Tanya's in East Lindsey

We have visited this place quite a few times now which says alot for us. The staff are very friendly, the cafe very clean . We had a small English breakfast which was plenty for us and the Lincoln sausage was very nice in particular. They also have a fab selection of home made cakes . Well worth a visit.

Horrendous, cheap tea and coffee for ridiculous prices!!really unwelcoming staff and really rude!!! Would not recommend at all!

So, i have randomly been calling here for coffee for some time now, the cakes always called to me, but, being diabetic i just couldnt do it 😔 Last week i fell, i got cake, the mist delicious Lemon Cake i have ever tasted, so today, yep, i done it again, this time i got Carrot Cake, again, wow, absolutely gorgeous, and all cakes are homemade by the lovely ladies that all work here, come on, give these ladies a rise, they truely deserve every penny, amazing, oh...and by the way, the staff are all friendly and helpful too lol 😆

No dog policy. Not hard to put a sign on the door having to go in ask the question to be told no wastes everyone's time. There are at least three other cafes in Horncastle luckily that allow dogs.

Great coffee. Delicious cakes. Not too pricey for the size of the portion. Friendly helpful staff. A lovely experience.

This cafe is always busy no matter what time of the day you are passing. Go inside and sample the hospitality, food and definitely cake. You'll be back, I certainly will be!

Horncastle was our lunch break on our journey from Norwich to Bridlington. This place is obviously very popular as people were happy to stand and wait for a table. I had a lovely very strong double shot Americano and very nice beans on toast, followed by a lovely piece of chocolate cake.

What a great find! After several weeks in Horncastle we have found this lovely coffee shop! Delicious food (breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and home made cake!) and fabulous friendly service.

We were visiting friends and stopped to look around Horncastle and have a coffee. Tanya's was recommended to us by a lady that we'd stopped on the street. We're not local, so it's always good to ask. A lovely lady asked us to wait outside just whilst she cleared and sanitised our table, then we were seated and our order taken. We'd spied the mint aero biscuit cake and oh my, that didn't disappoint! It seemed to be going fast so I promptly donned my mask and went up to the counter to order four pieces to take away for our friends (who went mad for them, I may add!) We sat happily, watching the world go by and there was a constant flurry of locals going in and out, which is always a good sign of excellence. We can't recommend it highly enough as a little oasis of calm for the tourists who just need a little pit stop.

Visited with friends, nice place, clean, but the only thing lets this place down are the staff. Very unwelcoming on arrival, and throughout our visit.It seemed as though everything was a chore we asked for. Sorry to say I won't be making a return visit.

Dropped in for drinks and cakes. Both coffee and tea of good quality and the scone was delicious. Toilet was exceptionally clean and well stocked with essentials to stay covid safe. Will call in again.

We stopped in for an early lunch, the place was very popular. I had the steak & onion baguette, my wife had sausage sandwich. Both were very tasty, as was the coffee. The cakes looked amazing, although we didn't have room to sample them. Well worth a visit if you are in Horncastle.

Handy place for a break of journey. There's a public car park and conveniences only a very short distance away. All covid requirements are adhered to and shouldn't give rise to any concerns. Good choice of food from what you would expect of a cafe menu only open in daytime, of good quality too. Service prompt and staff nice and welcoming.

Stopped in horncastle and the place we go to first is Tanya’s tea room. We love it here and so do the kids. We had afternoon tea for four. The sandwiches were so nice with really soft fresh bread and the fillings were so tasty, then the warm fresh scones with clotted cream and jam which were to die for and finally a selection of home made cakes these have to be seen and eaten to believe just how good these are.This place is spotlessly clean with good covid protocol. The staff are always polite and the food is brilliant. Highly recommend to anyone

I had breakfast here on my birthday and it was great! Lovely food, great service. We will be back without a doubt

Had a lovely little lunch here recently, I’ve heard lots of good things and have now seen them for myself, very enjoyable, will be back

Always a good sign,a cafe full of patrons.We thought we d give it a try.Wow,we weren’t disappointed.The afternoon tea was divine.The selection of cakes available made it hard to choose.Sandwiches freshly prepared and lovely.Overall a fabulous experience with friendly staff.Dont be put off if you have to queue,the wait will be well worth it.

