We had read online about this place, and it being very close to the Premier Inn where we were staying, we decided to give it a go. This was a Wednesday evening at 7.00pm (they are closed Monday and Tuesday). The car park was about half full. The bar where we ate was a little spartan and it being a rather chilly evening, it would have been nice to have had a fire going. Service was attentive, by a youngish gentleman (owner??), and we did not wait long for food. We had garlic bread to start (not on the grown ups menu, but we were kindly allowed to order from the 'kids' menu) and this was really rather good, not the usual dry offering. For mains we had the 'house' burger, and again this was good, served with chips (a little soggy but tasty) and a very good coleslaw, homemade, but rather heavy on the mayonnaise- it could do with 'cutting' with yoghurt to give acidity. Small complaint, I know! We were full, so did not try a dessert. Atmosphere was a little subdued, but it was a Wednesday evening I suppose- having said that there was a party of ladies in a room next door, and gales of laughter and cheering made us wonder what on earth was going on! Beer (Batemans XB) was decent if served a little cold for my taste. All together, definitely worth a punt, especially if at the Premier Inn.

What an amazing pub, we live not far away and yet we have not visited for over 15 years, yesterday we had Sunday lunch and I can safely say it was the best we have had out for years. We had the Beef carvery and it was as tender as any I have tasted. We were greeted at the door with a smile and all the staff were friendly and helpful. We shall certainly be regulars now. Thank you

Probably one of the worst experiences we have ever had. As two couples we go to many restaurants, pubs etc and this one rates as one of the worst. On arrival, the restaurant smelt of burning from the kitchen and the room was full of smoke. We sat down and after some discussion with the waitress we ordered our starter only?! After finishing our starter we ordered our main course. All of this obviously took unacceptable time. The starters were average, obviously frozen foods but were okay. The main courses were disgraceful, not what we ordered because they were out of Filet Stakes. Everything was over cooked, dry and tasteless except for ‘Andy’s Pie’ which one of us had and it was said to be lovely. The staff had no idea how to use the electronic ordering tablets, they were slow, inattentive and during the meal they did not ask how the food was or, if we wanted any more drinks etc. The entire experience was dreadful, we will not be returning there any time soon. There appeared to be only about 20 people on a Saturday night, really I am not surprised, it was so bad.

A hidden gem of a restaurant in our opinion. We stayed at Premier Inn Boston and on Friday ate at Brewers Fayre but noticed that a 15 minute walk away (via paved and lit road) was The Ball House. It wasn’t obvious from their profile what hours they served food (Probably needs better marketing) so we decided to take a walk and at least have a drink. We were warmly welcomed and on checking the menu saw that prices were reasonable and choice varied so we booked for Sat night. It was quite busy when we arrived (but there was plenty of space) at 19:30 but again we were warmly welcomed and served quickly and efficiently by Ellie who we must say is a credit to the place. This isn’t a fast food joint so be prepared to wait for the excellent food. The advantage over Brewers Fayre is you don’t have to queue to order and the food is much better. We were planning to have dessert but genuinely couldn’t fit anything in after the steak pie and cod & chips. See pics. These were £14.95 each and a pint was £5.50 so quite reasonable. If you are staying at Premier Inn I would certainly give the Ball House a visit. If you have a motor caravan they will let you stay in their car park for £5 if you eat / drink there. It isn’t silent as a 40mph road runs nearby but does quieten down at night. It has outdoor seating in summer (but bear in mind the road) and a fireplace inside in winter. We will certainly return

We went with family for a New Year's Eve carvery. We were quite disappointed at the limited meat we received per portion even when ordering the large plate. (3 small pieces). We were even more disappointed how even though we had had our plates cleared and were awaiting dessert they cleared our table of everything even though people still hadn't finished their drinks. As a warning you can't necessarily trust what the staff have to say as when one family member went to order vanilla ice cream she was told that they didn't have any. However, we then overheard the same staff member telling another table that vanilla ice cream was available. I mean what sort of establishment that serves desserts doesn't have vanilla ice cream? Overall I was quite disappointed and upset by my experience and shall not be going back.

We went for a carvery after it was recommended online. The meat was lovely but there was a poor selection of veg and it was very much just plain veg- brocoli, cauli, carrots and beans, and worst of all the "roast" potatoes had been fried not roasted! There were no parsnips, pigs in blankets, or red cabbage etc. We were disappointed and won't be going back.

