Wednesday Speed quiz night great fun as always,

The meat was delicious The rest could have been better

Superb food as I'm gluten tolerance they cater very well for me. Food was excellent..

Amazing food, the staff where very friendly . Lovely time.

Very nice pub, lively with great friendly bar staff. Food options are great , portions big and well cooked and presented. Thanks

Loved it being in the pub. Staff where all friendly and so was the regulars. Didint buy any food. That's why on a 3

Fantastic food and service. A lovely evening. Definitely recommend a visit

Great little country pub , friendly staff, Great food..

What a find! A proper village pub, ample parking, nicely decorated, great food (it's pub grub, but it's very GOOD pub grub) and the warmest of welcomes from the lovely Katy (Katie?) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Read the reviews but were disappointed. Very slow service, Sunday lunch and pay extra for mashed potato (!!), and the lemon tartan desserts were bland and stodgy. Sorry, but we won't be back. We'll stick to the Scotter/Scotton pubs and restaurants.

Just had a beer. It was Sunday lunch, and all the tables were booked. Serves me right.

Food is unbelievably good, we have had roast dinners, steak, burgers, fish and chips over a few visits and the food is always cooked beautifully, there are plenty of drink options and the staff are extremely friendly

We were all disappointed with the meal and we will not be coming again . The belly pork was over priced at 18.95 !! It was a small bit of cracking with two or three shreds of pork and that was it .. if you don’t mind paying for a plate full of mash then I guess 18-95 is a bargin !! Chips were over cooked im sure they had been cooked several times and even cold which surprised me .. I love my food and eat almost anything but this is a place we won’t be returning to .

Brilliant local pub! Service and food are excellent.

Great local village pub with superb food. Never had a bad meal yet.

Just had Tapas at the Horn and it was fabulous. Had 7 dishes and could not fault anything. Great service and a friendly welcome. Very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend the Tapas evening on the first Friday of the month.

Came in with a big party, they very accommodating and looked after us well. The food and service was first class.

We came in for meal to try food as we would be taking friends out the following wk. Hand pull beer was superb and food was very good, so booked for following wk. Not so good this time. Two had risotto which was really stodgy, one had lamb shank, which could have been cooked longer as incredible difficult to get off the bone, also served in a dish????. Previous wk had the Cherry rum bread and butter pudding drizzled with dark chocolate, delicious 😋. So had again, it was only bread and butter pudding. (Was still nice), but made a comment to waitress who said it was the "pot washer" that had prepared desserts????. No doubt we would have had some cherry rum and chocolate had it been prepared by the chef. We didn't send it back as we assumed the menu must have changed. Really disappointed with our visit 😕

the pot washer clearly doesn’t know how to clean a plate as sticky substance was on my plate and the food was a disgrace

Tasty food. Gluten free options available, including roast dinner on Sunday.

Very good atmosphere the food was excellent will definitely go back again.

The best pub lunch in the wide area. Prime example how a family run business should work, we are religiously having lunch here as Kate makes the most amazing creamy mushroom starter reducing adults literally licking the plate, and all food is exceptional quality and presentation. And god almight value for money! Staff courteous and attentive. Do not miss this place

A cosy and welcoming pub with great food and fab service. Would 100% recommend. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Incredible food, worthy of much higher prices than they charge.

Great share plates Lovely tasty food. Waitresses attentive. We have booked another visit we enjoyed it that much.

Food amazing and cheesecake is delicious 😋 a warm friendly atmosphere. Would highly recommend the Horn for a meal and drinks. Lisa H x

Excellent atmosphere and outstanding food all in the quaint, picturesque village of Messingham. Vegan burger was herbacious and was accompanied by chips and salad. The generous portion accompanied by a large bar selection. Staff was friendly and accommodating! Don’t miss this gem in Lincolnshire!

Food was good when it came, but we preordered as we had a table of 12 and it took an hour for the food to come and it didn’t all come at the same time. Very disappointing, especially with hungry children

Last night we went to the Horn Inn and enjoyed a wonderful evening. We both ordered the 7oz Rump steak, one Rare, one Medium and both were fantastic. The pub is really welcoming, the service is great and the staff are lovely. Highly recommend.

Been many times before ,however the last two visits havnt been to the usual high standards. No Fish and Chips at 7.30 on a Saturday evening. Ordered Chicken Kiev took over half an hour to arrive . Chips were totally over cooked tasted like reheated ,Chicken bland . Wife's Steak was OK however Rosti didn't taste freshly cooked as neither did the ratatouille side . Not the quality expected for the price .

Lovely place, nice decor and furniture, rear beer garden. Only 3 stars for atmosphere because when we arrived it was quiet except for a few in the beer garden. The staff were lovely and friendly 😊 😍 Food good and traditional 😋 They have a steak night 2 rumps and a bottle of wine for £35, Bargain! Please do visit, you won't be disappointed. Car parking at rear, for customers only.

