The Bistro Bar & Kitchen in West Lindsey

We've been sitting here about 45 minutes and still haven't seen our food. The drinks only arrived about 10 minutes ago. It's not particularly busy and I've noticed at least 3 members of staff so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Omg the cake, gorgeous The ladies were lovely, very attentive. Would certainly recommend this place even if it was just for a coffee

Food and service both first class

We had the food Wagon (Herbert I think) for our Wedding Reception serving Breakfast baps and Waffles. The food went down an absolute treat. Nicky and her team are absolutely wonderful people. So friendly and accommodating - can not recommend them enough and will will definitely be using them again!

Lovely meal, great atmosphere and friendly staff 10/10

So first time I came here it was very quiet, the atmosphere and furnishings are lovely. I've had Katie serve me twice now and both times she was lovely, welcoming and warm which made the experience that much nicer. The first time I came here I had the cream tea which I had been craving and I was lucky enough to find a cafe here in market rasen that did so. I feel that this is a lovely little gem hidden away and I would highly recommend here and shall be bringing my mum as I know she'll love this place too

Government funded to provide hot meals to the disabled. Failed to do so. When questioned; blocked from their FB messenger, then blocked from page. (I have all the screenshots). Was promised a call at 10:30 hours today; to no avail…! My opinion is they are not fit for purpose and should not have further funding. Merely my opinion.

Amazing food. Great atmosphere, especially when the bingo is on. The staff are friendly and beautiful people. If you are ever in market rasen I recommend popping in for something to eat or a cuppa. I also recommend the Sunday carvery

Bit of a wait for food but that was ok as we knew things were cooked to order. We loved being able to bring our dog in with us (& he sat very quietly under the table). A big pot of tea (3 or 4 cups) is always a bonus.

Absolutely love this place. Super friendly atmosphere. The staff feels like a big , happy family and you can tell the staff love their job. Always a amazing and large choice of food and drink. Nothing is too much for staff and they will cater for anyones dietary needs and always go out of their way to make food choices even if its not on the menu , this is great for fussy eaters or like my son who has Autism and will only eat certain foods. Lots of amazing events on each week for the whole family. A real community hotspot. They also do amazing birthday parties , we had a spiderman party for our son and staff were incredible the whole party. Constantly making it fun for the children and allowed us to have a custom party and include our own ideas. We also love the breakfast with Santa on each year , its a fab morning meeting santa and really gets you in the spirit for Christmas. They also have a huge range of foods that can be delivered to your home including food platters , chinese food , cakes and weight watchers meals. My boys especially love the chocolate brownies . Also a option to order custom cakes for any occasion which are fab value . Nicky made my son a 16th birthday cake which was a brownie stack and even added extra icing cutouts in gaming shapes. My son loved the cake , and said they are the best brownies ever. It made his birthday very special. Prices are always great value and portions sizes are so good. The bistro is always super clean and has a toilet and a good sized seating area.

I read a lot of good reviews about this location but I was disappointed by my visit. Sunday morning breakfast after race meeting. Sat with no issues, staff were polite. not visually busy, not informed of any staff shortages or issues. Ordered a breakfast and a sandwich. Ultimatley took an hour for order to come out. ⁸ updates on why the delay occurred during our wait. Sat for a long time waiting. Others came and left dissatisfied. When order did come, literally everything on plate was overdone. Egg was brown on bottom and essentially rubber at that stage. When asked how the food was, I specifically pointed out the egg was unedible, I was offered a replacement to the eggs but honestly at that stage I didn't want to wait an unknown amount of minutes to eat two eggs by themselves. Who would? Honestly it was probably a bad day for the place, when paying the bill they only charged for food and not the drinks. We had nursed 2 drinks for the hour and the second drink i ordered never arrived. At the end they explained they were short staffed and were sharing between multiple locations which contributed to the issues we found. Reality is that they should have said that at the start and being short staffed doesn't excuse the lack of communication. It also doesn't excuse the end product that was provided being of such poor quality Overall our experience was bad and we are unlikely to go back considering previous experience. I am kinda saddened by the fact that we experienced this given the general good reviews. I was hesitant to give such a bad review but its only fair to share our experience in an open manner

Had a breakfast here, was disappointed with the food. Overcooked and my husband could not finish, which is very unlike him! Staff were busy with a pumpkin competition, they would have been better sending us away, as I believe they became distracted with this!

