The Brownlow Arms in South Kesteven

Been once before and the standard was even higher! Such great food and friendly welcome - we’re be going back deffo Lorraine runs a truly special place Recommended 100%

Visited for a second time to celebrate our anniversary and everything was as we had expected. First class food and service. We decided to stay overnight this time and the room was warm, comfortable and tastefully decorated. I don’t think we have stayed anywhere that provides as many choices of tea / coffee in the room and the provision of fresh milk in a small fridge was much appreciated.Dinner and drinks service was quiet and efficient, food choices are sufficient to cover most peoples’ requirements and was superb in taste / presentation. When staying overnight you can look forward to a breakfast of equal quality to the dinner service, again served with a friendly smile, what’s not to like, I think we will have to visit at a similar time each year from now.

Plainly a dining venue rather than a wet pub, we had a great meal here whist visiting my 92 year old mother, who lives locally. Food was excellent - plenty of finesse but neatly married to a generous outlook on portion size. The flavour combinations were unusual and interesting - lamb scotch eggs were just as intriguing and lip-smacking as they sounded. The assiette of pork too was marvellous. The combination of the two meant that I was well and truly beaten when it came to the dessert menu. Pricing was fair, service was attentive and charming, delivery was speedy and the ambience and decor/furnishings were smart, if slightly formal. Perfect for a grand-motherly occasion. Many thanks - we would certainly recommend a visit to The Brownlow Arms and hope to be able to follow our own advice 'ere long.

This was our second trip to the brownlow arms for Sunday lunch. Although a little more expensive it is worth every penny. A beautiful setting, lovely dining room and friendly staff. The cheese soufflé starter was to die for, and the roast loin of pork with all the trimmings was cooked to perfection. Beautiful presentation and piping hot. Can’t wait for our next visit!

My wife and I went for Sunday lunch and I can honestly say that it was spectaulaly good ,probably the best Sunday lunch we've ever had, from the moment we arrived we were greeted by a lovely lady who guided us to the lovely bar area where we sat and looked through the delicious menu, the decor is delightful and the the staff were welcoming and informative. Our table was prepared with beautiful clean crisp cotton table linen and super comfortable chairs , the waiting staff were attentive but not intrusive and the food presentation was on point and professional, at times I had to remind myself that the place is a pub not a Michelin starred restaurant such is the standard, it has a lovely ambience too. The food was absolutely delicious and very generous portions . I cant wait to go back if I'm honest ! Thank you so much for a fantastic experience.

Visited for Sunday lunch with absolutely no expectations as was booked by family but was throughly enjoyable from the moment stepped foot inside. Each member of the team was very attentive (but in a very natural way). We visited with my children (6yrs and 3yrs), it was so nice they were spoken too directly, made them feel special (if you haven’t got kids this is rarer than you perhaps think!). Food and drink was excellent, perhaps best lunch had in years…and that poacher soufflé, not stopped thinking about it. Rebooked for my birthday next month, can’t wait. Well done.

Wonderful 4th wedding anniversary meal, beautiful food, excellent service and thank for for the extra anniversary treat. Loved every moment

We attended for dinner, starters pleasant, mains pleasant, dessert pleasant. Coffee was also pleasant

Pure Magic! walking up the steps outside , then entering , into a magical , environment , everything is perfect, the ambience , decor , the music , the staff are so friendly and attentive. The owner , attention to detail and very hardworking to ensure the whole experience is unforgettable, and it is ... and we keep reserving a table regularly .. The food, is mouth watering , presentation a work of art, the tables are beautifully laid and spaced out perfectly .. I dont go anywhere else now with my partner as , i go out for the total experience , and its here , only here you get that .