It's Good! The food is delightful the chips are proper, potato wedge thing's, but don't be misunderstood they're exquisite. The only con? As of the food being homemade, you will have to wait about 1-2 hours for your well-worth it food.

The staff are friendly and helpful, the ambiance is that of a traditional pub but the dining is way above what you’d expect from a pub. The food was brought to us with very little waiting time, we visited at around 5pm so I don’t know what the wait is like later on. Everything on the plate was delicious and very well presented. The chicken burger and chips were the best I’ve had anywhere and the portion sizes are generous without being ridiculously huge. My dessert was also excellent. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food being served. The pub itself is clean and the toilets immaculate. A first class dining experience in a fairly local pub I’d never actually tried before. I’ll definitely be back and now know where to bring visiting friends and relatives.

We visited lunchtime n had the Horn burger , which was tasty and filling. The lunch menu is small but diverse. Helpfull staff n clean toilets.

Stopped by for lunch. Was pleased to find out it was dog friendly. Tasty food, excellent prompt service. Will go again.

Friendly staff and great venue.

Great service, the food was great lovely atmosphere definitely need to book before going to guarantee a table. Menu was varied and catered to everyone will definitely go back.

Great proper old style village pub with good selection of Ales, beers and ciders. Very reasonably priced and a lively friendly vibe to the atmosphere

Excellent food, lovely bar staff, but ladylady was rude beyond belief! As a returning customer, we knew the food was going to be excellent & we weren't disappointed. There was a nice ambience, perfect for catching up with friends. The bar & table service was slow, but the staff were polite and friendly. However, the impertinence of the landlady was unbelievable! Having had an unusual amount of sediment in my glass of Malbec , I politely & discreetly mentioned it to the staff (& yes, I do understand that sediment in some wines is perfectly normal, it was just very unpleasant crunching my last sip of wine & trying to rid the gritty pieces from my mouth, so thought I'd let them know). The landlady came over to discuss it and on approach to us said 'oh its not you ladies in the corner, is it?' Due to the informalilty we assumed she must know one of us (but turns out none of us did!), she then proceeded to tell us how we were clearly not used to drinking sophisticated, unfiltered wine, kept asking where we bought our wine from (insinuating that as she buys from Majestic & drinks wine in France she clearly knew her stuff & we didn't!), then made reference to the fact that they only stock Malbec & Pinot as these were the most 'boring' wines that all the 'boring' wine drinkers ask for. Clearly we should have ordered the Primitivo which is her favourite along with the Chatauneuf Du Pape which she tried getting us to taste (Thanks, but I know what it tastes like & we've just shared a bottle of your heavily sedimented, boring, Malbec... it would also appear that you've already drunk most of that bottle you're holding - which you only serve on special occasions anyway!). I am not usually one to complain, but I've never felt so offended & was disgusted at her assumptions about us. And as she clearly knew the wine had sediment in it (from previous customer mentions!), then why not at least decanter the wine... or at least learn how to speak with people about the wines, not down to them, making assumptions & trying to belittle them. Us 'boring' 'uneducated' and 'untravelled' wine drinkers will drink elsewhere in the future... What a shame. (P.S. we're all well travelled, have drunk wine for many years, and educated to degree level or higher. I too have been a licensee in my day & I would never have even contemplated speaking to customers in this manner. Rude.

Good food, excellent staff, very well run!

The goan curry was rubbish paid extra 3 quid for chicken . It was chicken leg meat greasy chewy lumpy . The pubs dated seats tables really in need of refurbishment. Won't be going back

This place is an absolute gem in a lovely village setting. The food is fantastic, service is great and nothing is too much trouble. We like to go with our little boy and are always made to feel welcome. Dogs are allowed in the bar too which is great!

Pleasant staff and good food and beer.

Amazing food, always a great atmosphere. Very helpful and friendly staff.

We had just got back to the UK. Had Sunday lunch which was fantastic service was very good. Lovely pint of Timothy Taylor. Next time when visiting my son we'll call again.

Thought I would try something different and it certainly was, very very tasty! Honestly the most enjoyable meal I’ve had for a long time . I’m not even a great fish eater ! Try the Sea Bass !

Food was really good ,definitely recommended 👌

Good place for a nice beer.. nice and clean and bar staff very friendly.. get there.. get a beer

We called in for dinner on a Wednesday evening. We were welcomed by friendly staff, the food was beautiful and nothing was too much trouble. My parents had the wednesday offer of 2 Steaks and a bottle of wine for £30. The steaks were cooked perfectly and i can honestly say were superior to any I've been served in expensive steak restaurants in major cities. I had the salmon and dill fishcakes which were fresh and perfectly cooked. My other half had the Horn burger which almost out faced him (in a good way ) he ordered onion rings too.... they were fresh made and not greasy, best onion rings in years! The Horn Inn gets a 10/10 from us and we will definitely be back. Thanks for making us so welcome too.

