The Fine Food store in South Kesteven

There’s an argument that you shouldn’t recommend good place as next time you come there are no free tables. Saying that the bacon sandwich was the best I have had in a long time and the pancakes fresh and cooked to perfection. We’ll be back!

The breakfasts were excellent beautifully cooked using great produce, the best cooked breakfast we all have had in a long time. The staff were very friendly and happy to do some ‘swaps’ with the breakfast items. We would all definitely recommend this hidden gem. It was so good we immediately booked for the following day. Thank you.

We came back to Fine Foods for an afternoon tea treat with my lovely Mum and they did not disappoint! Delicious sandwiches, served with a smoked salmon belini, quiche and fabulous sausage roll. For sweet we had a sumptuous mousse, little raspberry tart, chocolate brownie, lavender biscuit and lemon scone, together with macarons and meringues. All washed down with as much afternoon tea as we could drink. The cafe is lovely with a cosy, friendly atmosphere and the staff are also very friendly and chatty. We will definitely come back and only wished we lived a bit closer!

Fantastic cafe in the heart of Stamford. Luckily we got a table as it was busy and you can tell that it's popular. People just kept coming and trying and you can tell why. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Great coffee. Great food, I ordered the club sandwich and my Wife got Bacon, Brie and Cranberry panini. No complaints from us, keep up the good work.

Really good , tasty well presented food - the risotto was delicious and we ordered sweet potato fries as a side- tasty! Friendly staff. Would recommend. Cakes looked good but we were too full to order them!!!

I visited on a Sunday morning when quite quiet and the young ladies serving were very friendly and my coffee was excellent. My gluten free toast was 'okay' but four very thin and small slices with three small pats of butter and because of this quite expensive. I will definitely go back for a coffee though as it really was excellent. Hot and with alternative 'milk' readily available.

We had a very nice lunch here on Sunday. There is a choice of indoor & outdoor seating. I had the halloumi & roasted veg skewers with salad & sweet potato fries. Delicious & large portion. My husband had a chicken club sandwich with skin on fries, again delicious & a large portion. Would return if we are in Stamford again.

Called in for lunch, great friendly service and excellent food and coffee, the portions are generous and my club sandwich was super tasty, served with a side salad, slaw and chips. Highly recommend and would definitely return when back in the area.

Had a lovely Lunchtime meal. Good service, friendly staff & good food.. We ate in the secret garden lovely atmosphere with the chimes of St Marys in the background..

Having arrived early in Stamford ready to walk around we followed our noses to this wonderful cafe for breakfast. Lovely gentleman served us and was very tolerant of our removal or adding of items to the cooked breakfast! The tea was absolutely beautiful, a proper teapot and tea leaves. Our breakfasts came piping hot. Everything on the plate tasted very fresh from the eggs to the sausages that were clearly not of the mass produced variety. The granary seeded toast was out of this world as well. Average sort of breakfast price but definitely not an average breakfast! the toilet was up a couple of steps but spotlessly clean. A lovely experience.

We visited on Saturday and had a lovely lunch, we both had sandwiches' and they were really tasty complete with a side order of chips. One portion to share or even just one sandwich and chips to share would have been fine. The food was excellent and the staff very friendly. I paid the bill and was OK until I realised that I had been charged £2.25 for a very small bottle of diet coke, it was not a standard bottle but the very small one that you sometimes get as a mixer with an alcoholic drink. We also had a different soft drink and that was in a normal sized bottle, only the coke was small. It just took the edge of a very nice lunch.

Once again, great to return for brunch and be greeted by the friendly smiles of Ewelina, alongside Jovita. I loved the hairbands they were wearing - so cool ! The hot chocolate drink was super yummy followed by a lovely asparagus/salad with a delicious yoke on top. Thanks to the Chef once again. My thanks for these two waitresses & for Sam to oversee my table. EXCEPT : VERY HAZARDOUS SAFETY ISSUE. The "open socket & dangling wires" (photo attached). I noted this straight away as it was in full sight. This seriously worried me as it was at close proximity of any members of staff on their path to serve customers. I immediately brought it to their attention & it was confirmed it had already been reported but nothing had been done yet. I sincerely hope this has been repaired to avoid endangering the working members of staff. Monique L.

