The Hume Arms, South-Kyme in North Kesteven

Best pub I’ve been to in a while hospitality was absolutely fantastic and even tho they were not serving food they did bacon sandwiches would reccomend to anyone

We came here for Sunday dinner. The Sunday dinner was absolutely delicious and the service was fantastic! We also decided to get some desserts afterwards and these were also incredible! Thankyou to Vijay and Maeve for the wonderful food, desserts and service! Highly recommend!

South Kyme is a little of the beaten track but well worth the effort. Beautiful decor and clean facilities show the effort that goes into this place. Friendly owners couldn’t have done more and the food was exceptional - one of the best roast beef dinners I have ever had the pleasure of! It was all fresh, hot and well presented with nothing missing - it had the giant Yorkshire pudding, horseradish, mustard and the most wonderful gravy (no joke!) Word of warning THE CHEESECAKE IS ADDICTIVE! Highly recommended and we will be visiting again. The Kings

We met with friends that we hadn't seen since October to celebrate my husband's birthday. We had such a warm welcome from Vijay and Maeve. The table had been laid up for us outside and nothing was too much trouble! We all had indian meals which were authentic, delicious and beautifully cooked. We will certainly be back and can't recommend The Hume highly enough! Thank you too for dealing with the surprise champagne from Oregon 😊 Good luck to you both and we'll see you again soon.

We visited on several occasions during "Eat out to Help Out". We had all pre-ordered fillet steak as the usual steak night serves sirloin as standard. Obviously, that meant the price was a little more elevated than usual. However, the steak was perfectly cooked and delicious at both visits so proved to be worth the extra outlay. We also had lamb roast and curry at other visits. All the food was delicious on every occasion. Even our dog was welcomed (doggy treats kept behind the bar). Covid compliant measures made the visits safe for everyone.

We visited today 30 Aug 20 as a family of 4 along with our 2 sausage dogs to be greeted by the lovely owners and shown to our table , the place was very clean and following the strict covid guidelines We had already booked the table and ordered Sunday lunch before we arrived the drinks were served quickly and not long after the owner wheeled in his famous silver meat carving trolley to carve the succulent roast beef which was cooked to perfection to go with the perfectly cooked vegetables and delicious gravy. The dinner filled us up but we were so tempted by desert we managed to squeeze some in as it was all homemade the Eton mess, Bailey's Cheesecake and ice-cream. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone passing threw on a staycation if you want to experience nice food and fab hospitality Thankyou to the lovely owners Vicki , Andrew , Leah , Lewis and Sausages

So, with the COVID-19 pandemic in full swing, the Hume has started offering a full takeaway service. I popped in after work to pick up lamb bhuna - served with poppadoms, rice and naan bread, plus two bottles of Cobra on the house (available while stocks last). This, and the sublime roast beef Sunday lunches, is a firm favourite of ours and it was excellent. Give it a try!

We are always striving to find excellent Sunday roast locations and this is one of the best we’ve come across. I don’t give out 5 stars often but out of the 30 or so places we e tried in Lincolnshire, this is top 3 or 4. The beef is perfect. The veg is well cooked. The parsnips are sweet. Good choice of puddings. The staff are lovely - we were welcomed into the restaurant and they provided brilliant service. They were also very good with our 18month old daughter. Please visit

Was unsure where to go for Sunday lunch. 230pm so lucky to get in anywhere. Lovely roast beef, veg and roast potatoes and home made gravy. Fantastic

Short notice Sunday lunch, New to the area rang them off the cuff and they could not have done more to fit us in and make us feel welcome. The building is lovely and very ease to find with ample parking without a drop of litter anywhere. The owners and staff are all very friendly and instantly set you at ease. We were served drinks in the main bar, while they prepared the table. When you see the large silver Christofle style carvery trolley and the beef is reveal it looked amazing. It was cooked superbly moist and tender. The Gravy was AMAZING could have had that with a Yorkshire pudding on its own, I even ate the parsnips which don't really like. Wasn't intending to have a sweet but did, very tasty but light cheese cake. All in all good food, great atmosphere and Sunday lunch with sweet and drinks for 2 for £43 absolute bargain. will be going again.

We asked Maeve and Vijay to make us a celebratory Indian meal. No effort was spared to give us a wonderful gastronomic and cultural experience. Delicious, amazing variety of food. Explanations of what we were eating and the traditions and customs behind it all. Can't thank or praise them enough. Best Sunday lunch around too.

