The food is to my liking full of flavour. We recently went there for a birthday treat. The Parma ham starter was excellent full of flavour and nicely plated up. The main course was fillet of beef cooked to perfection and the sauce was 10/10 for me.

Amazing food, coupled with great service. Beef underdone imo and not hot. Rest was brilliant. Starter not needed. Expensive but you get what you pay for.

Every course out of this world. Steaks cooked exactly how we like it and other courses surpassed everything we’ve ever had locally. The service was its usual high standard and the entertainment provided by CH Hatt was exceptional and gave everyone the perfect atmosphere for Valentine’s Day!

My daughter move to Cranwell a few weeks ago, she had a Sunday lunch and said "Dad when you come over we must go" last (27/1) Saturday we did, with the hype you always have room for disappointment - NOT on this occasion. we were received with a smile and welcome and asked if we wanted a drink at the bar or straight to the table, off to our table we went, we were located to the rear of the building in an area that was either new or freshly renovated. drinks were served promptly by friendly waitress who did care. we opted for two starters - Ham hock and the soup (both spot on tasty and filling) then The Salmon, Venison and Sirloin, The salmon was beautifully presented and very tasty, Venison equally so and the Sirloin was one of the most flavoursome steaks i have had in a long tome, each mouthful a pleasure. deserts of Artisan cheese and Crem brulee absolutely top draw, especially the blue cheese. all in all a really good evening - good company and great food. Every time i visit we will be booking The Bustard inn.

We first visited in September 2023 and had a great meal, staff are attentive, friendly, professionally and welcoming. The food is incredibly good, and when speaking to Lesley about coming back for Sunday lunch, which we finally managed to get around to this afternoon I had high expectations and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Can’t wait to come back soon! Thank you again to the team, always a lovely experience and the food is exceptional.

I was treated to a visit to The Bustard Inn by a friend who had been raving about the food. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a smile by Lesley and the whole team before promptly being shown to our table with a drink already in our hands. We had pre-ordered the 3 course Christmas lunch and we couldn't have been happier with our choice! Not only was it fantastic value, the food was delicious, well presented and quick to come out. This was easily the best meal I have had in Lincolnshire and am eager to visit again very soon! Thanks to all the staff for making us feel so welcome.

Been here a few times and had a lovely meal, nice staff and good portions. However, went to Christmas quiz night with a curry and to say there wasn’t enough food is an understatement. 5 bits of chicken breast in a sauce with no flavour - a naan bread the size of a mini American style pancake and a couple mouthfuls of rice. Then they had the cheek to charge £4 for a tiny bowl of chips! With 4 people in our party - the chaps were still hungry and we had 4 extra portions of chips… didn’t know they would cost £16! Quiz was great fun - but would I be back - no - not for that price and portion size - really shocked me.

What an amazing meal. From the warmth of the greeting to the attentive staff to the perfect food. I had pre advised of an allergy and was immediately advised,on being presented the menu, of what contained chilli. There was a fab choice with meat and vegetarian options. It’s been a while since we have visited but can definitely recommend.

We were celebrating my wife's new job and we had a great evening. Menu had a few things we both liked so choosing was easy! Wine list was varied with some more interesting wines, also by the glass which is good to find. Portions are large so don't eat anything before you go... Service was really excellent, made the evening for us, fast enough but never rushed and also knowledgeable. They forgot my wife's parsnips, so they were scrubbed from the bill despite being a huge portion when they arrived! I'd recommend very highly

Grrat communication throughout! Lesley provided us with friendly & fun service and managed to help me out to make sure everyone got the right food quickly. The food was delicious and all hot despite how many different meals were being plated and served. The pub itself is in a beautiful setting with ample parking and was immaculate. We had a fantastic experience here and it started our wedding celebrations off in a really warm, friendly and exciting way! Thank you!

Wow After my previous disappointment elsewhere this was a lovely experience. It's no wonder they have recently won their second rosette and they should win Best Lincolnshire Restaurant.... you will vote for them once you enjoy their excellent cuisine. The wine list is brilliant with suggestions to match food choices which work. As for the food I enjoyed a beautifully balanced pan fried garlic and chilli prawn dish pico de gallop with favacado puree and homemade cornbread - perfect - followed by poached halibut, ratte potatoes, sauted spinach and samphire, pickled cucumber, capers and nut brown butter. The cheese board was excellent and the deconstructed pana cotta with sorbet was unexpected but lovely. Not cheap but fine dining in smart tastefully designed surroundings. A gastro village pub supreme. The staff are great and the manager is friendly and fully committed to the special product she is rightly proud to present. Can't wait to return - it's a real gem!

Great menu and well presented - we had selection of starters and sides - all of which were excellent. Real ale well conditioned and perfect temperature. Having frequented most south Lincolnshire pubs/restaurants - I would say The Bustard Inn is probably the best in its league. Needless to say we will be going back and recommending to friends and family.