This is a very tasty meal, served attractively with salad. If you like figs, this is a must! Highly recommended. As always, All staff were extremely welcoming, friendly and attentive.

I was very happy to be greeted so warmly by Evelina, as this time I brought a friend of mine. We both had a scrumptious vegetarian tart with salad & sweet potato chips, washed down with a lovely glass of wine. I was happy my friend enjoyed the choice of venue & lunch . Also thanks to Sam who took our order & Jovita. Many thanks for Ewelina to have made once again my visit so pleasant and relaxed. See you soon Monique L

How wonderful. My previous review was heard and breakfast is complete with a croissant! Thank you. Staff lovely and service wonderful. I’ll be back!

I was once a very regular customer until …. The lovely friendly staff don’t work on Mondays so beware! I came for breakfast with my son and the waitress was obviously cross to be disturbed at 9.15am. She took an order for a full English...

Visited on a Saturday morning with friends. Menu had lots of choice. Teas and coffees were good, as were the scones and tea cakes. Service was good and prices fair.

I booked a gluten-free afternoon tea to celebrate a big birthday with family. I was surprised when it arrived - at least half looked as though it was shop-bought and not hand made. There were three types of sandwich on gluten free bread; tomato &...

Went here for cocktails after dinner and was surprised (and delighted) I could taste the alcohol in mine. Almost lockdown measures! Will definitely go again!

My second visit since change of owner and previously a very regular customer. Both have been disappointing. Today I left a piece of cake uneaten because it was dry and stale. When asked “ was everything fine” I pointed this out and still charged full...

I went to this cafe with a friend and we had just missed the breakfast time, but the owner was very accommodating and I ordered their full English breakfast. The best I’ve ever had! Wonderful little cafe. They have got everything right. Service, food, pricing...

Slight name change, revamped interior with new style of tables and seating. Food good, though the atmosphere has certainly changed. Some of the original, lovely staff are still there but our waiter was a bit glum. ( A smile wouldn't go amiss.) Hope it lives...

The Coffee and Cake was delicious The Service was Fine I am told the other food was good Music was not so good and probably not needed

Superb afternoon tea guys. So happy you’re back after lockdown and your food has got even better. Keep up the great work - we Love it

Amazing afternoon tea and really well priced! This was for a family event and there was definitely plenty of food! Great service as always

My daughter arranged for a food hamper to be delivered for my birthday. It was superb!!. everything was delivered in absolutely first class condition. All appeared to be freshly baked and of the first class quality we have learned to expect. In happier times we...

Came here for a coffee and a cake and suitably impressed. A little cramped but overall a nice visit. The cake was good and the coffee was strong. Worth visiting over one of the chains for sure. Service was decent enough also.

New to Stamford so I was really glad to find this excellent cafe and deli. Only dropped in for a coffee but the Bakewell Slice looked so good I had to try it and it was really very good. Staff were friendly and efficient and...

Fine Foods made up a truly wonderful afternoon tea for us to enjoy outside to celebrate a very special birthday. Catering for vegan, vegetarian and meat eaters alike. The bread was unbelievably good, and fillings superb, along with lovely scones, with clotted cream and jam - it could not have been better!

We ate here on a Saturday lunch. Plenty of choice and reasonably priced. Central to town and tables both inside and outside. Sandwiches were huge on very soft bread. Would highly recommend and would eat here again.

Very disappointed. Like other reviews very over priced and not that nice. We could have had a two course meal for that price, they must rub their hands together when someone books for afternoon tea.Two sandwiches each, very small. Dry small sausage roll and a skinny piece of quiche. Also some tiny bagel with a slither of cream cheese and salmon on it.The scones where rock hard, tiny pot of jam & cream to share and all the cakes where dry and tasteless.They had loads of nice cakes in a display cabinet but you don’t get them, they looked delicious. We had Prosecco which they didn’t charge us for, that wasn’t the best either.Staff are friendly but service could of been better, had to go up to the counter to ask for our tea. That was hot, but tasteless. This was a birthday gift for my partner so we was very disappointed.We’ve had a few afternoon teas and this was the worst. Will not go again.

