Sylvs coffee shop in North Kesteven

We came across this Cafe while on a long leisure Bike ride, we had no intention of food until we saw it and it tempted us to call by. My partner popped in make sure we could sit by the window so we could keep an eye on the bikes outside, the lady was very accommodating and very welcoming. First impressions great and a lovely touch on the menus with a slogan of something like no strangers there, just friends, I really liked that. The menu was very good with plenty of choice and pricing as most similar establishments. Very clean place with a warm, friendly atmosphere. I work within customer service industry, and this place is spot on with customer service, superb, quick, super friendly !! A few locals were in at the same time and how nice to see such friendly service on first name terms, we didn’t feel out of place or anything, from entering to leaving, we felt welcomed and comfortable. We ordered two cooked breakfasts and two pots of tea, the lady asked us if we would like mugs or pots so we said whichever…. We received mugs and how nice to receive a good sized mug, Some cafes you get such a small size mug, I must say this place you get quality aswell as quantity, The breakfasts arrived and how delicious they looked!! The Boston sausage was to die for, first time trying it and it was bursting with flavour, so delicious. I can honestly say we will be back sometime in the future, we will probably plan a bike ride again in the area just so we can visit hahaha Thank you for such a great breakfast and service, Highly recommended

Stopped here for lunch while on the way to Lincoln. Lovely staff, food very nice & good value. Will visit again when in the area.

Looking for a good, tasty, hearty breakfast? Look no further. Sylv's café is the place! And the staff are lovely too.

Stopped here for breakfast before our journey home after staying in Heckington. There was plenty on the menu to choose from. Staff were so friendly we could have been locals. Sylv was such a lovely lady. Service was quick and food was tasty. Just glad this isn't our local as we would be huge :-) however would certainly come again on our next visit Thank you

This little Café provides many good things, lovely friendly staff, delicious tasty food, and the plates are hot (which one doesn't always find elsewhere). Great place for breakfast.

lovely staff very friendly and helpful. Easily accommodated a family of 10. The breakfast baps were lovely.

I’ve heard lots of folk saying how good Sylv’s Sunday Roasts are, however I normally cook my own. Thanks to this pesky winter bug I decided to see if what I’ve been hearing was true, so I ordered myself a Roast Beef Dinner today with Apple Pie and Custard as a dessert treat. The lunch arrived piping hot, served with a lovely smile and a jolly chat. After sampling the offering I can confirm that all I’ve heard is, in fact, correct. The food was absolutely delicious, well presented and perfectly portioned. It is also excellent value for money by the way, so winner all round in my book. What I should have done was take a before and after photo but I had demolished my dinner before that thought came into my head. Than you Sylv, I really enjoyed my dinner today.

Called in for breakfast whilst working in the area. Delicious breakfast and lovely, friendly staff 😁

Four of us on a long distance bike ride from Nottingham called in. What a fantastic welcome and reception from Sylv herself. Excellent food and drink at very reasonable prices too.

Lovely service and food, Went for a breakfast (which were great portions for a good price) We were greeted at the door and seated, all staff were incredibly polite and clearly cared about the local and new customers, The coffee was lovely (I'm very picky about coffee) and the food was great, Everything was served piping hot, staff were happy to change parts of the meals without hassle and incredibly caring. The cakes looked amazing but I was so full that unfortunately I couldn't manage one! Definitely recommend for a lovely meal!

Lovely village location. Easy on street parking outside. Very friendly welcome. Comfy surroundings. Great breakfast. Proper meaty Boston sausages. Great bacon. All the usual trimmings. Served fresh and hot. It may be a little pricier than some places, but the ingredients are better quality. Not the 0.1% meat sausages, deep fat fried served at some places!! You get what you pay for. Would recommend.

Family Sunday lunch. Good menu choice, generous portions and superbly tasty, would definitely recommend! ‘There are no strangers, only friends we haven’t met yet’ The staff stand by this motto, made to feel very welcome & nothing was too much trouble.

Sylv's was a little oasis after other cafes on the A17 were full. Unpretentious, tasty grub, great value and excellent service. We had sandwiches but others were enjoying fish and chips which looked and smelt lovely. The cakes looked amazing. Thank you, Sylv!

We found Sylvs coffee shop by mistake best mistake we have made. The warm welcome you receive from SYLV herself is lovely, the best breakfast we have had in a while with the best sausage you will taste. NO PLASTIC SAUSAGE HERE. People were also coming in and placing dinner orders for delivery, all homemade. SYLV'S is open 7 days a week from 8:00 am; if you are in the area, go and give it a try; you will not be disappointed. We will definitely be back.

This is the best place for a sausage sandwich ever. I don't know how or what they do but its lovely 👍 the coffee and breakfasts are brilliant also 👌

My nan gets food delivered from here usually once a week (Friday fish and chips). Each day they have specials that are about £6. No delivery charge. Always delivered hot and on plates. Delivery people are lovely and friendly and food fantastic. We have often ordered food from there while I visit. Honestly can't recommend enough. Especially for any elderly or disabled people that might struggle day to day. Have a day off and enjoy someone bringing you a tasty, hot and good value meal. Really fantastic

Visited when our kitchen was being removed and were left with limited facilities. It was a Sunday therefore we chose the Sunday lunch and were impressed all round with the quality of the food and service. We will return again at some point but continue to inform others about this outstanding little cafe. The only negative is that the toilet facilities require updating but could have been done by now.

