Pacey's in South Holland

I was introduced to Pacey's when I moved here by a friend who's a Spalding native. Since then, it's become a regular meeting place for us and we always look forward to the announcement of each week's cheesecake flavour! Can't speak highly enough of the quality of the baking and friendliness of the staff - you really get the sense here that it's not just a café, but a real cornerstone of the community.

Well done, Pacey's. My friend and I visited at lunchtime. She needs a dairy free meal but was very taken with the pork on the special's board - but it came creamy mash and vegetables with butter . The knowledge of the waitress and the desire to make the meal suitable for her (she offered to have something else!) was wonderful. The alterations they suggested to make it suitable for her was very much appreciated and the food was delicious. Thank you

Great little local cafe, good service, lovely staff, relatively low waiting times and good meals. Good place for people of all ages and diets. The bakery is also top tier. Only downside is that it often becomes full at peak times so you have to be wary of that, but you should expect that from a small place like this. Overall just a lovely place with great food and drink.

Lovely atmosphere great food, good prices warm friendly staff ,making sure everything is perfect, will definitely visit again, lite lunches and full meals available

This was our third visit and each one has been exceptional, with both the quality of the food and outstanding service. On each occasion we were looked after by Lisa who was quite exceptional.

We had an excellent afternoon tea (at lunchtime) for four people. We had individual cake stands with six different finger sandwiches, scone and cream, three cakes and a trifle, and a choice of drinks. All very good and excellent value at a very reasonable price.

Been a few times. The food is always amazing. Staff are so polite and very friendly. Amazing service food came out very fast and it was so yummy. Will be coming back very soon.

Had a lovely lunch here today, one main meal and one from the specials board, both really enjoyed what we had, only slight criticism was that the lady in charge of seating us seemed stressed out and rushed which made us feel a little uncomfortable so when we finished eating we left straight away instead of sitting for a while as we usually would. I know the stresses of working in a cafe but it’s best to try and hide it from the customer best you can. Had the service been better I’d have given 5/5.

Been in here before but never sat down in a meal before. Met up with my friend this morning for breakfast and a Catch up. We had toast and jam a cup of tea and a hot chocolate. Was very impressed and well worth the money once a month for a catch up. We will defo be returning staff very helpful we were served by Tania Smith who we both already know from elsewhere. She was very helpful and made the experience very enjoyable

Lovely cakes, polite staff, very homely, prices are reasonable and would definitely come back with my family next time

Ordered the 10” Victoria Sponge celebration cake to celebrate my birthday with work colleagues . It’s was beautifully decorated, light, fluffy and very tasty, it went down rather quickly with a cup of tea.

Well Paceys, you have done it again, an outstanding tea. It will last all day, as you did on our last gift from our daughter, Joanne. There's so much and variety in the box, not the same as before but just as well produced. Lovely and would recommend it anybody. Doubt if you could manage it all at the café but they'll probably give a "doggie bag". Nice one Paceys

Just dropped in on Saturday morning for some rolls and cakes for our road trip. The rolls were soft and fresh along with the home made flapjacks.. would definitely recommend

Thank you Sharon and team for coming to our rescue.We are in lockdown and can’t go out to the shops and it was wonderful to be able to order delicious treats as well as some basics.The delivery driver was great also.

This is the first time I visited here and wont be the last. The food was really good, lots of choice something to suit everyones palate. The prices are good and the staff very friendly and helpful. It looks deceptive that only downstairs to sit if you look in the window but there are plenty of tables upstairs. Recommend a visit here.

Friendly staff, quick service and good food. I had the gammon. There were 2 big rashers which were just a little bit tough but not such that it spoiled the meal. The accompanying mash and vegetables were very nice, especially the cauliflower cheese. Hope to visit again.

a very nice clean place it as eating places both outside the back as well as 3 tables down stairs and more seating up stairs the staff are very good and the food is cookt fresh and well worth the short waiti am very impressed with the food,staff and how nice and cleen it is a very good menu to choose from we will be back soon must give this Cafe a Excellent Marks

As you look in the window of this shop, you would think it was just a Bakery but when you enter and see the tables and chairs downstairs, you realise it is a restaurant too and the flight of stairs takes you to the main restaurant. It's homely and cosy, can be noisy at lunch times, but that is a good sign as it means the food is good so people keep returning. My husband and I don't eat anywhere else when we are in Spalding. The food is hot, the staff are very pleasant and friendly and there is plenty to choose from. We highly recommend it.

