The Heneage Arms Community Pub in East Lindsey

Good food and friendly helpful staff. Would return again. We sat outside with our dogs and they have plenty of choice and a covered area. Also dogs are welcome indoors.

Stopped by for a pint of Batemans and a G&T for the Laaydee whilst on a carriage drive from Lindsey Caravan Park. Good to support a community pub rescue. We arrived at opening time and were outside with pony & carriage and unable to dine, however the pub is clearly popular as lots of folk arrived whilst we were there. Somewhere for us to dine when we're back in the area again.

Hands down the best Sunday lunch I've had in ages. Everything cooked to perfection. Pork was so tender and flavoursome. Beef still pink and delicious. Great cooking and very much enjoyed. Not to mention staff who were very friendly and professional. Thank you.

Fabulous Sunday lunch at the Heneage Arms today.... didn't take a photo as it was gone before I had a chance.... if you're in or around Lincoln give this place a go - delish!! 🥰🥰 and such a lovely setting to sit outside on a sunny day (the biscoff dessert was out of this world 😋)

In recent weeks, the standard of service here has markedly declined. Several items are regularly unavailable on the menu, and the standard of service has also dropped. Management need to address these issues urgently to bring it back to where it once was - a great place to eat and drink where the staff were attentive and on the ball - sadly not the case currently

Great place to eat and not too busy. Even have some great entertainment on certain days. See website for details.

Nice venue. Fish and chips were lovely. Think they need to consider a cheeseboard as one of the desserts to go on the menu.

Fantastic Beer & Music Festival as always. Thanks to all of you that worked so hard to put it together and all the bands. Had a Fantastic Sunday lunch too ... 💕

Unbelievably difficult to find somewhere for Sunday dinner until finding this gem of a pub! Spacious car parking, warm welcome, lots of seating, fantastic service, and the food, well!! I was going to have a Sunday roast, then the Grimsby Fresh Haddock took control - it was beautiful !!! A truly magnificent meal, very reasonably priced. Huge beer garden with assault course and football goal for children. Highly recommended !!!

We went for Sunday lunch last weekend. I’ve been before and saw how generous the portions are, so asked if we could have a smaller one. Our smiling waitress immediately offered a children’s portion, which was more than big enough for us. We had the roast pork which was sublime: it comes with Yorkshire pudding, roasties, mash and an array of vegetables. The servers were charming: nothing was too much trouble. Our friend had a small fish and chips and said it was delicious. Total bill for three full people, including drinks, came to a very affordable £42. I can’t recommend it enough.

Food at best very poor. Tasteless Roast dinner Yorkshire pudding like burnt cardboard, roast potatoes like bullets. Meat really fatty and the smallest stuffing slice /I have ever seen in my life

We had a few roasts, fish and chips and a veggie curry and all were great. Good portion sizes and great flavour, would definitely return again. Thanks 👍🏼

Another amazing meal out at the Heneage Arms Hainton.local for us as just up the road . Menu change this week so it was nice to try different meals. Staff are so attentive always asking if everything ok. Need any drinks etc. Open fires always stocked up. Warm and friendly place.

first class food and service would highly reccomend a warm welcome lovely helpful in every way plenty of meat and fresh veg

Wow what a lovely Sunday lunch for Mother’s Day. 4 of us, 2 gluten free. Starters soup gf and prawn cocktail (gf) Beef for 3 of us and chicken for me. The meat was well cooked and delicious and the vegetables were cooked perfectly with cauliflower cheese and a medley of lots of different vegetables. Yorkshire puddings for all of us and stuffing (gf). Roast potatoes and super creamy mash. Gf gravy too. ( thank you Matt) Fantastic helpful and friendly staff. 2 or 3 gf desserts but couldn’t manage one !!

Friendly staff and efficient service. Table was reserved for 13:30 and despite arriving 30 minutes early, and the pub being full, we were duly walked to our waiting table. Food was of a high standard and everything was hot. Starter of chilli prawns was spicy and plentiful. Roast beef was cooked to perfection accompanied by an assortment of vegetables. I opted for the cheesecake with ice cream to finish, which gets 10/10 from me.

Great pie and pint night.. , well worth a visit.

Ordered the extra large fish , but fish was not that large at all...disappointed tbh. Mentioned this to one of the staff, her reply " they are all the same size, we don't do extra large " Live and learn I guess

We had Sunday lunch a couple of weeks ago. The pub is a lovely, traditional country village pub and the staff are lovely. I was disappointed in the main course. Portion size was fine, but the mixed vegetables were so al dente that I couldn't eat them and the yorkshire pudding was half burned black,so I was confined to eating the meat and a couple of roast potatoes.

Lovely Sunday lunch by the pub fire place

Lovely place, lovely staff and lovely food, just how a pub restaurant should be, just perfect

Had an amazing time celebrating a birthday with friends and family. Food was incredible, super cosy inside with all of the fires and the service was good too. Highly recommended.