Sunday 28th August 2022 was a very important day for my Mum. It was her 90th birthday and more than anything she wanted to get all her family together from all around the country, all four generations as it was the first time ever we had all been together. There were 14 adults, one children and one baby. I live in Shropshire, 2 and a half hours away but contacted The Horn to see if they could accommodate us all, which they were happy to do. I used to live in Scunthorpe. There were two cars that travelled from Shropshire, one car from Windsor, one car from Northumberland and a car from Scunthorpe On arrival there were some lovely birthday decorations arranged by Kate, which my Mum loved. Drinks were very quickly ordered once everyone was there and because I'd asked The Horn for the menu before hand we had all chosen our meals, most of us going full out, three courses. All the starters came out quickly and no one had to wait. The starters chosen varied from mushrooms, bruschetta, camembert shared between two using artisan crusty bread, and fish cakes. I saw everyone tucking in and all starters looked lovely. No one complained and I know from asking everyone if they enjoyed them, which was a resounding yes. The mains choices, everyone except one had a roast, the exception had mushroom Wellington which he enjoyed. The roasts, either beef, lamb or pork belly came with roasts spuds, mash, red cabbage which I think had a hint of cinnamon through, cauliflower, broccoli, stuffing cored parsnips, which everyone thought were a great hit, yorkshire pudding and lashings of gravy. I know everyone enjoyed their mains, my brother on law has stated it was one of the best roasts he has ever had, very generous serving, perfectly cooked veg. I had the pork belly which was soft and delicious and the crackling strong enough to withstand a knife and fork but not my teeth once I picked it up and devoured it. The sweets choices chosen were posset, creme brulee, ice cream, lemon drizzle, chocolate fudge cake, cheesecake. Again everyone enjoyed this course and this course and the mains had all come out together so no one was left waiting. It's unusual when a restaurant cooks for such a large party that someone doesn't have a slight issue with something, oh this is cold , oh this is over done, we're waiting for someones meal, you know the sort of thing that can happen but honestly there was not one issue. All The food was lovely. To be honest I think I was ready to burst, but not complaining. The cheesecake was pistachio. I didn't know before hand it was pistachio, I don't think I would have chosen that if I'd known but I enjoyed it. It was a generous size and lovely with cream. This was a perfect example of how good local food can be. Thank you to all the staff who looked after us. Thanks to Kate, Steve and Jacqui for making my Mums day so special as the service and food contributed massively to her perfect day. She's still on cloud nine. I think its important to review restaurants to let readers know you had a good or bad experience. This was a good experience. I've had a couple of meals here in recent times and on both occasions the food was lovely. If I lived in Scunthorpe I would definitely visit here on a regular basis, it's great pub, nice staff and serves great food

Always rate this place, food excellent as always and great staff

Enjoyed calling in with friends for a drink on way home from a day out. Enjoyed it 👍

Really enjoyed the food, nice staff who actually speak to you, ye will be going back 👍

Excellent food as always. Most of the staff were warm and friendly.

Good chips, pie was disappointing and service was slow.

Update. Like most places now it ain't cheap with prices up to what I'd expect to pay in london (£6-8 starters £13-20 mains £5 deserts) but it is still good and my only gripes are a bit silly. For example, why call them bbq ribs when they have clearly never seen a bbq? Why do I only get 2 onion rings when the guy on the next table, paying the same amount, gets 7? (they were awesome!). I will add though that the childrens meals were freshly made (no oven chips, no frozen rubbish) and my kids really enjoyed it!

Beautiful meal an friendly bar staff xx

Excellent fish and chips. Lovely light batter and thick cod. As good as I've had in many a year. Very friendly bar staff too. This pub was recommended to me and they were spot on.

Nice friendly place, food was excellent

Lovely old fashioned pub and very clean. The many Staff are 'excellent' and atentive and really do look after the populace. The food was OK! not so excellent as was expecting and was looking forward to, this is for a Saturday evening. A lot on the menu was not available, then when we did order and received, 2 of the dishes were not very good for the price of £30 each, infact, we would have paid £10 only for. Also the wine collection for our meals, again, not enough choice and what there was, was poor quality we received. A pub not having a Rioja or Merlot, come on!! So, we do not know if the usual chef was off on this night, or they were waiting for orders of wine, either way, we will try again and see if it will be any different next time as we live in the village.

Attended for a wedding reception.Friendly pub, with a large car park. Food was great and the staff amazing.

Good simple food, pleasant service with amiable staff. Thank you, Dave.

Went last night for an evening meal and drinks and the food was fantastic! The service was really good and the staff can not do enough for you! It's certainly the best pub in the area with restaurant quality food!