After our first visit we came back 3-4 times more during our time staying in Horncastle. Very friendly and welcoming, clean and relaxed. The cakes on offer were delish!

My regular fare here has been the all day breakfast and it is a very good plate of food with an excellent cappuccino (coffee courtesy of Stokes in Lincoln, top quality). Covid queueing was interesting as I was outside in the rain for quite some time, which may give you an idea of how much I wanted to eat here. There is also a particularly fine selection of home made cake and fabulous meringue to eat in or takeaway. Service can be slow at busy times (more tables than right now) but was very prompt on this occasion and at a reduced price due to the Government eat out scheme. There are an assortment of cafes in the town but this is the one I prefer and highly recommend to any visitors.

We called in for lunch and were glad we did. Freshly made toasties with salad and the best homemade coleslaw I’ve ever had. Barista coffees and homemade cakes all served with a smile by friendly staff. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Been in and through Horncastle tons of times but never stoped here, fantastic fresh and tasty food. Amazing hot food and the afternoon tea was superb. Highly recommend this place for a breakfast or a few cups of tea with your afternoon tea, all 5 of us were very impressed.

We’ve been quite a few times. Great coffee and cakes. Sandwiches, cream teas, hot and cold dishes all available too. Reasonably priced. Just off the square in Horncastle. Friendly service.

I can think of no better place for a bowl of warming winter vegetable soup, or a full English or just a cup of Americano served by warm friendly staff at competative prices. As for the cakes. Well they are to Die for.

Really good espresso style coffee and the bacon roll and sauage bap are really good at a very reasonable price. Sadly I'm not allowed cake but theirs look gorgeous.And the service is quick and friendly so, just two doors down from Costa, this place is much better.

Popped in for a snack last week and my husband had a hot chocolate and toasted tea cake and I had the sausage bap and coffee. Both tasty and quick service which we enjoyed sat by the window people watching.Nice clean place and will try the full english breakfast next time as that looked tempting being eaten from the next table.

This is always a Great Place to meet and enjoy a Cup of Tea or Coffee and one of the most fantastic Cakes on offer. There is always such a Great choice of Cakes. Forget the diet and enjoy yourself with a Slice of Heaven,

Pop in for lunch sometimes. Recommend the hot beef and mushroom baguette it's delicious. Friendly staff and food is quick to arrive.

My husband opted for the cheese plough mans and I had a cheese and mushroom omelette. He was pleased to get beetroot and pickled onions, and I was pleased to get plenty of cheese and mushrooms in my piping hot omelette. A larger pot of tea would have been nice for me but his coffee was generous and he liked it. Pleasant service too.

Stopped here for a light breakfast - toast and coffee. Friendly service and a great cup of coffee and plenty of butter with the toast!!

Ths sausages are fabulous, nice place, good coffee, pleasant and helpful staff, waitress service. Would definitely come here again.

What can I say. Well it's very good.My choice the ploughmans, with ham and cheese.Coffee was great. Friendly staff. But a word of warning do not, I repeat, do not go and look at the desserts. OMG, gorgeous. Apple Pie doorstop, my choice. Oh just go, your love it.

Popped in here for lunch as a family. Lovely welcoming staff, nice surroundings, and food was very good and reasonable. Only downside is no customer toilet.

We caled in here on our way back to Norfolk from Yorkshire, as we have stopped here on previous occasions. Great quality food and good value - the staff are very friendly too. Highly recommended. Closes at 4pm.

Super lunch with my little girl. The ladys were so kind to us and served us in no time. My little girl loves choosing the cakes from here. She devoured her sandwich and cake. Yummy strawberry cake she would say. Nice atmosphere and nice service. Good value too.

My friend and I were walking past and the cake display made us stop, walk backwards and go in! The apple pie with cream was delicious and the coffee and tea were good. Service was prompt, smiling, polite and very friendly and the cafe itself looked sparklingly clean. Apparently it is possible to purchase cakes to take away, so it's just as well I don't live in the area or I can see my Body Mass Index would rise alarmingly. Highly recommended.

