The Dining Room at Washingborough Hall Country Hotel in North Kesteven

The dining room is very tastefully decorated. Breakfast has a wide range of choices and it’s up to you how small or big you go. Dinner menu is excellent, with several lovely choices and daily specials. The presentation and quality of food are excellent and very appetising. The staff can’t do enough for you. It has a love.y ambience. I can highly recommend this restaurant.

Visited for a (Covid delayed) Birthday lunch with a friend yesterday and all I can say is it was very nicely done, very nicely indeed. The staff were charming, the food was very tasty and arrived in good time. The setting and general atmosphere (bar a diner on a nearby table who kept making hideous screeching sounds by repeatedly moving his chair about without thinking to actually get up)! But at just over £80 including the tip, for 3 excellent courses (and a third desert), plus a couple of soft drinks each and a pot of tea/hot choc after, I thought this was very good value for money as well. So I would definitely go back - I just hope that “Mr Screech Chair” isn’t there when we do!

I took my mum and friend here to try the food before me and my partners wedding next month. The food was amazing, you can tell the menu is really well thought out and the flavour pairings were spot on. The chef clearly knows what they are doing! The portion sizes were perfect and each plate has so many elements that every bite is delicious! The service was perfect, down to them noticing the sun was in my eyes and without asking they closed the shutters until the sun moved. The staff were really attentive, friendly and professional. And lastly the setting is just beautiful! A perfect restaurant for a special occasion. You will not be disappointed! :)

Absolutely Perfect. The food was amazing and was only topped by the professional and friendly staff. We can't wait for our big day, I have no doubt Washingborough Hall Hotel will make it as special as it can possibly be. Lucy has a business model and team to be proud of. Dave and Donna

Delicious food with a twist - beautifully presented. Wine choices were good - something for everyone!

We ate from the A La Carte menu. The food was divine and the service excellent. We had a three year old with us and she was treated like a three year old should be! She loved it!

A visit to the marvellous Washy Hall is always a treat and afternoon tea yesterday was no exception. If you live in Lincolnshire we are very lucky to have such a well managed and well staffed Country House that we can all enjoy. The tea was sumptuous and plentiful with a traditional touch that was ideal to celebrate our anniversary.

Elegant dining room, very well spaced tables not obviously having to have made concessions to Covid: would not be surprised to hear it was always like this. Friendly, well trained efficient staff, would expect anything else? not always the case. Little things matter like the waitress who saw me look as though I might want something & shot over, again why should one appreciate that, well sometimes I think special training is given so that waiters are programmed to march from A-without distraction .The meal was excellent was excellent, interesting and well presented: I think the waitress mentioned that the chef had served at the Ritz which would not have surprised me.This restaurant and the Bronze Pig which I also reviewed put the icing on our weekend in Lincoln

First class - these guys have got it just right. Delicious food and friendly helpful staff go to any trouble to ensure a first class dining experience

We decided to book a last minute overnight stay with Evening Meal. The staff are excellent at this delightful Hotel, the food was amazing & we felt very safe with the policies which were in place.Thank you.

Eat out to Help out!We had a fantastic meal here on a Wednesday to participate in the govt scheme. It’s been great to try restaurants we haven’t tried before and we will definitely be returning to the Washingborough Hall hotel.The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful (one of us is gluten-free) and the food was absolutely delicious! We had the fish starter, steak main and chocolate dessert. I must say, the gluten free bread roll that was given to me before dinner was outstanding! Nicest one I’ve ever had and there is certainly a lot of horrid GF bread out there.Thank you for participating in the Eat Out to Help Out scheme and encouraging us to get out of the house for a meal. We feel totally safe and were thoroughly impressed by the level of service and the quality of the food.

Dinner in the dining room was excellent, it looked and tasted first class, the staff were friendly and attentive. Lovely fresh fish!

This is the best restaurant that we have eaten at. The staff, service and food are first class. Book a table and be amazed

I have said this before and I'll repeat myself. How lucky are we to have this gem in our village and so close to Lincoln for those that live there! It is perfectAfter several months of lockdown, it has now reopened and my wife and I went there for dinner last night, only its 2nd night open.Other than excellent Covid-19 precautions it is the same and as good as ever. Maybe even better as we've not been for so many months!Great surroundings, attentive staff and marvelous food. What else could you wish for?

