March Hare Kitchen & Deli in West Lindsey - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Nice atmosphere & decor, very clean, good quality food, friendly service, value for money, I will return next time Iam in the area.

Shown to table. No drinks order taken. One lady clearing tables. Rest of staff chatting to each other behind counter. . Cafe was not busy, just a couple of tables having drinks. After being ignored for 15 minutes we left. Our table was right in front of the counter so staff were stood right behind us

We decided at the last minute so go out for lunch whilst visiting middle rasen. We were not disappointed, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. I had a lovely and very filling biscoff milkshake whilst our food was prepared. When the food came it was freshly made and very tasty, the chips were particularly good. We will definitely visit again as the menu was packed full of tempting dishes.

Great breakfast. Music a little loud for early morning, also needs to be more varied to meet all tastes.

Nice place, friendly staff. Over £8 for a piece of cake and a large coconut milk latte. Cake was very nice. The latte was not hot enough, I certainly wouldn't class the cup as large and it was at least 1/3 foam. So all in all very expensive for a very poor coffee.

I visited the march hare today with a friend and ordered the ham, egg and chips. When the food arrived the ham was a grey and brown colour. I didn't eat it. I tried a peice and it tasted off it really tasted discusting. No doubt it had gone off. I complained to the server who spoke to the chef who then told me it wasn't off and that's the colour it goes. I'm no chef but I know the colour/smell and taste of meat when it's gone off. They also still expected full payment for the meal until i pointed out that I only had a handful of chips and an egg. Not worth the £12 they was asking! Will not be returning. Could of made myself and others very poorly. Quite concerning if they can't tell when the meats gone bad!!

Went with family for lunch. Waited nearly an hour for just sandwiches. Coffee was served pretty quickly on ordering. I won't be returning.

Very pleasant with friendly service

Lovely breakfast nice friendly staff would recommend a visit

My friend and I went to the March Hare recently and left disappointed and hungry. I ordered a Caesar salad, and right off the bat it costs £2 extra to add chicken pieces, which I feel is ridiculous for a salad that most places serve with chicken. I had mine without bacon and what arrived was a bowl of lettuce with less than 3 anchovies and a small drizzle of dressing, no croutons and no lemon, that was supposed to be with my meal. We ordered a bowl of chips to share, for £3.50 , and what arrived was a small portion of soggy, presumably oven-cooked chips. The meal as a whole cost me £15.70 which was not justifiable to what I had been given as they did not remove the bacon from the bill, and I left hungry- and only had tap water to drink, so it was £15.70 for essentially bowl of lettuce and half a portion of chips. In comparison to other reviews, the service has gotten quicker and we had more attention from staff than we have had previously.

Excellent breakfast, super nice interior, friendly and efficient staff, sensible prices, highly recommend

Service very slow ,tables not cleared after customers departed. Ordered banana maple syrup pancakes. Received 3 unheated ,dry dropped scones with mashed warm banana on a cold plate . Requested and received small pot of maple syrup. I was expecting proper freshly cooked pancakes, with drizzled warm maple syrup. Given 10 % off bill. Extremely disappointing meal. Won't be returning.

Looks nice from the outside, but waiting times for anything is justs ridiculous. We were waiting for 40 mins for breakfast. ;) takes ages for these ladies to take an order and then you have to check and push them to actually start cooking it. And they not even that busy. Service seems chaotic. Prices are on the high end. 13,50 for omelette and 10 for breakfast without cup of tea.

We had the sweetcorn fritters. They were delicious. The staff were friendly and they were lovely to our dog. Will definitely return!!

Lovely place. Only came in a for a drink. Will definitely pop back for food looked lovely. Cakes look amazing.

Stood at the “please wait here to be seated” shouted at from near the bar table for two is it do you want a window seat. Sat down at 11.20 ordered coffees waited. Young lady came to take our order tried to order Philly steak sandwich but before 12 is a limited breakfast menu so ordered eggs Benedict told no ham then what I presume was kitchen assistant came out and told staff they had run out of eggs so he was going to the coop. Drinks arrived at 11:45 had time for another coffee before food arrive at 12:10 if we knew food was going to take so long we would have waited till twelve. Food came was ok nice amount presented well. Service was ok not very personal though, seems to be lots of staff around but not really attentive to customers more busy standing and gossiping. Will return as food was good.

Came in this morning for a coffee and 20 min after we still didn't get served so got up and went somewhere else. If you busy you need to look at getting some more staff to help.