We recently returned here for our annual wedding anniversary meal having got married there 3 years previously. Lesley is the most wonderful, friendly host, as are all the staff but the food is the real star of the show here. The new menu is just...

The food was delicious, tasty and beautifully presented. Friendly staff and a gorgeous setting. We cannot decide what we enjoyed the most - starters, mains or sweets ….

We had a delicious meal with local produce with a group of friends a few weeks ago and the food was absolutely fantastic! Not only great food but also great wine, one of the best glasses of White Wine I've had. I would highly recommend...

I went to the Bustard Inn for the first time recently and all i can say is WOW. The food was amazing, along with the service. The wood pigeon was delicious and my steak was cooked to perfection. Not forgetting the white chocolate dessert. Great...

Very good dining, exceptional service. Above all a really nice blend of smart dining but in a really relaxed setting. They’ve achieved a really good balance between making a visit feel special but without making it too formal, i.e: you’re very much able to relax...

The building is lovely and the staff were relatively friendly, however despite looking forward to dining here for a little while, we were unfortunately disappointed. We we seated without menus and asked what we wanted to drink without having a chance to look at the...

The building is lovely, the interior beautiful. The menu is quite pared down but that’s usually a good sign and we weren’t disappointed. They use seasonal ingredients, from quality suppliers with recipes designed by skilful chefs. The staff were very welcoming and the food was...

Really quirky pub with a wonderful seasonal menu. Limited options and on the higher end price wise, but all cooked perfectly and totally worth it! I had the Lamb and Coffee Cake and it really was a taste sensation. The thing that topped the experience...

White Hart Innlocation-iconHigh Street, Metheringham, Lincoln LN4 3DZ EnglandOther cuisines

This was our first visit to the White Hart Inn. The menu is limited at the moment as they are just getting up and running after the government restrictions. However the Coach house burger is highly recommended and was one of the burgers I have ever had. The food was extremely well cooked. And nicely presented. If we were to visit metheringham again I would definitely be returning to the White Hart Inn. Totally recommend.

We had read all the good reviews, so had high hopes. We phoned ahead to ask if they did takeaway, which they said they did. Decided to go over and order and play pool while we waited - what a mistake! The owner was eating her dinner in the middle of the pool table area and was clearly very irritated to be disturbed. The man went off to cook our food, but had to keep asking her how to do things. Each question was greeted with a heavy sigh and the cutlery slammed down, until she eventually said "I may as well just eat my dinner when it's gone cold". We were made to feel a nuisance and very unwelcome - why didn't they just say "Sorry, not tonight" when we phoned to ask if they did takeaway? The food was barely warm and very average - like supermarket ready meals. We were staying in the area for a week, but we didn't go back.

We came across this Cafe while on a long leisure Bike ride, we had no intention of food until we saw it and it tempted us to call by. My partner popped in make sure we could sit by the window so we could keep an eye on the bikes outside, the lady was very accommodating and very welcoming. First impressions great and a lovely touch on the menus with a slogan of something like no strangers there, just friends, I really liked that. The menu was very good with plenty of choice and pricing as most similar establishments. Very clean place with a warm, friendly atmosphere. I work within customer service industry, and this place is spot on with customer service, superb, quick, super friendly !! A few locals were in at the same time and how nice to see such friendly service on first name terms, we didn’t feel out of place or anything, from entering to leaving, we felt welcomed and comfortable. We ordered two cooked breakfasts and two pots of tea, the lady asked us if we would like mugs or pots so we said whichever…. We received mugs and how nice to receive a good sized mug, Some cafes you get such a small size mug, I must say this place you get quality aswell as quantity, The breakfasts arrived and how delicious they looked!! The Boston sausage was to die for, first time trying it and it was bursting with flavour, so delicious. I can honestly say we will be back sometime in the future, we will probably plan a bike ride again in the area just so we can visit hahaha Thank you for such a great breakfast and service, Highly recommended

The Red Lionlocation-iconNewtonOther cuisines

First time visit. My wife's birthday (don't ask!) family meal, 7 adults, 3 children. Very pleasant country pub, with a high quality function room, and pleasant garden. Staff friendly and efficient, good service.It's difficult to judge the quality of all the cooking based solely on a carvery, the meat (choice of 3, bit of each if you like) was tasty and warm, excellent range of veg, homemade Yorkshires, good , hot gravy. Who could ask for more! Noted that the manager was well organised, with each table taken to the carvery room, so that here were no long queues, which can be annoying. A few of us had dessert which they enjoyed and the kids of course loved ice cream. A kind gesture was that at the end of the meal my wife was presented with a special dessert platter with Happy Birthday written in fruit sauce. A nice touch. Previous reviews said it was difficult to find- NOT SO! Good signage off the A52 and then clear directions in t.he village