Visiting family & friends at Tattersall Lakes for the day. Couldn't eat there as they have no guest policy so Emma in the group found the Hume Arms a short drive away but able to accommodate the 10 adults, 6 children and 2 babies. What a wonderful warm welcome we received. They put us all in our own room with tables laid out lovely. Whilst we did wait a while for the food we were sure it was freshly cooked so that wasn't a problem at all. Nothing was too much trouble. Most of us had the roast beef Sunday lunch but sausages were cooked for kids who wanted them, Indian food was cooked for those who wanted Indian cuisine and everyone was more than happy with their meal. The hosts were brilliant. Unfortunately my husband wasn't feeling well and cancelled his meal and went to sit in the car whilst we all ate our meals. The hosts were very concerned about him, which was nice. I would certainly recommend this wonderful, friendly restaurant to anyone. And I would willingly come again should we be in the area. I apologise profusely for forgetting their names but 'he' was a comedian and his banter had us in stitches and 'her' soft Irish accent I could have listened to for weeks. They are an absolute dream team and I loved every minute with them. The big laugh was the guy sat at the bar, who had obviously imbibed a few, who couldn't seem to grasp that we were from Chesterfield and not Chester! Kept asking how long it took to get from Chesterfield to Chester. Said I didn't know as had never been. He had been to Chester. But obviously not Chesterfield. I said we had the Crooked Spire and he said they had nice shops in Chester!!! Obviously the beer good too at The Hume Arms! Thank you so much.

After trying to find somewhere to accommodate 15 people at short notice For Sunday lunch I’m so glad we came across The Hume Arms the staff were so friendly and the food was amazing the best beef dinner I’ve ever had and we also got offered sample dishes from there Indian menu and the homemade baileys desert went down a treat thank you so much I can’t wait to visit again in the future.

Can’t thank Maive & Vijay enough for their wonderful food & hospitality. Nothing was too much trouble for us. Thank you guys 😀

Having A birthday trip to East Kirkby air museum planned for A Saturday morning/lunch time I needed somewhere to eat before the family split up to go different ways. I looked on tripadvisor for somewhere to eat locally, but I only found low ratings or not serving food to suit our time of day. Then I spotted The Hume Arms and phoned them on Friday night explaining to Vijay not sure what time or numbers, only estimates. No problem was Vijays reply phone me tomorrow with details and we will see what we can do. So I rang at 1.30PM on Saturday with no reply, within two minutes Vijay rang back and we organised A time and numbers with Vijay saying no rush. On arrival we were warmly welcomed served drinks and given A well stocked menu off which we ordered several different meals, steaks and curries mainly. All the meals arrived hot and very tasty,. We spoke to Vijay after finishing our meals to congratulate him on his wonderful service and hospitality. So if you are in the South Kyme area looking for somewhere to eat do not miss the chance to dine here.

Went to visit for sunday lunch with 3 friends .we love to try different venues all 4 of us decided that this was the best sunday lunch we have ever had and Vijay and Meave were the best hosts .nothing is too much trouble for this couple it was a pleasure just to meet them .will definately go again

Fui a dar un paseo por el área local (geocaching, ¡búscalo!) Y fui a tomar una bebida rápida y un bocadillo para mi pequeño niño. Agradable pub y personal muy educado. Definitivamente regresaría a probar la comida otro día.

Another great visit to The Hume. Lovely warm welcome from Maeve and Vijay. The Roast was wonderful as always. We love your beef, gravy and company!! 😘

Qué sorpresa, vivir dentro de 15 millas y haber viajado más allá regularmente, nunca me había aventurado hasta el día de hoy.

Hemos probado muchos pubs en la zona, pero The Hume Arms los supera a todos. Hacen el almuerzo del domingo como debería ser, ahora hemos estado varias veces y siempre es excelente. La carne es de solomillo de alta calidad, perfectamente cocida y muy tierna, las verduras son frescas y están hechas a la perfección. Y el servicio es rápido y amigable

Nos estábamos quedando localmente durante el fin de semana para la fiesta de despedida de mi hija. Hemos enviado un correo electrónico para reservar antes de nuestra estancia y Maeve no podría haber sido más servicial, nada era un problema. En la noche tuvimos dificultades para conseguir un taxi, pero Vijay logró conseguir uno para nosotros. La comida fue deliciosa y todos tuvimos una noche estupenda. Gracias una vez más Maeve y Vijay

We had lunch at the Hume today for our 22 pensioners and their wives. The menu was Home made mushroom soup or prawn cocktail followed by either Roast Beef - carved from the trolley - or salmon. For pudding we had a choice of Apple Crumble or Irish Cheese Cake.

Very friendly hosts. Good beer and lovely area. Will visit again. I would recommend the pub for drinks and the meals smelled and looked fabulous.

