Musicians Arms in North Kesteven

Visited for lunch today. Fabulous meal and great service. Obviously a popular place as there seemed to be a lot of regulars eating there. Had Gammon, then Kit Kat Cheesecake and a cup of tea. £8.50. Fabulous value and will definitely visit again.

Booked for lunch. Been to this brilliant pub restaurant several times before, knew exactly what to expect and were not disappointed. The food is no-frills, generous and tasty. Nouvelle cuisine it isn't, thank goodness. Boss had roast turkey with roast tates and perfectly cooked veggies with some bite left in them. I had the chicken curry with rice and chips - super curry with tomatoes and lots of onion, hint of sweetness and spices, and a pint to wash it all down. Both had puddings (big piles of calories covered with pouring cream) and very nice too. £18 the lot. The Musicians Arms is friendly and cheery and a reminder that buried under all the lunacies that government, politicians, the media, activists, political correctness, the BBC and other numbskulls can unload onto us, there are yet places left where people are decent, life can still be a joy, and a sense of Englishness lives on.

Went for Sunday lunch while staying with my parents, who have been before. It is a good Sunday roast, choice of three meats (tell them when you call to book if you want lamb) with various delicious desserts (I had crumble with custard). The owner/chef came out to say Hello, and explained their booking were lower though this was not unexpected. The owner said tha switching to takeaway would be easy for them, which is to be applauded at this time. Tasty comfort food.

Yet again a fantastic meal at a very good price,i took a good friend of mine who is very impressed with the whole experience Brian with his wife and a very capable crew always deliver qaulity consistently we will be back soon.

The Musicians will never be trendy or chic and the average age of its customers will always be over 60 but what it will be is somewhere that serves tasty, hot and plentiful food at a great price served by friendly staff. Long may it continue.

Went for Sunday lunch. Choice of 3 meats, I had beef, wife had turkey, came with mash, roasts, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, peas and yorkshire. Everything well cooked and plentiful. Huge choice of delicious puddings then a coffee £8:50 fantastic value for a really good meal. We shall be returning.

The Musician's Arms is an experience. Fabulous food like your mother would have cooked - an amazing plate of food. I had steak pie (suet pastry!), mash, veg and gravy, with KitKat cheesecake to follow. Sensational. We loved it, and will be back. Difficult to avoid walking out of here without a huge grin on your face. The food and the people just make it happen. Forget nouvelle cuisine, get yourself here for a stonking lunch.

Another Sunday lunch without fault. We eat here regular and find the quality and quantity outstanding and without complaint. Today was no exception. My wife and I both had lamb and it was superb. I couldn't refuse my regular choice of desert (apple crumble and custard) and my wife opted for kit kat cheese cake. She was too full to finish hers but i was all too happy to help her with it. Delicious as ever. Always a warm welcome for customers new and old alike.

Great venue for a god home cooked Sunday Lunch. Very tasty grub & excellent service from friendly staff. Pleasant atmosphere & the place was full with about 60 diners at both sittings. Two courses plus coffee for £8.50. What's not to like? Other pubs in the area could learn a lot from this place. Excellent all round.

My wife and I eat Sunday lunch here with a friend at least once every 3 week and sometimes more depending on other commitments. You will travel a long way to find a good value for money lunch to rival this one. Delicious food with a choice of roast meats,plenty of veg,roast and mash potatoes,stuffing and Yorkshire pudding. To follow they have mostly home made deserts to die for with a choice of fresh cream,squirty cream or custard to accompany your vast choice. Plenty to choose from and a cup of tea or coffee to follow all for the bargain price of £8:50. Friendly staff,great banter with a warm welcome. 2 sittings on Sunday but still advisable to book.

Went here as a group of 8 for Sunday lunch. Ages ranging from 19 to 80. All agreed the service was spot on,nothing was to much trouble,and the staff were all lovely and friendly.The food was proper home cooked absolutely lovely,best beef I've had in a very long time. Desserts also and a very large selection to choose from. Couldn't fault it, only wish I was local so could visit often. Very enjoyable family get together.