We've just been to this excellent eatery/bakers again for our breakfasts and once again were very impressed. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was, even though it was very busy, really nice. A special mention must be made of the fantastic cakes. The Belgian buns are absolutely exceptional. We are never disappointed with this establishment and look forward to returning. Well done everyone. Keep up the good work.

ok a very first time at this Cafe found a very clean place a very warm welcome very good staff and the food was cooked fresh and came to our table nice and hot well set out on the plate and a smile from the staff there is only 3 tables down stairs 2 tables set for 2 people and 1 table set for 4 people as i can not climb stairs it was good to see a empty table the very friendly staff was great nothing was a prob and they made time to a little chat other seating area upstairs in all we my support worker and i was so very impressed with both the great food the cafe and the great staff i give this very clean great cafe a vote of EXCELLENTS P.S. WE WILL BE BACK SOON

Just returned stuffed from a delicious afternoon tea at Paceys. Plenty of sandwiches, beautiful scone with jam and cream and gorgeous little cakes. Highly recommend booking and go ready for a feast! Lovely extremely helpful staff and unlimited tea and coffee.

I have just been fortunate enough to enjoy one of the best breakfasts I have had for a long long time. All the ingredients were cooked to absolute perfection. The service was excellent and it was quite clear that the waitress enjoyed her job, as nothing was too much trouble for her, even though it was a very busy service. There was a really nice ambience in the dining room upstairs.The americano coffee was second to none. How nice it is to see such a lovely traditional bakery doing so well, and I can see why. We were both very impressed with our experience, and cannot wait to return. Keep up the good work.

Family-run business, tucked away round the back of Lloyds Bank. Pacey's has been open for a good many years and has now morphed into an eat-in or take-out bakery & coffee/restaurant. I highly recommended the take-away breakfast baps with hot sausages/bacon/eggs etc or eat in with a selection of sandwiches and a cup of tea. Excellent!

Just been for the valentines afternoon tea. The table had rose petals and a rose in a glass, it all felt very special! Even the sandwiches were cut into hearts, there were chocolate strawberries, heart shortbread, brownie cubes with the pot of tea. I have been for a lot of afternoon teas and this was one of the best, I was very impressed!

Lovely, hidden gem, with a varied menu of food freshly prepared.

Meeting friends for lunch we noticed that the café was quite busy with shoppers and others like ourselves meeting for a catch-up. We ordered our food - jacket potatoes all round as the café were also offering the Christmas menu.

Always good food and service. Only time we go elsewhere for lunch is on Mondays when they are closed.

First time here where my family met for lunch. Great food, value and service. Will definitely return during my next visit to Spalding.

I had not been to Pacey's for years but a friend arranged for us to go for a coffee one morning. The courtyard was a lovely surprise with lovely flowers and seating area tucked down the side of this beautiful cake shop. The upstairs restaurant was well decorated and clean and the food was very reasonable and lots of it. Good waitressing service. I would recommend this little shop.

This was my 2nd visit. Great place,great food and staff very good.i would recommend and I will be going again.

We ordered four hot drinks and four cakes. Drinks took twentyfive minutes to arrive and only did so when we reminded staff that we were still waiting for our order. (It wasn't busy) Had to go to counter again to say we had ordered cakes, which they had forgotten. Cakes arrived a few minutes later, although one of them was the wrong cake. All pretty inefficient really. If we hadn't already paid, we would probably have left.

Mum and myself often pop in on a Saturday for lunch and always get a nice welcome even from the kitchen staff as we walk up the stairs. They have a good variety to choose from, from light bites, full meals to afternoon tea. Everything I’ve had has always been fresh, cooked and presented well. There bread has always had a unique taste of its own it’s so good. Today I had the quiche it came with side salad, coleslaw, a pot of salad cream and two slices of gorgeous soft baked bread. Thoroughly enjoyed it. For desert I had one a cream bun which are amazing the cream they make also has a taste of its own, however I was a little disappointed with the amount of cream that was in it, more cream please!

Went in this morning to avail of the bacon bap + coffee deal for £2.95 as my colleagues in the office have done before. Ordered 2 baps and 2 coffees, paid £5.90, nice chap brought the baps from upstairs, at which point they were confiscated by a lady on the till, and I was told that I had been charged for rolls not baps. Chap disappeared upstairs, and said lady followed him, and brought me back 2 little rolls, with a rasher of bacon in each. Nothing like what we've had before, and certainly the dearest mini-bacon roll I've ever had (it was very nice though, hence 2 stars instead of 1). Won't be going back.