Lovely Pub.. Great Food.. Reasonable Priced.. Good Service .

It's OK, very quaint and relaxing pub.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch with good service and great food. Nice relaxed ambiance and polite and friendly staff.

Booked a Sunday lunch and we were not disappointed. The staff were friendly and the lady who runs it was telling us about some wines she had and let us try before we buy which was very nice of here. We couldn't fit a pudding in but will definitely be back. We've tried the food from the normal menu during the week and its all really good and not expensive. A real gem!

Great fish and chips. The fish was so fresh. The pub is a Nice warm environment. Food was a good price.

Good night but can't rate the food any higher than average

Beautiful food, ambiance and great service- can't fault it, thank you!

Dog friendly, great lunch time meal with friendly staff

We booked for late December to enjoy dinner with family. It’s not easy booking decent places in Scunthorpe so I’m always apprehensive about eating out, but the Horn Inn had a great atmosphere and the food was actually really good. The waitress was really pleasant, helpful and cheery which is also a rarity in this town so overall, I’d be really happy to return next time we visit.

Excellent pub, good atmosphere and Timothy Taylors on draught.

Popped in without booking but snapped a table that wasn’t reserved! I was very pleased we did the food was lovely! I had a steak and ale pie and the pastry was beautiful! Well done the chef! My husband had ham and eggs and was equally as pleased as I was we enjoyed every bite! Thank you, the staff where also very friendly and helpful, they looked after us really well.

From walking in the staff was very helpful and good. The food was excellent .Will go again.

Kate very kindly invited us back after a previously disappointing meal. This time it was lovely and we’ll certainly be visiting again. Great food, nice staff. Definitely not disappointing on this occasion. Thanks Kate for giving us the opportunity to visit your pub again and enjoy a beautiful Sunday lunch.

This place just never fails to deliver. Amazing staff, great atmosphere and food coma as the portions are huuuuge and just perfection

Lovely place to have a meal and great service..

The Horn has become our new favourite place to go for Sunday lunch. Would definitely recommend! The service is always fab too, such a lovely atmosphere!

Had a sunday lunch delivered it arrived hot and was a large portion ..very tasty I would definitely have another one excellent quality .the young woman delivering the meal was very friendly

Atmosphere great our birthday celebration was lovely. 6 different mains all arrived together piping hot beautifully presented and all superb. And then desserts to match! Staff really friendly and efficient. A super night all-round. We will be back. From Dave's family

Went for my Dad's 80th birthday with six of the family. Beautiful food, superb range - something on the menu for everyone. Friendly and helpful staff, great atmosphere. The whole team made it a really special night. We've already booked in for the next tapas night (first Friday of every month). Thank you. X

First visit having moved to the village 6 months ago. Waited an hour for food, steak arrived uncooked despite requesting medium, when requested it be cooked a little more it still returned incorrectly cooked. Steak was expensive so requested to discuss bill with manager who advised that all food cooked fresh hence the wait (does it really take an hour to fry some fish and chips and veggie curry? These dishes were OK though). Manager refused to admit there was anything wrong with steak but on this occasion agreed refund, which was fine as won’t be dining there again.

Went for a meal Saturday nights was made to feel very welcome by all the staff, there was a great atmosphere in the pub and the food was lovely. We enjoyed it that much we booked for the day after and had Sunday lunch. What a great decision it was fantastic. Special mention for the gravy too! Will definitely go again when we are in the area.

Friendly staff, great service and lovely food.

Excellent two course Sunday dinner. Dog friendly and choice of vegan food Would strongly recommend

We were really impressed with The Horn Inn, great menu and delicious food! The staff are very welcoming and friendly and the atmosphere is very inviting. Would definitely recommend The Horn Inn

On a visit from East Yorkshire. The staff are second to none. They can't do enough to make it a fantastic experience. Amazing food and a truly memorable night. Be proud everyone of you

The food was absolutely delicious here and the staff were so pleasant . Atmospheres like this make you want to come back and yes we will definitely be returning soon

Lovely home cooked food, large plates and great value.

Visiting family and called in on curry's of the world night We all had a fabulous meal and served by a very friendly young lady We would recommend this pub to all.

Brilliant village pub great staff and great meals at a good prices Sunday lunch is fantastic

A little diamond this place, lovely place to be, owners and all the staff so welcoming and friendly…. And the food is absolutely gorgeous!

Just popped in for couple of pints. Staff were really friendly, warm and welcoming. Good pint if Guiness too

Great place, great service. Had the rack of ribs, it was awsome.

Lovely evening. Friendly, welcoming staff. Fab atmosphere

Nice friendly staff didn't have any food so that's why only four stars will be going back

Food is fantastic and has a really classic pub feel to it

Nice place, and really good food.