Overpriced. Avoid. Make use the other two cafés in the town. Central Market Rasen location with poor parking. If you do manage to get parked, and enter this venue; you'll be shouted at which table to take despite standing at the "please wait to be seated sign". Upon sitting yourself, you'll be provided with a menu, and that menu will be (and is) confused. Is this a cafe? Is it a restaurant? Spotted the Steak Sandwich, scanned further to find it was lacking the standard chips. Throw chips and drink on top, we're at £20! No thanks, that's evening meal territory... No table service, had to go up to the counter. Drinks arrived , was told glass was 'half full' due to coming from the can. £2.00 service charge then...cake was edible..not Tealby Tea Room standard. We discussed if we'd return to this place before leaving, the answer was No. Other places next time..

Booked a group table for today 26th feb 12noon...not impressed with my meal personally and didn't even like the look of several others. I had the breakfast pie, burnt bacon and sausage rock hard pastry, not very tasty, some accompaniments arrived after the meals were eaten.The lasagnes were dry and shrivelled up.Empty dirty plates were left in front of people even when their desserts were served! Not impressed especially for the prices.

Lovely food but it was cold in there

A really friendly cafe with great food and drinks. Highly recommended!

We was passing through and decided to stop for a breakfast. Waited ages. Lukewarm beans. Undercooked tomato. Undercooked snotty egg. Mushrooms still raw in middle and swimming in oil. Cheap dry black pudding and really really dry bacon. Even the quality sausage was hard and dry and we weren't checked to see if eventing was OK. If you're gonna do a posh pretentious breakfast for a tenner, at least get the basics right first. The restaurant was freezing and the staff had full blown loud conversations over the tops of tables from one side of the restaurant to the other. When we'd finished no one ever came to clear our plates despite there being plenty of staff, especially one that was solely cleaning tables around us. So again we weren't asked if everything was OK and if we wanted anything else like another coffee and cake, which we might have if it hadn't have been so cold in there. To be honest i couldn't wait to leave. Keep driving. Edited -To the businesses reply - I've left over 100 reviews, most of which are positive, but I've never posted photos on reviews, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. I took one on this occasion but didn't post it, but here it is. As you can see, snotty egg and raw mushroom and tomato. Unfortunately you can't see the cold beans, cold room or unprofessional staff.

Went in a few weeks ago for something to eat. We were seated by a young lady who then proceeded to ignore us. They didn't even bother coming for a drinks order. Staff more content to faff behind the bar. Other people were being ignored too. After 20 minutes of nobody coming back, and failing to get any attention, we got up and left. Only then did they show any interest in serving us. Won't ever, ever be back. To the owners - if you employ kids, you need an adult there to coordinate them. EDIT: to the owner's reply below, we sat in the window towards the end of the bar on Saturday December 16th, and we were definitely in the March Hare. Your staff absolutely did ignore us, and we won't be troubling you again.

Having read the good reviews we were expecting better. Must have had an off day when we visited. Ordered 3 drinks -2 cold, 1 hot. The coke was warm and flat so we asked for another glass of water. The 3 meals ordered were one poached egg (well done) on brown with mushrooms - arrived on white. Another meal was poached eggs on soda bread -arrived on brown. A quick swop around sorted that. But the white toast was wet and the eggs on the other meal had a large piece of egg shell in. The soup/sandwich was disappointing. Soup was cold the sandwhich consisted of two rounds of dry cold toast with sliced cheese. Very dry and cold. The bill was adjusted accordingly but we were still hungry and left to visit the bakery over the road and bought pasties and cakes which were lovely.

Visited for a breakfast, which was delicious. Also had a hot chocolate. The team were really nice and friendly, the atmosphere was good and service was quick.

Very popular restaurant in the heart of market rasen. Service was exceptional, friendly very timely. Well impressed. Dog friendly too!

Staff are great, very polite and helpful, very patient with my 93 yrs old mum while she chose what cake to eat as there was so many to choose from.

Fabulous eggs benedict royale with absolutely perfect egg yokes.

Loved the visit. Very helpful staff and clean place. Enjoyed the cake and drinks.

Had to wait for the train so called in for lunch, staff very friendly, food very tasty and fresh

Very friendly and sociable staff, nice cakes too. Good portion control. Plenty of room around the tables, surprised it was so quiet. Not sure what Google thinks it's a Hotel.

A great place for a family evening meal, the Milkshakes, the starters, the Mains the cakes you get what you pay for. Chef was top draw and Leslie was attentive in every way. My fiancee recommends The March Hare Burger. You may see us when you get there, as we will now be regulars. Lance, Em & A.