If you want home cooked food and great value, look no further. The beef is like Grandmother used to cook and the steak pie is unbeleivable as are all the menu options. These are proper meals with proper vegetables. It is very popular so advisable to book at least for Sunday's. Service is speedy and most unusually the place is consistent so you know what to expect every time you go and I am lucky enough to live near enough to take full advantage of this excellent place. It doesn't try to be "hip" just solid, good and reliable. The landlord is a real card as well! John. Woodhall Spa. You feel very welcome and your custom is clearly valued.

Called in for a saturday lunch, food, service and drinks were just great, the mains home cooked, plentiful and tasty. The Trio menu offers excellent value. Look forward to my next visit

I’ve written a few reviews about this place over the years and after eating here on Saturday thought it deserved another. The price of £8.50 is amazing value for the main, dessert and coffee. Staff are always polite and go out of there way to make you feel welcome and looked after. It was a hard decision to decide on my main but I do love the home made onion rings so I decide on the gammon, with my mate having the fish and homemade chips. I’ve attached pictures as they defo say far more about the amazing quality of the food you get than I can try and capture in words. For desert I picked the homemade cheese cake. Truly amazing.

Absolutely faultless fantastic food Brian and his wife and all the staff cant do enough for you the place was heaving and its that good there were two sittings i have worked in hotel kitchens as a youth its never easy pleasing the public looking at one or two comments i think these people are spies trying to disrepute this fantastic place it is very unique thanks Kevin.

We went in for lunch today and wow what a disappointment. We walked in the bar/lounge area and wanted to get a drink. To start off we only had the choice of with 3 beers on tap, and not good beers either. After that we went through to the restaurant with chains hanging over the doors which nearly knocked our drinks over, its like walking through to a conservatory. As we walked through we saw the kitchen on one side and the bar on the other with also chains hanging over the door ways. We then arrived to the restaurant and it looked like we were walking into an old people’s home. No music, awful decoration and we felt like we were visiting some ancient relatives. We sat down and placed our order to then realise our food was out within 2/3 minutes. Now for me that is far too quick, it seemed rushed and they just plated up pre cooked food and sent it out. The food came out and it looked sloppy, the mash was more like smash. The Yorkshire puddings where bought in which is a disgrace. Yorkshire puddings are supposed to be home made all the time. The vegetables tasted like they were out of a tin; bland and watery. The meat fell apart but was awfully dry. We all coated out meat in gravy but couldn’t save it! The roast potatoes weren’t roasted properly they tasted boiled and then shoved in the oven for 10 minutes, they were awful and you cannot call them proper roasted potatoes. We never complain because we find it rude and it gives off a bad atmosphere for other customers that surprisingly maybe enjoying it. We then had dessert which actually was half decent but we were given a grape cut in half and the tiniest cut of orange, it was like they were rationing it for ww2 still, which would suit the average age of the customers.

And before anyone moans; I hate leaving a poor review. Done it twice in 65 years. Running a pub serving food is hard at the best of times, but really this one needs work. First the lager smelled so I changed it for beer. No vegetarian option so we both selected fish and chips. Nw how hard could that be? The tartare sauce was lovely though.

I have had Sunday lunch here twice, brilliant service and the food is amazing. Massive plate full and good value for money. Prefer this to a lot of places I've had a Sunday lunch, thank you.

No puedo creer que haya pasado casi un año desde mi última visita aquí. Me alegra decir que no ha cambiado. No pude decidir qué habríamos decidido con la salchicha de Lincolnshire con puré de papas. Luego terminó con una esponja de melaza hecha en casa. Gran servicio al cliente de Mel, nos vemos el año que viene chicos.

Hemos comido [no cenamos] aquí varias veces, siempre con la familia.

Gracias, Brian, por tus fantásticos almuerzos y dulces de Roast Turkey. Viajé desde Louth para recoger a mi padre en Boston, luego viajamos a Musicians Arms y nos tratan como a Kings, una vez más, gracias por el excelente servicio de Brian. tu humor

Great food, beautiful homemade pies and desserts. The pastry is fantastic. Large portions with various fresh vegetables and all at a very reasonable price. Not surprised it was absolutely packed and we had to book a table. We went with friends who were equally impressed.