We had booked Afternoon Tea at 12.30pm (most hotels do not commence Afternoon Tea service until much later, so to start service @ 12-noon is great) but unfortunately we were half-an-hour late, as our stupid Sat Nav continually directed us to the eastern by-pass around Lincoln, WHICH HAS NOT BEEN BUILT YET. However, the reception staff at the hotel were not in any way put out and could not have been more understanding, warm and welcoming. We were escorted to our table - YAAAY, spotless white tablecloths and linen napkins! - in a beautiful, warm room, overlooking the extensive gardens. The building itself is lovely: big enough to look 'special' but not so large as to appear impersonal or intimidating. The decor is traditional but quite light and airy and although I could possibly say that I have had a slightly better afternoon tea elsewhere, the afternoon tea was still very good and I could not gush enough about the service from all the waiters, waitress and reception staff - quite outstanding and absolutely faultless - friendly, smiling, polite without being obsequious, even better than the service at The Dorchester in Park Lane, Central London, which has always been my yardstick.Everywhere was spotlessly clean (without being clinical) and the ladies toilets were also luxurious and beautifully decorated.Overall an extraordinarily noteworthy occasion and although I am somewhat too long in the tooth to get married again and my 21st birthday is lost in the dim and distant mists of time, this is EXACTLY the venue I would choose to celebrate either or both of those events. Very highly recommended and my heartfelt thanks to all the staff for doing a fantastic job.

Had Dinner here on Friday evening, we had a drink in the bar where our order was taken, was taken to the table when the food was ready, the staff were very good and attentive, food was exceptional and the wine was good, we also stayed in the hotel for 2 nights but did not have breakfast, complements to the Chef.

We are here last night and I cannot praise it highly enough. The service was outstanding from the minute we were greeted at the door to the time we left. We had a drink in the bar before the meal and were served immediately. The waiter even brought us extra chairs as there were not enough for our party of ten. The meal itself was delicious and I would highly recommend the sticky toffee soufflé if you have room. At no time did we feel rushed and were able to enjoy our meal and relax afterwards without being hassled. The staff were attentive and helpful and even brought us extra chocolates on request! I would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning in the future .

Was recommended by a friend, Booked in 10 people for my 40th birthday. Staff gave us a table away from the rest of the diners so we could drink and enjoy the night. Food was wonderful, waited in lounge with drinks to be seated, soon as we were seated food came quickly, all orders were correct and delicious. really enjoyable night. Well worth having deserts as they were yummy.

This is the third year running we have taken our two rather fussy mums to Washingborough Hall for Xmas day and again we were not disappointed. The care and attention to detail the staff give is second to none with a special thanks to Rob and Lucy for their attention to our mums who loved it. From the canapies to the lunch and our table with white linen cloths to coffee in the lounge you cannot fault it. In fact it was so good we have already booked again for next year, well done to all the staff

We had a table of twenty. The food was served hot and was delicious. The only complaint was that my wife, who normally likes spicy food, found the soup too hot!

Great location, lovely warm ambience, excellent menu, superb service. The food is absolutely delicious. Beautifully presented and tastes amazing. We opted to dine in as we was staying in the hotel. Easier than finding another restaurant. So glad that we did. Well worth a visit. Highly recommend

Had table for 10. Food was served hot, well presented and tasted delicious. Waitresses very friendly and helpful. Food beautifully cooked too. Would return again.

I understand that the locals rate this place as somewhere for a “posh” dinner. The food is really very good: I’ve eaten 3 dinners and 4 breakfasts here in the last month and can’t fault a thing.

Interesting menu with dishes presented with style. My dietary needs were cared for when it came to the dessert course.

Our evening meal in the Dining Room was absolutely delicious, we both had 3 courses and all were amazing. The atmosphere was lovely and relaxing and the serving staff all friendly, so overall thoroughly enjoyable and great value for money.

