The Cosy Club - Stamford in South Kesteven

Nice place to have food or drinks. Variety of coctels in a nice and cosy environment

Lots of room and food is well priced

Really lovely atmosphere and food is incredible! Staff went above and beyond and really friendly. Definitely recommend

Nestled in the heart of Stamford, Lincolnshire, Cosy Club Stamford offers a distinctive dining experience that seamlessly blends historical charm with contemporary flair.

Popped in on a cold day, very pleasantly surprised at how good it was! First time for us and we will be back, the food was really good and the service excellent.

Absolutely beautiful place to stop by, food was Amazing! Definitely would recommend!!

Great location, lovely atmosphere and really good service Highly recommend when having a day trip to Stamford

Lovely food, great service and a nice space. Definitely going back!

Had a lovely lunch here today - Asian Chicken Salad with a green smoothie. Nice atmosphere. The only down side was that when we arrived we were told there was a 10 minute wait and we could get a drink. A bit confusing as there were plenty of empty tables . We waited longer than 10 minutes and when another couple walked in and were seated immediately I asked why we were still waiting, and we were taken to one of the empty tables straight away! No apology though and we’d been waiting ages. Still the food was good!

Nice place, let down by the steak!

Lovely lunch today and very busy Club sandwiches were a bit on the sparse side but still lovely The rest of the food was good Our server was really helpful

Amazing food! Incredible atmosphere. The aubergine tagine was out of this world. Linda was super helpful and really friendly. Highly recommended

Excellent alternative Lunch, well cooked and well presented

Amazing place in the heart of beautiful Stamford. Amazing vibe, decor and feel to the place. Great leisure with old style sofas and chairs and very rustic front room feel. Good food and good service recommended visit

Really enjoyed our lunch today and Wednesdee was a most delightful waitress. And the food was great 👍

Had a lovely brunch in a calm atmosphere ☺️

This is a nice venue with a kitsch vibe

Visited for my daughter’s 21st birthday brunch….fantastic venue with top service from Linda and lily 😀 food and cocktails were fantastic

Fabulous service at The Cosy Club Stamford. Food was delicious and came quickly. It was a pleasure to dine here! Plenty of vegetarian choices.

Always great service here and a lovely breakfast menu.

Wonderful place in Stamford. Cosy is a good description. Service was excellent.

Great atmosphere and customer service

Rather cosy indeed. It reminds me of some clubs in London. We sat in a cosy corner. It was busy evening but we had our privacy.

Called in for Brunch and really enjoyed the food. Nice place with cool decor and staff are friendly. Dogs are welcome in the bar area, a good selection of Hot, cold and alcoholic drinks available.

Came here to celebrate a Birthday. Everything was spot on. The food was hot and delicious, the staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was great. Even though it was really busy you could still have a conversation and hear what people were saying!

Had a lovely Birthday Lunch, Chris who served us was lovely. Got a lovely birthday drink on the house and a candle in my pudding 😁😁

Look no further! Best place for a gorgeous brunch in a cool cosy vibe setting. The staff are exceptional always making me feel valued and can’t do enough to help make an enjoyable experience

I have been to several of these and always enjoy eating there. This was no exception. Despite the early opening for breakfast, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Always excellent. Good food nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Dogs welcome. Even at busy times service is reasonably quick.