Estaba visitando North Ings Farm Railway y después de la visita llamada aquí para un excelente almuerzo con una opción de Turquía o carne de res para platos principales, vino con crema y patatas asadas, verduras y Yorkshire pud. El pavo fue cortado casi un cuarto de pulgada de espesor con la mejor salsa de arándanos que he tenido. Esto fue seguido por una selección de al menos 6 postres, que tenía crumble de manzana y una vez más la elección de crema, helado o crema, era una gran porción con una buena ración de helado. Para rematar, una selección de té o café todo por 8. 00, una ganga absoluta. Si vuelvo a visitar Lincolnshire, no iré a la comida del domingo.

Esta fue nuestra primera visita a The Musicians Arms que fue recomendado por un vecino mío. Nos quedamos muy impresionados El personal era muy amable y servicial, la comida estaba muy caliente y muy buena. Perfectamente servido con salsa deliciosa y una buena selección de verduras. No puedo criticar mis salchichas que había elegido, mis parientes ancianos son vegetarianos, así que tenían la cena asada sin la carne, si había algo negativo que decir que sería tal vez que no había comida vegetariana real sin embargo, para ser justos, se les dijo que normalmente tienen y que tendrían al día siguiente. Todos tuvimos un dulce que era una gran porción y si nos quedaba una habitación para una taza de té o café, todo estaba en el precio de 8, muy buena relación calidad-precio y volveremos. También me sorprendió ver tanta gente comiendo afuera a la hora del almuerzo a mediados de la semana, hemos estado en algunos pubs donde prácticamente hemos sido los únicos. Gracias, Musicians Arms.

Roast Lamb Lunch absolutely out of this world always impressed with the food and service be back again soon.

Esta es mi segunda revisión que he hecho. Una vez más, no puedo alabar este pub lo suficiente. NUNCA hemos tenido una mala comida. Estoy consternado de que la gente pueda dejar un comentario sobre la comida y el propietario. En serio, son 7. 50 para una comida casera, postre casero y un té o café. ¿De verdad dónde comen estas personas que se quejan? ! ¡La mayoría de los otros pubs a los que voy son 5 por un postre congelado de un efectivo local y llevarlo!

Con frecuencia hemos pasado este pub en viajes a Lincoln,

Tuvimos un fantástico asado de Pascua. Tuve Turquía y mi marido tenía la carne ambas carnes perfectamente preparado y presentado con un montón de verduras y salsa. Si quieres una calidad excelente, excelente sabor y comida casera que tenga una excelente relación calidad-precio, pruébalo, nunca hemos tenido una mala comida. Como siempre el personal cortés y agradable, siempre altos estándares

Me quejé de la calidad de mi pavo, que era muy seco y duro, no se hizo nada al respecto, se suponía que debía obtener algo más, que no venía, pagar y prepararse para dejar a Brian, propietario, jefe de cocina, llamado mi amigo y muy groseramente me dijeron que había preparado 90 comidas para la hora del almuerzo y que éramos las únicas personas que se quejaban de la comida, ahora no me quejo muy a menudo, pero cuando estoy pagando, creo que tengo el derecho si yo no estoy satisfecho con lo que estoy pagando, pero desafortunadamente Brian no pudo, lo dejé allí, vino corriendo detrás de nosotros, ya estábamos en el auto, y recibimos otro bocado de abuso. Mis amigos han estado yendo a este pub durante mucho tiempo y si esta es la forma en que trata a sus clientes, entonces él no merece que la gente vaya a almorzar, ciertamente no volveremos.

Hemos estado visitando Musicians Arms en Dorrington para el almuerzo dominical 2 o 3 veces al mes durante aproximadamente 5 años, tal vez incluso más. Es un pequeño pub en un pueblo muy pequeño en el medio de Lincolnshire rural en la carretera principal entre Metheringham y Ruskington. El pub no ganaría ningún premio por la decoración con un solo bar con asientos antiguos y poco combinados, pero la principal atracción es el gran comedor, la comida generalmente excelente y los precios extremadamente razonables. El comedor podría usar un cambio de imagen importante y un poco más de espacio entre las mesas, pero siempre puede estar seguro de una cálida bienvenida.