Ourselves and 2 friends out for birthday lunch for my husbands 74th birthday today, our first visit to Washingborough.

Really nice meal and well prepared by a very competent chef. The choices were a little restricted but they made a special choice for my wife and it was perfect. Cannot fault the food experience and a good selection of wins at dinner.

Hotel is great and the food is exceptionally good. The prices compare very well with good restaurants elsewhere so well worth a visit. Special mention for the wonderful restaurant manager Rob who really makes the experience special. Go soon!!!

Having ate at michelin star establishments I can safely say this was equivalent and even topped them. They ordered halal beef in for us especially at our request with just 3 days notice. The service was especially special , very accommodating and friendly.

We have been to this fantastic Dining Room twice in 6 weeks. The first experience was sublime and we could not believe the superb level of service or the exquisite selection of edible comestibles. Top that with a wine list that offers great variety, affordability and unusual wines and you have a winning combination. Most notably though, if you like bittersweet chocolate souffles for dessert then this is the place for you. On our first visit they were the best I have ever tasted world wide (a very bold statement), the second visit proved it was not a fluke, they were just as eye poppingly good. It's a great place that makes you want to go back to relax and enjoy. On our second visit we ate in the Bar area because we took our well behaved Flat Coated Retriever Dogs. The Dogs loved it and the service and food were just as sublime. Another 5* rating which is unheard of plus its dog friendly. Utterly Superb

We had lunch at the Ritz earlier in the year, our meal here was up there with it if not better. Top marks!

I can’t recommend Washingborough Hall enough. The service and food was impeccable. We were a family of 5 with a wheelchair user and we were so well accommodated. We normally dine at the White Heart in the Bailgate for Mother’s Day and have done for years but fancied a change. Now having visited here we will definitely we back. Thank you very much

Thank you for an awesome meal and experience again tonight, the food the Service and the attention to detail Thank you so much

We had both an afternoon tea and then, the next day, a small reception here and the staff were fantastic in arranging it. The food was excellent and just the right amount, with only a small amount left over. The staff were attentive without being intrusive. I cannot recommend this place enough - thanks to all the staff.

My husband and I have been to Washingborough Hall several times,in fact we almost booked it for our daughters wedding several years ago.The dining room is formal,the tables are well spaced apart .At first the service was attentive,but a large party came in and had booked a private dining room.Thankfully we had been served with our starters and mains,but the as the dining room began to fill up service became slow and by the end stopped altogether.In fact a couple sitting near us had to ask several times where their meal was.

Visited the restaurant with the family for my father-in-laws 60th birthday. Both the hotel and the restaurant are beautiful and the food was exceptional! We will definitely be back again.

We had a fabulous evening meal with fresh vegetables, gorgeous tasting fish and steak. Which was followed by a trio of lemon infused deserts. Heavenly!

Everything we ate was delicious and although not cheap for the quality of the food it represented great value for money. Everything was obviously cooked with great skill and care. If you have the time (and calories to spare) try the scones at teatime served with lashings of cream and jam they are some of the best you will ever eat! This has to be one of the best restaurants in the area. We will be re visiting as soon as possible.

Elegant and warming setting for afternoon on Monday afternoon. Sisters and spouses we were welcomed by friendly attentive staff and were looked after very well. Lovely setting and a nice venue. Not crowded and spacious. Great choice of teas. 2 tiered cake stands with finger sandwiches, a small quiche, scones cream and jam plus 3 pieces of cake. Filling could not eat it all. Annual pilgrimage that we thoroughly enjoy especially the non rushed atmosphere.

We were a group of twenty two, and the service was very good, The food was good too, except that my duck terrine was a little dry,

Delicious meal and very good staff, back ground music could be a little louder to muffle the sound of staff walking in and out.

All the meals we had whilst staying at this hotel were of the highest standard. Great care was taking in the presentation and selection of ingredients.

¡Qué maravilloso restaurante! Desde el momento en que llegamos, todo fue perfecto: un personal amable y acogedor, un entorno cómodo y bellamente decorado. Las mesas están bien espaciadas, odio sentirme abarrotada en un restaurante. El menú era tranquilizadoramente pequeño, pero era tan difícil de elegir ya que todo era increíblemente tentador. Servicio impecable y comida fabulosa. ¿Qué más se puede pedir? Sin reservas.

