Take A Gander in North Lincolnshire

Went here for our friends surprise birthday meal and the food was lovely. The sad went above and beyond by adding little details to make it extra special, from taking a group photo outside to playing happy birthday. We couldn’t of asked for a better team of staff to be on that day

Yet again, a fantastic evening. Food was exceptional, compliments to the chef, and the staff were excellent. Nothing was too much trouble, made sure we had everything we needed. Made sure we had drinks and checked in on us to make sure our food was ok. Honestly could not ask for better. Lovely environment, friendly and helpful. Will be back very soon. A definite must visit :)

My husband and I called in for tea; we were very hungry. I ordered fillet of beef stroganoff with broccoli side and my husband had blade of beef. I couldn’t taste a drop of brandy, mustard or paprika in my stroganoff; it was more like gravy. I put plenty of black pepper on to make it more like a pepper sauce and the broccoli was very hard; I like my veg al dente but it was inedible. My husband’s tasted boiled and had little flavour throughout and didn’t eat his broccoli either. We were asked if everything was ok when the waitress collected our plates and I said it was just ok but we paid £50 for the privilege and won’t be going back

What a beautiful meal we both had. Came here for a Sunday roast, didn’t book, came at 1pm and we managed to get a table. Great relaxed vibe about the place. Staff all friendly and helpful. I had a roasted belly pork dinner & my partner had the turkey. All meat nice and tender and full of flavour. Accompanied by a quality Yorkshire pudding, roasties, parsnips, carrots, broccoli and a stuffing ball with full bodied gravy. Attention to detail and flavour was evident throughout the whole plate. Well worth a visit

Extremely bad experience. Order taken for drinks which arrived 20 mins later, after chasing twice. Food ordered and took an extra ordinarily long time for 2 of 4 meals to arrive, 6/7 mins for the next meal to arrive and the 4th meal had, in fact, been given to another table. We were recompensed but, in addition to the restaurant being very cold, a disappointing evening was had.

Brilliant meal. We had the 3 courses and all of us had different. We all thoroughly enjoyed all our food and left totally stuffed. Lovely staff. Great food. Nice restaurant. We will be back.

First time I have been here for Sunday Lunch with my wife and 2 Daughters as, the reviews were very good. We ordered our drinks and Sunday lunch, followed by Desserts. The dinner probably took about an hour to be served at our table, which I had no problem. The dinner was very good and I can honestly say it was one of the best . They asked us if we like Desserts and we ordered Deserts which was freshly prepared and was delicious. Just as we were finishing our Desserts the waitress came across and told us we need to leave as they need the table ( I could not believe it ?) It seems ( but you are not told) that you only get 2 hours from time you sit on the table to leaving your table.( We arrived on our allotted time at 1.0pm) We did not get chance even to order a coffee. Went to bar to pay and they had missed our Desserts from the Bill. Obviously I informed them and paid the correct Amount. I wish they would have told us we only get two hours at the table ( taking an hour for dinner to arrive). Disappointed

Came here to meet friends on a Thursday evening. We didn’t book and the car park was busy, so was hoping we would get a table and we did, near the fire nice and warm. Was busy inside and had a large birthday in, we had to wait a little for food but it was all cooked from fresh, piping hot and worth waiting. Recommend the pie too. Brilliant service and lovely cosy pub inside. Would come again.

Been coming here for a few years now and has always been spot on service food everything but not impressed with our big family Christmas dinner there was 12 of us so I appreciate it is a large party but for the first time ever they sat us in The Lounge not in the usual part of the restaurant so not a very festive atmosphere and the food definitely not up to usual standard roast potatoes so hard and over cooked yorkshire puddings ok but the beef was terrible very chewy and pink don’t think many of us ate it, the apple crumble as said in another review was like tinned apple with powdery crumble on top the price was reasonable worked out about £30 per head and service reasonable although we were chased off our table at 4:30 and we didn’t go in til 2pm with 12 people and a baby so felt a bit rushed too. I was disappointed to be honest just wondering if recently changed hands as was not the usual level of service and quality of food by a long shot