The Toffee Apple Pie crepes here were amazing! They were filled with fruit and served with shards of chocolate and a mountain of fresh whipped cream! This is a wonderful restaurant with a changing menu each day. The cooking is of a high standard and the staff are great - very friendly and extremely helpful. I go there several times a week. The coffee is excellent, also.

We visited today for an afternoon tea at 12pm. The service was prompt and the food was absolutely delicious and more than sufficient in quantity (too much even)! I think the cost at £20 a head was the right price for the quality and quantity of food. Despite the cafe being packed we had excellent service too. Our only gripe, which is very much to our particular taste, is that the selection of food was overwhelmingly sweet. We all would have preferred more of the savoury options as they were utterly delicious. The sweets were lovely- just too many of them for us! Perhaps moving forward the shop could look into two different afternoon tea options - one for people with sweet tooths and one more catered to the savoury fan.

I was recommended this place by a friend for afternoon tea. AsI’ve been busy I’ve only just got round to writing this but I feel I had to given the circumstances. I came in before Christmas for an afternoon tea which was very lovely indeed. The selection of sandwiches and cakes were second to none. Full marks on food! Unfortunately the service was very lacking, the two woman behind the counter seemed so disinterested in work to the point they were both leaning on the counter on their phones for a good 15+ minutes. Whilst enjoying my Afternoon tea, I noticed empty tables with used, dirty crockery and I feel like if I noticed it, who else noticed it. Not the staff members I’m sure! Overall I would come back again for the food as I said I couldn’t fault it. But maybe I’ll try a different day of the week when alternative staff members are working to see if there is any change in service quality. I’ve gone for a three simply for the food. Had I not had that it would have possibly been a one.

We always use Fine Foods when we visit Stamford. Enjoying morning coffee and resisted the superb cakes but sharing a scone on arrival, because we had lunch booked elsewhere later. We returned later after declining a dessert at the hotel to enjoy a cake and tea. The Tim Tams are to die for! Maybe one between two at the time but take another home for later. Staff are very friendly and efficient. The food always looks excellent. It’s a bit cosy but but worth making new friends to enjoy the super food on offer.

I was here just to pick up a coffee, as I wanted to give this place a go, the coffee was really nice, and plenty of food also available.

Stamford's a lovely town, and there was a nice atmosphere in this place when we popped in for a light lunch, but the service was pretty slow. Good menu. My cappuccino was scalding hot and very milky, and my partner noticed that both the glass her drink came in and the ramekin of mayonnaise were really kind of grubby. So were the ornaments on the shelves next to us. It was New Year's Eve, and we had a lot of luggage with us, or we might have looked elsewhere. Still better than Caffè Nero or any of the other coffee chains, of course.

10.30am and I really fancied a cappuccino. Where to go? The Fine Food Store looked inviting and inside the staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. Oh! And the cappuccino was fantastic!

Excellent afternoon tea. Sandwiches were fresh and the ham and piccalilli were delicious. Lovely cakes, scones and mince pie. Plus a mulled wine to make it Christmassy! Perfect way to celebrate my son being home for Christmas! Would definitely recommend.

In the beautiful town of Stamford this cake shop is superb. Both cakes were delicious the staff were helpful and warm-hearted. Highly recommended

Another visit today for a light lunch. A mix up with my order but was very quickly resolved they were very helpful even offered me crisps till my order was prepared.

Ok, so cake and lunch are interchangeable for me but I’ve eaten here often and never been disappointed with either. Breakfasts (pancakes, bacon and fruit, of course with syrup) are also yummy. I SO want one of their afternoon teas. Look amazing but tad expensive for me to justify. Need the right occasion.

