Olive's Pantry in East Lindsey

Called to eat this year to find it is the middle of being demolished, inflatable bar at the rear at present, could not get answer to if it will be rebuilt, it was a spit and sawdust place but the roasts and other food was good, just hope they do put in a new pub with a very similar menu etc, time will tell.

Stayed here for a couple of nights when we visited the Lancaster Experience nearby. Fantastic atmosphere, Christine, your host was welcoming and really friendly, the rooms were lovely and well equipped with everything you could wish for. The food was excellent and of high end restaurant quality. There is a beautiful garden and easy parking, it was pleasant to sit out during the evening and have a drink, so quiet and peaceful. This is not the usual pub, it functions mainly as a hotel and as a result there are usually only guests about and it's lovely and peaceful.

We went specifically to this venue for breakfast. We ordered different breakfasts and made some changes to one of them with the helpful counter staff. The tea in the tea pot was cold and we took it back for a replacement hot tea pot. The breakfast was brought to us by a member of staff who did not smile or speak. Having ordered extra well done bacon we were surprised to note that it certainly hadn't been even well done. The plates were cold and so was half of the breakfast, the rest of it cooling rapidly. The toast and prepacked butter were placed on the top of the breakfast and we had to use our fingers to try and get them off the top, even though there was nowhere to put them (have they never heard of side plates)? All in all, very poor. Customer care is clearly not a priority.

Excellent lunch of Roast Beef with all the trimmings. Loads of tasty veg - carrots, broccoli, red cabbage, savoy cabbage, new potatoes, roast potatoes and mash, gravy and horseradish. Followed by an excellent choice of puddings, with Gluten Free chocolate sponge and treacle sponge and custard. Sublime! Service was very friendly and efficient. Great choice of beers. Rob enjoyed an extremely good pint of Bass! Highly recommend!

Lovely evening, great food and friendly service... The new menu of pies is simply great and lots to choose from. Suet puddings too. Filling and delicious.
