was nice to be able to walk to & from the pub.

Staff make the experience a friendly visit

Good fast gammon and chips.friendly staff.

Great dinner with friends and family

Delicious food, great atmosphere and service although a smile or appreciation of tip would have been polite from the female server.

Great service from our waitress Lynn, lovely food, great atmosphere

Staff were friendly and polite. Took orders quickly. Food arrived got. Yorkshire was dry and been was a bit hard

Thanks Lynn for your hospitality tonight . Lovely meal and lovely Prosecco ! Will visit again soon Rachelle x

Wonderful meal, Excellent service Lynn couldn't have been more helpful. Thank you for making it a wonderful Birthday experience for my husband and daughter.

Lovely food! Very well priced and our server Lynn was an absolute star!!xx

Lovely venue. Staff and service was excellent, very warm and welcoming

Rubbish menu. Rubbish food. I had a Rubbish birthday meal

Nice roomy venue, perfect for groups as well as individuals. With lovely friendly service

It was early morning, I and my husband went for a breakfast. The food was simple but so fresh and delicious! The porcions was big. Service was very welcoming and friendly. Atmosphere was amazing! Brilliant pub! We will definitely come again.

Lovely food, good menu range, staff great, room decor lovely.

Ordered roast beef dinner. Have had more beef in a sandwich! 3 small roast potatoes. Teaspoon of veg. Not worth the money. Both partner and I had severe upset stomach after eating. Will not return.

I had a lovely cod n chips here today, highly recommend. Very attentive service by the staff 👍

Cumbland Sausage and mash was a good size and hot, the duo of chicken was bigger than we expected and filling. Lynn our server was very nice, helpful and know how to make you welcome.

We had a lovely family evening meal at the Homestead. Lynn was particularly accommodating to our needs and made us feel well looked after whilst we were there. Great service from Lynn, thank you.

Excellent service from our waitress Abi. The food was very goodi and generaous too. The whole was a great experience.

We went to the Homestaed in Bracebridge Heath for a spot of lunch and a drink. The place had just advertised a new menu, so we thought we'd give it a try. Not impressed sums it up nicely. We ordered a great British cheese toastie, which came with a handful of chips & some chuckney & a salmon & mature cheese fishcake with a poached egg on the top. We also ordered a glass of Chardonnay and a bitter shandy. First of all the Chardonnay wasn't very nice & when my wife queried it, she was not offered an alternative. When the food came, the poached egg was like a boiled egg and the toastie came minus the blue cheese as they were out of it! Also, there was only one small sandwich whereas the Chef & Brewer web site clearly shows two. When the waitress asked if our food was OK, we said not really. Wee were not offered a reduction in the bill, which ended up ove £32. We won't be going bak there again in a hurry

We were 7 altogether in the party. We had booked elsewhere but had been let down so turned up with no booking, 7pm ish on a Sunday evening. We were made to feel so welcome and looked after. Offered a 'limited' menu which seemed far from limited. Had a brilliant time, food good, service impeccable., cannot thank them enough. Abi looked after us so well, nothing was too much trouble. We'll be back!!

A great improvement, the last meal was a little bland, however on the visit despite a reduced menu we had two large lovely meals and were nicely looked after by Abi... Brilliant!

Great all round evening. Two course diner (Hake was great) for three of use, glass of wine. Friendly welcome and service. Will definitely be going again.

Excellent food for the money, swift and friendly service. Lynn was very hospitable, highly recommend!

Food was good, service and staff excellent especially Abbi. Thank you

Lovely pub, great service from James and the whole team. Food was very tasty and the whole place was extremely clean

Good food, well priced and very patient staff with our 1 year old. We have been here several times and every time it is a good experience. Lynn was fab! Thanks

Attentive and helpful excellent meal much enjoyed

Stopped in with no booking and was very welcomed by all staff. Our server Lynn was fantastic, very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent and we will Definitely be going there again!