Hungry, as usual on my work travels, came across this little gem. All day breakfast was my order and it didn't disappoint. Proper Lincolnshire sausages and bacon which was just yummy and 'proper' also.

A cold, wet miserable day in Horncastle, what better way than to recharge the batteries and bring a smile to our faces than to pop into Tanya's cafe for a delicious meal. Very clean and inviting with extremely reasonable prices and very tasty food on offer makes this a 'must-stop-and-sample' type of place. So many people visiting is a sure sign that they have got things right. Will definitely call again when in the area.

There wa a good selection of cakes, buns and desserts for those who have a sweet tooth. A nice cafe where you can indulge yourself once in a while !

Go to Tanya's all the time..best place by far in Horncastle..very good range of eats..service is always good..prices are reasonable too

We thought we would try this café because we had heard good things about it and we decided we would make a change. My little girl choose the cheesecake from the display and I had a cream tea scone. It was delicious and we were served straight away. It was busy too but we didn't feel rushed and the staff were attentive and friendly. We will be back next week. Really nice place I would recommend it and value for money.

What a gem this tearoom is. The food is first class, always fresh and tasty and excellent quality ingredients are used ( a rare thing nowdays). The Hot chocolate is superb ! I have paid more for a poor watery version in more expensive coffee shops and been very disappointed. Tanya's is now our benchmark when we eat out during the day and as yet nowhere comes close to delivering their standard either with the food, the ambiance, or friendly team.

Really fresh ingredients gave all 3 of us a super tasty snack lunch. Service was outstanding, very welcoming and attentive. The cakes were truly delicious. At £26 for drinks, toasted sandwiches and cakes for 3, it's outstanding value as well.

We decided to met up at Tanya's as its convenient for us both. As you go in to Tanya's the first thing that yo see is the Cakes on display. Wow, you have never seen such wonderful selection of cake and they are all home made. Chocolate, Victoria Coffee and Walnut Caramel toffee and the list goes on. We both had coffee which arrives hot with cream or milk, and for once there was Brown Sugar you would be amazed how many places don't have brown sugar on the bowls. We both declined a cake but it was a hard decision. Maybe next time we met up we will give in, who knows. Try them for yourselves I'm sure that you will be glad that you have visited Tanya's

As well known & respected previous customers, one a disabled 80yr+ lady.... I popped in & asked if the 'available table for two could be held for 5 minutes?'... whilst the 80yr+ was at the bank (across the road)... Before we came in for lunch..

Second time in here and both experiences were about the same. Service was quick for the food but when we went to pay it took longer than the food to arrive. The food was good but the menu is a bit limited and could not serve me chips with my omelette. Price was reasonable.

Met a friend for lunch, we had 2 young children with us and were made to feel very welcome with highchairs and a kids menu provided. The food was delicious, made fresh and very good value. The home made cakes are fantastic. Highly recommended!

Had lunch here a little while ago. It's a nice setting with excellent food & very friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Managed to get served with a take away drink with not one member of staff looking at me or making any effort to greet or make me feel like a customer...really disappointed. The drink was luke warm and a bit watery too.....

First visit to Horncastle and Tanya’s. Clean and friendly staff. Food was lovely and served quickly. Good cup of tea too. Small cafe but plenty of good wholesome food on offer. Not expensive either.

We used to be regulars at Tanya's until moving away a year ago..we still follow her on facebook and have yet to find anywhere that does such amazing cakes and cheesecakes. We were back briefly overnight recently and we made sure we called in at lunch.

The food was amazing, the staff are really friendly and the whole cafe has a general cosy feel. Definitely would go again. There was a large selection of fresh cakes and the hot chocolate was absolutely delicious.

If you comes to Tanyas you have to have one of their delicious cakes and a hot drink. Amazing and they do takeaway. Yum

Been a few times now and always enjoyed our food and all the cakes. Service good and staff friendly. Nice environment. Good selection of food. Pitty we don't live in horncastle or would be in all the time

Called in here, as we normally go to the Stables in Horncastle. Straight away what a disappointment, they do not have a a toilet, be aware of this!