Great place to visit and quality food Service team all need more training.. also a uniform or appropriate clothing to suit the restaurant. Perhaps to show the customer that they are being served would help. Not pouring wine or offering water for the table seems to lessen the value on the prices charged. Throw it on the table Ieave you to it then .. wine not shown to the table. Just left to be poured.. no presentation at all . Food was delicious and adequate with reasonable portions, though dessert somewhat expensive Just the finesse of a quality “waited on” service is missing in my opinion The check “is everything ok ?” Was way too late in the meal .. too late by then anyway Owner is very friendly and welcoming and makes an effort to make sure of a welcoming smile. Restaurant is not a cheap place and after we hat must be 20-30 years toilets need an clean and an update

Lovely country hotel / restaurant. The Brownlow arms is a charming country inn with comfortable rooms. The owner / manageress Loraine could not have been more helpful. The breakfast was very nice. I had the yoghurt with berries followed by scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. Tea, coffee and fruit juice with lovely fresh toast. We didn't eat in the restaurant as we had other plans but the menu looked very good and locals rave about the food. All in all a very good stay.

We’ve eaten at the Brownlow Arms very happily on previous occasions. And once again the food was excellent, really good. Unfortunately the current receptionist and waiting staff need educating in how to look after their customers: more caring and less brusqueness would be appreciated, please. And we’ve never been called “darling” ever before in what purports to be an upmarket eating house. Must do better

Underwhelming really, came here expecting great things, and it was nice, don’t get me wrong, but nothing special? Certainly not as nice as other places around here. Strange one really. Not sure why this is rated so highly.

We went for sunday lunch food and service excellent It was very busy booking essential We have previously been for dinner and really enjoyed it Portions were good none of us could eat a dessert

If your heart lifts when you see a white material napkin and they bring delicious bread and butter then you will love this place. It is traditional and the staff are welcoming but the setting is beautiful and I could park right outside. I had a wonderful haddock chowder drizzled with basil oil and sprinkled with chives. My second course was a twice baked cheese souffle and it was utterly delicious. They would have served it as a main with veggies but it was perfect for me just as it was. My partner had a pate with a marmalade style addition and two tiny oatcakes. His main course was a Belton suet pudding which was a large portion but kindly had very thin pastry. We also had a bottle of New Zealand sauvignon blanc which oozed gooseberries. We would have loved the cheese board but I was full and it was time to get him back for his train.

superb food all 3 courses were very good and beautifully presented great ambiance and very atmosperic nice heated terrace great for the summer nights very welcoming from Lorraine and super attentive service from Michael definatly will be back when in the area highly recommended

From start to finish everything was lovelyThe twice baked poached cheese soufflé was absolutely delicious. My husband had the soup, also very good.We followed with Sea Bream and Shoulder ofpork. All the flavours were incredible.Hubbie has a selection of cheeses and I had some Petit Fours with Coffee.Presentation excellent, staff were happy and helpful but not intrusive. We were well looked after.The only thing I wouldMention is with thepetit fours it would have been nice to know what they were, either on the menu or by the waiting staff.Excellent meal and service. We couldn’t haven’t asked for better. Thank you soMuch.

Generally good. Food was mixed, charge Michelin prices but quality not up to same level. Dessert was small. Charged £7.95 for Eton mess but consisted of 1/4 scoop of sorbet, slice of strawberry teaspoon of cream and a mini meringue. Thought they had mad a mistake and given small version but they hadn’t. Felt a little embarrassed but had to send back. Kind of spoilt end of meal but refused to accept that portion size/quality for what they were charging. Service was generally good, thought a little strange how wine was put on table and not offered to taste (cork bottle) or poured for us.

Beautifully decorated restaurant having style and elegance. The staff are very well trained and all show a cheerful manner, both efficient and knowledgeable. The wines compliment the small, but varied menu. The food was absolutely delicious and served hot where necessary. The prices reflected the quality.We would go out of our way to revisit this establishment and maybe stay in one of their attractive rooms.

Visited on a Saturday and had an excellent meal, so much so we came back the following week quality food, expensive but you get what you pay for, good service .

We wanted somewhere special to celebrate our anniversary and boy this really hit the spot. Exquisite restaurant,excellent food and friendly service. Would have liked a bigger table but not a huge problem. The chef and his/her team are to be complimented.

