Riverside Inn in West Lindsey

Stayed locally for a holiday and went for a meal and drinks on our last night in the area. Friendliest pub - Lisa and Daz make you feel very at home. We both had the Chilli - home made and amazing selection of sides included - rice, garlic bread, nachos with cheese sour cream and jalapenos. Real fire in the bar so stayed in there to eat. As someone else said a bit like going to your favourite Aunties. The pub also has a steak grill and would love to go back and try this out too. The meals are very reasonable in price - but the fact it is all good home cooking makes it special. Drinks pretty much standard pub prices. It is the service that sets them apart from the average.

Really lovely pub I’m proud to call my local. Good uncomplicated food, nice people and atmosphere, and we’ll be going back for more soon. We even enjoyed a bottle of Shiraz on the house!

I think you would be hard pressed to find a friendlier welcome than that which we received at the Riverside Inn last weekend. We parked our campervan overnight in the large carpark by the cycle path after finding it on searchforsites. We went in the pub for something to eat at 7pm only to be told that the kitchen finished serving at 6. Lisa, the landlady, overheard our conversation about being parked up for the night and immediately offered to cook us something. We both had steak and ale pie, chips and peas followed by sticky toffee pudding. Both of which were fantastic. Proper pies, stuffed full of meat, proper home made chips and perfect toffee pudding. What a treat. Prior top leaving for the night, Lisa offered to cook us breakfast the next morning and we jumped at the chance. So at 9 the next morning we had perfect full English breakfasts to set us up for the days cycling. It was like being at your aunties. We could have stopped and chatted all day but we had to get off (with some cakes to keep us going) and on our bikes. Lisa and Daz were perfect hosts and we would recommend the Riverside Inn without reservation.

I went to the Riverside Inn on a Sunday with my Brother in Law and Sister and 2 Old Friends.The same Group had been 2 Weeks previously and wanted to go again.On both Occasions we had Booked a Table for 4.30pm so on both Days we had taken advantage of the Local Scenery to go for a Days Walk First.The Pub is Dog Friendly.On the First Sunday their was a Choice of 4 Starters,4 Roasts and 4 Puddings.On the 2nd Sunday their was a Choice of 3 Starters,5 Main Courses and 3 Puddings.The Deal is 2 Courses for £15 or a Main Course for £12.95.With either Deal you get a Free Glass of Wine or a Free Cup of Coffee or Tea.The Food was Lovely and all of the Vegetables were Fresh.All of the Staff were Friendly and Helpful and the Wait for Food was Fine.If you want their is a Selection of Fresh Cakes to choose from.Myself and all of my Group would Happily go again.

Oh wow - proper home cooked meal'made from scratch! Amazing lunch. Vegetarian and meat options. Friendly staff, good service and fantastic Sunday lunch.

Found a hidden gem while on a bike ride down the railway cycle track from Woodhall! We was staying in Woodhall for the weekend and it’s a lovely ride down the cycle track. Stopped off and straight away got greeted by the staff, who were very polite and couldn’t do enough for us. We ordered the riverside ploughman’s and a beetroot and feta salad. Beautiful!! Beautifully presented home baked cakes were also on offer. Huge selection of gins and regularly changed cask ales. Highly recommend to anyone that may be in the area.

4 of us came here for Lunch on Thursday 1st July and what a disappointment, why did we ignore the slating review made by someone else? On arrival the “chef” and 2 other staff were sat fagging it, on full view to arriving customers, at the side door (should have turned around then)!The service was a complete joke, we were the only ones ordering but 30 mins after we ordered were informed there was no ham for the sandwich and ploughman’s we ordered! They offered Chicken as an alternative - big mistake! Another 35 mins before the food arrived and the brown bread we’d ordered came as granary, which one of our party can not tolerate! Also the chicken was out of a packet, the stuff that tastes artificial with the texture of something like mush! When informed at point of payment we were told “you should have mentioned it to the waiter” We did!!!How this place stays in business is beyond me and how they cope with more than 1 group at a time is a mystery - expect to eat crap food and wait forever for it! And as the previous “moaner” pointed out the toilets are definitely “minging”Overall, 2nd worse experience in nearly 3O yrs of pub dining, you’ve been warned!

We stayed in our camper overnight in the pub car park and experienced the best customer service we have ever had. On arrival, the landlady gave us her card in case we needed anything and said if we needed blankets or hot water bottles then she could provide them. Three real ales on, served with a smile and the offer of breakfast was too kind to refuse. Next day and we ate breakfast in the gazebo. I didn’t know mushrooms on toast could taste that good! My husbands breakfast cob was filled with bacon and sausage. Again friendly service, even giving my little one a chocolate bar for the journey (after checking with me first). First class work Lisa, we will be back.

It's the first time I've been to this pub for a few years and I was pleasantly surprised. The new owners took over in November 2019 and having being tipped off by our neighbours when they re-opened after lockdown it looks like they are doing a great job. It's in a cracking location right by the River Witham on the Water Rail Way cycle / walking path (Sustrans Route 1) between Woodhall Spa and Lincoln. We had a couple of drinks and a late lunch around 3.30 PM. The beer (Geen King IPA) was excellent. As we'd cycled there and were really hungry we ordered a couple of sharing platters thinking we could manage one each. Blimey. Be warned......they were huge portions! We made it through both, but only just. Nachos were great as were the cheesy chips with mushrooms. They've really though about how to cater for walkers and cyclists as they do food from 10.00 AM (breakfast end at 12.00) through until 9.00 PM during the Summer and have a lovely selection of cakes too for afternoon tea / snack. If you are cycling or walking along this section of Sustrans Route 1 this is a must stop over! Really impressed! I wish them well.