Great food and excellent service, highly recommended. My daughter and I loved the salted caramel sundae's

We had a lovely time at the Homestead for Sunday lunch! The building (an old doctors house from the asylum as our lovely server Lynn told us) is beautiful and the food was excellent and big portions for the price! Thank you to Lynn for making us feel welcome!

We have had a few meals at the Homestead now. The food has been excellent. The latest time we were served by Abi and Venetia , the service was first class. Definitely recommend. The lamb shank shepherds pie was out of this world.

Great Sunday lunch. We had an excellent waitress called Lynn who looked after our table very well. It was a very hot day but Lynn worked tirelessly. Thank you Lynn.

Had a great sunday lunch here. Great service and decent prices for what was offered. Only slight niggle is they had a couple of menu items that weren't available. Other than that, food and service was great.

Wonderful staff, but food let them down. Edible but obviously not top notch for the money paid. Beautiful building and ample parking.

First time eating here and what a fabulous experience. Abigail was so polite and professional, great service. Will definitely come again

Had a lovely meal and service at The Homestead. Emma and Venetia looked after us very well and the food came quickly and was delicious 😋

Great food - my partner had a steak and my mushroom and ale pie was insane! Very tasty and we were left stuffed! Our server Lynn was also fantastic. The place is lovely, we visited on a quiet Monday evening, so we were one of the few people in there. We would highly recommend 🙂

Served by Lynn. Service and food were both great. Quick, hot, tasty and the food was good too.

Lovely place with a welcoming atmosphere, went for my dads birthday with my two boys. The staff were excellent especially our waiter James who was friendly and chatty and was brilliant with my youngest who was chatting away with him. Food was well priced and tasty, first time i have been back since refurb and would definitely return.

The food here is very good indeed, we had burgers and pork belly and there isn't much to say save for the fact that the food was delicious, the service from Lynn was first class and the bill was also very palatable. We tend to go every few weeks and have never been disappointed. A+++

Friendly and helpful staff and good food. Chicken, leek and cheese pie was delicious.

I stopped by here for dinner on a Monday as I was in town on work related business. It was quite quiet as it was only 5pm. Lots felt comfortable seating, great menu options. I went for the signature burger and it was one of the nicest burgers I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommended! Very friendly and efficient service by Emma! Thank you. I hope to return in the future! FYI Google maps pins the location further down the road than it actually is. A little tricky if you’re new to the area.

Lovely waitress and very good food and excellent value and well cooked . Look forward to visiting again in the near future

We held the reception for our sons funeral here. We ordered from the buffet menu. We had no complaints at all. The venue was lovely and the food was really good. The staff worked hard to ensure that all of our needs were met. We were all fed and watered without any fuss. It made a very sad occasion into a welcoming and warm occasion. I would recommend the Homestead for future events and occasions should the need arise.

Lovely spacious place,parking & beer garden too , lovely staff..highly recommend.

Really lovely place, food was very good. Service great especially Lynn! Thankyou

As far as food concerned awful,

Enjoyed a lovely meal with friends. Lynn looked after us 😀

We were greeted and served by Emma who looked after us brilliantly. We both decided to have the Asparagus with poached egg and hollandaise sauce for starter and the pork loin for mains, both of which were off the chefs special menu. Both the starters and main meal were lovely and full of flavour, all plates were cleared. We did not have a desert as we were both suitably replete. Thanks Homestead team and especially Emma for your great food and service.

Another great experience, food and service really good.

Perfect, very delicious food. Very good service although we had to wait 15 mins for our drinks. Our starters came out before our drinks arrived. Nice decor and pleasant interior of the pub. Unfortunate that where we were seated we were adjacent to a table where a woman never stopped talking in a really loud penetrating voice. Just the bad luck of the draw but she did rather spoil our overall experience.

Really good meal and service, thoroughly recommend it

Yes they let us in at the last minute but the only thing on my Sunday dinner was nice was the turkey and Yorkshire pudding the veg looked like the bits that u put in the bin and the chicken on the duo left something to be desired and not sure wat the lettuce was or the ribbon veg and the barbecue sauce was very undesirable the sirloin beef was like rubber and the roast potatoes had chips hidden in them so thanks but no thanks waste of money

Always have a lovely meal, never disappointed quality, quantity and service is always spot on. Lynn made sure we were well looked after. We will be back.. definitely would recommend 👌

Nice decor and very clean, but hardly anyone there on a Friday night so atmosphere not great. Main courses average, but desserts scrumptious, and drinks were lovely, especially the cocktails. 2 drinks, main course and pudding approx £35pp.