Never been and having heard people recommend here I wasn't impressed. Honestly hate doing bad reviews but the food was not very good, I'm also not someone to send food back as not saying they would but you never know what happens. We went for a family birthday meal and everyone choose there meals. My partner is gluten intolerant so meals can be difficult to get decent food. We shared a pork belly and safe to say we had 4 pieces to shard between 2 for nearly £10. I expected more pieces for something that was labled sharer and the bits were fatty and gristle rather than any meat at all. We then had our main and the gluten free burger looked in my opinion bland, dry and burnt. Which my partner told me it was bland and burnt. (Understand non gluten food can be difficult to make). Also ordered sweet potato fries instead of fries which they got wrong, however they were quick to rectify but with burnt sweet potato fries. My chicken burger wasn't burnt but it felt like there was too many fillings, sauces and veg inside and too over baring with so many flavours. Chips were very good but the slaw that comes with it tasteless and bland. Our Son had maccaroni and cheese which he enjoyed apart from the garlic bread was a little too done and very herby for a child. We did ask for a refund on the gluten free meal which was given and can't complain at that, the staff were apologetic and appreciated that. The reason not sending food back is as said above about returning it and not knowing. Also we don't like being those people when everyone else is eating returning food and causing a scene. So choose not too. With this being said the customer service was good. Got a refund for burnt food. Staff were apologetic and helpful. Believe manager came over at the end and apologised which was nice but feel I'll avoid as paying that price for food which we didnt like isn't great especially with cost of everything going up.

Visited the Cosy Club in Stamford for the first time today. We had a great time’ cannot fault it. The food was amazing and the staff were really friendly. Sean who looked after us even found us a table when it was really busy after we turned up early. Will definitely be goin back.

Visited again in August after how.good food was in March. Had dinner twice and again food, service and atmosphere was perfect. Highly recommend

Seated quite quickly but wasnt sure whether to order at bar or table. At the table it turned out. Food very fresh ,four adults four different choices from the menu -were happy to take out components not liked by one diner.a bit on the pricey side. The atmosphere was lovely fairly busy but chilled. Good to see only veggie options weren’t veggie burgers,chilli or curry. Worth going back for that alone. Toilets were upstairs not sure whether there is a toilet downstairs for less abled.

Very cool place to eat and have some drinks, definitely recommend

Our first visit to a party in the mess, didn't realise how big the Cosy Club is, will definitely go back.

Lovely place this. Had the club burger with onion rings as a side and it might have been one of the best I've had. It was lush. Service was excellent and price was pretty reasonable to be honest...happy all round with everything. Would 100% come back and will come back.

Group meal there very friendly staff. Going back at Christmas

It was a Monday evening, so there weren't too many people in there, but we had 2 lovely waitresses serving our table of 12. Food was good. Had a great night.

Apparently you need to book to eat here, even though the place was half empty on arrival this afternoon ? Sat to wait at the bar but the server never came back to us , so obviously we left ..I’d rather have a straight No than bump up your bar sales ..Stamford has enough good pubs for that ! Complete waste of our time..

Had dinner with my daughter and it was such a lovely experience. Friendly staff, very cool interior and great food! We had a salad and a vegan burger. So good!! Highly recommend and can’t wait to return.

Brilliant place, long islands and margaritas are beautiful

Enjoyed fathers day lunch here today. The service provided was impeccable how refreshing to have a totally engaged and attentive lady taking our order with a smile! Would certainly recommend and will absolutely visit again.

Well seems nice on entry but the drink prices are extortionate, and I had a Burger and fries which really was awful, the bun was not for a burger, the actual burger was tasteless and quite frankly I won't be going again.

Great food, great value cocktails on the 2 for £12.95. Staff were excellent. Overall a brilliant date night out and great value

I run a weekly drawing club at this venue and the staff are always very welcoming. The venue looks great and the food is very nice too.

Great size place lots seats shame there isn't any outside for hot days but the drinks are good quality and and taste good especially the cocktails.

Typical Cosy Club so you know what you’re getting. Almost empty mid morning but we were still asked to order at the bar. Food was good rather than anything special. We’d certainly call in again - but there’s a lot of competition in Stamford.

We had 3 different meals here during our weekend stay in Stamford. The food, atmosphere and service was great on each occasion. The vegan burger was delicious 😋

We enjoyed a great lunchtime meal, very pleasant staff. Great surroundings.

Meet up with some friends. Lovely meal, nice fresh ingredients and brilliant service.

