The Leagate Inn in East Lindsey

We went for a festive lunch with friends. The staff were all very friendly. The food was excellent The surroundings were lovely and very atmospheric with the beautiful decorations ready for the Christmas period.

We loved it here! Came once for food and drinks and second time for drinks only. We came with our dog who was chilled the whole time because it’s such a calming friendly welcoming environment! All of the staff are so friendly and loved Pablo our dog 🐶 and when we came back the second time , one of the ladies remembered us which was a lovely touch! The staff are definately a credit to this place! Food is delicious and very generous portions , we will definitely be back again soon on our next holiday 💘💘

When you step into The Leagate you are hit by the wonderful smell of woodsmoke and open log fires. It has low, beamed ceilings and enormous character. So, before you begin you are in a comfortable, homey, warm environment. The staff, Kyrie, Sean, plus other waiting and kitchen staff are incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful. The food was hot and delicious, with choices from both the menu and specials board. So, if you haven’t been then go and give it a visit - you won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely fantastic food, and amazing knowledge of coeliacs! Safest I have felt eating out in three years. The staff were really friendly and wait for food was not too long - especially for the quality!

Brilliant special thanks to Joe & Tallulah for a lovely stay the food was great and these 2 staff were the best see you soon....From Phil & Brenda

Absolutely amazing place. Friendliest staff I have had for a long time. Delicious food, really accommodating and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Another great experience at The Leagate on 2/10. From the warm friendly greeting, to the tasty, delicious, quality food, it was all spot on. We've visited a few times over the last couple of years and every time it always proves to be great.

We’re do I start, I drove from Liverpool to horncastle near to this restaurant, I was recommended to visit here by a local who I asked where was nice for a roast dinner. However from walking through the door of the Lea gate inn me and my partner were assisted by very helpful staff in a very professional manner, they made us both feel very comfortable in their establishment. Now let’s get to the food… wowwwww I got the lamb shank roast dinner and I could never describe the taste and quality of the food no matter how much I tried but I would definitely agree that the roast I had today was by far better than any I’d ever eaten before by a country mile. Put it this way the portions are huge and I had to have a sleep before making my journey back to Liverpool because I couldn’t bring myself to leave any of it, even the gravy was so good that I couldn’t bring myself to put mint sauce on the roast as the food was so nice I didn’t want to ruin it. My missus had the Lincoln sausage with mash and caramelised onion in gravy and same again her outcome was exactly the same as mine. We both came to the conclusion that we would travel to Lincolnshire again in the near future just to revisit this restaurant but stay over for night. All in all the experience that we received was unbelievable, The pricing on the food and drinks was reasonable for the quality that you receive, The service is second to none

Leah served us the best dessert my wife has ever had, the white chocolate and blueberry blondie 😋,and Mateo made me the most amazing Salmon and prawn linguine. Fantastic meal in lovely surrounds with really friendly and helpful staff. 10/10.

Very disappointing customer service and care. We were in the area for the weekend for a special family celebration. We found the insistence that we pre-order food strange, given they were unable to tell us what the catch of the day might be. The staff seemed stressed when we arrived and didn't let us sit down or look at the wine list before asking for drink orders. A power cut meant that we had to leave, after being told they could only prepare sausages and mash for us. Sadly, after the power cut happened, instead of giving us the info about the lack of food, they brought our drinks and then insisted that we pay for them when we left - this felt quite dishonest. It wasn't a very large order of drinks and, considering it was late afternoon on a Sunday with nowhere else to go, really felt like a rather mean decision on their behalf. The owner clearly did not care, hardly listening to us, and sent a member of staff to speak with us who just kept repeating that the power cut wasn't in their control (which was not our complaint). After we expressed our disappointment in feeling misled into buying drinks for a meal we weren't aware we could not have, the waitress even suggested that she hoped we would return. We assumed the lack of choice for decent food pubs in the area means that this pub doesn't need to make any effort to care for customers.