Take A Gander is hands down the best pub in Scunthorpe! Visited last night for a large family party and we couldn’t have been more impressed! The atmosphere in the pub is warm and welcoming, the front of house staff are friendly and accommodating, and the service throughout our meal was flawless. The Chef (s) is outstanding, the food is so flavoursome and the portions are very generous. Highly recommend the stroganoff and even the side dish ordered, (tenderstem broccoli) arrived in a large pasta bowl and was big enough for 3!! Great food, nice atmosphere and value for money brings us back time and again!

Enjoyed a fantastic 40th anniversary meal with family. Wonderful food and very accommodating staff. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Went for Sunday Roast and were very impressed. Met with a smile at the Bar and were attended to by 3 different people ( food, drinks etc) and all were exceptional with their politeness and friendliness and could not have been better . Food was very good and excellent value for money. Not been to T a G for a while but will definitely be back soon.

I wanted to check this out as I hadn't been for a while so called in for lunch. The food was only average, frozen chips and peas and bought in pie. Apple crumble was tinned apples topped with a crumble which hadn't been cooked together. The price was good for a two course meal and maybe another choice might have been better but unfortunately I won't be rushing back, which is a shame because it is a lovely restaurant.

20 Great place for a meal with friends. The staff are lovely and really look after you. The food - v aried menu that has something for everyone and each dish is really well thought through and cooked to perfection. We visit most Fridays with friends, you can sit and relax and catch up without being hurried. Keep doing what you are going guys you are just so good at it 👍

Excellent food in nice surroundings recommend the chicken schnitzel. Staff very friendly and attentive. Will definitely return.

were celebrating husbands 70th b'day with family. We had to let them know in advance what we wanted because there were 8 of us! never known that before, but one ordered paella and was told chef wasn't happy with it so they had to change their order. Husband asked for pie with chips it came with mash (he hates mash had to take off his plate) he was given some chips that had been ordered to share he said they were dry. I asked for the beef spare rib was supposed to have horseraddish mash , it was plain mash no taste. I had a clean rib plonked on plate (i guess to let me know it was rib) the meat was fatty. left most of it very disappointed.

3 of us had a lovely meal and a good afternoon at the Take a Gander,the service and atmosphere was great,had a lovely time and have already booked a return visit,thanks to all the staff for a really good afternoon.

A friend and I called in for late lunch/ early tea on 18th July on our way to the Baths Halls. What a marvellous experience. It was fairly quiet as expected at that time (it got progressively busier). But the service was superb, engaging and pleasant. As was the food. We had a starter of squid (looked delicious) while I had ham egg and chips. Beautiful ham, perfect eggs and very very nice chips. My friend then had a lovely looking pud. Complete with half a cider and 4 soft drinks and the bill was under £23. The building is fascinating, everywhere was immaculate and the loos were super. I would most definitely go back.

We came for our end of term school meal, and after some fun team building activities in the afternoon we finished at this lovely place.The meal was booked for 3.30 but 2 of our teams were running late. The staff were excellent and happy to wait until we all arrived. The food was delicious and great value. All the staff were very friendly and keen to chat and asked us about our afternoon. We would all recommend this place for their great food and lovely atmosphere. Well done everyone

Absolutely shocking. This has been mine and my partner favorite place to eat until now. Over priced for food that's shocking and bought from the supermarket. Main course couldn't even cut the beef with a knife and gave up. Table had things crawling over it. In a nut shell Totallyshocking you wouldn't serve that to a homeless man as hed throw it back at you . Not be going back again until they have a new chef.

Visited for Sunday lunch on Fathers Day after hearing some good reviews from friends. I had the roast beef, my wife had the Lamb & mint pie and my sons had lasagne and a goat burger. The food was absolutely fantastic, amazing service and very reasonably priced. I didn't have a dessert but the others did and said they were delicious. We will definitely be back. ten out of ten!