We only stopped here for refreshments while passing through this village with its spectacular windmill. The café was neat and clean, gave us a good cup of coffee at a reasonable price with courteous and friendly service. Very nice.

Never been before which is a mistake, what an absolute gem of a cafe, staff were just outstanding in their welcome, best sausage sandwich I’ve ever had( proper Lincs sausages), just fantastic 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Call in for breakfast when i am in the area and just love it .Owners so friendly and soon get to know you

My sister and I brought our mum in for tea and cake.mum is now in a wheelchair and we tipped up at a busy time of day. The staff were very friendly and helpful and helped to get mum settled.The lady bought over a selection of cakes for mum to make her choice.Proper mug of tea too will definitely be calling in again

Stopped while traveling through for breakfast.We had a full English which consisted of a good quality sausage, bacon, egg, beans, tinned tomato and toast. Also a cheese toastie which arrived with salad garnish. Finished off with 2 great coffees. All for £10 which was great value and came with friendly speedy service.Just what we needed.

We saw the sign for Heckington on our journey from Yorkshire to the north Norfolk coast. We diverted off out route into the village with a view to getting a bite to eat - very glad we did. Lovely cafe, very clean throughout, welcoming friendly staff, prompt and efficient service. The bacon and eggs baps were very tasty, very fresh bread, bacon and eggs perfectly cooked, tea and coffee piping hot.Can't fault at all, would certainly visit again.

My husband recommended it to me after he had been the day before. Was not disappointed. I chose the omelette and it was yummy. Was jealous of my husband's toast so even ordered a portion for myself. Just need an excuse to return now.

Great café with lovely staff. They perform an important part in the village life. The food is good and wholesome plus good value. They also have a brilliant meals on wheels service used by many in the village.

No es donde indicada en Tripadvisor. De todos modos se encuentra en la plaza en el centro del pueblo. Escuchando a la gente viniendo parece ser bastante el centro del pueblo, muy amable y venidas. feliz La comida era estupenda y el servicio muy amable y familiar. Un buen lugar para mirar alrededor, también hay una micro cervecería cerca. .

Having visited this little cafe`for take-away rolls in the past which were excellent, we thought that as we were passing through we'd try the Sunday lunches, and we weren't disappointed. Choice of turkey, pork or lamb - which we chose, served with boiled & roast potatoes, roast parsnip, Chantanay carrots, cabbage, peas, Yorkshire pudding (don't think they were home made, but still OK), and lashings of lovely thick gravy, The plates were so full, I knew I wouldn't manage it all, but hubby made very short work of his and finished off with apple pie & cream for dessert, which he said was also very good.

We were served, very quickly, a really good English breakfast at 2pm! It was well cooked and the sausage was particularly good, locally sourced the chef told us. Great value. Very nice staff too.

i visited Slvs cafe today (25/11/16) and i was very disappointed that one of the cups was dirty and my teapot leaked and there was not any offer to exchange it for a teapot that did not leak . The menu was ripped in half or had fallen out and i had poached eggs on toast with the most pathetic looking bread ever ! (Tesco own value it tasted like ) after that i was charged £6.55 for poached eggs on toast and a cup of tea complete rip off and very disgusted.The member of staff was talking very loudly which is very off putting the man in front of me was very local and they made a big fuss of him yet i got second rate service ( i am not local to Heckington ) but it feels like they treat the locals better than those who do not live in the village .I will not be going back buck your ideas up

Fish and Chips on a Friday, wonderful. Large portions, well cooked. Good atmosphere and food as evidenced by the number of people eating.

Me encontré con esta fabulosa, tradicional café mientras espera una cita tuve que ir a. Huevos escalfados con pan de granero y el mejor capuchino que he tenido! Excelente y amable servicio. Sin duda volveremos!

Och najlepsze angielskie śniadanie jakie jadłem kiedykolwiek! Best in world English breakfast! Huge amount of food! Very tasty! Fair prices! Recommend to anyone who wants to try good English breakfast.

Popped in for a full English and wasn't disappointed. The Olympic breakfast filled me up for the whole day and you can tell good quality food is being cooked here. Staff were brilliant and welcoming. A 5th star would have been achieved had the meals of come out closer together though however this really is only a small issue and if half stars were available it could easily go down as a half loss. Well worth a visit though as Heckington is a lovely big village with lots of nice people who enjoy life a little slower. Take the slight detour the next time you're on the A17, you won't regret it.

Have been here on a couple of Friday nights and can confirm previous reports of excellent fish and chips. Pleasant atmosphere and good price too

We often walk and drive past Sylvs on our way back from our allotment. On this occasion we'd had a very busy day there and called in to book a table for an hour later.Two very satisfied diners following fish and chips and a pot of tea, as it's so close we should go more often.