Going here is the first positive decision I have made. I do struggle with environments and people, due to how I present. Needing so many methods to help myself manage myself. But coming to the bistro, they care. And that to me is important, as I feel treated as an individual with so much consideration to my own difficulties with people and places. Food is always outstanding, service is always excellent. Kareoke nights are superb and really fun with how the regulars all mingle so well, and the hosts and DJ are brilliant and fair. Coming here is a no brainer to myself and my partner because we found a place that just clicked to making sure we knew we could have adjustments and compassion. Food is such amazing to have handmade cakes, ice cream, creative cocktails and salads!! Nic and Tam, you girls have done amazing. Thank you for being such amazing owners and with how often we visit. We feel that it's more than a customer friendly experiance, it's a place to also make friendships! Lacey, Katie, Connor, Clare, Libby, and Cassie you are such an amazing team to come in and be served by! Have had breakfasts, lunches and even evening food here, all have been such spot on and creative dishes, always brilliant and well prepared. Look forward to our regular trips back and the continued activities!

Lovely place, good food and service

Had a Prosecco Afternoon Tea today to celebrate my husbands’ birthday (which was a surprise gift) and had a fantastic time. I booked via email and Nicola made the arrangements and took the menu choices. She asked if we were celebrating anything, so I mentioned it was for a birthday. Upon arrival the ladies had put balloons on the table and wished my husband a happy birthday. This was a lovely gesture and made the visit that bit more special. All the ladies were absolutely lovely and the food was gorgeous. Lovely homemade savouries and cakes 😋. They even surprised my husband with some chocolate cake with sparklers in. As we weren’t able to eat everything we was given boxes to take home what was left, so we can continue celebrating later. Thank you so much to all the wonderful staff for your kindness and we’ll be visiting you again soon. Nigel and Pam

By far one of the best pizzas I've had in the local area for a long time. 10 minutes wait from order to service.

Service was great, food was great and reasonably priced as well. The children's Afternoon Tea also went down really well! I'll be recommending it to my friends and will be back again if I'm in the area.

Fantastic friendly staff proactive within the community themed nights and events are very welcoming great for kids and pet friendly quality service provided from both the private hire events or a simple quick cuppa cake always welcoming with a relaxed atmosphere we love the home made cakes and there’s cracking cocktails too highly recommend a visit if you’ve not been before.

Nicely presented but did not listen when taking orders missing an item and my friend got what she had requested she didnt want and had to remove rock hard sausage and potatoe thing was tasteless shame lovely cafre

I recently hired the Nice and Naughty catering trailer for my 30th birthday festival party where Nicola and her team did not disappoint. Everyone loved the food, it went down a treat and really fitted into my festival themed party. Nicola was happy, friendly and helpful, the trailer was great and looked the part next to the band and fire pit. I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting a burger and hot dog trailer for their party, the prices were good and food was even better, there was a good variety available, along with vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options and Nicola brought extras just in case! Thank you again for helping make my festival birthday a hit.

We were all really impressed with the food, hospitality, cleanliness, attention to detail and kindness to our dogs! Thank you and will definitely be back when next in the area 😃

It was quite nice, but I thought the price was rather expensive. We had 2 cheese and onion toasties and tea for two. The bill came to £15.00, the ingredients were of cheap quality, white sliced bread, cheddar cheese and a small amount of chopped tomatoes and cucumber on the side. However the staff were friendly and the place appeared to be clean. There's a list of up and coming evening events on the wall which looked interesting. I would like to go back to try the evening food and entertainment. I didn't visit the toilet so not sure if a wheelchair would be able to manage?

Ordered 3 cheesecakes for my 70th birthday party. Absolutely superb. Looked great and tasted divine.thank you guys.

Thank you for our lovely lunch. Nice ploughmans and beans on toast and chips for the little man

Been in today and it was fab. Loved everything. All the girls were lovely and management could mot be more accommodating . Highly recommend this bistro bar and cafe. Going back tonight for quiz and cocktails.