Sumptuous food served within a lovely room by excellent staff Had the sea bass and crab starter which was gorgeous. The lamb rack for main which was lovely especially with a lamb tart. Pudding was heavenly would thoroughly recommend to all for a treat

Stayed a night and had evening meal in restaurant, staff very professional and the food lived up to expectations, small menu, but presented well and tasted delicious. Would definitely visit again rise were in the area.

The Dining Room Restaurant at Washingborough Hall is certainly worth a visit. Our evening started with a very relaxed drink in the lounge bar before going into a very well presented restaurant. Both food and service was second to none. Lincolnshire has a few hidden gems, one of them being Washingborough Hall. I would highly recommend a visit.

I was impressed right from the booking as I was asked about any food allergies as I booked. When we arrived they remembered what I had said and staff knew the menu well enough to be able to say that I was fine with my food choices. Every course had about 4 options and all sounded wonderful. The starter of duck was excellent. We all finished everything on our plates. The raspberry souffle made a lovely, light dessert. Staff were attentive but didn't hover round the table. This is a fantastic place for a special dinner.

We were staying overnight and booked dinner here, prior to arriving I requested boiled potatoes due to a dietary issue and this was already noted by the polite and efficient waiter Bob, who also had a good sense of humour.All 3 courses were excellent and presented in a manner that we enjoyed in Mitchelin starred establishments that we have previously dined in. I would eat here again in a heartbeat and would try the other dishes on offer.

Ate outside and enjoyed wonderful haddock and a very generous cheese board. The staff were attentive and pleasantly informal. I also thought it was brilliant value.

What a lovely experience, the selection of sandwiches was just to my taste as i am far more of a savoury person. However the initial starter was the most light Cheese and Chive soufflé, it was slight warm and totally delicious. the sandwich filling were equally lovely especially the chicken, lemon and basil mayonnaise, certainly a filling i will be using at home. I also don't drink tea or coffee so was offered an option of a glass of prosecco, who could say no! the little cakes were certainly well received by my husband who certainly does have a sweet tooth. Rhubarb baleful tarts, Passionfruit Macaroons , Chocolate and lime eclairs and a Salted Caramel Brownie. Of course there were the obligatory scones with Cream and Jam, but my only slight disappointment was that the clotted cream didn't have the usual sticky crusty edge that only clotted cream has. I must stress that this did not distract from the overall effect. The staff were so helpful and chatty and the entire experience was excellent

The afternoon tea was excellent. Only reason could not give 5* was service errors such as tea with no milk provided and had to leave table to find someone to get it. The hotel is set in lovely grounds and is somewhere I would stay and use again.

The passion of Lacy made the whole difference . It started with the warm welcoming staff the minute we parked our Morgan. Followed by the one and only Gin Tonic with orange zest and a leaf of thyme . The Ceviche of crab, the beef ,the trout , the passion fruit soufflé ... it was a symphony. We recommend it blindly , we will for sure come again and again.

Food and service excellent, see review of hotel. Lovely ambience and a great experience. All courses tasty and well presented, Thank you.

Went to this beautiful hotel for a pre booked sunday lunch and from the minute i arrived the staff were friendly always smiling willing to help and all dressed very smart. We were seated near the restaurant where we ordered drinks were given the menu to order from and then seated where upon your starters were brought out and I was not disappointed I had beetroot with goats cheese could easily have licked the plate. Mains were slow cooked beef with plenty of vegetables again so nice and seasoned well. Had the cheese board to finish. I must admit this is one of the best meals I have ever had. So compliments to the hard working chefs well done. Throughout the meal the staff made you feel special and nothing was a problem. They were all very professional and all knew what they were doing so again well done and many thanks. Cannot wait to come and visit again

Stayed for a romantic 45th wedding anniversary (ours! , yes, it can happen, with arthritic limitations).

Experienced chefs produce consistently high quality locally sourced food for lunch, dinner or special events! Plenty of local support as well as visitors.