This is Our 2nd visit, it was so good we had to come back when we were in The Lincolnshire Wolds .. 👌 5 🌟 All the 3's ! Fish, Chips n Mushy Peas

We gratefully happened on The Heneage Arms on a weekend in Lincolnshire. It was a great find. The staff were obliging and friendly and the Sunday lunch was excellent - one of the best we've had in ages and great value for money. Portions were generous and the vegetables, in particularly, were cooked to perfection.

Though the staff where incredibly helpful and nice, we thought the food quality wasn't that great. It clearly wasn't that busy in the restaurant meaning they didn't put heating on and it was cold.

Stopped for a beer and sat outside. Good play area.

Beautiful meal, staff were lovely.

Really nice pub lovely people will defo be back

This is a great community ran pub in a beautiful location, we call here on the way home from the East Coast or Cadwell Park. We have always been pleased with both the food and the service. We have also with permission from the owners stayed overnight in the car park in our motor home when competing at Cadwell Park, however this was a few years ago now so I would recommend checking with the Pub in advance.

Happened apon this pub on our way back to Lincoln. Service was very good, not pushy but not slow either. Good selection of beers. Fabulous sized portions, good and hearty food. Thank you 🙏🏽

I had a steak did said I wanted it medium / well, but had to send it back cos was still bleeding. Had it back and it was still bleeding so I couldn't eat it and it make me ill.. NO REDUCE ON THE Price thou.. Not good

Bit of a disappointment with a steak. Under cooked, was cooked a little longer, but still undercooked. Wife felt ill after seeing the blood, so could not eat any more. Very slow production of the bill to pay. Syrup sponge was very strong oh ginger, to overpowering..

The fish and chips here is amazing. Three different sizes and the large is like a whale. Well worth a visit.

Only popped in for a quick pint but were met with enthusiasm and kindness. Dogs are welcome. Menu looked great, even though we didnt eat and the rear garden and entertainment area looked astonishing. Will be back for a less rushed visit!

Asian night speciala were all delicious. If you are in the area call in for good food and beer. Do check their opening times as they are a community pub

Nice location, friendly, helpful staff in a great atmosphere. What more could you want, great food they have it.

Only had drinks very nice and clean inside and out run by the community very helpful staff

Fish & chips were very good, staff were friendly and service was prompt.

A regular place for a hearty meal. Community run pub and restaurant offering well cooked food. I highly recommend

An excellent meal and venue. Thank you.

First time for us having moved to the area a couple of years ago. A really great find. A sensibly priced Sunday lunch which was absolutely delicious. Beef and Pork was had by the four of us in the group and it was cooked really well clearly using quality ingredients. The accompanying veg were well cooked too. The staff helpful and friendly. Thank you, we really enjoyed it.

Enjoyed the garden ,kids could play we had adult time,good food,beer and music.

We had a very pleasant time with good food and excellent service.

Es un lugar abierto donde puedes estar con tu familia, y pasar un rato agradable, buena musica si te gustan los 50, 60s

Great food and friendly staff. Will Definitely return soon. Gardens to enjoy sitting outside too.

Lovely beer festival and choice of bands . Good breakfast in the morning when stopping in rally field in camper .

Amazing food and puddings choice

Well the place and food was nice but stuff is was unfriendly

This community pub is a great place to visit, the food & beer is second to none & again this year the beer festival was definitely worth the visit...🥧🍺

Fabulous Sunday lunch. Roast beef tasty, tender and lots of it. Seasonal vegetables, cauliflower cheese served with a smile. Made to feel so welcome. Called in without booking. Not a problem. Will go back when we are next in the area.

Went for Sunday lunch and it was excellent very very busy the staff were lovely certainly go again

Sunday roast is delish, dont be fooled by the lack of veg on your plate! when the veg comes out, its the perfect addition, and cauliflower cheese is yum. Deserts are tempting, and very filling.

Dinner was enjoyed by all. The pudding was massive. Really nice "local pub" atmosphere.

My wife and I had Sunday lunch here today. It was first class. The starter, a pork terrine was a substantial portion and most enjoyable. The main course pork and turkey were beautiful pieces of meat, with plenty of vegetables. The dessert, lemon posset was excellent and generous in portion size. The prices were very reasonable and the staff, volunteers, I understood, were lovely. Highly recommended!