This was our first time visiting The Bistro and what a fabulous experience we had. We were greeted as we entered by the incredibly welcoming Claire who, as luck would have it, also looked after us for the remainder of our visit. The atmosphere was welcoming and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble and every member of the Bistro team was happy to help, or answer any questions. The food and drinks menus are plentiful and offer a broad range of options for all tastes and fancies. We were also fortunate enough to meet Richard who was setting up for the Bistro's first karaoke night, which we sadly can't make, but we look forward to attending other karaoke nights in future. Richard took the time to chat with us, again, so friendly and welcoming and making us feel so valued. None of the Bistro team needed to take the time they took to speak with us, but they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and we were really rather humbled by the level of customer service we experienced. We'll definitely be back and hope to attend the poetry and music night coming up in May. If you haven't already, check out their evening events as there's something for everyone. Couldn't say more positive things about the place and the team. We have to give a big shout out to the lovely Claire though who delivers an exceptional level of customer service. It's very clear why she was the venue's staff member of the month for march. She's a fabulous at front of house and is an asset to the establishment. Thank you very much for having us Bistro team, we look forward to seeing you all soon.

The meals they had were well priced and were really nice. The place has been done up really nicely. Amazing to think it was a bath shop! Unfortunately here’s the bad but. I had a good meal but the only cakes on offer were all vegan. Which honestly were awful. I had never had a vegan cake before but bought 2 slices to take home for me and a family member who also agreed it was hard and stodgy. Maybe that’s how they are meant to taste but it was a shame no other cakes were available. I have since tried to go back 4 times because although the cake wasn’t great the food is good value and is quite nice. Unfortunately on all 4 occasions they have been closed even though online and even on there opening times on there window it stated they were open which is disappointing as it costs to travel only to be let down. I would in future phone up to make sure they are open.

Had an amazing afternoon tea from here last year, they were very accommodating. Also have been in since for lunch, cakes and drinks and every time has been perfect!

Just want to say a massive thank you to all of the members of staff at the Bistro. We had a friend's baby shower here and all of the team made such an effort to make it as special as possible we really appreciate it and it made for such a lovely event. thank you again and well done

Lovely place..service with a smile..food is excellent...they really looked after me Thank you from tiny x

Absolutely fantastic! Myself and 11 other girls booked for a hen do meal and I could not recommend this place any more than the below! When booking the staff were really helpful and went above and beyond to ensure that everything was accommodated for, including helping me to get decorations sent over and put up prior to our arrival. Clean, well laid out and decorated perfectly. Staff were amazing attentive and all round brilliant! Food! Yum, yum, yum! Loads to chose from to cater for all! Presented brilliantly and everything arrived promptly! It’s fair to say everyone was in a food coma and some even took puddings home for later! Lastly the price! The girls are as much as they wanted and also drank a fair amount too 😂 when it came to splitting the bill I had to make sure they had added everything up correctly as I was so shocked at how affordable it was, making it no issue to split 12 ways! Thank you to everyone who helped make organising this an absolute treat. 150% recommend and if ever I’m back in the area I will be returning! Thank you thank you thank you!

What a great place. Rang early today to ask about gluten free cakes.....one was freshly made (lemon drizzle and best I've tasted) - where else would do that?? Nice surroundings, friendly staff, good service, couldn't ask for more. The meals on the menu looked appetizing and all freshly cooked.. Lots of gf options too. Highly recommended....and thank you.

Absolutely amazing breakfast. Staff were so friendly and the bacon was out of this world. The price was good but quality and small touches were amazing. Noticed that it is a great place for children to eat and they have many deals on for children and kids eat free in the holidays. Just a shame we don’t live around here otherwise we would definitely be back.

Disappointing visit. Service (though not busy) so slow we had to cancel our 'afters' as had to leave.

Always friendly and we can take the dog, staff are friendly and helpful and welcoming x

Nicky made my daughter's 16th birthday cake recently. It looked and tasted amazing!!

Absolutely fabulous baby shower for our daughter today can’t thank Nicky, Tammi and team enough for all their hard work everything was homemade and tasty amazing and Nicky made a beautiful cake that was enjoyed by all can’t recommend this place enough

Stopped by for a Sunday lunch and was blown away with the service and quality of the food. Opted for the home made pie and it was just glorious with proper gravy too - real home cooked food that's well priced, what more could you ask for?!?!

I HAVE RETURNED! Lovely little cafe, lovely food and lovely staff. The food looked lovely on other people's plates and the food I ate was high standard. On a superb note, their speciality tea actually included loose leaf teas and not just tissanes as you find in most cafes. Visit 2: The staff were still lovely, kind and accommodating. The shop was clean and the food looked delicious - as always.