Lovely service, wonderful place to come and have dinner with family.

Food was very good and waitress - Lynn - was a star.

Unfortunately, my experience at Homestead Pub was disappointing. Despite arriving at 10 am with seven friends on a Sunday, we were left waiting for quite some time before being approached by a lady who informed us that without a reservation, we couldn't have a table, even though the pub was fairly empty. When we asked if we could at least have a drink, she denied our request, citing that she was the only one there. She did try and direct us to another pub. But i found the entire encounter strange and it left us feeling unwelcome. It's a shame because we were eager to try the food and drinks at Homestead Pub but were unable to do so.

A really lovely lunch, as always, thank you. We frequently visit this pub due to the family friendly, relaxed atmosphere and the extensive children's menu. We had Jamie this afternoon, he was the perfect level of attentive, lovely with the children and helped make our visit wonderful - thank you Jamie. I know you said you were new to the position, but you really wouldn't have known. Looking forward to returning soon.

Superb meal again. Despite a busy Saturday, food was hot and we weren’t left waiting! It was our server Jamie’s first day and he was fantastic and really good with our little one.

It's been a little while since we last visited but it's been a pleasure to have a meal here once again. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that there is now a specifically printed gluten free menu unlike our last visit which far more convenient than browsing through the clunky allergy tablet for information. The service was top notch from all the staff we spoke to especially Lynn who served us most of the evening who was a pleasure to talk to. As always the food whilst slightly on the more expensive side was absolutely delicious, well presented and served quickly. If I had any criticism it's that the main menus do not list drink prices for most drinks but thankfully the prices were pretty close to our estimates so there were no unpleasant surprises.

Large clean and warm pub with nice staff, but the food was very average, not a match on yesterday's C&B in Northampton! Over cooked crunchy chips, under cooked apple tart and a Bakewell tart that was cold in the middle!!

Hadnt been for a few years as last time I felt it overpriced for what it was. But pleasantly surprised, their lunchtime light bites were good, I had a fishfingers ciabata with chips and salad and it was great.

We walked in at 5pm and were asked if we had booked a table. The place was empty. We said had not booked and could we have a table for 2 and we're told quite rudely that they were not accepting walk ins. We went out to the car and managed to book a table at 5.30pm for that day so why would they not accept a walk in?

Food was mediocre. Quality not good. Staff were lovely.

Went with friends for Sunday dinner, unfortunately we’ve had better,

Very lovely venue with lots of parking. Menu was really varied and i had Korean Chicken and a glass of white wine. Thank you Emma and Pete for the fantastic service. Ill be back again.

A great clean and friendly pub with a calm atmosphere. Had a two course evening meal, the food and service were both excellent.

My partner and I went out for the valentines for their three course deal for 26 pounds. It was very good value for money the food was lovely as it always is. The service was brilliant we had Lynne looking after us and had a lovely evening in a nice atmosphere. Would recommend!

Me and my partner absolutely love this place staff are really friendly and welcoming, the layout of the venue is just gorgeous it’s lovely and peaceful & the food is absolutely delicious!! Highly recommend this for a date night absolutely well worth the visit

Just popped in for coffee late morning. Really good coffee. Service friendly and excellent. Loved the atmosphere, rustic and homely.

The main courses we had was bigger than we thought and the puddings was lovely the drinks was resenable price great night out would recommend the place for a great relaxing night

Our group of ladies received a really warm, friendly welcome from Lynn, who looked after us brilliantly all evening. She took our various orders efficiently and with good humour. Our meals were tasty; various members of staff checked that we were happy with everything and Lynn ensured that even the picky person (me!) rounded off the evening enjoying a perfect coffee. Thanks, Lynn!