A real gem. Great food, great service great atmosphere and you're never far away from a log fire or stove - every time you turn a corner there's another one! The menu has just been extended and there's something for everyone - though a lot people - my mum included - seem to go for the fish and chips - and with good reason: the Heneage does the best fish and chips around - and they're consistent. So that's my mum happy - and she is very, very particular about her haddock - as a veggie myself, I'm very happy with the choices: the honey baked goats cheese is delicious, they've added vegetable lasagne to the menu and I had that most recently: it comes with a separate side salad and a very generous pot of coleslaw that, basically, is like a second meal - and a delicious contrast to the lasagne - which is obviously homemade and very tasty. The staff are very attentive and nothing is too much trouble - they really care and want you to enjoy the experience. There is a good selection of starters, so far we've tried the breaded brie - which was just the right size portion before the main. If you have a starter and a main, you will probably struggle to fit a dessert in on top. The sticky toffee pudding is very tasty. I have to admit I struggled with one the more fruity puds - but then I am not a fan of dark berries - so personally I prefer the likes of the sticky toffee pudding - but that's just me - lots of people love the sharper berries. As a community pub it is popular with locals, but people make a point of travelling there for the food too and most importantly: the Heneage is Dog Friendly! There are plenty of separate dining areas for those without dogs - but dogs are welcome in the bar area. They only open Friday to Sunday - so for dining booking is advisable - but that said, we have popped in on the way home from Lincoln before and they have accommodated us. Basically if they can they will - but phone first to avoid disappointment. Oh, and I they do takeaways too. Bottom line: if you live close to the Heneage Arms you're going to be in there like a shot on Friday and let them do the cooking, if you live a bit further away like us, you are not going to be disappointed: it's well worth the trip - and once you've been you'll be looking forward to your next visit!

What a lovely place - a community pub with a community feel, in a pretty location. Staff were all welcoming, friendly and helpful. Food was lovely. Good range of drinks. Very reasonable prices.

Fantastic food with super service, and a great range of real ales, lovely open fire with warmth that matched the welcome in this very special community pub

Game night, worth a visit . Congenial atmosphere. Will definitely go again for other themed nights

Really accommodating, great food, lovely place,

Really disappointed to see this pub supporting out dated barbaric fox hunting Shame on you

We’ve been here when it was a community pub. It is no longer a community pub and standards have fallen drastically. No gluten free. The gluten free policy is basically go without. Do not bother.

My family visited this pub twice while staying close by. The staff were lovely, the food was absolutely amazing and such a reasonable price and to top it off they were dog friendly. If we didn’t live two hours away we’d be regulars !

Lovely Lincolnshire evening, good food and entertainment

Fantastic community run pub,great food and a lovely pint of batemans and the staff were lovely,would advise you to book though,will definitely return.

The food was excellent and the staff were really friendly and helpful, 5 🌟 Would definitely recommend and go again 👍

Nicely run community pub... pleasure to be involved with it.

Great atmosphere friendly staff great prices What more could you want

Great community pub, friendly, good selection of real ales - limited menu but what they have is excellent - definitely recommend the fish & chips

Traditional well established pub. Went for a BBQ/ beer festival plus charity event in the grounds. Plenty of parking and outside seating plus covered marquee.

Lovely atmosphere, good food and entertainment. Friendly people running Pub.

Food is exceptional. Staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. You have to remember they are all volunteers and don't get paid for their time. All round it's a brilliant eaterie with a fully stocked bar. Highly recommended.

The food was spot on I could not fault it. 😊

Excellent quality and service from the team of volunteers. Prices and quality of food is worth a return as soon as possible.

Lovely beer amazing food and very nice people who worked there very friendly and very helpful would definitely recommend

Very freindly helpfull staff ,goodfood and great selection of beers

Amazing public house , friendly helpful staff. Fantastic food . Couldn't wish for a nicer public house. Yes we would go again.

Had a grand weekend with Bikers at the pub. staff looked after us 100%, food was lovely and ale, was spot on. Been before and will be back again, not forgetting the music on the two nights.

I've been here a few times and have always had a great time. The staff here are all lovely and the place has a great atmosphere. The food is delicious and there are gluten free options available. I'd recommend the GF fish and chips to anyone visiting!

It was absolutely amazing and very friendly people work there . Would recommend it to any one absolutely brilliant. Love you keith and Susan x

Very good food and quick service

Great staff, great location, great food

Fantastic food great beer excellent service

Atmosphere nice apart from kids screeching in porchway

Great atmosphere and great food at a reasonable price

We had a recommendation from the B&B we are staying at and wasn't disappointed. The food was fresh home cooked and delicious. The volunteers who work behind the bar, front if house and in the kitchen do a fabulous job and are so friendly and inviting. So much so we returned tonight too.

Great food smashing friendly staff

Very friendly pub had great weekend there

Excellent pub, really friendly, good clientele, great outdoor space. Only had food from the outdoor BBQ so can't comment too much in the food / menu but what I had was good quality and not expensive. Well worth five stars.

Blast from the past tonight, I had my first beer in this place in 1975; and it's still as awesome as ever

Friendly staff, lovely home cooked food, good value
