Lakeside Cafe in North Kesteven

Visited on 20th July with my wife. Ordered food, drinks and desserts. Everything came out at once within 10 minutes apart from a sauasage pannini, my wife had finished her food so after 35 minutes went to order another drink and find out where said pannini was. It was under a hot plate forgotten about, she was handed it and brought it out herself but ordered two lattes before leaving the counter. After 20 miniutes the lattes still hadnt arrived so i went to find out where they were, still sat on the counter !!!. I could understand if they were very busy but they clearly werent with several staff i can only describe as tossing it off around the till for an easly life, the waiting staff couldnt have been any slower and didnt seem to have a clue what they were doing, comming out shouting different foods and drinks out when tables numbers were given at the point of ordering. The only upside was the food which we had when it arrived was ok but the service and waiting time make the cafe a very poorly run venue, wont be visiting again based on this experience.

Been a few times and it’s value for money. Only disappointment this year was the ploughmans lunch wasn’t as good as last year. Otherwise I’d of given it 5/5

Nice cafe within Whisby Garden Centre. The food is excellent and highly recommended. Everything from tea and cakes right through to lovely meals. The breakfast is excellent and the choice of meals is very good indeed. We had no intention of eating there, but after watching the food come out of the kitchen while we drank our coffees, we succumbed! Comfortable and cosy, inside and out. We'll be back...

Very expensive for what you get. Kids box was one slice of bread, more butter than fillings. Beef burger was cheap and bread bun was floury and just fell apart. Chips were solid and not very nice. Panini had very little filling, mostly mayo. If it had chicken in it, it was only the beak! The coffee was ok. Soft drinks in small cups with a big price. It really is trying to be something it isn’t. If they stuck to cake and coffee it probably would be better. Service was good but that’s it. Wouldn’t eat here again.

My wife and I visited for lunch, but she had been before for tea and cake so we thought we would try for lunch. We were not disappointed. The menu offered a range of options from Burgers, Pizza, Full English, Soup, Paninis, Sandwiches, Salad and Jacket Potato with fillings. There is also a selection for children. The food is very tasty and more than sufficient. It is reasonably priced as well. You can eat inside the café looking over the lake or outside at the lake side. With a selection of small and large table configurations. As a place for a quick lunch, a relaxing lunch or afternoon tea it ticks all the boxes. Whilst they do not reserve tables the staff did say that they would do what they can to make sure something was available for a larger group [which we went as later in the month, 6adults and 3 children]