We had a super evening at the Homestead. Lynn & Emma served us promptly with drinks and the food was excellent. We also had coffee afterwards as we couldn’t manage a dessert!

Beautiful building. We frequent Chef & Brewer to make use of Tesco Clubcard vouchers. We usually find the standard of food to be similar across the brand (standard menu), but this is one of the best deliveries. Friendly and efficient staff. Outstanding toilets. Ordered bacon & cheese burgers, no-leaf salad, steak n ale pie and smothered chicken with diet cokes and a pint of Old Speckled hen. One coffee with mini cheesecake brought total bill to £93. Thank you Lynn & Emma.

Lovely food very gorgeous place

Me and my partner came here for our valentines dinner. We ate from the main menu as we didn’t fancy having 3 courses! We had high expectations from reading the reviews and from seeing the beautiful building and the elegant cosy feel of the interior. Drinks service was a little slow as they were low on staff however our food came out quicker than we expected. Presentation was lovely but once we dug in we were met with disappointment. My partner had the 8oz steak, rare and when it came out the sides were not seared especially considering half of the steak was just fat! Both sides of the steak were pale, would have probably gotten a better steak at Wetherspoons! I had the chicken and ham pie with mash and the veg felt undercooked as did the pastry for the pie. The mash was also quite hard and I was given little gravy to what you would expect with a pie. Despite the disappointment with the food, the customer service was amazing!! 🤩 We were served by Lynn and she was incredible! So polite and very kind to us! Cracked a few jokes too which we greatly appreciated! Thank you Lynn our saving grace 🙏 The man behind the bar was also quite a lovely gentleman.

Venue is lovely, staff are very friendly and attentive but the food is a bit bland and overpriced for what it is

Good food that came quickly. Well presented and hot. Surroundings are pleasant. We had efficient service from Eloise and Anna. Thank you

On a Friday night I took my daughter and husband out for a meal at this wonderful restaurant. Superb food and service. Really good value for money.

We pop in here for food and it's lovely. we chose here for my dads wake for access from lincoln crem, parking etc cannot express my thanks enough to Amy and the team for providing the perfect wake. Buffet, set up everything was amazing. Will not forget the level of provision delivered fo me and my family . Dad loved the fish and chips when he went once .

We visit regularly and this week I chose to hold my dads wake here for around 40 people. Can't thank the team enough and Amy has been great. A smooth organisation element, buffet was perfectly and plenty for family to even take home with them. Great for many occasions and recommended Ideal location from Lincoln crem , plenty parking too

Me and my partner came to The Homestead for a quick tea at the end of the day and as always we were really impressed with the food and service. Lynn served us with a big smile and was very attentive. She even settled our ‘crisp sandwich’ dilemma🤣 !! Thank you Lynn and The Homestead Team for a lovely evening!

I always enjoy meeting up at Homestead. There's always a warm welcome and attentive service. There is a wide choice on the menu and the coffee is excellent. The building is clean, tastefully decorated, spacious and comfortable, and the toilet facilities are superb. With the huge car park and easy access, it's definitely worth a visit for people who are on their own, or with friends, family, or in larger groups.

Venetia served us, she was very friendly and efficient. The food was great as usual. Lovely place and lovely staff. Thank you.

Not been for Sunday lunch in a while. But I wasn't disappointed. The meal was lovely, the service was great. Will definitely be returning .🙂

Me and my girlfriend attended tonight for a meal to celebrate burns night, the food was outstanding, my partner even stated it was the best meal she has ever eaten 👀 Bold statement......we will be back for sure 👌

Emma and Venetia couldn't have been more welcoming. They always go over and above to make sure we enjoy our visits. Always nice to receive a lovely smile and a cheery voice. We'll be back soon.

Burns Night Supper with my wife. Good menu choice of tasty Burns specials. Friendly prompt service front Emma and Venetia. We arrived at 6pm and by the time we left the restaurant it was less than 1/3 occupied. Shame, the evening deserved more custom. MaybeThursday is not a big evening.

Great food, great service. Jess was great!