Had a wonderful evening meal, staff were very attentive and welcoming. The starters and mains were fresh and beautifully cooked - slight alterations to dishes were accommodated with no questions. Would highly recommend a visit.

We stayed for just one night in a family room with our two grandsons. It was a spacious ground floor room and beautifully cool on one of the hottest days of the year. We had a double bed and the boys had a single bed each - so much better than them having to share a sofa bed. The bathroom appeared to be recently renovated with a shower over the bath. Yes, parts of the hotel are looking tired but the hospitality business has had a lean few years and many hotels are similarly in need of redecorating and new carpets. However, our room was clean and comfortable and the food served was delicious with the breakfasts being outstanding. No breakfast buffet here, which made a very pleasant change, but a menu with many freshly cooked options all served with a smile by Kyrie. We very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Had issues with both staff and food. Dirty place. I complained to Harry Dennison who is the business owner, and he wasnt interested! Please avoid

We have had Sunday lunch here in the restaurant before and it was a nice experience. Still finding the gluten free options limited and I do object to paying for a Sunday lunch with items missing as they just don’t seem to be able to provide a gluten free Yorkshire pudding? It’s not difficult . However, this Sunday , having made a booking for four adults , I expected to be seated in the restaurant. My guests hadn’t been to this area before so I hoped for a nice experience. Apparently, they had a booking for 15 in the restaurant . We arrived, asked if we were with this group , on saying no, but we have a booking, we were shown to the dog friendly area in the bar , and to a table which was not laid for Sunday lunch . Cutlery was provided rather haphazardly, along with jug of water with glasses that I used to have at school 35 years ago! Well used, dishwasher marked, looking very sad! I have a dog and so am used to being sat in second class accommodation to eat, but not when I’ve made a booking, and do not have my dog with me. I would’ve liked to have been asked if I minded this? The meals were ok , nothing exceptional, at £18.75 per head, rather overpriced for this setting . We were bothered by flies throughout the meal . And, as mentioned in previous reviews, there are huge cobwebs hanging off the plants in the conservatory area which is the walkway to guest accommodation? Sorry to say, but something is not working at this venue , just something missing in consistency, maybe a woman’s touch is needed as attention to detail is sadly not there? Shame , as they’ve spent some money on some things .

First time visitor to this lovely pub. Sunday lunch was great with generous portions and service was efficient and friendly.

Booked The Leagate Inn for a meal to celebrate my wife’s birthday and met some friends there. The food was outstanding and the service was very good. The place had a fantastic atmosphere and felt very warm and homely. Was also nice to see the owner out and about interacting with the customers. Would definitely go back here.

What a fab pub. Didn’t realise it was as big as it was. Have been before but only for lunch. Staff were so polite, knowledgable about the products ( both beer and food), efficient, a pleasure to dine there. Food was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. We will be back.

We stayed here over the weekend - I have stayed in numerous places all over the world and this place is right up there - great staff and attention to detail is first class - food and the varied selection of drinks was amazing - would recommend an overnight stay or a trip out for great meal - keep up the good work guys and thank you

What a cozy pub! We called in for a bite to eat mid afternoon to a roaring warm fire and welcoming staff. We came with our dogs so sat in the bar area near the cozy wood burning fire. The staff were friendly and accommodating which made us feel really welcome. We ordered the double burgers and flat iron steak, all 3 of us enjoyed and would eat what we ordered again. I asked if they had anything for the two dogs and they were kind enough to bring out a couple of sausages with our meals as well as a water bowl.

We stayed here with the kids and our golden retriever. ALL the staff were fabulous, attentive and friendly. They took our daughter's peanut allergy extremely seriously, and every staff member checked with us when we ordered food. Excellent service and makes travelling with an allergic child much easier! THANK YOU!! We will be back!