We chose to eat in the dining room whilst staying at this hotel, rather than going in to Lincoln and we are so pleased we did for the following reasons:

Have just spent a wonderful couple of hours having lunch with family at this rather special place. The staff are attentive but not overly so, they look after you very well. The food is delicious, the portions are more than enough, the wine and drinks are superb. The Hall was beautifully decorated for the festive season.I would recommend this hotel very highly. It is worth it just for the relaxing atmosphere.

Family get together at New Year, comfortable surroundings, friendly and helpful service, lovely food. We were the last table in for lunch but absolutely did not feel rushed to leave. Would we go again, absolutely we would.

The wedding breakfast was exceptional. Everything was beautifully presented and delicious. Then - next morning - a robust and restorative full English breakfast for the bleary-eyed wedding guests. It was all deeply impressive.

There were 23 of us but the food was served quickly and was delicious. The staff coped very well and provided an enjoyable occasion for all.

Stayed in Lincoln but ventured out here for dinner and it was worth the trip. Had a wonderful meal. Service was excellent. I would highly recommend a meal here.

We had a company dinner the choice was wonderful and they accommodated people with food allergies, vegans and vegetarians without hesitation. All the food was of a very high standard and the service was excellent

My wife and i were visiting friends in Washingborough and went here for a meal. The place brought back fantastic memories as we were married here in 2000, the last visit there was 2005, the place was lovely then but it is better now, a fantastic upgrade.

We celebrated a family birthday here and had a wonderful time. Gorgeous interior, beautifully decorated with a roaring fire! Very welcoming and helpful staff, nothing was too much trouble. The food was absolutely delicious and the service in the dining room was fantastic. Would highly recommend for special occasions.

We both had- the fillet steak, which was very nicely cooked and served with potato dauphinoise, cauliflower purée and roast vegetables-chocolate and raspberry fondant served with salted caramel ice creamWe really enjoyed the food and the service was very warm and friendly. The dining room itself is very pleasant. Two courses, water and a bottle of malbec cane to about £80, which we thought was very reasonable.

Excellent food, excellent service and, for the set lunch menu, at a very reasonable price.The whole place has a lovely feel to it and is set in a lovely location. Highly recommended.

We were staying at 'Washy Hall' and so it made sense to try the restaurant. The menu had lots of things going for it - an interesting range of dishes and not too many. I really do not like menus with 10 or more dishes offered for each course. The Washy Hall menu had four starters and five main courses - just enough to be interesting but not so many that food was in microwave mode!Between the four of us we tried three of the starters on offer - all were excellent and I would have been happy to eat any of them. Three of our group had the venison for main. The taster I had confirmed the meat was beautifully tender and well cooked. I had the rack of lamb - lovely. I liked it that the waiter came and asked how we liked our meat cooked. This was food prepared for us.Sorry we never got to try the sweets - too full but they did look really good!We were also pleased with our wine - a not over priced Primitivo. It was nice to see a wine list which included a decent range of wines in the £20- £25 bracket ( as well as some more expensive ones).Our waiter was also charming and happy to help. I would happily return to eat at Washingborough Hall - a delightful restaurant.

I had dinner one evening and can highly recommend the chicken and avacado burger. I was lucky enough to stay overnight and sampled the full English breakfast. And as expexted it was very good. The staff are excellent too.

Dined here the evening that we stayed over. The food was mid range in terms of price and was really good. The service was excellent and the staff all lovely. There was a 10% service charge added to all food bills, but it does mention this on the menu, and you can have it removed if you wish.

Had a disappointing lunch here a year ago, but visited again last week and had a most delicious meal served mainly by a wonderful gentleman called Bob. The chicken terrine was tender and flavoured beautifully with herbs, the roast pork was perfectly cooked, and the stuffing was the best I've tasted ever. I was full by this time but tempted by the crumble and custard - a lovely meal, thank you.

Beautiful place to stay,friendly,clean,good size room and beautiful food, we couldn't fault this hotel. We will return.

My mum and dad brought myself and husband Champain afternoon tea for our 1st weeding annerversary was just perfect! Amazing setting staff very friendly Was a lovely afternoon a real treat!! Thanks washingborough hall we loved it!