Went there for a wonderful Sunday lunch. Perfectly cooked beef and roast potatoes.

We had heard about the wonderful Sunday roast dinner at The Hume Arms and thought we would go and try for ourselves. As soon as we walked in the door we knew we had made a good choice. The pub is tastefully decorated and has a calm ambiance. The greeting was friendly and polite. Even though we hadn't been there before we were made to feel very welcome. The hosts make you feel at home immediately. We particularly liked the relaxed atmosphere and not being rushed. The roast dinner was just as we had heard it would be and yes Vijay does carve the meat in front of you from a beautiful Victorian trolley! Very stylish and a wonderful dramatic touch. Maeve is very attentive and brings beautifully cooked vegetables, Yorkshire Puddings and gravy to your table. I would say this is one of the best roast dinners I have eaten out. Equally as good as the very best home cooked meal. We were told about a special roast dinner day later in September. We booked our table immediately. Surely that must be the best recommendation.

We visited last Saturday and had the most amazing meal. The venue is lovely to look at, being tastefully decorated. Very clean surroundings inside and out. The owners were lovely and looked after us so well. We will certainly be returning customers.

Viajábamos a un pueblo cercano para otro motivo en conjunto cuando pasamos la Hume y destacó lo bien que se veía desde el exterior.

Visited The Hume tonight and enjoyed some fabulous Fish & Chips. Generous portion size, lovely light crisp batter, beautifully cooked. A great treat to end the week.

Back to the Hume by popular demand is the Friday teatime fish and chip supper special - and I can highly recommend it. There's currently a choice between small and medium fish, but the small fills the plate and is more than enough for all...

Decidimos en los brazos de hume, ya que tenía que ser en sleaford. No me decepcionó yo comí pollo al curry y mi esposa, el curry grande sobresaliente era muy sabroso, como el arroz y pan naan el sobresaliente era grande con todos los adornos. Sin duda volveremos cuando volver por este camino.

Este es un pub restaurante precioso en un maravilloso pueblo pintoresco. La comida es fantástica, realmente me gusta su platos indios mientras mi mujer adora el pescado. Hemos estado varias veces y volveremos.

We have been more than once to the Hume in this picturesque village, and each time the food has been superb, served by the fantastic staff. The choices on the menu are great, and we always leave feeling very full and very happy.

Hadn't eaten here for a while so we thought we'd give it a whirl. I remembered from some years ago the owner / chef is Indian and prepares lovely curries from his own recipes; thought it might make a change.As it happens, three of our party of four chose haddock fish cakes; I had scampi. And very nice it all was too. If I'd got out of bed the wrong side that morning, I might have said I would have preferred the chips cooked a few minutes longer, but they weren't soggy. Both couples shared one cheesecake portion each after a filling and tasty main course and both were sensational - our limoncello cheesecake was superb and our friends were delighted with their choice.Our hosts were friendly, and charming. Nice people. Good beer, too!Bill for four mains, two puddings, and four drinks, £59. Spot on.

Another super evening at The Hume. Warm welcome as always and great food! Beef & gravy amazing!!We look forward to seeing you in 2017.

A small group of us went last night for a meal. The food was marvellous, the roast beef was so tender it was unbelievable! As usual the welcome and service from Maeve and Vijay was great. All at a very reasonable price.

I'm one of a group that meets monthly at The Hume Arms and it's the warm welcome that impresses me above all else. The food is good, the portions are generous, served cheerfully and with panache by Vijay and Maeve who are quite a team. i have never left hungry and always leave smiling!

Since 2009, we as a family, have visited the Hume arms on a monthly basis. We have never been disappointed with our welcome, service, quality of food and camaraderie. Both Vijay and Maeve think nothing to going out of their way to make our visit something to remember.

A group of us have a meeting once a month at lunchtime. We used to meet in Sleaford but since discovering The Hume we would not think of moving. Our lunches are either roasts served from the silver Victorian trolley or curries. VJ the proprietor goes out of his way to ensure our every need is satisfied from perfect cooking of the joints, to a selection of vegetables to a range of desserts prepared by his wife Maeve. Cannot fault the quality of the food and te standard of service.

My family and I visited The Hume again today for Sunday lunch. Once again we were treated to superb roast beef, served at the table from the Victorian trolley with the best gravy ever, followed by an excellent choice of homemade sweets. A lovely afternoon spent in The Hume with a great atmosphere and excellent food. Thank you

This was the venue for our wedding breakfast and evening crlebration. Lovely food. Friendly and attentive staff and a very nice varied evening buffet. All in all we had a wonderful day. Thank you.