Service and atmosphere was excellent. I had green eggs and ham which was nice but the bubble and squeak which accompanied it was just puried mash mixed with peas it was almost like it was made with instant mash☹️. I had a slice of really nice cake afterwards though that made up for it.

Craic 90. Server tuned into our oirish humour and even delivered paracetamol as part of our joke. Stayed only 2 days market raisen, ate there twice... excellent vfm

Extremely slow service and over priced for the poor food quality

What a great place! The ingredients are top quality and the service impeccable. Breakfast was fabulous and extremely generous portion and although I had my eye on the carrot cake there was just no way I could eat anything else… Very heartedly recommended

Everything about this place is superb. The food was amazing. The staff were excellent and the place is fitted out beautifully. Well worth a visit

Had the most amazing meal today cannot fault food services absolutely brilliant thank you to Rob chef nate and lesley front of house ..we had the steak sandwich melted in your mouth

Great place eat, friendly staff and lovely choices on the menu

Great breakfast cafe in a cute town.

Looked like a nice place, however when we went in, we were put on the table right next to the coffee machine, despite other tables being free. The guy behind the counter seemed like we were bothering him, little attitude, ordered toasted tea cake, which was definitely not toasted. It was anaemic and a bit stale, cappucino was luke warm. Sausage baguette substituted for cheap white bread. When we left nobody acknowledged us, but they said goodbye to everyone else. Only saving grace was the lady was nice to us. Wouldn’t come back.

Fabulous food and a great atmosphere

Dropped in for a a quick snack, liked the place, liked the snack.

Great full English breakfast with local produce.

We went to the March and Hare as a birthday treat for my sister. My mum booked for 10:30am. She arrived at this time. I was running late so gave her my order. When I arrived at 10:50 they still had not been served. We were served at 11am. After we ordered we waited for another 20mins and still no drinks. My mum enquired and was rudely told by a waitress that she was clearing tables not doing drinks. The food arrived before the drinks. We ordered eggs benidict and the eggs were hard. Me and my sister were fine with it but my mum sent it back and enquired about the drinks again. Are drinks arrived with an apology for the wait. They did remake my mum's eggs to. On the way to the toilet though I heard the waitress and lady doing drinks moaning about our table. I didn't tell my mum this. The food did taste nice but the service is terrible. My mum was a bit abrupt (she isnt very well at the moment and diabetic so needed food) but it is expensive here and so you would expect to be treated better. We wont be hurrying back.

Poached eggs not cooked properly, but everything else was OK. Nice place inside.

Beautiful cafe we found by chance. Really calming environment, good selection of hot drinks and welcoming, friendly service

The women at the bar was lovely , and the coffee was splendid , definitely a place to go for good scran

Delicious food and good service thank you we'll be back 🤓

Went to MH for Sunday brunch today, what a total disappointment, waited 55 minutes for it to arrive , cooked breakfast was dry but edible, however scrambled egg and beans was disgusting, it was a sloopy mess just spread on toast,who mixes egg and beans together, no butter for toast and not offered another drink with meal as finished first pot of tea 40 mins earlier, Will not be visiting this place again, as it wasn't the first time we've had to wait,

Friendly staff and an interesting menu.

In the area for a short break and March Hare was recommended to us by the staff in Tesco, and what an excellent recommendation it was! There's a good range of food options, vast range of drinks, and the service is polite and friendly. We had the bclt sandwich, eggs benedict, and penne pasta and chicken from the children's menu, and all of us thoroughly enjoyed our choices. My little girl has an egg allergy and whilst they didn't have a lot of choice of egg-free options on the children's menu, they offered to make anything from the main menu at half portion and price, so very accommodating. Drinks wise, the coffee is one of the nicest I've had for a while, and the family loved the milkshake choices. Be sure to try out the March Hare if you're in the area. Thank you, March Hare, for making our visit one to remember.

Very good breakfast - longish wait but place was very busy and everything cooked fresh for your order - staff very pleasant

Lovely coffee, perfect coffee cake

Lovely staff, nice atmosphere and good coffee. Try it.

Absolutely brilliant, great food, coffee service and atmosphere. Oh yes and the staff are pretty good too.

A very nice place to eat. Food is amazing. The menu could do with being a slight bit larger but I understand it’s only a small place. It is the only place in Rasen where I’ve not been let down for food so would 100% recommend trying here first as they don’t disappoint.

Absolutely fabulous little find in Market Rasen ! Had a wonderful breakfast, service was great I will definitely be returning back. Looking forward to the dinner and entertainment evening booked in a few weeks !

Four of us went for brunch, have to say, one of the best brunches ever and the coffee is great.