The whole experience at the Leagate Inn was amazing from start to finish. There were 10 of us and everyone’s food was lovely, no one could fault it. The service was great, Lily was the perfect host, in fact all the staff were great. I would highly recommend the Leagate Inn for a Sunday lunch

What a pub! The History of the place dating back to 1542 is astonishing! Was recommended by someone while we was staying somewhere close by and wow we was impressed! Thank you to the young lad Harry for looking after our table and being so polite and patient with our children and there fussy needs 🤦‍♂️ Even my oldest daughter reckons it was the best burger she had in her life 🥳 Will be back for sure!

just back from a 3 night stay fabulous place to stay great food so homely and very friendly. Special mention to kyrie she was great and so helpful and really made our stay with her lovely friendly attitude. Well done all the staff at the Leagate Inn. fantastic place Will be back. Thank you all.

Went to the leagate inn last Thursday for an anniversary meal and cannot fault it! Staff are attentive, professional and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them. New winter menu is out and we highly recommend the squid and halloumi starters. The sticky halloumi is by far the best ive ever had. It was lovely to speak to the chef, Camille (i hope thats spelt right) after service you can see she takes great pride in the dishes that she serves. And a huge shout out to Lucy and Travis for their wonderful customer service throughout the evening. Think we have found our new favourite in the area. Thankyou all for a lovely evening 😊

Visited on a Saturday afternoon while staying at tattershall lakes. The staff were all very warm and welcoming and made sure we were well looked after! We had never heard of the lager they had on offer but the 1 advised to us based on what we normally drank was very good! We both had starters and mains and really enjoyed all of the dishes! I had duck from the specials and my only negative would be that there wasn't a lot of duck, but what I did have tasted really good. We would definitely come back and recommend.

⭐️ We’ve just had the most amazing meal. Everything was cooked to perfection and given we had two courses the portion size was bang on. I read some of the previous feedback and it nearly convinced me to find somewhere else, but nothing is too much trouble here, we met the owners who are very obliging and couldn’t do enough for us, it felt like a real Lincolnshire country pub. We had the steak and it was great! We would have absolutely no hesitation in suggesting this to family or friends, or even you, reading this review! Thanks, The Leagate Inn ❤️, absolutely banging!

Loved this pub! Staff, food and beer selection was on point. The rooms were beautifully decorated and would defo recommend to stay in fact this was the 2nd time I have stayed when up from London I was greeted with a lovely welcome by the staff, straight away drinks were offered, they showed me to my room, earlier that day they called me to see if I needed anything (lovely touch) they booked me in for dinner and asked about allergens. This pub is traditional and the guys who run the place are doing an amazing job. I WILL be returning Sticky toffee pudding was bad boy

Had wondered about this place for a few years but never managed to go….i wish it would have been a few years longer. not much to say other than i’m not sure how places like this continue to exist. food awful, service ok, bar selection odd. photo is apparently a king prawn and spinach risotto…4 small tasteless prawns in some slop

We visited The Leagate on September 18th for lunch and were very impressed with the historic building which included a pub with restaurant and a hotel, the very friendly and helpful staff and the delicious food! We had made a reservation and on arrival we were seated at a table next to the window where the sun was shining through! We ordered some drinks and perused the menu, Kyrie our waitress told us about the specials and two of us had the minted lamb burgers, the other two had the haddock & chips. None of us were disappointed as the food was excellent! Unfortunately we were all too full to partake in any dessert but would definitely return to the Leagate in the future!

Didn’t realise pub had changed hands from when we had a meal there a yr ago. Disappointed with our meal over priced, portions extremely small, partner had fish n chips, £16.95, had around 10 chips, covered by the fish! He was told he could have proper mushy peas, but was served with crushed frozen peas! I had halloumi burger, 3 small strips of halloumi on a toasted bun £14.95, total rip off, would not recommend

Wow, amazing food and fantastic staff. We couldn't have asked for more, we had a dog who was treated so well as were we. Highly recommend and we will be here again probably to stay next time too.

My wife is gluten intolerant. Found this place on Google search and we are all so glad we did. Dog friendly. And staff were amazing. Their local knowledge was amazing. Food was delicious and fantastic portion sizes. We visited 2 days on the trot. We...