Having passed this location on a daily basis, I decided to book this pub for a family meal giving them a weeks notice. On arriving, there were a few tables occupied by guests but no staff to be seen. Minutes later, we were shown to our table and left again for a considerable amount of time. We then saw the assumed owner wheeling a trolley platter around a slicing one of the two meats contained within - which to be honest, looked dry and unappealing. We signalled to him that we would like to look at the men us but were told that a wedding party had consumed more food than previously thought the night prior…?! All that was on offer was this dried up beef joint which looked like a set piece from the walking dead series!Long story short, we drank our drinks swiftly and decided to eat somewhere else which is something I have never felt the need to do before. It is a shame as the place looks decent both inside and out but is clearly run by unprofessional people.The whole experience reminded me of Fawlty Towers…..

Following terrible traffic conditions, we were driving far too late and were too tired to continue. With a great deal of help from a local hotel owner, we were provided with a room at the Hume. We were so grateful for the last minute accommodation, and the breakfast was lovely. The hotel owners was lovely, and very welcoming. Would happily stay again.

My family live a few doors down from The Hume and although I'm not a huge fan of the new blue garish doors, everything else about this place is fab. I live in Australia and every visit back involves a trip to the local pub for a drink. We had our family wedding meal here and they were absolutely amazing going above and beyond when I planned to surprise my family by turning up to a family meal at The Hume on a surprise trip back from Australia. The owners are lovely and deserve all the beautiful reviews they have got so far. Its clean, modern yet cosy with great drink selection and good food, everything a pub should be - go there!

I took my wife here for her birthday and we were not disappointed. We received a warm and friendly welcome by the owners. Service was pleasant and unrushed. Nice choice of food and we both had a curry, though different types. Neither of us could complain about the curries as they had a great depth of flavour. So overall we had a very pleasant evening and will return.

We were recommended to try this restaurant by our son-in-law. It was a long drive for us but we really enjoyed the curry. The host and hostess were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. There were lots of other meals we could have chosen but the curry was an excellent choice, it was full of flavour and the meat tender. It felt really healthy unlike some curries we have had. I would love to try the Sunday roast sometime as in some of the reviews it says the meat is carved at the table which would be a really nice idea in my opinion. I wish it wasn't such a long drive for us as I am sure we would visit regularly.

Still excellent in every respect and I'm pleased to say standards haven't dropped in all this time. The Hume Arms is as highly recommended as it was when i posted my first review several years ago.

After hearing about The Hume Arms before, we thought last minute we'd give it a try last night. We received a warm welcome, plenty of choice drink wise with a nice hand pull real ale on. No trouble accommodating us considering we didn't book and it was 8pm on a Saturday night. The food was fantastic all home made, the only mistake we made was having starters as then we struggled with main course! For starters we had lamb samosas and prawn cocktail, mains chicken and cream of leek homemade pie (one of the best pies I've had in a long time! And I'm fussy!!) extra sauce for the pie was lush! And gammon, no messing there lovely thick cut gammon with a nice bit of fat on, nice to be given the choice as most places cut it off now. They really are a lovely couple taking time to chat with us and tell us a little about the history of the pub. Locals were friendly and chatty we will definitely be back with family in tow! Thank you!

After reading many favourable reviews of the Hume Arms at South Kyme we thought we'd try it for ourselves last evening. The place was clean, tidy and smart and the welcome from our host was warm. Food prices are very reasonable, the service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive and the food was excellent. If you weren't at the Hume Arms having a meal last night, (and you probably weren't, as it was very quiet), you missed out on an excellent dining experience. Will we go back? Oh YES!

This was our second visit to The Hume Arms, where we were again greeted by warm and friendly staff. We had starters, mains and desserts; all scrummy! Thank you for a great evening x

Great food in a traditional pub setting. The chicken and leek pie was fantastic. Very friendly owners made our visit a thoroughly enjoyable evening

Nice traditional type of pub , with good food .The Real ale is great and varies.It is our regular place and much liked after watching rugby .They have a good selection of dessert also.

Went for Sunday lunch with family visiting for the weekend. We were the first in the dining room and served with the roast beef. Beautifully cooked and served with lovely roast potatoes, fresh vegetables and Yorkshire puddings. The gravy was excellent as well. As there were 10 of us top ups of veg, potatoes and gravy were brought out with no problems. The selection of deserts was good and the Bailey's cheesecake was lovely. We will be going back soon. We have other family visiting in a few weeks so will be booking again.