After a five mile walk in dripping rain we were ready for a hot lunch and pot of tea and we found what we were looking for in Sylv's Coffee Shop in Heckington. It does not look especially inviting from the outside, but there is a pleasant surprise when you step inside together with a warm welcome from the manageress.We ordered fish, chips and garden peas and a plate of pasta with fresh salad. This was very tasty and was followed by a delicious slice of strawberry gateau and dime bar gateau.We washed it all down with a cup of tea, but it did not quite taste the same with long-lasting milk from sachets.The café was very busy and obviously very popular on Fridays for the home-made fish and chips! We will return....

We have been to Sylvs several times now and can report that it is a very friendly and comfy place with excellent food at very reasonable prices. Nothing is too much trouble. It's also lovely to see and hear friendly chatter and laughter from staff as well as customers. An asset to Heckington, well done!

Brilliant little café with lovely food and wonderful staff.Sylv's motto is 'not strangers,just friends we haven't met yet' and she's right too.she also does meals on wheels locally for the elderly.whenever I get a break in calls I like to come here and have a coffee and some food and a friendly welcoming from the staff. A must do if peckish and in the area.

Looking forward to returning for another visit soon. Clean premises, friendly service and great food.

I was working lovely and popped in for breakfast, the food was amazing. tasty and well cooked. the bacon especially was very tasty, the service was friendly an amazing meal for a very cheap price ,

Stopped in Heckington and wanted a lunch we found Sylvs, from the outside did not look much, went inside and it was spacious and very clean with nice tables. The staff were friendly and helpful. We only had a light lunch which we found in expensive and very tasty. The coffee was nice and the position in the centre of the village by the car park is ideal. There was some outside seating in the front. I saw the deserts and looked amazing. This place is Well worth a look if you are passing. (Not far from the A17).

First went to Sylvs 4 years ago and her welcome convinced us that moving there was the right thing to do. We've now become regulars - especially on a Friday for Fish and chips - which I have never liked before! Syvs batter is always crisp and not greasy and the fish never has bones or skin - perfect every time, and don't even start me on the trifle!. Great welcome, lovely staff and you always feel so at home, we even take all are friends and family there now. Most highly recommended.

This is, quite simply, just the best fish and chip supper that exists! The fish is fresh from Grimbsby and is cooked on the premises - no cooking at home and heating up in a microwave here! The chips are hand prepared and cooked while you wait.Added to the excellence of the meal is the friendly and efficient waiting staff and a lovely, friendly atmosphere. The statement on the place mats "There are no strangers here - only friends we have'nt yet met" says all you need to know about this gem of a village cafe.

So helpful to our wheelchair bound friend.Hot tasty and a good selection of meats, real home cooked food.Nothing too much trouble.Will visit again without doubt.Keith, Jane and KathyThank you Sylv and staff

I've been here a number of times, and have always been impressed by the friendliness of the staff and their willingness to accommodate any special request. They're also very patient - I often take my young goddaughter or my elderly nan, both of whom can on occassion be hard work, and we've been wonderfully looked after. I'd better add that the food is pretty good too!

A really great village cafe. Not many tables and always busy so booking is advisable. Lots on the menu and everything I have had is really nice. Fish, chips and mushy peas on a Friday night, £5.50. Can't be beaten, fresh, tasty, not greasy and the best chips there are.Puddings are the only disappointment as aren't home made, but am usually so full then don't have room for one anyway.Try it for yourself.

My wife and I have been eating at Sylv's, for a number of years now - either on our own or in a much larger party of friends and relatives. Sylv and her staff are always obliging and friendly. The menu range is extensive and the standard of cooking is top notch - in particular, the Friday fish and chips must be tasted to be believed and the Sunday roast is such good value for money. We are very lucky to have such an establishment within walking distance in the village.

Well I was well and truly stuffed after the breakfast, excellent value for money, place is spotless and Sylvia is a proper gem. We will be back Paul, Josh &GeorgiaPic posted of the monster brekky check it out folks

We have now been 3 times, have had sandwiches, fish and chips and a Sunday meal. Staff is excellent, very attentive and quick with meals. We highly recommend for just something quick and for that meal that you want to take time to enjoy with the company your with.

This is the best coffee shop/restaurant in the sleaford/heckington area. They have a wide variety of meals, snacks and drinks. Having worked all over the country and visited a lot of coffee shops I found the best service and most friendly and welcoming staff at Sylvs coffee shop. My visits include on a Friday for the best fish and chips around and I also have visited with the family for Sunday lunches as there is a wide variety to choose from. Sylvs coffee shop is the best for quality of food/service and value for money. I would highly recommend this coffee shop to anyone, whether your travelling though the area or live locally.

This is simply the best place in the Heckington area for a variety of meals or just a coffee and a chat. The service is friendly and the food is locally sourced where possible - and cooked to order. We were there for the Christmas Lunch Special - all the trimmings!We are also there for coffee most mornings and it is a hive of friendly activity where locals and first-time visitors alike are made welcome - friends are soon made here.There is a full menu (see the web site) and additional daily specials: the Friday Fish and Chips meal is widely regarded as the best around, both for quality and value for money. Sunday lunches are regularly fully booked.