Had a lovely big breakfast here and a pot of tea..... It was all hot and tasty and my bacon was cooked to order!!

This little restaurant is welcoming and friendly and has amazing home made cakes. The is a choice of toasted sandwiches, salads, jackets potatoes, teacakes etc. The coffee is delicious and tea has teapot,milkjug and sugar basin. Service is swift and efficient. There is also a choice of take out food. The salads are in containers and beautifully lined up to show all the ingredients and include a roll and butter. Salads are between £3 and £3.75 and are made to order. Ciabattas, jackets and toasted sandwiches and sandwiches are also available to take out. It is a pleasure to go there and the place is spotlessly clean. Thank you Tanya. You are certainly a little gem in the town.

What a lovely place for a spot of lunch or cuppa and cake. The staff are friendly and the whole place looks really clean. We had the veggie breakfast and cheese salad. Service was quick and the food plentiful and delicious. Highly recommend visiting. There's also a good choice of cakes but we didn't try any as not sure if they are made with free range egg?

Popped in for breakfast. Accommodated gluten free and other allergies with no hesitation. Offered a substitution for the items I was unable to have. Nice and reasonably prices. Lovely staff.

Stopped for lunch, what a little gem. Excellent service, efficient and friendly. The food was well prepared and very very good. Really great value for money. Thoroughly recommended, we will be back next time we are in Horncastle.

Popped in on a whim as my grandfather and I had twenty minutes to spare before our next appointment and discovered this gorgeous little coffee shop. We only had time for a quick coffee (which was delicious) on this occasion, but we both perused the menu and decided that we will definitely be going again for a spot of lunch. Such great looking food I saw going to the other tables around us and fantastic prices. Looking forward to going again!

Popped in for a latte with my neighbour after a cancelled meeting and had a latte with cheese & tomato toastie. Table service there which was super, food Excellent and staff friendly. Definitely going back

Had coffee and absolutely delicious homemade cake here today. What a welcoming and customer focussed owner. It's a special place in respect of home made food, with great cafe/tearoom choice. I can't wait to go back.

Delicious food, great standard menu of breakfasts, hot and cold sandwiches, salads, jacket potatoes and soups; it was just what we were looking for. The fridge was full of yummy looking cakes and desserts too. Very reasonable prices. Swift and friendly service too. Would highly recommend for a tasty lunchtime snack.

If I could give this 6 stars, I would do!

Just had a breakfast recently it was delicious &healthy.good; selection of healthy breakfast,good service as well.

Great Tanya has taken this on herself after working here when Hennys, It is greatly improved, décor etc. Nice for breakfast or lunch, lovely beef and fried onion baguettes (little pricey compared to other things on the menu)

Very nice Cafe, good ambiance and excellent food. Attentive staff without being overpowering. Well done all.

This coffee shop is 1 of the best in Horncastle ( In our opinion). We have lunch here at least once a week sometimes twice. The service and staff are fantastic and the food and cakes are the same. All of the food we have had has been very fresh and full of flavour. This coffee shop gets very very busy in the lunchtime , which in my mind only means one think ( that its very good ). Yes the coffee shop has not got a toilet but there are toilets a very short walk down from the coffee shop so this would not be a problem. Some of the cakes are homemade and i have to say they are excellent. I cannot understand why there is a couple of poor reviews , this is customers just wanting to make a fuss about nothing. At the end of the day why did they not say something to the owner, and as for the No toilet comments it has a sign in the shop clearing stating that they do not have toilets so if you are unhappy with this why stay there.

We often visit Tanya's for Saturday breakfast . Top quality food cooked to perfection just the way you like it !!

On the main lane from the main car parks in Horncastle, to the Market Square is Tanya's. It's not very big but the food is EXCELLENT! The menu is not large but all I ever have is the cheese or the ham or beef salad. Wowsers! What a lovely plate of fresh vegetables, sliced boiled egg, beetroot, and bread - and they don't stint on the beef, ham or cheese! We've been in for a coffee as well and have looked with longing at the slices of cake. I can't give an opinion because I've never tried these mega wedges of various naughties (slimming!) but one day I shall go in and enjoy.