Myself and my partner visited The Ball House today for Sunday lunch, I have to say we were genuinely disappointed with the tight portions and poor customer service.I politely asked for some more meat as the wafer thin sliver of beef seamed incredibly stingy and very strict portion control.I was quite bluntly told "no... but I could have an extra roast potato"I understand that the meat is the most expensive part of the meal... but this seemed ridiculous compared to other local restaurants in the area!The potatoes and vegetables were equally miserly portioned and issued to me?? Surely potatoes and vegetables are reasonably inexpensive? Most places allow you to help yourself to as much vegetables as you like.I got precisely two carrot batons, and two small bits of broccoli, the yorkshire puddings were very good as were the roast potatoes.The food I have to say was nicely cooked, but the portion size and the rude nature of the young gentleman who served us was very poor.It is not particularly cheap either at £10 for one course each.There are far better Places to eat locally .. places that serve decent food, in a reasonable quantity, of a good quality and at a fair price.Dissapointing

Booked for an evening meal via email and phone, both were confirmed. Very nice place with friendly staff. Quite a choice on the menu plus specials on the board. Group of five and we each found something we liked. Food was promptly brought to the table and beautifully presented. Thoroughly enjoyed by all as were the desserts . Mine was treacle sponge with ice cream. The sponge was so light and fluffy. We stayed at the premier inn near by and had a few bad meals there so would not hesitate to book meals at The Ball House next time we are in the area.

This pub is well appointed, quite classic style with a fabulous original fireplace. The menu was straightforward standard no frills pub food, which is exactly what we wanted. It’s good value and next time we’ll try the early bird menu after work for a mid week treat for even better value. A pleasant young man serving us, prompt & polite. The only thing I’d suggest is a couple of cosy sofas or armchairs by the fire rather than acres of dining tables as we’d definitely visit with local friends for a drink on a regular basis. We’ll be back, nevertheless.

Visited here on the way back from a shopping trip, ordered the 2 meals for £15, one of which was the steak pie of which came with no gravy & would have been dry without it. Asked for gravy which I found was seasoned with a very strong herb which overtook the taste of the gravy & the rest of my meal. Later when the bill arrived was charged for the gravy even though there is no mentioned on the menu about extra charges for this. As I eat out quite often I was most surprised & did point this out but they did not seem interested. So be aware of hidden charges if eating here

Well the Ball House offers some of the best Sunday dinners available in the area. A carvery is on offer with a good and varied selection of well-cooked and wholesome meats, vegetables and other compliments. You are provided with plentiful amounts (but you can decide to reduce this should you so wish). There is also a widespread range of deserts available - should you wish to push up the calorie count. Well the food is glorious - true home-cooked fayre - to call it wonderful or "just like mum used to make" would be an accurate description. The front of house staff are friendly and attentive yet not over-bearing. The price is what you would expect for good quality food - indeed true VfM. We would strongly recommend a trip out to the Ball House (especially on a Sunday) as you will not be disappointed

Haven’t visited The Ball House for quite a while, during which it has changed hands a couple of times. Recently went back with friends and really enjoyed our evening. Small changes to the decor made the place more welcoming, and the attentive and friendly staff were very hospitable. The food was excellent, from a varied and tempting menu. Our party had mixed dishes from melt in the mouth liver and bacon to barbecued ribs. Every dish was piping hot, beautifully presented, and served with a smile. We found the portions generous, and the dishes well balanced. The restaurant was three-quarters full of people of all ages and had a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be returning and recommend it to all tastes.

I Went on Sunday for a carvery with a family member and we had a good-ish meal. I had pork, which I have to say was rather nice and there was a lot of it, it was also very tender and not dry at all which is sometimes hard to do, especially with a carvery. The potatoes were also crispy. However there were three choices of veg, and you only got about two bits of each (as they dish it up for you) which compared to other local pubs is different. I like a significant amount of veg with my roast but didn't feel as if I had enough at all. The pudding, which was the apple pie, while nice was soggy but I may be being fussy as I do like a crispy pastry. Overall it was a 'good-ish' meal and it was fairly priced.

Was shown to a very sticky table , more to do with the fact that it was probably not cleaned or prepared before using the wrong varnish I would imagine . Service was slow I think they may have been a waiter or two down on that day . Was shocked to see 3 small joints of meat for like family sized rather than restaurant sized . For me two thin slices of meat was ok but my husband likes a man sized portion and was told in no uncertain terms that he could not have a third slice because the restaurant was fully booked . He was even refused a second Yorkshire pudding . For me the worst part was seeing the roast potatoes swimming in an inch of oil . I have eaten carverys up and down the full length of the british isles and never before seen or tasted something so revolting . Roast potatoes should be served crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inner . Thank god fish and chip shops do not leave their chips swimming in oil before serving . I was always taught that the stem of cabbage should removed before cooking but it seems if you leave it on it will go further and serve more people . Unfortunately i dont eat stalks . All in all not an enjoyable Sunday Lunch .

I believe my brothers and I were treated unfairly, the staff must have thought that we wouldn't eat a full meal. the menu stated my meal would be a 14oz gammon steak like that of other guests mine was a four and a half inch piece of crispy bacon half a tomato an over cooked mushroom and twelve chips, the other two also had smaller portions I am sorry I cannot recommend this restaurant for the 'older good eater'

The Ball House is one of the best restaurants around not only boston but Lincolnshire as a whole. The food cannot be faulted. Me and my husband dine here nearly every day and occasionally bring our granddaughter. The Sunday carvery is amazing. The food is top the place is always clean and tidy and the staff are incredibly friendly... I would recommend the ball house to anyone keep up the great work love Chris and Chris. X

Really enjoyed our visit. I’m a vegetarian and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of veggie options available. Food was very nice. Large portions and very reasonably priced.