Logré encajar una cena en la ruta a través de los músicos y probé la gammon hawaiana. El jamón era tan jugoso? y simplemente se derritió en mi boca junto con anillos de cebolla caseros y chips cortados a mano. Defo lo recomiendo Y para terminar crumble casero de manzana con crema pastelera. Ganador total Solo desearía que estuviera más cerca de Notts.

We have been here several times, early evening (around 6pm) as they close after 7pm. It is a very unassuming place, the staff are all super friendly and the meals are all home cooked. Pies, steak, gammon, excellent curry, fish and choice of roast every day, all with a choice of mash, roasties or chips and plenty of veg. Dessert and tea/coffee are included and the dessert range is extensive - including jelly!

What an absolutely fantastic Roast Beef Dinner we went a couple of months ago, what fantastic food and service,lovely pleasant staff,always high standards and we are going again next week/end cant wait.

Been a while since I’ve visited so decided to go with the extended family to celebrate my 41st birthday. Still wonder how they can provide a roast and desert for this price and the beef just melts. Also don’t think you can beat the white chocolate raspberry gateau. Just wish this place was closer to home.

Booked to go last Saturday for my mothers 96th birthday lunch. There were 6 of us in total. First appearance it resembled a transport cafe. We ordered straight away then there was a long delay before our meals were served. 3 of us had steak which was so tough I didn't think I would be able to chew it and had to cut it up into very small pieces. Mother had fish and chips which were inedible so she left most of her birthday meal. Then we had desserts. Mother and another guest had apple crumble which was so hard it was also inedible. Mother now says she will never have another pub meal it was so bad.

Very good food and remarkable value, but very limited opening hours. The website claims that they open from 11am until...

Regularmente visitamos este lugar - no podría ser mejor en precio, hay una buena variedad de comida disponible en el menú, incluyendo desiertos también! La comida es casera, de excelente calidad y gran cata - además de un montón de! ! Nunca hemos tenido una...

Primera visita. Tuvimos una comida de su trío de oferta. Comida principal (opción de unos seis platos) dulce (unos 8 opciones) y té o café, todo a 6 libras. 50! ! No podría poner ninguna parte de la comida, todas han sido hechas en casa...

Hemos visitado los músicos armas en varias ocasiones, principalmente con la familia. Aparcamiento Hay espacio en la parte delantera y lateral de este establecimiento, pero no está establecida y la consecuencia es que los coches parecen park por todas partes. A veces ocupado, que es...

Fue tomada aquí por unos amigos. La calidad de la comida es excelente y tiene el tamaño de las porciones. Gran relación calidad-precio y un gran anfitrión - todo el mundo parece feliz de estar comiendo allí. Este lugar se merece un premio, o dos.

Es el mejor lugar para disfrutar de una comida a cualquier hora del día ofvthe. Excepcional servicio tan amable y eso la gente de

. . . . . . . . . Sobre la parque de coche en este pub cuando tantos otros parecen tener dificultades para conseguir clientes. Así que nos fuimos para el almuerzo (un martes - esperaba que estuviera tranquilo).

Very friendly staff & welcoming.there was 13 of us we had a choice of beef turkey or lamb all cooked to perfection with fresh vegetables Yorkshire pudding & gravy.the choices of sweet were delicious I chose lemon & white chocolate cheesecake with ice cream.finished with tea/coffee.all for £6.75 this is a brilliant price.can not be beaten. Our first time and we will be returning.the service was fantastic no waiting served very promptly.very well organised.well done to a great team.

This gem of a pub/restaurant serves good quality home made food, I had a steak pie, which the meat just melted in your mouth, with loads of fresh vegetables, hubby had a steak, cooked to perfection, medium, no blood just pink, with homemade onion rings to die for, salad and chips, then we both had sweets, chocolate cake and cream and treacle sponge and " yellow gravy". then a tea and a coffee to finish. We had to small cokes with the meal and the bill was an astonishing £15 for the two of us. We enjoyed it so much we are going back with my in-laws for a birthday meal.