This is the second time we have been, it wasn't as special as last time due to a large group event being on which detracted from the special ambience as staff were extremely busy and some of the guests rowdy but it was still a lovely experience and to rate less than five would be an injustice. I would definitely recommend. They try very hard to make your meal special, with extra touches that I won't give away but please try it and hopefully you won't be disappointed!

We live close by used to come regularly. I can safely say that this will be the last time we will come here! The food is very poor without seasoning, care and attention. It is blatantly obvious that the chef here cares only for the one he knocks off as not one dish was conceived with flavour in mind! Nondish showed any interest in the guest let alone the ingredients used. The salmon starter lacked any flavour and was dry, the duck had been carved with the grain making a cheap piece of meat even tougher and the pudding was a disgrace! This whole experience with poor wine was utterly overpriced too and their service charge was a further insult to injury after a terrible meal! We were also only given the a la carte menu though we were surrounded by people in the dining room eating from the bar menu. I don't approve of this practice though their food looked infinitely better! For a refined dining experience this place has no qualities and should be avoided at all costs! To save this place the chef simply just be sacked and someone hired who wants to celebrate the flavours of Lincolnshire and cares for the diner!

Myself & 3 friends met up for Afternoon Tea here after being recommended & we were not disappointed. We were shown to the lounge until we all arrived which was relaxing & comfortable & when we were all present we were shown to our table in the dining room. Our table was spacious & beautifully set out. A very helpful waiter took our order & helped us with all of the lovely types of tea offered & brought us a well needed jug of water as it was a warm day. We didn't have to wait long before the waiter & another lovely lady brought our stands of delights. My sister is pescatarian & she had her own stand all to herself! The food was delightful & the best thing was how unusual it was. Not your normal boring sandwiches & victoria sandwich cake but delicious trout scotch eggs....3 different finger sandwiches including chicken & avacado.....houmous.....ham & mango chutney etc. The scones were lovely..warm with lip smacking jam & lashings of double cream whilst the chocolate cupcake with raspberry cream, gooseberry fool with shortbread & small whilte chocolate & fruit tart were all to die for! It all made for a first class afternoon. We were left alone except for refreshing our tea & water etc, which showed excellent attention & service. We had giggles as we all kept forgetting to use the tea strainer for our tea & had to fish out the leaves !!! I had the Orange Pekoe Tea which was very refreshing & unusual. For £19.95 per person it was excellent value & we will return soon. Congratulations 'Washingborough Hall' on showing how afternoon tea should be done....2nd only to Claridges !!

In the run-up to our daughter's wedding in April 2017 we decided to have Sunday Lunch in the WHH Dining Room Restaurant with all the family and we were really taken with it. The food and wine selection are outstanding, very good value, and the staff are very friendly with a focus on attention to detail . We have been back on 3 occasions now, including for evening meals too, (one being the amazing wedding these guys gave us for which we will be forever in their debt), and we would recommend it to anyone.

Absolutely first class would like to kidnap the chef. Perfectly presented the ambience was wonderful the views over the front lawn and the doves gave it that special feel . Please try it

We ate here on two days whilst staying in the hotel. Do not eat anywhere else as the food is top class well deserving of their AA rosettes. A fairly short menu of 4 starters and 4 mains but the brasserie menu is also available with choices of either menu. Well priced wine menu. Three courses, large portions and bottle of champagne worked out at £65 per head. Afternoon tea was very popular although we did not indulge.