My son and I popped into Tanya's for a light lunch before trawling the antique and junk shops in Horncastle. Our bacon, cheese and tomato toasties were delicious and came with a generous side salad. Although I'm an inveterate brown bread eater, the toasted white bread was so tasty!

Wandered in for breakfast. Table service (good) so a quick look at the menu and it's got to be a full English and a large mug of black coffee (just for a change, NOT ;-)).

Having popped into this very nice tea and coffee venue for a break from shopping, I was fascinated to hear several customers referred to by their personal names. In return, I heard different customer referring to members of staff by theirs. Obviously, there must be a lot of regular trade for this to happen. I ordered coffee and coke whilst my wife had fruit tea and scone. One thing that struck me was that the scones had not been ruined in texture by warming them in a microwave oven. My Carrot Cake was delicious and my coffee was made with a good blend of ground beans.

Readers of our reviews will know that we don't give wholehearted praise lightly! However, this place deserves just that - and more - for it is a truly exceptional cafe, both in terms of atmosphere and the culinary delights it serves. Special mention must go to two delightful ladies 'front of house' - Sue and Kate - without whom Tanya's would be, well, still exceptionally good but perhaps lacking some of the delicious hug-ability factor!! The lunches at Tanya's are tasty and attractively presented; the 'Full English' is to die for, and the range of home-made cakes are simply mouth-wateringly good. This is a busy little place and tables cannot be reserved, so be prepared to be patient, especially on a Saturday when things can be frenetic.

Stopped by for a quick snack on a day out in Horncastle. Warm welcome, spotless venue. The menu is fairly basic, we had eggs on toast. The coffee was very nice and the bill was modest at less than £12 for two.

5 adults 4 kids descended on this little cafe today and nothing was to much trouble. Food was delicious, fresh and as for the luxurious hot chocolates the kids were in heaven. Very reasonable priced and staff just so attentive and accommodating. Well worth a visit

Cakes were good but a tea shop that closes at 4? And closes promptly - chair put up to block the door, we saw two couples truned away by 5 minutes past! Signs saying you cant pay by card, no loo. One of those places which seem to see customers as a bit of a bother

We visit Tanya's at least once a week, superb food, the best staff in Horncastle, home made cakes and oh such a choice, if you are in Horncastle do pop in

What a delight! From being a rather dated tea room, this has a modern feel while being friendly and relaxed. Cakes to die for and a simple but effective menu make this a lovely place to grab a bite to eat or chat with friends over coffee,

What can I say, 4 of us went for afternoon tea and it was amazing.

Popped in for a quick mug of hot chocolate and a piece of naughty cake. Yum, yum ! Both were very enjoyable and the surroundings were pleasant.

A nice hot mug of tea and a splendid slice of shortbread cake were pleasant here in this bright and well appointed café near the Market Place. As always there was good array of home made cakes in the display cabinet by the ordering counter

We had speedy service and nice food served in clean surroundings. Very satisfied with both the food and the prices.

We thought we would try out this place for the first time. We found the decor very pleasant with a lovely display of cakes in the cabinet but immediately noticed a sign inside highlighting no customer toilets on the premises and cash only sales.

Visited here with a friend and we chose the afternoon tea for two at £14.50. We had a prawn, a ham and a beef sandwich plus loads of salad. There was also two massive slabs of cake and two scones with accompaniments. We couldn't manage it all. The pot of tea for two was enough for 6 cups of tea as well. Very good value for money and gorgeous tasty food. A well deserved recommendation.

Went in for a coffee and decided to have a piece of cake, they appear to be all homemade, the one I had was a lemon and ginger cheesecake which was to die for, will definitely be going back.

I visited Tanya's recently and have to say it is a lovely place to stop for a coffee, cake and catch up. Ideally situated in the market place, the staff are polite and courteous and the menu is varied to suit all tastes. Will definitely be visiting again soon :-)

I called in for a quick coffee as I was driving through Horncastle. Firstly the latte I had was delicious and then I fancied a sandwich so ordered an egg roll which was really tasty and great value for money. I'll definitely go back.