I went with a friend for brunch, the food was very nice but we sat with our finished plates until we left, the two ladies behind the counter were just chatting and scrolling on their phones,it was very busy so really should have been clearing tables.

I took a friend for afternoon tea as a birthday treat & we loved it. Beautifully served on a mini picnic bench, we had tiny sandwiches (plenty of filling, lovely bread & crustless), quiche, sausage rolls, mini scones, fruit tarts, brownies, strawberry possets, drizzle cake & macaroons. Amazing, every mouthful was delicious. Highly recommend.

If you are looking for a fun, unique afternoon tea experience head to The Fine Food Store in Stamford! A little gem of a place, serving afternoon tea on mini picnic benches! Plenty to chose from, sweet and savoury. The home made scones are delicious! Great for foodies looking for a unique spot, or instagrammers wanting some fab, yummy pictures for their pages!

I felt the choice of food at lunchtime was somewhat limited to a good selection of fillings in various different breads or a choice of quiche and salad. However, I was very pleased with the quality of the food I ordered and the speed of service at a busy time. My disappointment was that the interior of the eating area all appeared a little tired and I was not impressed with the amount of food on the floor around the tables which, no doubt, has been dropped by previous customers.

We usually go to Stamford every few months and on Friday 23rd August we tried The Fine Food Store for lunch. We arrived just after midday and found that the bulk of the menu could only be ordered before 12.00. The choice seemed pretty limited. Never the less being optimists we ordered The Sardine Pate and the Feta Salad. Plus a Banana Milk Shake and an Ginger Biscuit and Marshmallow milk shake. The waitress then came back and said there were no marshmallows - so a vanilla one was a second choice.The food turned up first. The Pate was very pleasant but the salad was quite bland. When we were half way through, the milkshakes turned up and five minutes after that the spoons that were for the milkshakes arrived. This was all for nearly £30.00. It was only after leaving and talking about the meal my partner realised why the salad was not that brilliant - they had forgot the feta cheese for her Feta Cheese Salad! We should have paid more attention!

Popped in here for lunch on a busy Tuesday. Queues for tables!

On Sunday was a guest at a Golden Wedding celebration the catering by Fine Foods it was fabulous, the waitresses lovely & the food divine!!!

Celebrated my daughter in law to be's hen do here with an afternoon tea and was not disappointed. The food was lovely and cakes were amazing especially the lemon sponge. The strawberry mousse came I'm close 2nd.

This place really needs some powerful extraction system fitted as we could not stand the smell and it completely ruined our Father’s Day lunch. It was like sitting in a chip shop rather than a cafe.

One of the best Veggie Breakfasts i've ever had. That is saying something. Topped off with a loverly frothy soya cappuccino and pleasant staff. See you again for lunch

Nothing wrong with location (good) or the friendliness of the staff (excellent), however (and it is a big however) we called in for a morning coffee stop and ended up leaving as if we had been sitting in a chip shop. I so disliked the smell of fat/cooking (Fine Foods? or from somewhere else?) that I left my drink half full so we could get some fresh air.

We called in for breakfast, after travelling from Cambridge, as we are visiting from Australia we were having difficulty with our mobile phone trying to contact our next accommodation in Lincoln. The staff at this cafe were most helpful and went out of their way to assist us with our problem. Our breakfast was great and we would recommend this little gem to anybody.

Very friendly and welcoming staff, with a good selection of snacks and drinks on offer. I had a very nice sandwich and a really good flat white; all wrapped up with a well priced bill. In true Arne style, I’ll be back!

Been twice and both times great food and lovely staff. 2nd visit had the full English b'fast. Very filling and not an ounce of fat.

We popped in for a quick snack and ordered toasties. Combined with their vast selection of tea, this hit the spot. The staff were also very friendly. If I was to be ultra picky, the garnish that came with the toasties was uninspiring and this is something they may wish to review. Other than that, I will certainly be going back to try the cakes and other delights.