This was our third visit to the Brownlow Arms and it was by far the poorest experience - perhaps down to Covid but regardless - people choose to go here as its one of the nicer dining experiences so suitable for an occasion. On the whole the food was OK but overall uninspiring. The dressed crab had plenty of shell in it and really needed some toast or something crunchier (other than the shell!) to provide some texture. It was also very under seasoned. Main Courses were good but again under seasoned.I was given the wrong menu for dessert and the chocolate tart came with pistachio ice cream rather than the milk ice cream as advertised. On the whole the desserts were tasty.The petit fours also arrived a good 15mins after the coffee.

Fab meal at The Brownlow arms celebrating a 60th Birthday! Lovely food, lovely wine and most importantly lovely company 🥰 Also nice and clean!

The food was very good but the service was poor. The main courses had to be returned as they were cold due to the time it took for the vegetables to arrive. The meals had to be plated again and delivered with fresh vegetables. The time it then took for the desserts to arrive seemed to be explained by the realisation of the staff to their absence from the table and appeared to react to this oversight.

Came for drinks in the lovely courtyard which has been well thought out with heaters at every table. Great service from Lorraine and her team with the addition of a new cocktail menu. Blankets available if required but we were lucky as the sun came out for us. Can't wait to come back for dinner indoors in a couple of weeks.

So accommodating and welcoming! Made it a really special occasion. And the food is gorgeous. 5 star !!!

We have to admit that we have a personal reason for our first visit to the Brownlow Arms, our son is the pastry chef there and we are so proud of what he has achieved. But wow! what an evening, it was superb. We were met on entrance by host Lorraine whom explained how service would be conducted and how the bathroom system worked. After checking our temperatures she took us to our table. All of the very friendly staff took full precautions during service giving us a full sense of safety during the meal. As for the meal, the amuse bouche of Wild Mushroom Toastie and Cider Braised Chorizo were delicious. My starter of Citrus Cured Trout was amazing and my wife's Game Terrine was so tender. I had always wanted to try Calves Liver and I couldn't have chosen a better time to taste it, the liver was delicate and sauce perfectly accompanied by delicious mash and vegetables. I have never tasted so tender a Pheasant Breast as my wife had and thoroughly enjoyed. From our point of view the desserts topped off the meal superbly with the Chocolate Nemesis with Peanut Butter Ice-cream for myself and my wife delighting in the Caramelised White Chocolate Mousse . The Brownlow Arms is highly recommended and fully deserves to retain their 2 rosette rating with the AA and I look forward to further accolades, not to mention more visits.

This is the fourth time we have eaten at the Brownlow Arms and have had different dishes on each visit - all fabulous. Hard to pull out individual dishes as they are so varied and each of them come alive with their own flavours.Our visit last night was with some friends, one looking for vegan options who emailed ahead asking of availability. As a result a separate bespoke menu (with choices per course) was provided when we were seated at our table - so lovely rather than just a ‘one meal’ option.Our wine (Malbec) was really smooth and was rightly left on our table in the current social climate so we could serve ourselves, as were the meals delivered within suitable distance. It was a busy Saturday evening but as our drinks were delivered promptly it enabled us to catch up with our friends without friendly nudges to order - the time flew by. This is a pub where you can dress up or be smart casual and make your evening a special occasion. It’s old English style and decor inside makes it a cosy and welcoming stone-built traditional British pub. We’ll definitely be back - such a friendly team running it and Lorraine, the owner really cares about not only her customers, whilst remembering the small detail, but also her team who we’ve seen her make time for each of them at the end of the evening before they head home.

Visited for a birthday dinnerLincolnshire Poacher Souffle starters were excellent.Followed by Sirloin Steak and the Lamb Rump.Desserts were Eton Mess and Stilton and Eccles Cake.Food was great, it was a warm evening and we enjoyed a couple of drinks outside before taking our table. Service was attentive and friendly. Afterwards we retired to our room.Full English Breakfast with Tea, Coffee and Juice in the morning was excellent.Will be back again on another special occasion.