Just returned from a trip to Market Rasen. Had a lovely breakfast, and it was hot, not like some other places i have been too recently and my wife really enjoyed her eggs benedict. It was nice to see the staff inter reacting with the customers. Would recommend it, dog friendly, could get busy at lunch times, so i suggest you may need to book or take pot luck.

Very welcoming and friendly staff. Good quality food and a plentiful choice. Very good value.

Very disappointed, sadly We have eaten at this establishment many times over the last year, we love the food, atmosphere and staff are very friendly but on Friday this week we popped in for lunch but a 3/4 of an hour wait for Welsh Rabbit (hope spelt right) was not acceptable. We had to leave hungry as we had an appointment to go to later on that afternoon and did not want to have to rush eating if the meal did eventually arrive. Also, our tea cups were not properly clean, we had them changed but mine was replaced by another dirty cup! I have to stress, though we were very disappointed with the lack of our meals, the staff member serving us was polite, friendly and very apologetic and we are sure the food, had it arrived, would have been delicious but the wait was not acceptable. Does the kitchen need extra staff member to help because reading other reviews our experience this week seems to be the same as others?

Missed my order waited over 40 mins to be told they forgot my food so I was left with with only a cup of tea. Then the final insult came when I went to pay they wanted to charge me for the food they didn’t even make Run by kids that don’t have a clue what they are doing Wont be coming back after been going at least 10 times there’s always something wrong

Good location in the centre of Market Rasen with easy parking close by. It is very popular and because of that the service can be slow, we would have had to wait over 30 mins for food if we had opted for it.. The coffee wasn't the best and the cakes are pre cut, so be sure to check before you order to ensure you get value for money.

Well organised, busy most of the time, but lovely staff and Good service plus quality food.

Very pleasant and polite staff ...first time there and received a great welcome. Good food also .

Lovely place, food and staff. Highly recommended

Welcoming staff .. Warm and dry .. Nice coffee and cakes

Amazing best staff ever polite friendly welcoming had a lovely cuppa tea and biscuit very attentive lovely staff. Would definitely come back and highly recommend five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Visited for the first time as it has a good customer rating and was full at the time we walked past. We ordered a bowl and soup and toastie. 30 minutes after ordering we still had not been served, on enquiring, we were told it would be another 30 minutes! An hour for soup and a toastie is ridiculous, so we cancelled and left. I can't comment on the quality of the food, but the tables on either side of us had already been waiting for an hour and still not been served with their meals. I have to assume they were having a bad day in the kitchen as I can believe the place could be so highly rated if this is typical of the service. Update......after a quick and courteous apology we will be giving it another try next month

This is our favorite cafe in Lincolnshire. We travel half an hour to go here. Most cafes do full English or variations of (nothing wrong with that) This place cooks some amazing food. Green eggs and ham, Eggs Shakshuka are a couple of my favorites, well worth a visit, it's always fairly busy, the staff are amazing and it's beautifully decorated.

Usually very happy with coffee an cake but today decided to have breakfast. Ordered coffee, breakfast and cake. And sat and waited, and waited and waited. When I ask if our order would be out soon as the couple next to us had come in after us and had their food. I was told there was a back log. So waited a bit longer. Then more food came out for people who had come in well after us. So asked again , to be told they had run out of muffins and that someone was to get some. But people who had ordered after us had muffins. Gave up and left 45 minutes after arrived. Just be honest folks. You lost our order. Could have offered us a free coffee while we waited for our order to be done and would have been happy. I work in retail that has a café. If someone had just let us know what was going on instead of letting us sit there. It was only when we had asked twice for our food that this issue arose. When I challenged the fact I was told they only just realised.

Lovely food and staff. Nice atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast. Thank you.

Amazing staff and service. Only nipped in for a coffee but had a wonderful breakfast, too, as it all sounded so nice. I will definitely be back again as we were made to feel so welcome and comfortable. Really pleased with this gem 💎

Need to get the fundamentals right, the coffee quality and making was poor. The speed is far to slow and the service in general average. The pastry I bought was also stale. Oh dear.

Popped in for breakfast and it was absolutely delicious . Our waitress was really friendly and attentive . Will definitely go again .

First time visit for us and will not be the last! Eggs Benedict were lovely as was the full English.

Excellent Vegetarian breakfast,. Staff were friendly and service was very good.

1st Time visit. A real find! Enjoyed the quirky stylish place. Delicious cake and coffee. Look forward to the next visit to try brunch!