Visited on the recommendation of a friend and other reviews. We’d booked the afternoon tea. When we arrived they couldn’t find our booking and eventually found it had been put in the diary on another date!

Fine foods has the best cakes in Stamford. Staff are really friendly and they also allow dogs which is great. Not many tables so yo7 may need to wait to get one, but it’s worth the wait.

Dropped in here for coffee and was tempted by a slice of cake!

You want friendly, dog friendly, good food, cafe food, good quality and service then this is the place to go. Its a very nice coffee shop with fabulous cakes! great place to catch up with old friends. Love it here x

We had the chicken, bacon and avocado sandwich. The filling was warm and tasted really yummy. Plus it was only £5.25.

Visited here yesterday for afternoon tea. The staff were all very lovely, friendly, polite and they really cared that you enjoyed your food. The food came and my eyes nearly popped out of my head at the amount. What fantasic value for money and it came on a minature picnic table. Oh! what a sight. The taste of the food was sublime, from the beautiful sausage roll to the ginger cake. There was so much of it and it was just to good to leave we actually took some home. I have had a lot of afternoon teas and this one beats the lot for taste and amount. Please go try this out you will not be disappointed.

We visited this cafe on a Saturday morning and they were still serving breakfast. Everything looked freshly cooked and piping hot. We ordered two coffees, a vegetarian baguette and a ham, cheddar and caramelised onion baguette. There was plenty of cheese and ham and my husband said it was probably one of the nicest he has tasted.

This is a nice place but if oyu have a wheelchair or pram it does not have much room to include these which is a shame.

I’ve tried this twice now but have been underwhelmed on both occasions. Sadly both times have been with visitors and I have actually been left feeling embarrassed that this will form their impression of Stamford which has such a wonderful array of independent shops.

My husband, mother in law, two year old son and I visited here one Saturday morning around 9.45 and when we arrived there two other tables of two in there. We sat down and the young man who helped us with the pushchair etc was helpful, we ordered our coffees and a piece of cake, toast and a portion of egg bread with bacon. The coffee and cake arrived promptly and then so did some more customers ordering breakfast too, these people sat down and we watched a couple of them receive food and still waited for ours, my husband went and asked and the young girl went t find out as more breakfasts came out. The gentleman who owns the place then came across and said everyone had ordered breakfast together, which wasn’t the case when we first arrived and surely we should have had ours first and ours was being dealt with. He did apologise as more cooked breakfasts came out. I think our order was either left on the side or had fallen off the order stand but I would have appreciated the truth more as we then waited another ten minutes and had to rush it to pick up my other son from his class.

Super lovely food and service at this place. The cakes are home made so none of the dreadful Costco/Bookers palm oil infested cakes. Amazing choice of cakes too. Don't go anywhere else!

Visited The Fine Food Store for a quick bite prior to a meeting. Friendly, welcoming staff gave a good first impression.

Clean, bright & light, this little eaterie delivers great tea and delicious, homemade cake ! Really friendly service...

Afternoon tea was a delight. As it was a special occasion we added a glass of Prosecco. Tea is served on a miniature picnic bench and provides a fine balance of savoury and sweet treats. A good cup of tea certainly helped with the consumption of these fine goodies.

We were in Stamford for the day and decided to stop by here for Breakfast. I ordered the Vegetarian breakfast and my wife went for the Tuna Sandwiches. The vegetarian was very filling, and comprised scrambled eggs, a few pieces of halloumi, beans, peppers, mushrooms but just the one slice of toast unfortunately. The food was of good quality and my wife also enjoyed her tuna sandwiches which she said were very filling and were served with salad I think. To end, we ordered a slice of cake which we shouldn’t have – not because it is fattening – as the cake had been kept refrigerated so had become hard and brittle. Other than that – a good visit.

We came here instead of using motor way service station, so glad we did. Just had tea and cake which was fab. Saw people having afternoon tea which looked amazing

We called in here for a fairly late lunch. We ordered at the counter, and then had quite a wait for our dishes to arrive. Meanwhile, amazing afternoon teas on mini double decker trestles were being delivered to other tables. Although it was still early for 'tea', this is clearly the thing to have here. The array of savoury and sweet items looked varied and delicious.