We visited on a Saturday evening, we loved the friendly atmosphere, upon reading menu I was very interested in the smaller appetite option on the mains, this meant I was able to fully enjoy all three courses. The home made Baileys cheesecake is certainly something I would have hated to miss.

Well what can I say found this place on trip advisor so glad I did best ROAST BEEF I have ever tasted ..... Served at your table slightly pink the gravy was to die for.The owners welcomed us in to there beautiful pub what more could I say 5 stars will deffo be going back and taking friends next time

A friendly service and the best roast beef you can get carved on a silver platter next to your table. Wonderfull.

It's not always open, and it wasn't when we went, but the owner saw us and welcomed us in. The place was warmed nicely on a chilly day and the menu options looked good although we didn't eat there. The owner had a bit of a chat with us at the bar and left us to it when we found a table. A nice place we've passed many times but been unsure whether to try going in. We will definitely go back just the two of us.

Fantastic roast dinner with all the trimmings. Never tasted beef so good. Fabulous service with very friendly hosts. Great atmosphere. Consistently great!,

The atmosphere is welcoming and the landlady is full of Irish charm and the landlord is a charismatic charmer! The steak is always cooked to perfection, complimented with the lovely golden chips, with any accompaniments that you require. My husband Richard has the claim to fame at this establishment as his enjoyment of the steak was so great that he ordered and ate another steak instead of having a dessert! Richard's appetite is larger than most! Can't wait till next Wednesday and we are all ready booked in for his birthday!

Went here at the weekend for a birthday dinner celebration. The staff were really friendly and went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The food was fresh, homemade and very tasty! All agreed we'd definitely go back again.

We went here after seeing good reviews on TA. We were not disappointed. Really tasty food, friendly couple (owners) who looked after us. Genuine home made grub, super proper pie and lovely home made samosas and curry. We live fairly locally so will definitely return. Sunday lunch soon!

Have been here on a few occasions, never been disappointed with food or drink. Sunday roasts are spectacular and not to be missed! Hearty portions and everything very fresh. Nice atmosphere, laid back and quiet.

We have stopped several times at the Hume Arms, each time enjoying an excellent drink with lovely pub food, but stopping for a Sunday lunch was one of the best ideas we have had in ages. It was a classic British Sunday roast beef lunch, and the beef itself was perfectly cooked being tender and very tasty. The service was friendly and prompt and the lunch was very good value for money. I am looking forward to going back.

We spent the night in this quiet place and loved it. Food was terrific, real ale was well kept. Room was white and clean, not fancy but pleasant enough. Unlike the 'cosy' en suite facilities the breakfast was large (too large for us) but excellently cooked. The small TV was a distance from the bed so not the best view in the world but that didn't bother US (but it might you). Would I go again? Yep, for sure - the hosts were great!!!

Recently spent few days in lincoln and found the hume arms through tripadvisor reviews. The staff here were exceptionally helpful and polite we had starter and mains both were very good in particular my husband had the brisket he said it was delicious, so overall really good place to try but its a bit further out of lincoln then we expected but worth a visit if you are in the area.

The owners are very friendly and accommodating. We turned up on a Sunday evening and there were few customers about but that didn't stop our enjoyment. The home made curry was great as was the vegetarian Wellington and the home made puddings were great too, I am sure we will go again.

This pub, in the village of South Kyme, is just a short drive from the A17, just after/before East Heckington. if you are on your way anywhere east or west on the A17, it is worth the short 10 minute detour for a meal. Great to visit if you are local to the area. The owners of the pub are extremely friendly and create a welcoming and homely atmosphere. The decor of the pub also helps to create a good atmosphere and very pleasant dining surroundings. The food is good value and there is a good choice for the main courses. They offer smaller portions of most dishes, an option that I wish more restaurants would do. The dessert menu was a limited and we didn't fancy any of the options so I can't comment on the quality of those.I would recommend you give this pub a try and if you like indian food, try one of the curries.

Wonderful meals clearly cooked from scratch. Portion size was enormous. Very tasty with a wide variety to choose from. Lovely atmosphere. Very helpful staff both friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. Great place to come for a quiet meal.

Highly recommended! Great staff, food and the cleanliness/access for wheelchairs is the best I have seen. Also very pretty village with good walk along the river very close by.

How can you beat a freshly cooked Sunday English meal with Yorkshires and beef? Vijay even went out to get fresh fish for a Monday evening meal and made us fish and chips. Not just a meal, an experience. It was entertaining.

Great frendly family run pub,by the Sleaford Navigation. Great Food NOT Microw Wave. Good Real Beer. Well worth a small diversion for.