I popped in for a coffee and decided to get breakfast because it was so lovely and welcoming. The food was very nice and the overall atmosphere relaxing. I then treated myself to some local bread which was delicious. I will be going again!

My friend & I love going here for breakfast & today was no exception what a joy. I am here on holiday from Cyprus having moved out there 3 months ago. I had an appointment at the hospital so I wanted some Dutch courage. So pleased we called in staff friendly & attentive

Fabulous food, choice of sandwich fillings, lots of fancy cakes, more than enough to eat - we were given a box to take home the cake we didn't eat! Very friendly and helpful staff.

Visited with family for an afternoon tea treat.

Had very nice sausage and egg in a brown roll and latte today. Very comfortable little cafe and helpful staff too

Great to see local people keeping local businesses alive , great service , friendly knowledgeable staff , great range of products to purchase , very good Breakfast , all locally sourced . Keep up the good work

Went for lunch today. Really good choice on the menu with speciality coffees and loose leaf teas. Had homemade soup with a sandwich, English Breakfast Tea & a brownie. Food was served quickly by friendly staff. Soup was lovely and sandwich very tasty. I had Brie & cranberry on their yummy homemade bread. It was all great value, especially the tea. Got almost 4 cups out of the pot. Best bit was the Chocolate Brownie. Sooo chocolatey & gooey inside. Perfect for a chocoholic like me.

Been lucky enough to have not one, two BUT three cream teas here with various friends in the last few months!!

We visit regularly, at least once a week. The breakfast are a real treat, sausages & bacon come from a local butcher. Cafetières of coffee are ideal for two to share and you always get a small taster of cake on the side which is a lovely touch.

Coffee and a Salad & Ham Bap a break during a shopping trip to the lovely Market Town of Spalding on Saturday, a very good market.

Susan & I called in Pacey's for lunch whilst out shopping, we had a superb light breakfast sausage, bacon, tomato, beans, egg & mushrooms served with a round of toast, delicious for a fiver. 2 tables up a couple of women were having an afternoon tea it looked lovely 3 tiers of sandwiches & cakes for £9 with tea

I found myself in Spalding on a Saturday morning and decided to have breakfast at Pacey’s as I had read some very positive reviews on here and was enticed by the historic nature of the establishment. On arrival I was seated upstairs, as the ground floor space is limited. As a vegetarian I had been hoping to select a vegetarian breakfast option from the menu, but sadly wasn’t to be as it didn’t exist.

For a family with young children this is ideal, staff exceedingly helpful and friendly, food is good and has a lovely atmosphere.

Nipped in for a cup of tea and a bacon and egg bap good quality bacon fast service just what Doctor ordered

Forget Costa, Starbucks & Gregs this is the place for an excellent coffee,food and all things in a bakery. We need more of this type establisment in Spalding. Congrats to the owner.

Dropped into Paceys for pot of tea and a savoury whilst my wife was having hair done. Staff very pleasant and very helpful. Sat downstairs, tables very clean. Pot of tea arrived in good time. Most welcome on a chilly day. Whilst sat drinking tea, quite impressed that Paceys were kept busy with sales over the counter. Quality of cakes and bread extremely good. I also had a piece of quiche which again was obviously freshly made that morning. Other food being served also looked very good.

This is the most amazing bakery for miles around. They bake the most wonderful bread and have a delicious array of cakes and sometimes sweets which can be taken away. They of course have an eat-in cafe which serves freshly home-made snacks using their own bread and rolls which of course has been baked on the premises. They sell small home-made christmas cakes at Christmas time which are just the right size for a couple or small family. I wish they had another branch nearer my home.

Food was average, staff were very friendly but the restaurant is very cramped our table was very close to others so no personal space

We had taken lunch in town and were looking for somewhere where we could have a cup of coffee outside (we had a little dog with us), or somewhere we could take her in with us. We found the courtyard here. Seating areas outside cafes are few and far between on Spalding and it was nice to find this one at Pacey's. There was a sign saying pets were welcome. Coffee came with a small piece of cake to taste, which encouraged us to buy a piece!

Met up with fiends for lunch before we went to the cinema. Super breakfast & cappuccino & a reasonable price too

All home made products on site. Wonderful selection, hot/cold lunches, takeouts all served with a smile. Comfortable seating upstairs to partake your afternoon tea in. Booking required for this. Just brilliant home made bread and cakes made in a coal fired oven!