We finally got around to booking Sunday lunch at the Musicians Armsalmost 12 months after our plumber recommended it to us.Thank goodness we did! Most restaurants jack up the prices for Sunday lunch. Not this one.It was amazing value with four mains, four puddings, four non alcoholic drinks and four coffees costing a tad under £32.The mains terrific and I can vouch for the chefs crumble pudding skills!The dining room is fairly basic with tables in regimented rows but the food is excellent quality and fantastic value for money.

Delicious meal and pudding amazing value for money in a traditional village pub. Pleased to be giving my money to a local business for good homemade food than microwaved rubbish from some mega chain. Will soon be back.

ALL homemade, excellent value for money. The young staff are just amazing, clearing tables, chatting with customers and serving, what a credit to this small country pub.We have visited three times now and meal always been perfect.First time in over 20 years I have actually had a steak that was cooked as I asked!! I would definitely pay more, I can't think of anywhere that is such good value! Thank you

4 customers 3 Large portions of Chicken Pie, with a plateful of veg, and 1 Hawaian Gammon, which made my friends jealous, Followed by a large choice of desert with a large choice of custard , cream or ice cream, 4 Teas and the bill came to £14.00 None of us found anything to complain about and the meal was superb value, Going back again soon

The food is second to none. I had beef pie which was definitely home made. My wife had roast beef etc. You get a choice of mashed,boiled, roast potatoes or chips. The sweets were to die for,and the selection large. How they do a main course, sweet and a cup of tea or coffee for £6.50 we don't know.(we understand a small price is imminent) ,but it will still be a bargain. Will go again soon. We went with two good friends who go there regularly,but this was our first time.

This was great I its very good home cooked food with large portions and superb value for money there was a huge choice of mains I opted for the roast beef my partner had rump steak both were really good these were followed by a selections of sweets all very good I recommend the apple crumble with ice cream my lady had banoffee pie these were washed down with a nice cup of tea .I cannot speak more highly of this place do not miss it you will not be disappointed.

Excellent home cooked food & friendly staff visit regular ,went today 30/12/15 ,cost for 2 coarse main+ sweet+ coffee...£6.00 the lot , a bargain,no children allowed though.

Friendly and excellent value for money home cooked food.Home cooking good variety staff eager to please and our experience was a real pleasure. My family always suggest we visit when they come down to Lincolnshire.

Been there 3-4 times now never disappointed, nice home cooked food, decent portions, good service and excellent value for money!

Its not posh food but it is the best value meal you can buy anywhere. Home cooked local food served as a good portion. Main course a sweat and a tea or coffee for £5.50 where can you go wrong. Its a homely menu nothing fancy but it is substantial a very good and tasty. I am working my way through the menu but I have to say the steak pie temps me every time along with the Lincolnshire sausages which are locally made. Booking is a must just to be sure you get a table. Good food in a clean and friendly environment what more do you need.

Wonderful food and very good prices at this family run pub/restaurant. A lot of home cooked food and plenty of it. Have been back there on many occasions and have never had a bad meal yet. Best to phone and book as it gets very busy, especially on Fish and Chips night (Friday). Limited parking but can park on the street as well. They have a set meal (main course and desert) for about £5.00 - £6.00) as well as other options. Always have a vegetarian meal choice. Drinks prices are reasonable as well.

We eat here regularly on a Friday at the end of a busy working week. Always good home cooked food, good portions and excellent value for money, don't know how they do it for the price. Also have eaten here with family and is ideal to eat out with our parents as it is good basic food. Service is always with a smile and friendly banter. The surroundings are clean and basic so perhaps not for special occasions but If you want good food and good value can't be beaten.

Had Xmas dinner here three courses for 39.99 we were not disappointed. Fantastic service a real top quality Xmas dinner with all the trimmings. My only complaint would be that portions were a little big. Defo booking again next year.

I have eaten at this place for years and can honestly say I've never had a bad meal. The land lord is definitely a character who can't do enough for you. The Sunday roasts are great value and I don't see the point in cooking. Far easier to take my mum and dad here. I do agree the decor is a little dated but I'm more interested in my food.

Very nice traditional 'pub grub' in a nice Lincolnshire village. Excellent value and extremely friendly owner (Scooby Dooby Doo!). Decor a tad dated but more than made up for by food and service. Had a steak pie which I highly recommend.