Beautiful building and decor. Great atmosphere. Sometimes service is a little slow but they are always fairly busy. Good choice of food, drinks and cocktails and a great place for a party/get together.

We went there for lunch as part of a short visit in the area. The food was delicious and very well presented and the staff was nice and friendly. They were very kind and flexible with us having our dogs despite our puppy being vocal at times… the place is full of character and I definitely recommend it if you are in Stamford!

Staff and food are always incredible

Food was a disaster. Poor quality and took 30 minutes to replace it . Garbage 🗑

What a disappointment! Largely the food ... in brief (as I wont be back anytime soon ...) With 2 guests, I spent £ 86 on Mains portions (all 3) that were small; Condiments / sauce portions that were also small and one not what I wanted (asked for French mustard, was given English without explanation). My main, a House beef burger, was tepid. The accompanying red onion was picked and stringy. Chips were nice but again little portions. This was hidden in a cone shaped paper holder ... and served in a metal jug at least twice the size so you did'nt see it. The olives portion on a small plate was quite hard and 'stone in'. Ugh. The bread small plate looked good but half the crusts were very hard. The butter was served on a piece of greaseproof paper tasted Ok. But it looked like it had just come out of a microwave and was all runny. The appearance was as if rancid. Ugh. The chocolate with caramel desert was missing the salt - it tasted Ok when salt addI wont say any more other than ... that there was no farewell greeting as we left, despite us not complaining ... I didnt want to upset my 2 guests as I had invited them. Sufficient to say, I wont be going back as Stamford has nicer places with better food at a comparable price.

Food quite pricey and small portions.. wouldn't really visit again

Terrible service, the place was empty and the staff ignored ua

Nice varied menu. Great service despite being busy.

Went here for Mother's day with my wife's parents. We arrived first and were shown to the table. Because the in-laws were running late, they looked at the online menu and ordered what they wanted. When the food arrived, the mother's in-laws salad had cheese on it, which she can't eat. The meal was swapped out with the same thing minus the cheese at no extra cost even after we said it was our fault, they even gave us a free refill of drinks. Customer service was one of the best experiences

We have been coming here for a long time and I've noticed the last few visits that things have just started to go downhill rapidly. The service has become diabolical. 5:00 p.m. extremely quiet plenty of staff we must have sat there for 15 minutes at least before anybody came over at all. Nobody else is if we wanted a drink some water was brought to the table. Just went straight to ordering food because nobody asked as if we actually wanted a drink and the manager said did we want some olives. Sure. 25 minutes later when no olives had turned up and still nobody had bothered to offer other drink I cancelled the olives and said where's the actual food? 20 seconds later the food appeared dried out because it obviously been stood there for some time as the staff are all too busy talking to each other to bother to serve the customers anymore. Dried out burgers are not tasty. Anyway this place needs a new management team quickly it used to be amazing and we've been going for well over five years. Is totally lost its spark in atmosphere and the staff have become extremely well trained at customer eye contact avoidance. Stamford is a vibram place and there are plenty of other options available

The Cosy Club is a beautiful venue with a great atmosphere. The staff are lovely and service was 100% as good as you could expect.

Great meal, good service and nice relaxed location. Lots of GF options available on a separate menu

Thursday 28th March 2024 lunch. Mixed feelings. We usually enjoy the food here and the atmosphere but we were very disappointed by the Sesame Salmon. It was dry and shoddily presented for the price...£18.

We have just returned home from a weekend in Stamford. We ate breakfast here twice and dinner one evening. The food and service was exemplary! The quality of the food was incredible and the Seabass was the best I have ever had. Our waitress Aimee on the first evening was perfect! Very attentive and because of the food and service we returned the following morning to have breakfast where we were looked after by Szandra. What a lovely human? We enjoyed chatting to her and once again the service was incredible. So good that on the morning of our final day we decided to return once more for breakfast. I highly recommend the food here.

Food was very nice!! Had quite a long wait to be asked what we wanted to order after being seated and it wasn't that busy........