Nicola catered for my dad's wake this week. She was organised, friendly and very reasonably priced. The buffet selection was the best I have seen because it covered everybody's tastes ( vegan, vegetarian, various intolerances!) and there were lots of healthy options too. The feedback from the guests was overwhelmingly positive (one of them used the term lushiously lovely!). By the end of the event she felt like one of the family. Thank you so much Nicola.

Not sure how the full breakfast was all cooked so wrong but me and my mate ended up leaving over 80% of our food

Lovely little quant quirkie cafe homemade food fresh veg everday would recommend

Good food and nice friendly staff.

Reasonable prices, wide range of home cooked and @slimmingworld dishes. Welcoming and comfy surroundings, we'll be back😊

Nice latte and a fabulous tasty teacake. Spotless. A great little place

Absolutely banging ! Really friendly women, cooked my egg to perfection! all of the meals were top class! Tidy clean cafe amazing atmosphere best cafe in market rasen by far ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cold cafe cold food, would not recommend it at all

Delightful establishment with a very lovely, arty lady at the helm. It's a bit quirky and arty which I loved. The service was swift and the menu items delicious and piping hot on a very cold day which was perfect. The owner took delivery of new chairs whilst we were there... all individually painted in different bright colours...my style exactly! She also displays her artwork on the walks of the cafe, which was lovely too

Lovely lunch with friends. Food delicious as always 😊

An absolute gem of a place! Loved the fact they also do slimming friendly choices. Food was great, staff were lovely & prices were good. We went today in honour of my mums 2nd heavenly birthday & she would've loved it! Will definitely visit again 😃

Very good portions of lovely homemade food served in this friendly little restaurant.

I had my daughters birthday party here. It was such a great experience. The staff were all lovely and everything was so well organised. It was the best, stress free party. The children all had a fantastic time. I would highly recommend this place.

Great place, friendly staff,great food,cosy/chilled atmosphere ,would definitely recommend.Always there for the community,lending a hand,bringing everyone together.

After visiting one of Lincolnshire's 'top' tourist towns (Market Rasen) on an early Sunday afternoon and finding everything shut it was wonderful to find this establishment open, the staff were very helpful and friendly and it was a welcome refreshment in the middle of the heatwave. Keep up the good work.

Have now been a few times and always been. Happy with food and service. Staff are so friendly too.

Great welcome on a rainy day. Lovely panini with naughty apple pie and custard afterwards. Definitely recommend

Great lunch, great service and great atmosphere. The ploughman's platter was extremely good. Clearly the bistro takes pride in its homemade products. Chatty, friendly staff. Completely Covid-19 compliant. Fully recommended.

Great place to eat really friendly staff excellent menu

I ordered beef Wellington (small) for my 84 year old dad and said it was excellent he thoroughly enjoyed it. The delivery person was nice the meal lovely and hot.we would recommend this cafe to everyone

Fabulous food. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. Great atmosphere and resources for children to play with

Lovely place, great food and friendly. Their beer selection is also awesome and their tea is different and delicious I felt welcome right away and have been back many times during my short visit

My first experience was, 'why have'nt I made the effort of visiting Nice & Naughty Cafe before'. Staff were lovely and attentive and the service great. I liked that I was'nt rushed and there was a gap inbetween drinks and my meal arriving. The teddies on my table were fun and added to the atmosphere in the bistro. Food was great and I will definately be returning on a regular basis. Thumbs up from me 😊

Quaint & quirky. Lovely hosts & home cooked food

This place is great! The homemade dog biscuits were awesome Very very dog friendly

I used to live in Market Rasen I really rate the place

Good selection of food, friendly staff.

Saw this place though would give it a go, asked for a coffee which was made with a nescafe sachet and when I got it I had to stir the lumps out to be able to drink it. The food was so dry not very tasty. March hare would be a better option if you are in Market rasen.

Lovely food,no hassle.let you enjoy,no rush.

Great little place, lovely food and staff xxx

Lovely relaxing place, food is great and Nicky is an amazing lady. Will be seeing you again very soon xx

What a great find.... comfortable, clean and delicious home cooked food. Really enjoyed the home made bread and the air fried chips. Friendly staff. And even better.....dog friendly. Definitely worth a visit.