We stopped here by chance on a Tuesday for lunch when passing trough South Kyme. Luckily they were open and we were warmly welcomed by Vijay and Maeve. We were served a delicious home cooked lunch and have no hesitation in recommending the Hume Arms. The decor in the pub and restaurant were very tasteful and everything was spotless. All in all a very positive experience and we would cetainly visit again.

After reading good reviews on trip advisor we decided to give The Hume a try, we were not disappointed, we had a warm and friendly welcome from Vijay and Maeve and the pub is nice and clean. We ordered Sunday roast, today it was lamb that Vijay carved at our table, it was delicious, the veg was also delicious cooked to perfection. Then we decided to treat ourselves to a pudding, my husband ordered Irish coffee cheese cake which he said was lovely, I had Apple crumble and custard, best I've tasted in a long time! Thankyou for a lovely dinner, we will be coming back

Visited recently for a late Sunday lunch. Booked as it had such good reviews on tripadvisor and we were not disappointed. We ate at 3pm and were the only people in the pub but you would never have guessed it from the quality of the food we had! Everything was wonderfully fresh, not reheated or kept warm. We were served at our table by the friendly couple who own it. Customer service was brilliant and we were very well looked after. My only quibble might have been about the level of heating, but most places I visit I am cold so maybe it was just me. All in all, would definitely recommend and we will happily visit again when we are next in the area.

discovered this little gem only 6 miles from home on Tripadvisor . so thought we would give it a try one Sunday lunchtime. from the outside it looks like a large house not like a pub, restaurant, and on entering we were further surprised by the welcoming decor and very friendly Husband and wife team that run it. made us feel welcome within minutes of arrival.they recommended the Sunday Roast Beef, a Sirloin of beef carved at the table was amazing tender and succulent accompanied by perfect veg, potatoes and Yorkshire puddings. The menu also had a selection of traditional pub food and some Indian specials all of which sounded tempting.we had 2 main courses 2 desserts and 2 drinks each, total price £ 44.00 more than reasonable considering the standard of food and service. not easy to find great places to eat locally so this little gem will be visited again and again. Would highly recommend this pub, Restaurant.

We found this pub using the trip advisor app, when we were on the way back from Spalding to Lincoln. We rang ahead to check that there was a table and the landlady opened up 20minutes early especially for us. I was really impressed with the menu, as there was something for everyone but not too much that it confused you. We had homemade chicken curry and the gammon steak. Our children had homemade chicken nuggets which they loved. The gammon was a huge horseshoe and was really thick,served with real chips!! We also had the onion rings which melted in your mouth. The men had real ale which was really good and the house red was really nice too. Both the landlord and landlady were very welcoming and couldn't do enough for you. I would definitely come here again.

I feel very fortunate to live in a village with such a super pub and restaurant. There's always a friendly welcome and after many many meals at The Hume, I've never had cause for complaint. A meal at The Hume will always be prepared from the best available local produce. Vijay, the landlord and chef delights in serving roast beef carved at your table from a fine old Victorian carving trolley. I've never had a better sunday roast ... anywhere.

Probably started a drinking career here in 1970 whatever,so it was interesting to be back! Premise recognisably the same,but modernised to a high standard,and warm and bright. Landlord and his wife welcoming and helpful,enjoyed the midweek steak night deal,cooked exactly to order,and left with a firm resolve to come back and try either the landlords speciality curries or the weekend carvery. Can't fault it,the modernisation has left the character intact,and a visit is a good experience. Thanks for that good experience,see you soon!, Simon & Julie

Our third visit here in a month. We travelled up for an event at the Lincs Aviation Heritage Centre. This time we brought our teenage daughters with us, and we all agreed it was a truly delicious meal. One daughter had Vijay's chicken tikka with rice and naan bread and ate the lot - it was massive! The other had the sirloin steak and gave it a big thumbs up.Husband and I both had the gammon steak and were not disappointed. This time we only ordered one portion of onion rings though! Superb. Thank you so much Maeve and Vijay for your first class cooking and your warm and friendly welcome. Such a shame we live 170 miles away otherwise we would be here every week.