What a picturesque site driving down towards Washingborough Hall. The grounds were beautifully kept. Upon entering the hall the décor was tastefully done and within keeping, the hotel was lovely and clean, our room was stunning, extremely comfortable containing a large 4 poster bed with an amazing bath. When we walked into the hotel we were met by the most beautiful aroma of peonies, roses and stocks. All the floral arrangements had been assembled by the florist - a male member of staff. The staff were so helpful and friendly, they catered for all our needs. Walking into the dining room took my breath away. This whole room was beautifully decorated, the tables were attractively set out, with floral decorations on each table. The food was fabulous, the wedding breakfast menu consisted of pate on toast, sausage and mash, a medley of deserts, followed by tea, coffee and home made fudge - all delicious, all beautifully cooked and very well presented. Later on in the evening an hog roast - smelt good, but sorry was not able to eat due to being so full from eating earlier. All the evening guests commented on how good and tasty the hog roast was. The following morning there was a large party of us for breakfast which was also delicious - cereals, fruit and yogurts, full English, with homemade bread toasted with numerous preserves, orange juice, with plenty of tea and coffee. I really want to thank the wedding planner Aimee, the chef, the florist and all the staff who made my son and daughter-in-law's wedding a most memorable occasion. I most definitely can recommend Washingborough Hall for a wedding, or any special occasion celebration or just for a lovely relaxing mid-week/ weekend break, you will not be disappointed.

When you live in Washingborough, or indeed anywhere within at least 10 miles, why would you ever go anywhere else? The quality of the food, service and surroundings coupled with very friendly staff always make a visit very special. Well done Lucy, Ed, Mark and all the staff and long may this continue.

Could not get booked for Sunday lunch so went a la carte in the evening. The food was excellent and tasty. Great selection of gins as well wine selection. The hotel knew it was a birthday treat and made up a chic plate for her.

We enjoyed a excellent Sunday lunch at this superior restaurant. Service was a very high standard made all the more pleasant by the comfortable surroundings of this period hotel. The menu offers four lunch options. The car park was filled with Bentley, Porch and Jaguar cars, indicating the menu and service provided attracts a discerning client. Expect to pay a premium for this dining experience.

The restaurant is split into two , the big area which was used for big parties and the smaller room which I was sitting , very pleasant with very reasonable prices . Good value for money .

Four of us went for Sunday lunch. The food very good, well presented, and just enough choice. The surroundings are beautiful and the decor has been done very tastefully. The staff are attentive without being intrusive. Will definitely go again was well worth the hours journey

Hosted 36. The food was fabulous and help and support from staff putting menu together and accommodating late menu changes was fantastic

Very poorly from eating a half pink undercooked sausage very poor shower pressure worst looking presented full English ever! If you fall for it and order it you will see large deep fried mushroom raw fatty sausage half of cheap salad grilled tomato and a caged hen egg. You will see.

I have eaten several times in this restaurant and generally it has been a pleasant experience. However, we had a big family & friends celebration on 2nd October 2016 and we booked tables at the restaurant months and months in advance, as the date of the meal was important to us.To our upset & disgust the hall telephoned to cancel the reservation (and another table) in preference of a wedding fayre. I was told, without an apology that "the hall can cancel tables at any time and it is common for restaurants to do this although Washingborough try not to do it too often"! So beware, if you book a table well in advance for a special meal, and the hotel gets a better offer, such as a wedding / christening etc which requires the whole hall, then your reservation is likely to be cancelled. If you want to secure your table then the only way to do this is to pay for the private room. Living locally, during the quieter week days we attend ladies luncheons, local groups, committee meetings, AGM's etc at the Hall. Therefore I feel disappointed to be treated in this manner when we have supported the Hall for many years as it grew from a small hotel into a grand Wedding venue. It is a shame. We will not visit again.

One of 28 for dinner from Washingborough Tennis Club. Excellent venue, excellent service and excellent food. Why would we go anywhere else for our annual club dinner? You should try it too!

Lovely building and grounds. I've been here a few times before for weddings and always enjoyed the ambience and food.Came for afternoon tea with my mum and mother in law. Sorry this is late I don't use TripAdvisor much.The service was mediocre to be honest. Not good and not particularly bad. They just didn't seem to care much. But polite. They didn't check on us and I had to go to the reception and bar to order more drinks a few times. Whereas at other places they tend to check on you and offer table service throughout. It wasn't busy. It was a Tuesday or Wednesday with 6 others having afternoon tea also.The food was under par compared to other places where i have had afternoon tea. Quite uninspiring, which is a shame for such a grand looking place.This could have great potential if the staff cared a little more and if there was a little flair or something special about the afternoon tea itself.I would return but would not necessarily recommend to others.Best wishes