Been here a few times for Sunday lunch it's cheap and cheerful staff and service are good. Most of clientele seem to be 75 upwards so not really a young persons scene.

Lunch for four - £22! Great food, great value - again. Always worth stopping off for. Home cooked food delivered with a smile from a good range of very acceptable dishes.

My wife and I eat here often, the food is genuine home cooked and always delicious. At £5.50 for two courses and a cuppa it can't be beaten. If you want five star then this isn't the place but, if you like good food and a barmy landlord and friendly staff this is the place to go.

We called in here on a Sunday on the off chance of a table as we were told it was usually fully booked, a good recommendation in itself, luckily we got a table as this was a truly lovely 'proper grub' Sunday dinner. Portion sizes were plenty and extremely good value for money at just over £6 for 2 courses and a coffee, we were made to feel welcome by the very jovial landlord Brian. Would def recommend and will be returning.

You will never go wrong with a visit to this establishment large portions friendly staff booking is essential as it is a well known eatery for locals last orders 6pm for 7pm close lunches from 11-30 am

This place may be cheap as chips (£5.50 for two courses) but I would avoid again at all costs. It was cheap, tacky and I'd rather spend my next hard-earned £5.50 at the nearest macdonalds! And the singing owner was annoying to say the least!

We often go for lunch on a Saturday and always order steak, it's cooked to perfection, as is all the food, most of which is home made.It's always well attended which gives you an idea of it's popularity and you will need to book if you go on a Sunday.The owner and head waiter, (Brian) is a real character who welcomes you like a long lost friend and will attend to your every need in his own very special imitable way!!As for value, where else can you get a 2 course meal and a tea or coffee for £5.50 - I don't know how he makes a profit.

we eat there often,and the food the is amazing,all homemade,nothing fancy,the home made pies are lovely,done in lovely gravy,and stunning pastry,the gammon and home made curry,s again lovely,all done at a reasonable price,and the tea time, time, is just right for us, coming home from work,am astonished at andy w, report,he obviously has not taste in real home cooked food, Every sunday they over a 100 people in,and the meat is so tender,we never get that in other places,the desserts are simple homemade sponges and crumbles,and an array of homemade cheese cakes to die for,lunch time is all ways busy,and the staff are so helpful,this place deserves alot more credit than those other two people have written,will be going there again on sunday,lovely,

go there regularly,home cooked food at its best, superb sunday lunches,and mid week food.proper chips,proper food

Popped in on the way back from Lincoln.. Food was Ok, but you leave smelling of fat! Staff were very polite.

This place is just from another dimension, its more like a transport cafe than a pub, very cheap, very tacky, and with no atmosphere at all, the food is on a par with a supermarket cafe, but with added 'service' from the Diana Dors like waitress/manager. We finished our meals at approx 8.00pm and fancied a drink in the bar, only to be told it was shutting, on a Saturday night!As already mentioned, this place is like a comedy sketch about naff eating in the 1970's.

Been there for Sunday lunch two or three times, home prepared and cooked food, generally a choice of turkey, lamb or beef with all the trimmings together with a choice of puddings ranging from ice cream, home made cheese cakes through to hot puddings with custard.When you consider the price, two courses plus coffee for £6:50 its amazing value, the only downside is that the restaurant feels a little cafe wish which is why I have only rated it 4 star but if your looking for quality food at a reasonable price I don't think you will be disappointed.You do need to book though, especially for Sunday lunch.Oh and as has been said I have never seen a fly in the place.

This restaurant opens for two sittings, one for lunch and one for early dinner, finishing before 7pm and anyone that has visited during these times will know that it is packed most days and booking is advised.The food is all genuine home made fare, with generous portions of fresh vegetables and is very reasonably priced as the fixed price includes main, dessert and tea/coffee.The staff are friendly and the meals we have had there have been good, I can recommend the chicken pie especially.The layout and lighting are the only bad points, don't let this put you off as it is well worth it for a home cooked meal. The previous reviewer mentioned notices about flies but this is an agricultural area and anyone living in this part of the country knows how bad the flies have been this year, on two visits we have not seen one fly inside so their efforts must be working.