Visited for a birthday, had a lovely afternoon tea, very originally displayed with tasty food. Great service and lovely frappes. It’s really nice that you can have cold drinks as well as hot included in the afternoon tea.

We popped into The Fine Food Store for lunch after a swimming trip with our two-year-old. I had been wanting to try it for a while and wasn’t disappointed. There was a wide choice on the main menu with some daily specials also available. When we arrived a member of staff immediately fetched us a highchair. We made our choices and ordered and paid at the counter and the arrived very quickly (very important when you’ve got a hungry toddler!). The food was delicious and reasonably priced, although the drinks were a bit expensive (£4.50 for a smoothie). I needed to change my son’s nappy during our visit and although they don’t have any changing facilities the staff did their best to accommodate us by mopping the toilet floor and making sure it was clean for us. They also apologised for the lack of facilities. We enjoyed our lunch and will definitely visit again when we’re in the area.

Visited today for the first time. Had booked afternoon tea for two people. The tea was delicious, the staff very friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I enjoyed it very much and will definitely visit again.

It looked good in the reviews, and our lunch certainly came up to expectations. Specials of the day - a mushroom terrine (twice) and a bacon and brie turnover. Fresh quality salad accompanied all dishes. Prompt service. Excellent value. The almond cake to accompany our coffees was simply divine. Do visit. You will not be disappointed.

Daily Menu regularly changed while retaining regular favourites. Fantastic cakes. Very friendly and helpful staff. food prepared and cooked freshly every day. Great favourite with locals.

We visited today for cake and tea. The staff were very helpful in immediately offering to help my husband carry the pram up the steps. The cake was delicious! And when we left our sunglasses on the table as we left, the same member of staff ran after us to give them back. Great service.

A fantastic menu with everything freshly cooked. The service was friendly and efficient. We stumbled upon it accidentally and will definitely return.

We decided to go to fine foods for the afternoon tea as it looked amazing (book in advance). You are able to sit outside or inside and the teas are seasonal. On arrival we were greeted and told the drinks that we were able to have, the service was quick! Then the picnic table came out and we loved it, we had 3 sandwich fingers each egg mayo, ham and mustard and coronation chicken. Sausage rolls, quiche and a bit of salmon on a savoury scone. We then got a macaron, scone with cream and jam, chocolate brownie, raspberry moose, a mini tart and a blueberry cake with cream cheese icing! It was all very fab, lovely food! The bread was a bit hard because it was warm, but it was really enjoyable! However, when I went up to pay it was £20.00 per person and I’m really not sure why it’s that expensive! See picture attached, I just don’t know why it was so expensive, no alcoholic drink either and if you want that you pay an extra surcharge. But it is a lovely little afternoon tea but pricey.

Love the morning sun and quiet in the garden. The food is delicious, generous portions so beware! The pots of flowers are cheerful and plentiful which all adds to the friendly atmosphere. The secret garden is a treat with excellent coffee.

This is a small cafe, but is clean and the food and service are very good. The staff (all young) were efficient and helpful although they did not tell us there was an outside sitting area which you can not access from inside the cafe. No problem recommending this cafe.

Very off the street cafe place and nothing much to invite you in however the food is good. The freshly squeezed orange juice is an amaxing size and such fantastic value. On a hot summer's day it was delicious as was the dish of the day - makeral pate

I’ve been visiting this cafe off and on for years with friends, family or on my own. It’s ususlly my go to cafe in Stamford. Recent visits have left me disappointed though, I find it’s not a clean anymore; tables, shelving, cutlery I’m served etc. The cafe isn’t always busy so there’s not really an excuse. Today it was difficult to find a table outside that didn’t have crumbs all over it and when I did a chair had several blobs of melted chocolate on it. With so much choice in Stamford it’s important to be on top of your competition.