Brilliant tearoom set in market place. Freshly made cakes, fabulous coffee, freshly prepared food and friendly staff!! Well worth a visit!

Came in today with a friend for coffee and after finishing our drinks but still sat chatting a waiter came over asking if we were wanting to order anything else, to which I replied jokingly "why? do you want us to leave?". I was then very surprised by his response of "yes if that's okay" when we were thinking of having another coffee and possibly some food. This left us very uncomfortable and out in the rain. We then proceeded to visit another nearby cafe (to which service was quite the opposite!). If there were people waiting to be seated I would not have minded however with it raining outside and other empty tables available I can't understand why I was treated this way, especially with it not being a busy lunchtime period. As a regular visitor to this cafe, I am shocked and will not be visiting again in a hurry!

Whilst over from Swansea visiting family, we treat my mother to afternoon tea here. It was beautifully presented. Finger sandwiches with an arrange of fillings on brown and white bread and salad in the middle, scones and jam and followed by a slice of homemade cake. There was a variety to choose from. We had a strawberry and white chocolate cheesecake and chocolate cake which also came with a pot of tea. It was beautiful! My husband settled for the cooked breakfast and they even catered for our 5 year old daughter. Staff checked back if everything was ok which is always good service and very welcoming.

We were a mixed group mostly ordering in different things. My daughter and I opted for afternoon tea which was beautifully served by excellent staff and tasted delicious there was more than enough for us. My son in law opted for the all day breakfast which was huge and the smallest one in our party had the omelette and ate it all. We were served promptly and it seemed like no time at all before we had our meals. The tearoom was spotlessly clean and the staff were courteous and polite. A most enjoyable experience I will definitely be visiting again.

Stop by Tanya's while shopping with a friend in Horncastle, we both had a ham salad and was amazed how much we got! The ham was hand carved, egg, beetroot, coleslaw and mixed salad leaves with sweet corn, onion and cress...it was lovely and very reasonably priced. The cafe was very busy and the staff were very welcoming. We didn't have to wait too long for our meals. Desserts looked very inviting but I was too full to manage anything else. I would definitely go there again.

Really nice lunch baguettes, beef, onion and horseradish recommended. Staff are always friendly. Decor is much improved as of 2016, used to be a bit gloomy.

Popped into this lovely little Tearoom while out shopping and was so pleased with it we returned next time we were in town. The food was fresh, beautifully cooked and very well presented. A great friendly and relaxed atmosphere with staff working hard to make you feel at home. A very clean and comfortable experience and good value for money.

In Horncastle for shopping we decided to treat ourselves to a light lunch. Our first visit to Tanyas and when we saw the menu a full breakfast and a cheese salad were ordered! The salad almost defeated my wife but she enjoyed it very much with plenty of variety and a selection of cheeses. My breakfast was exactly what it should be. Real Lincolnshire sausage (2), tasty bacon and two beautifully fried eggs which tasted free range. The plate was full but I made sure that I didnt insult the chef!

A really nice cafe with the most pleasant staff. Marvellous sandwiches, great breakfasts and the most gorgeous cakes for tea, convenienly place near to the market square. I can recommend the prawn sandwiches and the ploughman's lunch both excellent. Please try when in Horncastle. Such friendly staff too.

Lovely cup of tea at a great price in comfortable surroundings frequented by obvious regulars what more could you want? (Well a toilet would be good but very clean public loos were almost next door so not a problem for us)

Had a wonderful vegetarian breakfast here for lunch, very reasonable for £4.25, and the hash browns were yummy - tasted homemade. My hubby had the all day breakfast and he was very impressed, and he sets the bar high. There was a good selection of drinks available and although we didn't try the cakes, they looked amazing and we'll definitely go back here next time in town, and try them. The people working here were nice and friendly, so good atmosphere.

We have been visiting Tanya's since she opened in January, never been disappointed, delicious coffees, tasty well presented lunches, pleasant staff, we have admired the cakes from afar, nearly gave in but then thought about our waistlines, maybe one day!!!!