Went having read the excellent reports,and the pub was closed,20.00 on a weds. night,sadly no explanation or notice,paper or email. Hope there's no crisis and we can revisit again soon

We called in speck for a meal a saturday ago, fantastic meal place is beautiful , deserts to die for would certainly highly recommend, looking forward to going bck for the indian night

This ticked all the boxes for us both......Very dog friendly (which is rarity in Lincolnshire), warm and welcoming hosts and fantastic food! The menu is varied but just right and offers something for all. Vijay's Sunday roasts are simply the best, as are his Indian dishes (we tried the lamb samosas and his Bhuna). We have visited on 3 separate occasions now and we have not left disappointed! On Sunday there is a carvery option where Vijay carves the roast joint at your table. The meat on the 2 occasions we've had it has been perfectly cooked and extremely tasty, the roast potatoes and his gravy are the best we have ever had at a pub. Maeve, Vijays wife gave us a typical warm Irish welcome and plenty of friendly chat...................we will be back again and again and look forward to the next curry night!

We came up to Lincs for the weekend, and I booked a motel in North Kyme, was browsing on Trip Advisor and saw very good reviews for The Hume Arms. So we came here on our first night for dinner. A very warm and friendly welcome from Vijay. We both had the gammon steak - which was delicious; with simply THE BEST CHIPS that I have ever had - crisp, handcut which you could tell by the shapes, and hot hot hot! We were so hungry we ordered 2 sides of onion rings - or should I say, another main course on it's own! This time my eyes were definitely bigger than my belly! Have you ever had a meal and then said "I'm never going to eat again!" ? well it was one of those....clean and bright decor in the bar where we ate, (although we were given the choice to go and eat in the dining room) and very comfortable chairs, large tables and not cramped like some restaurants I've been to. Will be going back for Sunday roast tomorrow.. thank you Vijay

I live in a nearby village and The Hume Arms has been our 'secret' place to go for special occasions for the last 4 years. We have had many Birthday/Mothers Day/Fathers Day Sunday Lunches here and throughout this time the standards that we encountered on our first visit have always been maintained. The quality of the beef that Vijay cooks is outstanding as are all the usual roast dinner trimmings. Topped off with that fantastic gravy and I swear, the Sunday roast here has got to be one of the best, if not 'thee' best, I've had. If your not sure there's room for a desert, the sight of the delights on the desert trolley are usually all it takes to sway the decision! The a la carte menu (try the mushroom soup!) is equally as good and there are usually at least 1 or 2 excellent real ales to sample with your meal. Usually quiet and relaxed, the bar and restaurant areas have a refreshingly unique and tasteful style of decor (not the usual dingy dark oak beams and horse brasses) and the level of hospitality offered by Maeve & Vijay is excellent. I travel a lot with my work and eat in a lot of restaurants so I can be quite fussy when it comes to quality and service. I keep bringing my family back to the Hume so I think that says quite a lot. So give the Hume Arms a try ... I'm sure you wont regret it ... But 'Shhh' don't tell everyone!

Wow what a surprise! Booked a table here on spec and we were not disappointed. Nice surroundings and Vijay and Maeve were wonderful hosts. Try the king prawns in bandy, cream and Tabasco sauce - to die for.We had a great time and if we are back in the area we will certainly visit again and next time new Will stay with them too. Thanks for a great dining experience. X

We stayed here for bed and breakfeast and an evening meal a couple of years ago, the owners were very friendly and the food was great, I was looking into my family tree and the owner even arranged for us to meet someone who would know about the history of the village.We will be going there again when were out that way.We had gammon and chips, and there was more on the plate than we could manage to eat.

we were the only customers.The owners were very friendly. We had the gammon (thin, very average, small portion, poor value) and chicken curry (fine)Will not be going back

We have just had the most amazing Sunday lunch here,the beef was carved at the table ,beautiful fresh vegetables such a change to find a warm welcome and great home cooked food .We have booked for the special indian meal In October.We certainly will be recommending this restaurant it was well worth the half hour traveling time .A big thank you to Vijay and maeve from Graham and linda

We have visited the HUME ARMS a number of times since my last review of this establishment.On Sunday last we took some friends who were staying for the weekend knowing I could book incomplete confidence that they would not be disappointed, and of course I was right. Both our friends agreed it was a first class meal with first class service. I am not going to say any more, I would suggest you go and try it for yourself.