Called in for a late breakfast. Good range of freshly made food available. We had sausage and bacon baguettes absolutely great! Friendly staff and obviously popular, quite a few tables had been reserved for lunch so it is probably a good idea to book to ensure a table at busy times. There is a wealth of tea rooms and cafes in Stamford and this one certainly did not disappoint.

So happy we found this little gem when we visited Stamford yesterday! It was a cold day and thanks to trip adviser decided to visit! We popped in hoping to get afternoon tea but noticed we needed to pre-book. We spoke to the waiter who had a word with the kitchen and said they would do us a fresh afternoon tea if we could wait 20 minutes! We were so happy at how helpful and friendly the staff were. We went for a walk and returned to sit in the window seats with out afternoon tea brought out to us! It came on a mini picnic table and straight away I was happy because I knew it would make an Instagram worthy picture! We got a selection of sandwiches, scones, sausage rolls and cakes. It was delicious! Staff were helpful and friendly and made us feel welcome! Would definitely visit again!

We went on a dismal Friday afternoon in late April. Our welcome was warm and sunny. Our table clean and set. We ordered our drinks and waited for our food to arrive. What a wow factor when it appeared - looked good, exciting and very appealing. Good variety of savoury items - looked similar to what other establishments provide BUT the flavours were very different. The sweet shelf was fantastic including some wonderful little pudds and meringues. A wonderful afternoon tea slightly spoiled by the cost £20 is an awful lot to pay.

I always enjoy going to brunch here. The breakfast menu is delicious. Very generous & not all just about the full English. The vegetarian breakfast, smoke salmon and gluten free bread is a cut above the rest. The coffee is also very good. Excellent service every time. I’d recommend as the place to go for breakfast & catch up with friends or a relaxed morning with your other half!

Afternoon tea for a birthday treat. The food was lovely with a nice assortment of sweet and savoury items. I was quite shocked at the £20 per person cost. Unfortunately I compare to The George Hotel which isn’t much more. At The George the sandwiches are replenished as are the drinks and the ambience is peaceful and comfortable rather than noisy and cramped! Staff at Fine Foods not particularly interested whether the customer has enjoyed their food.

Myself and my partner visit The Fine Food Store regularly, it is by far the best place in Stamford for breakfast/brunch. The Avocado on toast is my absolute favourite!

Visited today with my wife,plenty of choice for vegetarian and meat eaters, excellent service and excellent food and drinks will visit again when in Stamford. Restaurant was very busy and very clean.

We visited after reading reviews. We all enjoyed our picnic table afternoon tea and added a bottle of bubbles to help with our celebration. On arrival our reserved table was the only empty one! Busy place! Staff all friendly. Lovely atmosphere. We enjoyed taking our time savouring the food whilst we chatted. It was all delicious but The apricot sausage roll was my fave. A box was given to us each to pop our remaining cakes in to take home and enjoy.... for me I didn’t get a look in as the kids soon spotted them. Thank you Fine Food Store.

We visited this outlet after reading reviews and a recommendation and we weren't disappointed. There was a selection of sandwiches which were lovely and a homemade sausage roll. The scones were chocolate and orange and definitely worth trying them served with the orange marmalade as this was delicious. The cake selection was ok. My only slight criticism is it would have been nice to have been offered some more drinks during our tea rather than at the end when we had finished it. Would I visit again, yes and would I recommend, yes. A lovely tea with plenty of sweet treats

We had afternoon tea last Sunday it was a Christmas present the staff where friendly and helpful . Disappointed no scotch egg, scones dry (over cooked and hard) it would have been better to have put another cake on instead of the over cooked scones the jelly had no flavour .We have had many afternoon teas at hotels and sad to say this was the worse .Presentation unique but table not really big enough with cups etc..

Really enjoyed.the afternoon tea. Great to be offered any hot drink included in the price instead of the usual tea or filter coffee neither of which I drink. Going back with my daughters for Mother's Day. Can't wait!

Took my mum for afternoon tea for her birthday. We were sat at the front, explained how the afternoon tea...