I’ve waited a while to post this review as I feel I’m being a bit harsh on some of the food. Overall the experience was really good, the staff were great and everything went smoothly. Buttermilk chicken was more of a breaded chicken escalope. It was perfectly nice, but not really what was expected. The rest of the meals were all nice - overall we were happy.

Food and service has really taken a down turn recently.

Good service great food 👍👍👍that's all I ask for

Really great food, great selection inckud8ng for vegetarians and vegans and all very tasty! Service is good occasionally a little slow, but very friendly and polite. The atmosphere is nice but it is very open plan and loud, some booths would be nice.

Chewy meat, dirty cutlery, cracked and chipped glassware.

Great decor, service, and menu.

Nice spot for some brunch , we have been a few times. Warm , light and airy dining room and old building ( I think the post office sorting office) good staff

OMG, so glad I have finally been to a cosy club for the first time. And what a way to start of the newly found chain for me. The decor is just amazing, the cocktails are lush and to top it all, our dogs were allowed in the bar area. Service was great too. Looking forward to going to the one near us (Norwich) now, but also looking forward to returning to this one when we return to Stamford

The staff were really nice. Food came quickly.

Thank you for this special evening! We came to the Cosy Club for a drinks, had 2 starters and 2 desserts. It was an absolutely amazing experience, I mentioned to our waiter it was my birthday, I got a birthday Prosseco and a candle on my dessert. The starters were amazing. Again, thank you for this experience!

Been to the Cosy Club in Leicester many times and have always been a fan. This was our first experience of the Stamford one and it did not disappoint. Just love the vibrant atmosphere of these places. Great interior design, nice clientelle, good service, good food and for us, we were with good company. Great evening had and would definitely return, and probably shall.

Came here for the first time, me and my fiancé have just bought a house and wanted to scout out some places to take our families when they visit. Gave me the same vibe from a restaurant at home so really loved it. The place was heaving but the bar was separate from the eating part so you didn’t have people clambering past while you were enjoying food. Would really recommend, 10/10

Took 5 grandchildren in for ice cream and 3 adults for coffee.... above £30!!! It was lovely to sit down and rest after a 4 mile hike, but terribly expensive for 3 x 2 scoops and 2 x 1 scoop!

I love Cosy Club. ❤️ Always like to come to this place.

I go in here when I’m in town, which is less frequent nowadays and it’s usually pretty good. However today I was sold and served a coffee without a word being uttered by the server, which is as impressive as it is poor. The coincidence is we walked by another place and considered going in but decided to stick to what we know. So on balance I recommend the cosy club in Stamford but I do think today’s visit was odd to say the least.

Very disappointing visit today after some previously good trips here. Used to be one of our favourite places to eat but we will skip in future and head to the many other lovely eateries in beautiful Stamford. The garden brunch was underwhelming with burnt rosti in tiny square cubes and 3 tiny cherry tomatoes with an ice cream scoop size of what they called crushed avocados and minted peas. A few beans in a very small ramekin and 1 small egg made it feel paltry. The duck confit at a costly for what it was 17.95 was really poor value coming with a few butter beans and tomatoey sauce with chorizo but didn’t come with anything else. I had to order some bread to make it a meal of any substance at an extra 4.45 and expected more for the price. The club sandwiches with chicken were loaded with mayo that left a cloying taste that wasn’t the best experience. Whilst we appreciate food and labour costs have risen hugely it feels compared to their previous menus that the food quality and volume has been scrimped. A chilly day outside - if it is when you visit wear something warm as it was cold inside. The bathrooms are looking tired and need a lick of paint and a clean - especially in the ladies round the sinks and hand drier. Won’t be rushing back which is a shame.