Lunchtime meal for 5 people. Nice atmosphere, amazing food. It really was a pleasant experience. Steak cooked to perfection, amazing risotto, and the best Goan curry I have ever tasted.

Spent two nights in the Leagate while in the area for a family wedding. We had booked the family room which was really spacious, beds were super comfortable, beautiful shower & it was exceptionally clean. We ate an evening meal on the first night, baked...

Lovely family meal for 9 people, food was excellent with a great choice. Excellent table service from Travis and Sam. Friendly and value for money !

Quite possibly the worst steak we have ever tasted!!!! My partner could not eat his. It was so raw, he had requested a medium! Totally ruined my daughter’s birthday. Very awkward and we were charged the full amount. Honestly we would have been better off...

I’m afraid I must echo previous disappointing review. Pub itself very nice - good feel and very welcoming staff. On arrival I spoke with a waitress about my wife’s intolerance to garlic and onion and was assured they could accommodate her dietary needs. My wife...

The Leagate Inn held our wedding on the 15th September. From the moment I contacted the owners, communication flowed. They understood everything that we envisaged for our wedding and went above and beyond to accommodate. We’d met the owners several times to go over the...

I have mixed feelings about this place - we visited last year and were blown away with the Sunday roasts (produce was great) and twinkly lights so we thought we’d bring the family back here for a special occasion when we went to tattershall lakes....

We called here yesterday as a family of 8 yesterday afternoon for a meal whilst we were in the area. Sat outside in the sunshine and had a lovely meal. Lovely beer garden, lovely food, great place. Will definitely return when back in the area...

Standards have slipped. I must say this meal was very substandard. The Lamb Ramen was a minuscule excuse for a shank ,the tender stem was very hard and only about five new potatoes in a tasteless liquid. The fish was very small and batter soggy....

What an amazing little find! We were staying nearby at Tattershall Lakes and wanted somewhere local to eat out during our stay. So glad we stumbled across The Leagate Inn it was perfect for our family. Amazing food and cocktails and a great play area...

Great food and service and lovely friendly staff especially Kyrie. Very upbeat and chatty Very reasonable price. Nice pub with a great garden.

We were told the pie was really good by a friend, unfortunately we were very disappointed. Thick pastry, very little meat and what I did get was fatty.

We arrived at the venue for a meal we were seated ar our table by Lily who s customer service was excellent very attentive nothing was too much trouble and she was very organised as well as looking what was going on around her ensuring...

I rate this place 5* Myself and my partner stayed in the hotel for a night away from the children, and what a delight it was. Our evening meal was beautiful followed by our breakfast the next morning. I had biscoff and banana pancakes and...

Went to the Leagate on Saturday and enjoyed a lovely meal for lunch. We was served by Lilly who was fantastic from start to finish and couldn't have been more helpful. Will definitely be returning for more delicious food :)

Only came in for drinks but was persuaded by the lovely waitress Lilly, to try some bits of the new lunch menu. Lovely atmosphere and lovely service. Thank you Lilly 😊

A lovely visit for lunch today at the leagate. Have popped in many times for a drink in the garden but booked for lunch. Super tasty lunch. Great, clear info regarding veggie and gluten free menu from our server lilly. Would definitely recommend!! Look forward...

My first visit to this establishment and probably my first and last visit if I am honest. Surroundings outside the pub are not good. The food is average and very overpriced especially the mains. The 2 chicken sewers not the best I have had with...

Very dissapointing service. We have been attending the Leagate Inn nr Coningsby with our son and family who visit at least twice a month for the last year. They would always take us or their friends and family when visiting for a specia meall. Tonight...

Dissapointing service. Have been attending the Leagate about twice a month for the last year. Always take friends and family when they visit us. Tonight I was served with a special, that was so difficult to eat, I tried but I couldn't get through half...