I had read the rave reviews and menu for the Brownlow arms and had immediately marked it as a must visit. My parents were visiting the area and, being restaurant owners for almost 40 years themselves, I decided this was the ideal place to take them. We ate on a Saturday evening and the establishment appeared busy and the atmosphere was as expected for a Saturday evening. The decor was a quaint country pub and very comfortable.We ordered water and wine which was just put on the table, no one poured this, so eventually we did it for ourselves. We ordered our starters and mains and yet 50 minutes later we still had not received any food - luckily we had ordered extra bread to tide us over. Coming from the industry, I understand that Saturday night's cna be busy and waiting times longer, however no one had warned us of this at ordering, or at any point during our wait. Eventually when the starters did arrive, we were somewhat disappointed. Personally, I had ordered the scallop starter (emphasis on the singular). I have no complaints paying £10.75 for a scallops starter, but would expect more than one scallop! However the scallop was well cooked. The others in my party complained their souffle and terrine were tasteless. The souffle was also poorly presented, simply in a soup bowl - it defeats the entire purpose of double baked souffle being initially baked in a ramekin, tipped out and re-baked unsupported. No point during the starters or on clearing, did a member of staff ask if everything was ok with our meal.When mains arrived, I was much more impressed with my lamb. It was cooked absolutely perfectly and I particularly enjoyed the garlic pesto. One member of my party had the sea bream which was over-cooked and dry with more potatoes than anything else on the plate. Again, we were not asked if everything was ok with our meal at any point.For dessert I opted for the classic sticky toffee pudding which was presented poorly in what I would call a chinese rise bowl. The cake was dense and chewy and the home made ice cream was somewhat flavourless. The members of my party who had the brownie and the bakewell sponge also complained that their desserts were underwhelming and did not hit the decadent notes you crave from a good dessert.Overall, I desperately wanted to enjoy this experience as the menu is everything I love about classic British food and I would have happily ordered anything off the menu. There is clearly potential in the establishment, however, I feel they are trying too hard without the ability to back it up. I understand the establishment is in a position between country pub and restraurant but it is marketed as restaurant on their website and the prices are akin to a restaurant, therefore I do not think it is too much to expect that the service and overall experience match the price and advertising. The staff members were all pleasant but there was no continuity and therefore I felt we were forgotten outside of the service and clearing of plates. I also felt they lacked some of the basic service skills such as pouring drinks and asking if everything is ok.From experience, I understand any eatery can have off days and maybe we were unfortunate to have a bad experience. If this is the case then maybe I would consider re-visiting, however I would be hesitant to spend over £200 again for a meal where I left feeling underwhelmed and disappointed.

Loved every bit of the Brownlow experience, hospitality second-to-none. Will be back and recommend this to anyone travelling from London up the A1 -- take a detour, it's worth it.

I have had several meals at the Brown low arms, all of which have been very good until this one.We were a party of 7with a 2pm booking.This I feel had an effect on the delivery and quality of the courses served to us. I booked several wks in advance therefore not a walk in.The starters were not presented well with no garnish,the roast meals were good but there was no stuffing available,which we did accept,the veg was hit and miss what looked liked what was left in the kitchen and some of us had nice roast pots,others not so good and minute.the most disappointing were the deserts.3 of us orderd the crumble,all i can say is appalling,should never have left the kitchen.the topping was raw porridge oats,all were sent back.Unfortunately serving food like that has lost you further custom and recomendation. No management came to apologise, all too busy clearing away and resetting tables.certainly wont return.

Great little place . Clean with lovely staff. If your looking for a little break away this is the place. Food is amazing too

2 couples had a delightful evening of food and wine My wife is celiac but the staff and chef were excellent The tempura prawns with garlic and chilli sauce were amazing also the chateaubriand my wife had the duck which was superb and the lamb as cutlets and a small shepherds pie was great a touch on the expensive side but in my opinion worth it We had a cote de Rhône very good value but the Picpoul de Pinet at nearly £28 was very expensive we will be back

We go here for Sunday lunch about 4 or 5 times a year. Best in the area by far. Lorraine and the team are great. Always a nice 20 minutes in the bar for a drink and then the food, menu and service are excellent.Went today in the middle of Storm Ciara to find no electricity. However we still.had a fantastic welcome, great food by candlelight, you would never have known anything was wrong. Well done to Lorraine and all the team.