Called into Spalding to do some shopping, I arranged to meet a friend for a coffee I suggested Pacey's as we like to try different places, I had been here before with my son & some other friends earlier in the year, but my friend hadn't been in here we went upstairs & we got a good morning from all the staff we encountered which I think is a good start to keeping a business running. We opted to have a breakfast as it sounded appealing & for the price too. We were both impressed by the food, drinks & the attentiveness of the staff. Well worth a try if you haven't been, but bare in mind for disabled people you will have to sit downstairs.

I was given a beautiful gluten free afternoon tea. The sandwiches were fresh, with a choice of fillings. The cake selection excellent, lovely light fruit scones as well. To top it off I was given a box to take uneaten treats home. Wonderful discreet service and very pleasant staff. Thankyou all.

Make sure you arent in a rushwhen yoy come here!very slow service!tea cake not toasted enough and synthetic/margarine tasting scone.however,americano was very nice.

Lovely place to eat, never had a bad meal here, have a roll for my dinner most days. Everyone is always friendly. Always recommend to my friends.

Was not expecting to see French onion soup on the menu, but was very impressed with it. Biggest problem was being spoilt for choice with cakes!!!

Lovely, long established, local café & bakery with fresh bread/cakes & a good selection of sandwiches & other food plus hot tasty coffee. Friendly staff.

Visit regularly for breakfast or a cake and coffee. Freshly cooked with local ingratiates. Cakes are from the bakers downstairs and are great

I never realised there was upstairs dining here so it was a nice surprise when my brother took me here one afternoons. The food was good but the waitress need more confidence.

My Wife and I were on a day trip to Spalding and found Paceys while wandering around the town. This place is recommended for it's very friendly atmosphere, excellent service and very reasonable prices. The cheese and mushroom omelette I had was very very good. My wife tried the double cheeseburger with home made chips and was equally impressed. They even do a really good cuppa! They do afternoon teas too but we had to resist, - at least on this occasion but we will be back!

Popped in on recommendation. Lovely atmosphere, tastefully decorated, clean, comfortable and delicious food with quick service! Will definitely come again! Thanks!

I've heard other talk about Paceys and thought we would give a try. There are some lovely cakes. Good menu. Staff friendly. Good to find somewhere different from the same old every week.

This is such a nice place, set away from the High Street, Always a great selection of cakes, or if you wish you can sit in.

It's nice to find a homely eatery their toasted tea cakes are enormous and you get a portion of jam as well, the menu is fairly good, savouries are brilliant, sticky buns gorgeous, don't be put off by the small down stairs there is an upstairs as well.

Maybe I am to much of a traditionalist, but they should have changed the name, because this bears no resemblance whatsoever to the original bakers.

Pacey's have been famous for their bread for numerous years, unfortunately the Pacey family retired. Luckily someone bought the business and re-opened the bakery, but expended that food side of the business with downstair and upstair seating. Highly recommended is the English Breakfast with unlimited cups of tea... Great service from staff that put you first and excellent food. Highly recommended. Don't forget to buy some of their rolls to take home when you leave....

this is a lovely clean and tidy bakery and the sausage rolls are to die for . the bread is a little pricey but good value for money .

My son chose to go here for lunch, we have never been here before but that will change it was delightful, the staff were very friendly, a special mention to Lynda who we had met before in another cafe, she was very attentive & seemed to be enjoying her work, a pleasure to see.

Since being under new ownership, Im delighted to say, that the traditional Pacey's taste in baking is still there. Infact if anything its better than before...great suasage rolls, and wow...their bread buns are the BEST EVER!!!!!!

Beautiful bread very pleasant snack love the sandwiches and the cakes very friendly staff atmosphere is ok Only down fall is the stairs

Recently reopened with new management who are doing a wonderful job.

Myself and my husband popped in here today and had the breakfast. Two rashers of bacon, 2 good quality Lincolnshire sausages, fried egg, beans, mushrooms and a grilled tomato. Two rounds of toast with jam and a pot of tea. All cooked to perfection and for £5.95 excellent. Only available till 11 am. Many tables available they have upstairs as well and a courtyard outside. This place also sells filled rolls and cream cakes as it is actually a bakery. So if you want a top notch good value breakfast here is the place

nipped into Paceys yesterday to grab my rolls for the week :) staff were friendly and helpful and I even treat myself and my partner to a filled roll and a cake or two each. Go Paceys!!!!!!

Splendid bread, buns, pies, sausage rolls,sandwiches, cakes! Probably the finest almond tarts ever!! Oh, don't forget the cream buns. Friendly, professional service

This bakery has been part of Spalding's heritage for years and it's great to see it back. Bread is being made to the same old recipe and a huge wonderful selection of cakes.