Called in for a coffee and noticed that they have several Vegan options. Today was Beetroot and Quinoa Burger, with salad and onion rings, on the Specials Menu board.

Visited today for lunch and it was amazing. The Ball House is a must. The new owners ( well I haven’t called in for over two years ) have created a friendly atmosphere and the food was excellent. Will definitely be going back and recommend

I came here with my 6 year old son as part of the half term holiday offer of a free child's meal with a full paying adult. The food was delicious and good sized portions. Very well presented too. The staff were amazing and all...

Really well prepared food, Friendly staff. Main meals were delicious & following sweets were very enjoyable. Nice background music rather than irritating pop music! Would definitely recommend if you want good food & a relaxed pub environment without screaming kids!

Had lunch at the Ball House today. It was clean, tidy and the food was good. I would recommend the starter and main lunch special for £12.95. I had the burger which was good but I had food envy at the lunch special :). I had a pint of Batemans which was also very good and so was the friendly service. Would recommend this pub.

Another brilliant and delicious meal for myself and my wife. We had the sharing starter then both had fish and chips all was excellently cooked and delicious. Can’t wait for the next time. Staff as usual very friendly, courteous and helpful. A nice wood fire going to keep customers warm on a very cold night. Can’t fault the night at all. Well done

A perfect night, been here several times and it never fails to impress. Big meals and so well presented. The steaks are so good and cooked to perfection. All in all a lovely romantic night with my boyfriend. One recommendation, I wish you sold prosecco by the glass.

We are frequent visitors to The Ball House as it's always a favourite for my wife and I. Food and service excellent as ever. I have to recommend the Homecoming Chicken with mash potatoes and chicken gravy, proper comfort food. My wife had a burger and all I can say is 'WOW'. I'll be trying that next time. Thank you again for an excellent meal. We will be back soon.

We had intended having a meal at another local restaurant, but it was so packed that we decided to take a risk and walk up Wainfleet Road to the Ball House. We were amazed to find the usually crowded car park almost empty and wondered whether it was open or closed for evening meals. We were delighted to discover that meals were being served and we thoroughly enjoyed the main courses which we chose, namely chilli and rice and gammon and chips. They were tastefully served and washed down by a pint of beer and a glass of iced water.

Came for a meal with the girlfriend last week. We sat together near the fire to warm up, the restaurant was very clean and staff were lovely throughout the entire stay. I ordered the Sirloin steak and the mrs ordered their signature homecoming chicken. Both came out relatively quickly, were piping hot and were large plates of food. I chose the peppercorn sauce and extra onions rings, which was of charge on all steaks and burgers, which was a nice touch. We both really enjoyed our meals and will definitely be back soon!

This was our first time as a family to eat out on Christmas Day, we chose this venue as previous reviews looked okay and the public house on the outside has some character and we hoped the inside would reflect the true spirit of Christmas.

Was very upset and disappointed today when we turned up for my husband’s birthday with friends who had travelled two hours to surprise him to be told we had no booking. This was made almost a month ago and I even rang last weekend to double check the time and was told there was no booking. After explaining I was reassured that all had been rectified and it was all sorted and ‘in the book’ Today they said we booked on 1st November but I wasn’t even around that day as I was in Lincoln at an appointment. The 1st doesn’t even sound like 10th and I rang to double check on 3rd so that was after the 1st. I even said it was Remembrance Sunday so there was no mistaking the date. Definitely their error even though I was made to feel I had lied as ‘nothing was in the book’ Just got told they were full and nothing they could do. Wouldn’t be quite so bad had I not double checked the booking last weekend and yet they still got it wrong. Thank you for spoiling my husbands birthday and the surprise of our friends joining us when she had to ring to tell us there was a problem and thank you for leaving us with no lunch as everywhere was booked.

We haven't been here for years but decided to try it again after our usual diner was closed and we were pleasantly surprised. Same friendly family service and same competitive pricing as we remembered. I had the eggs Benedict and they were nearly perfect, eggs not quite runny enough but the quantity, quality and pricing were right. My partner had a toasted tea cake and we both had drinks, mine a cappuccino and my partners a pot of tea for one that actually provided sufficient for three. We will be back again in the near future.

Went this evening 10th June 23, we have friends coming over next week and was looking for places to visit with them. What an absolute s**t hole The beer tasted like vinegar, children in the bar, no evidence of food being served. The place was utterly filthy cobwebs stained brown they were that old. We should have taken heed before we went in, we commented on all the dead hanging baskets. Didn’t finish our drinks, husband left his because it was so bad. Avoid at all costs, I don’t understand why so many good reviews it’s awful, in fairness we didn’t sample the food. Woman behind the bar was pleasant enough.