I came for lunch with parents - thoroughly enjoyed and nice atmosphere. Was looked after by Lily, very professional and will be back again.

Easily the best breakfast I've had! fantastic atmosphere, good portion size and the service was great. Kyrie was extremely professional and gave a warm welcome. I'll definitely be back!

We stopped here overnight on our way to Yorkshire. Honestly can’t rate it highly enough. We had a dog friendly family room. Nicest family room we’ve ever stayed in, so clean and nothings too much trouble. Ate our evening meal and breakfast and food was...

Friendly and welcoming staff. We arrived at the last moment to get some lunch (normally last orders at 2.30) but there was no problem in ordering from the menu. Food was very tasty, well presented and good value. Would certainly eat here again when in...

This is a lovely country pub and restaurant in Lincolnshire. The food and atmosphere were excellent, along with the service. However, the prices were extortionate for a rural setting. They were more like London prices

We went as a party of 9 on Saturday night. We are always looked after and the food is very good. Staff are attentive and friendly. Always a pleasure to eat at The Leagate.

Seen the pub many times called in in January 23.fot the first time been back know 9 times just left the food well brilliant service by Kylie just couldn't be better backed up by Shay on arrival just walking in the door to be met...

Lovely food and great service. Good quality and decent size portions. Always have a lovely meal here.

Food was amazing, very good experience from this lovely rural establishment, massive thankyou to the waitress lily who was so helpfull throughout and delivered such a proffesional job. Will definitely be visiting again. 😊

beautiful setting, beautiful food and such a lovely menu with some really unique specials. service is on the slow side, but they are professional and attend to our needs

An excellent experience from the moment we walked in, looked after by Travis (made my sisters day) and his colleagues. The food was first class. Thank you for making our day

Ordered half a roast chicken with stilton coleslaw and chips. Chicken was fine, chips crispy but coleslaw soft, mushy and no texture, expected crispness and crunch. Meal came with gravy which personally I didn't think went with the meal. The dish would have benefited with...

Our visit to the Leagate spoilt a lovely day spent at the Lincolnshire show. Nice greeting from the staff on arrival and provided good service throughout the meal. The menu was limited and showed little imagination. The chicken dish was very poor in all aspects,...

Very disappointed. We had this place recommended so thought we would come and try it as a treat for Father’s Day. The food was ok, but what I didn’t like is seeing other people around me with bigger portions of the same food that we...

We stayed here for 7 nights. Great staff, very good food. Lovely stay. The bedroom was of a decent size and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was a good size and there was plenty of hot water. Our bedroom was on the ground floor...

Very nice old pub, some nice proper beers rather than lager (which they also have) great beer garden, great staff and fabulous food, well worth a visit👍

I was passing through in my motorhome and stopped for the night. The Inn is from 1542 and the history of the building is very interesting. They have lovely rooms for you to stay in and a restaurant for anyone who wants eat and have...

Incredible Crispy beef with fried rice, plenty of beef, rice and pickled red onions at a great price. I would highly recommend this place for families and friends alike as the beer garden has plenty or room and the pub has a very rich history.

The whole experience was top notch from start to finish. We entered cautiously as we had two rather large dogs but were welcomed as if we were seasoned locals. We were shown to our table by Kyrie who was absolutely outstanding her attentiveness and hospitality...

As a family we have eaten here on numerous occasions over decades. We have always enjoyed the food and found it to be reasonable value for money. We were there last week for lunch, and sadly found it to be very poor value for money....

The Leagate Inn is dog friendly which is why we chose to stay there. We stayed in the beautiful Millennium Suite which has a huge bed (over 7' wide), an ensuite with a double walk in shower and a roll top bath in the bedroom....

What an amazing hotel and you could not ask for more friendlier staff. The full English breakfast was literally the best I’ve ever eaten !! Highly recommend.

The menu left alot to be desired.It was a small menu on an A4 piece of card,it was a very limited menu and 2 items were sold out so made it more limited. My husband and myself had decided before hand that we were going...