Amazing hot chocolate! Lovely friendly staff who were happy to chat with us about the local area. Would definitely come back

Best coffee I've had in ages. Great breakfast with proper thick bacon - lush 😋

Lovely staff, great food and beautiful place.

Arrived at a busy time so had to sit outside so understood that. Couple on the next table I noticed had to go in to see if they had been forgotten so the waitress came to take our orders and was polite and apologetic explained they were very busy. We ordered cake and coffees and waited patiently. When they arrived the waitress dashed off and I noticed my americano was not black but a muddy brown as if something like milk had been added although I had seperate milk. I started with lemon traybake which was so dry so was my friends cake and had a sickly sweet topping which I scraped off. When I added milk to my coffee and tasted it it was undrinkable and had a bitter tang to it and got my friend to taste it and she agreed with me. At a cost of nearly £15.00 definitely not value for money. The food on the next table looked nice and I have eaten food there before which was really lovely. Perhaps keep an eye on how long cake is there and how stored to stay fresher. It is great to see this establishment so busy and that is commendable we don't mind waiting as long as the food served does not suffer.

Fantastic breakfast, nothing else to say

Lovely place and lovely food. We have been a couple of times now and definitely will become a regular. I recently had a surgery and they were so accommodating in helping make me comfortable so I could elevate my leg.

Lovely food, good service & nice atmosphere

It's always the drinks that are the main problem. This time they served my husband with a cup of very weak Americano, so he asked for a French Press instead. The cream they served with it was the wrong kind to put in coffee, too thick, so it was separated in blobs on the surface. When we pointed this out, the waiter called the Manageress who asked us what kind of cream we put in our coffee; we usually put standard double cream. She told us that they use an even thicker cream and it was only bought that morning. No apology, bad attitude. They got my order for Peppermint tea wrong and gave me Green tea. When I pointed this out, the manageress told me they are next to each other in the drawer. No apologies. We later realised were overcharged. They have Turmeric Latte on their menu. I have only managed to have it once since they added it. I said to our waitress the last time I asked, in a friendly way, "You haven't had it for a year, how about taking it off the menu?" She did not apologise, but justified that they couldn't get it. I told her where it could be found. Dogs can also be a nuisance there, barking for example.

Thought we would visit Market Rasen for a few hours. Went here for brunch. Had poached egg with gammon and bubble and squeek with some green sauce. On the menu as Green Eggs and Ham. They included Kale in the bubble and squeek, which as you know, if you dont boil the life out of it the stalks are inedible which they were. The gammon contained gristle and the green sauce smothered all other flavours as there was way too much of it! The only thing right on the plate was the poached egg! Will NOT go again. Nobody came over to ask if our meals were ok. Was NOT asked at the till....all they wanted was the money. Expensive too.....dont bother going!

Just had lunch at The March Hare in Market Rasen. Really nice place, staff are great and the food is delish. Will be back 👍

Good coffee house. Very good breakfast sandwiches.

Quality is very good but the service can be slow.

Stopped for brunch at this brilliant cafe next to the market square whilst away for two nights at a nearby cottage. Warm welcome from the waitress and service was prompt but not rushed. Drinks and food (iced coffee, milkshake and full breakfasts) were all tasty and of good quality. A little pricey than others, but very good value for money when all considered. Recommend highly.

Today after completing a wing walk for charity we decided to stop for a bite to eat in Market Rasen. We saw this place walked in and the two young girls behind the counter were- for some reason, incredibly rude. I asked for a menu and as we looked they were openly gesturing at us, laughing, rolling their eyes. We just immediately left and they were still doing so. We are unsure what we did but it was quite cruel. We will not be back. We went to Jossals instead and they were so lovely.

Super friendly staff, easy access location, relaxing atmosphere and a good choice of meal and drink options (without the problems of a massive menu). Highly recommended. Will be back for an evening meal as soon as we can.

Very nice food and great service

Very nice food and good service.

Went for Father's Day breakfast. Food was lovely, service was good but time between taking orders/receiving items. Normally wouldn't mind but with 2 young children, it made a difference. Would return though (maybe without the children!)

We were shown to our table, then had a long wait for the waiter to come and take our order as he showed another group to their table and took their order straight away. When he did come he took our order for drinks then went away before we could order cakes. The drinks took a long time to arrive and we then asked for cakes. He started to serve these but then halfway through went off and served someone else. Eventually when the cakes arrived, my chocolate brownie was very dry and stale.

Nice tasty late lunch in pleasant surroundings. Service was good.

This is a very popular little coffee shop, in a small town. Coffee is lovely and the food and drink choices are second to none. Friendly helpful staff and the service is excellent. Will definitely visit again.