Stayed the night using Britstops. We got there late and had a drink. Really naturally friendly family. Went off to sleep and returned the next morning for coffee at 10. Again, lovely genuinely friendly people. Nothing seemed too much bother. Peaceful park up by river, nice little walk too. Lovely location, will visit again if we're passing.

Ok. Lovely outside garden which was beautiful in the afternoon sun.Seemed to be a more limited menu than they show online, but I suppose that’s to be expected. Family run. Everyone seemed friendly enough.Food fair at best. Steak baguette was full of gristle, but the dog enjoyed those bits. Wasn’t cooked the way it was requested. Nacho sharer was a decent enough size, but as with most places, they only put cheese on top, where as it should be layered with the nacho chips.£15 for that and 2 soft drinks seemed fair too.

Lovely place , owners and staff . Had food and drink in the garden on a warm evening , couldn’t fault anything.

I would just like to say what a Wonderful Place the Riverside Inn is and reply to the Previous Comment. The Toilets are lovely and Clean so I don’t know we’re this persons comments are coming from, also the Bar Staff don’t Drink Behind the Bar at any time as it is not Permitted so that is Very Untrue, The Riverside Inn is a Lovely Clean Pub. As for the Swearing (In The Bar Area) it is a Bar what do you Expect?? The locals are allowed to speak as they choose it is a Pub After all, I’ve been to the Riverside Inn many times and it is a Great Place to Eat and Drink, And the Locals are Friendly and Welcoming People. As for the (Shameless) Comment you Obviously have Watched this Programme so your Obviously Used to the Swearing so that’s a Bit Hypocritical don’t you think?? Anyway as I was Saying The Riverside Inn is a Lovely Friendly, and CLEAN Pub. We will Definitely Be Back. See you Soon.

Absolute shambles no interest in punters just themselves drinking heavily behind the bar went for a family meal on the way back to Wragby. Toilets were minging too. My 5 year old came home swearing due to hearing it in the restaurant.Wouldn't bother going again unless I was looking for a casting in shameless.

Great traditional village pub , just been taken over , food lovely and well worth the money , definatley go again

Stopped here on boat for a Sunday dinner as been told food is excellent. We was so surprised how nice the pub is and friendly. Guy behind bar . The dinner was cooked to perfection. Will deffo be a regular stop .

Gran pub comida fantástica muy barata también. Estamos en el río atracando durante la noche. Bromeando, dije: puedes desayunar. Por supuesto, le responderé si lo quiere. El pan de Eggy, etc. lo entregará al barco. Qué chico. He estado algunas veces ahora. Siempre bienvenido. Lugar agradable. Visitará muchas veces

I often go canoeing on various stretches of the River Witham, one fave stretch being Bardney to Tattershall Bridge. This pub is ideally placed for a quick pint en route, and we've found them friendly and very helpful -- when a friend got a puncture in his inflatable kayak and we had to stop at their moorings to assess the situation, we found puncture repair kits on sale at £1.50 in the pub, which saved his bacon! Beer and food are good, and they're open when the one on the other bank never seems to be. Lovely garden to sit in while drying off!

Arrived on 18th March 2017 bin our motorhome, hoping for a nice meal and a walk by the river, but notice on the door said "closed until further notice".

Lo más encantador de nuestra visita a la Riverside Inn fue el maravilloso, gente simpática - incluyendo el anfitrión, John.Por desgracia, llegamos una tarde de jueves, cuando (como ya sabíamos) comidas no estaban disponibles. No fue problema, ya que había mucha comida en nuestra autocaravana (hospedar gratis bajo el régimen britstops). La cerveza era buena, la gente encantadora que nos sentimos que estábamos entre viejos amigos.Al día siguiente, cuando salí de la autocaravana por un café y un tubo, llamado John alegremente a decir que el desayuno estaba listo, si queríamos. Y cómo era una satisfactoria desayuno inglés tradicional en un enérgico enero mañana! Fue sólo entonces me di cuenta el pub tenía una Union Jack vuela fuera. Parecía absolutamente apropiado.

Only popped in for lubrication on a river walk. Landlord very friendly and chatty. Great pint (or 4) Have booked table for next week after looking at the menu. Can't wait

Fantastic food & drink. Had a couple of meals there whilst on holiday. Local people are so friendly. Had a fab couple weeks there. Beautiful area.

At long last, they once again have a decent friendly landlord!! Just started up with the food again and it's lovely. A lovely place to spend a sunny afternoon chilling.

Este pub tiene a reabrir sus puertas bajo nueva dirección y sólo recientemente empezaron a servir comidas de nuevo. Fuimos el otro día para el almuerzo y nos pareció que el menú sea variado y las porciones de buen tamaño: en general, la comida fue muy buena. Sus planes para expandir el sonido menú muy emocionante y esperamos a comer allí de nuevo en el futuro. Para aquellos que quieren una comida más ligera, hay una gran variedad de sandwiches y el bar tiene tres cervezas de barril de las bombas de mano. En un mediodía luminoso y soleado era un lugar muy agradable que todos disfrutamos.

Preciosa zona cerca de un río. donde el propietario del bar se acercó estaba ocupado sirviendo a uno de sus clientes que estaba usando el idioma más espantoso. El propietario sólo me miró muy avergonzado, se encogió de hombros y permaneció en servicio.

Visited today for lunch which was all freshly cooked and delicious! Very friendly and we and our dog were made very welcome!

Had a great meal and the surroundings were lovely. There was choice for vegetarians, but it is worth ruining before and requesting preferences. Would definitely return.

Recently taken on by John and Bev the food is amazing. Fresh local produce superbly cooked fresh to order this is going to be a fantastic place to visit and being local to us we're not going to be out of the place. Cozy friendly atmosphere I would highly recommend :-)

Great little pub with parking for the cycle trail The cycle trail is a disused railway so no cars and dog friendly