Despite there being no power and it being a particularly miserable day we had a lovely sunday lunch today. Neither myself or my partner are usually very keen on pub roast dinners but this one was lovely and we both enjoyed it thoroughly.The staff were well humoured despite the challenges of today.

Lovely restaurant but bar area not big enough felt awkward standing and trying to view the menu, we did eventually get seated by lovely log fire which was nice. Food was ok but had better locally and not so pricey. Was disappointed as we were looking forward to this meal a treat from our daughter, feel safe to say wont be heading back there anytime soon.

On the 27th Dec we were going to our usual garden centre restaurant at Belton. But it was closed! We drove towards towards Lincoln and came across the Brownlow Arms. What a find!! We went into the crowded bar and said we wanted a light lunch.. No problem they said .. everyone around us was eating 3 course lunches. 2 of us had sandwiches I had a rissotto. The other had a great homemade soup. All food was served by very friendly staff and of great quality. Well done. From a delighted customer.

Lovely old building with a lovely ambiance and very friendly staff. excellent food and wine. What more can you ask?

Great evening, lovely ambiance, terrific food with attentive and fantastic staff, what more can we say.

Food was good and the service was as well. But it’s not cheap, possibly a bit pricey. Decor is nice, Comfortable seating.

A get-together / lunch with friends. The service was perfect and food to match. A big dish of mussels as a starter was an incredible sight and taste - both appear to still remain in my husband's memory! A lovely and peaceful setting and we were able to catch up with all the gossip - just wonderful and we'll be back in the not too distant future. Well done and thank you to your team - keep up the good work.

Lovely rooms, spacious and tastefully decorated. Clean bathroom. Dinner for 12 of us, great service and usual high standard of food. Will be back.

The Sunday lunch is absolutely amazing! Reasonable prices, as you would expect for such nice food and surroundings. Roaring fire in the bar and absolutely lovely interiors. Really impressed with the food every time we go.

We booked the Brownlow Arms as a recommendation from a friend who had visited for Valentines. I am so thankful that we booked as this was such a beautiful place.

The best restaurant in the county by far, nothing else like it in the area and always absolutely delicious. The value is in the quality of the food and surroundings. If you want good food, in a lovely place this is perfect.

Met some friends here for Sunday Lunch, always a treat, and yesterday was no different. Usually have the beef but had the local Gelston lamb for a change,absolutley beautiful ! Thank you Lorraine,Paul,Ruaridh and teams for a wonderful Sunday lunch!

I booked online - The Brownlow Arms confirmed by email, but that got bounced back ... so they took the trouble to ring me to confirm the reservation. great customer service!

What a fabulous place, I was greeted with a warm friendly smile and shown to my room.

An amazing culinary experience, I personally rate this as the top venue to eat in Lincolnshire and was not disappointed. Not only is the menu amazing the staff were very helpful and very attentive.

Whilst the village is “somewhat out of the way” the quality of the service, food and decor are up there with some of the best establishments we have visited. Very efficient from our arrival to final service and the food for me was excellent, all served with a smile by a small but efficient team. The menu choice covers most elements and if the set menu matches the a la Carter for quality then it would be very good value, the wine list again covers all tastes and budgets. What is fortunate is that we are within quite easy distance to travel so without doubt we will make a return visit.

Meal was not worth the money we went with a family of 4 and got the same amount of food as someone with a family as 2. The potato’s where heated up and the beef came out half uncooked. We also sat and waited for an hour and the amount of meat the kids got was awful.