Lovely venue good service But food not brilliant. Potato Rositti so dry and the maple belly pork and bacon bit dark. Wish I had returned it now

Booked a table for a late breakfast, decor is nice, quite traditional, suits the town. Where the tables for food are placed is rather cold though, perhaps due to the skylight above or there was a draft. Overall the service was slow. We waited nearly ten minutes till we could order anything. First thing everyone wants of course is a coffee, they took half an hour! There’s one coffee machine at the bar and looked like 2 people manning it. When we wanted an extra coffee later we were told there’d be quite a wait as there was a backlog. The place was nowhere near full either. They need to sort this out. Get more coffee machines and people who can bang them out. 30 mins for 2 coffees is ridiculous. We had a selection of the breakfasts. By the time it arrived we were starving. The portions are a bit mean but spread out on a big plate. The signature breakfast had 2 bacon rashers, almost burnt to a crisp. They were blackened and shattered when I put my fork on it. Not good. There was only one sausage, one egg, 2 cherry tomatoes, one mushroom, a little pot of baked beans and a small piece of toast. Quite a mean portion for nearly £11 I think. I was really looking forward to a breakfast out in Stamford but I wouldn’t come back here again. It wasn’t good value for money, wasn’t cooked well and was a small portion, plus the immense waiting time. Get more staff. Get more coffee machines, don’t burn breakfast, increase the portion sizes.

I ate chicken, bacon and avocado salad which was really delicious. We had dinner and drinks. The driver with us had a non alcoholic cocktail which was made with fresh ingredients. The service was quick and efficient. The staff were welcoming and friendly. My husband even got a free birthday glass of Prosecco! A relaxed and happy atmosphere, busy and friendly. We have been many times and will return!

They didn’t let my children access the washrooms even after ordering drinks service was biased and not adequate.

Lovely staff bacon to die for pancakes were out of this world definitely coming again

Food was better than the last visit,however, still expensive, and the whole place needs a face-lift. The walls need upgrading ,the decor changing and the radiator in the men's toilet is still rusty. Although everyone enjoyed, personally the idea of being in the dark in a very poor decor environment does not inspire.

Booked on a whim having seen other good reviews. Really lovely space - service, food & atmosphere all lived up to other reviews. Sad it's taken us this long to try but will definitely return

Can not fault this place , a party of 12 including 2 coeliacs, 1 egg allergy, 1 vegetarian. Detail to allergens was fantastic. Waiter was great. Thank you for a lovely time x

I have been to the cosy club several times. It offers a good range of vegan/ vegetarian food. The atmosphere and staff are always pleasant.

Noisy cavernous crèche, couldn’t hear myself think with the sound of screaming small children. Service was extremely slow, expect to be repeatedly ignored whilst standing at the bar, clearly not enough staff assigned to serving. The only saving grace is that they serve Hofmeister on draft.

A super meal thank you at the cosy club . First time here and we will be back.. we didn’t have a booking but were welcomed and looked after so well, special thank you to Isla our waitress who was so friendly and helpful, and very smiley. x

Me and my family went here for dinner and we loved it so much. The food was really tasty and the service was great, the waiting time was a few minutes. The place is really cozy and clean. 5/5 would recommend.

Amazing service from Cat and Curt and a big thank you to Lelde for making sure we got a table as they were very busy! We had the Turkey pie which I’d recommend to all, it’s Christmas in a pie!!! Fab cocktails from the bar staff too, a perfect pre christmas night out

Little pricey for basically a fish finger sandwich but the service and atmosphere was very good

Great lunch with friends. Food was delicious and much needed. Staff friendly and attentive. Was quite busy for a lunchtime , but that's because of the season.

Very friendly, great service, good food. Very busy so quite noisy but it is December and I was happy to be part of a thriving atmosphere. Nice to see families with young children enjoying lunch out.

When you turn the union flag around to the correct orientation, I'll bump the review to 5 stars. Great place otherwise.

Beautiful evening spent at the Cosey Club with family. The atmosphere was great, staff were so attentative and food quality was excellent.

Food was excellent with a short time from ordering to delivery. Couldn't fault the food.