We were amazed by the Hume Arms. All of the food was made fresh to order and it was reflected in the quality of the cooking. Customer service was excellent. We will return.

had a very late lunch on a sunday evening we were only people in the bar but the food was fantastic had the sas pie as vijay called it and with it being quiet had the time for a bit cricket crack too and hes an expert great little find thanks guys :)

The food is superb, whatever cuisine you require, English or Indian. We are regulars to The Hume and on our last visit we thoroughly enjoyed our Indian dishes, to the degree it was better than eating in an Indian restaurant! VJ and Maeve are great hosts and, for us, the cask ales are spot on. South Kyme is a picturesque village with the River Slea running through it; it also hosts an 18-hole golf course, church and castle ruins - anyone visiting the area could not do better than making a stop at The Hume at South Kyme.

well it was the son in laws pick this week and he certainly came up trumps , quite a way from lincoln but worth the trip , a litle irish munchkin landlady Maeve and VJAY her husband run the place and he cooks a meal to be proud of ! english or indian cusine both superb and he makes all his own sauces which can be red hot or as mild as you like as can his boonha curry with his own chilli pepper sauce to add fire . we all had a taste of that and it AINT for the faint hearted , i had a finger end full and can vouch that my tongue was as hot as it ever has been and its all cooked fresh every day and the puds are fresh as well , we willl definitly be coming for more , there is Batemans hand pulled beer to enjoy as well !!! LOVED IT

The food here is nice. We live nearby and sometimes pop in for steak night on Wednesdays or lunch on Sundays. The atmosphere is always welcoming and the patrons entertaining. Mein hosts are also very friendly and welcoming. Well behaved dogs are also welcome.

We visited last night on their speciality Steak Night. My partner had the steak, which he said was cooked to perfection, and I chose the Keema Bhoona which was definitely one of the best curries I have ever had. The portions were large and so we were unsure whether to have desserts... so pleased we did as they were delicious! I went for the apple crumble (with proper vanilla ice cream) and my other half the irish cream cheesecake, which he also pronounced to be one of the best cheesecakes he has ever had. Service was prompt, the owners were chatty and the food was absolutely delicious. So much so that we have booked in for Sunday lunch after a recommendation that their roast beef is the best in Lincolnshire! A great pub and restaurant, we will definitely be regular customers!

Found this place last year when we booked to stay somewhere in North Kyme and were then contacted to say we couldn't. So glad now that the first place cancelled or we would never have found 'our special place'. The B&B is cosy and homely but that isn't the reason we keep going back! Vijay cooks THE most amazing Indian food we've ever tasted! It's that good we haven't got round to tasting anything else on the menu! We've been again tonight and discussed how we go about getting a take away that we can have at home! Mauve really welcomes you into her home and makes you feel welcome and valued. Our only regret ofThe Hume Arms is that it isn't closer...still, makes it all the more special when we do visit.

This is South Kyme's boat weekend, cancelled for the last two years (wrong kind of water, or something...) but in full swing this year. We kicked off with a quiz and hot buffet supper last night (Friday), and tonight Vijay laid on a tri-nation buffet - Szechuan chicken, lamb bhuna and Caribbean jerk pork. Every mouthful was delicious and we were invited to return to the servery as often as we liked. I've said it before - you seriously have to try the lamb bhuna, which is truly outstanding!

Parked at The Hume and then spent an hour walking around this lovely unspoiled village. On walking into the pub / restaurant we were greeted by friendly staff. We chose where to sit and ordered from the menu. The food took a while to arrive but this was not a problem as we knew it was being freshly cooked for us. The food arrived piping hot on very hot plates. Perfect.I think The Hume is a hidden gem, one we will be returning to as the Sunday Roast Beef that I ordered was cooked perfectly along with the crisp vegetables that still were vibrant in colour. My friend ordered chicken and leek pie and was that a monster of a pie. Delicious short crust pastry and freshly baked. The restaurant was very quiet and maybe this is due to the lack of web presence as the place should be 'buzzing' based on the surroundings, service and food.Give it a try - you won't be disappointed.

This old house has been tastefully converted into a friendly, homely pub come restaurant. But there is nothing amateurish about The Home Arms. From start to finish the experience was delightful.Mixing Indian and British food seamlessly, the roast beef dinner served from the silver Victorian trolley competed flawlessly with the tastily light short crust vegetable pie after the Indian starter platter. The meal was finished with a faultless homemade dessert and coffee. Well worth cruising up the Slea Navigation for.

The Villagers of South Kyne should be delighted they have such a great pub on their doorstep. We holidayed in South Kyme this February half term renting a cottage there. Usually we would only dine in a location once during our break.. but having discovered The Hume on our first night we went back a total of 4 times, even bringing friends with us to enjoy the ambience.We partook in a Curry Night the first night, excellent value Steak Night, an A La Carte night then delayed our return to London with the Sunday Roast.Vijay and Maeve made us most welcome and we look forward to having an excuse to be in this part of the country again soon.Dogs with well behaved owners were welcome in the bar area too!

Took the children for Sunday lunch and it was delicious, with exceptional gravy! And a cheesecake to die for. Was made to feel welcome from the we arrived to the moment we left. The Shukla's were very friendly and attentive and will definitely be eating there again.
