Penny Drop Cafe in East Lindsey

Best fish and chips in the area so much so granddaughter wants them for breakfast

We chose the Petwood Hotel as it was close to the Lincolnshire Aviation Hertitage Centre which we were visiting and also because of the link to the Dambusters 617 Squadron. We couldn't have chosen better. The location was excellent and the grounds lovely with some surprising finds. The staff were very nice and helpful. We were in room 315 and yes we could hear the bangs etc. from the kitchen which was a bit annoying but didn't spoil our stay which was for 2 nights. We booked an evening meal for the first night and had the biggest steak and ale pie so beware!! but it was lovely. Breakfast was very nice although the staff were a bit fraught as there had been a wedding the day before so had a lot of guests to serve. The second morning was more peaceful and we could choose off the breakfast menu. We loved looking around the hotel especially the bar which has been left as it was during the war with lots of interesting memorabilia. We would definitely stay here again.

Delivery was extended to a further half hour, making it over 1 hour, although they did let us know all the way.

Visited on Friday evening and the Tables, carpets, bar and even the staff were all filthy. The place needs a really good deep clean! We left our meals as we couldn’t eat them due to being put off by the uncleanliness of the place. Needs shutting down and refurbing.

Only got 2 as bought for me. Fish overcooked due to quality of raw product, thin for cod, chips full of bits, please season mushy peas and curry sauce as once back in car the customer can't, very bland. Disappointing over all. Thanks for owner response and just have a taste of the peas as my sister also thought they were bland, maybe a batch from processor which had Seasoning missing, we also use Tinned mushy peas on our establishment and can be sometimes a bit hit and miss also.