I often go to Brownlow’s Sunday lunch as they lay Chelsea style tables which i like to eat at i may be Particular but it is better to eat a Lovely Dinner off a nicely laid table and i am sure many older people do

We booked to stay here through booking.com at their supposedly reduced rate of £130 per night for a deluxe double room. The inn accommodated an early check in as we were attending a wedding in the afternoon. The room (3) was decorated in a French Revolution style, it was medium sized and very quiet. There was a double bed, that was reasonably comfortable, but had a very heavy winter quilt on it, we slept for 4 hours maximum as it was just too hot. The room was let down by one corner of the ceiling near the door, which was visibly damp and looked as though it was coming away from the wall

The restaurant is lovely and the service is good we eat out regularly I just felt there was something lacking in the atmosphere a meet and greet front of house I think would improve the over all experience

We thoroughly enjoyed the seafood linguine which had an excellent coating sauce. My only reservation would be to read the bill carefully. Two people had ordered sandwiches, one of which included chips but we were charged £3 extra for chips in addition. I would also be careful of 'Small Water' as it cost £2.50. On the other hand I ordered two halves of the Tim Taylor beer which cost £4.26 with a pint costing £4.25 so no mark up on ordering halves which is unusual but very welcome

Great atmosphere in a restored 17th century inn in a rural village somewhat off the beaten track, sympathetically decorated and furnished. Excellent service, menu full of interesting choices plus Sunday favourites, prepared on site by a talented kitchen staff. I would need to try the a la carte menu too give 5 stars, so a good excuse to return.

We spent the weekend here and enjoyed two lovely meals in the beautiful restaurant. The period pub is amazingly well maintained and set in a lovely peaceful location.

This is a lovely restaurant, and we have been a few times, but on our recent visit we were disappointed. My partner booked this for a birthday meal, it was quiet in the restaurant with only a few tables taken. The ambiance was lovely as usual, the food however was not. We shared bread & olives to start which was fine but the main meals one of lamb the other pork belly were pretty mediocre. The pork was completely black underneath & very fatty in the middle (I understand that this cut of pork is fatty but i've had much nicer pieces) The lamb again was not the best.The sweets were just ok expensive for what you get.

We had a beautiful Sunday lunch at The Brownlow Arms. The wait staff were prompt, polite and unobtrusive, the food was glorious (I chose the pork as a main) for all of us, and desserts matched. I don't understand why the Brownlow doesn't have a Michelin star when the Pipe and Glass near Beverley does, as the Brownlow is far superior.

Although only around 10 miles from Newark, Grantham and Sleaford, the picturesque village of Hough-on-the-Hill is not somewhere you are likely to be 'just passing', so a trip to the Brownlow Arms is a 'destination visit' down narrow country roads.

This was not our first visit and once again, we enjoyed our stay immensely. The room was superb as was our dinner and breakfast. The staff are friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be back!

Had an excellent meal, good choice of food on offer and a nice atmosphere and lovely decor. Would be perfect for a special night,

Whenever we have friends round and don't want to cook, we book a table here. This is our 'go to' restaurant of choice and, after dining here on numerous occasions, have yet to be disappointed.

Stunning Sunday lunch , served by lovely staff at a reasonable price . Nothing to fault , beautiful food , beautiful dining room. I had goats cheese as a starter followed by plaice and pud of rhubarb crumble all which was divine. My parter had prawns in batter followed by roast beef and pud creme brûlée , all which she said were gorgeous .

A warm welcome. Excellent quality and presentation of food. A beautiful village. The only slight disappointment was the lack of dining tables in the bar area.

We go here for Sunday lunch about 4 or 5 times a year. Best in the area by far. Lorraine and the team are great. Always a nice 20 minutes in the bar for a drink and then the food, menu and service are excellent.

excellent menu with good hearty food well cooked and very well presented. Would highly recommend . Breakfast was superb also

My review says it all ! We booked well in advance for our drive back from York. This was Sunday lunch , British style , with all as it should be! Friendly well run service ,good menu of Well cooked and presented British food . the lamb and Beef were both excellent .
