The Loco Pub and Restaurant in North Lincolnshire

The restaurant at the Loco is now called Saffron Indian Restaurant and it is now getting rather popular around here! There are several positives about this setup. The food is great, the staff are great and the restaurant is attached to a local pub which is also great. The way the restaurant blends with the pub is quite unique and we should really try to get behind the venture as it just works!

Great local with added bonus of traditional curry restaurant

Much better than it looks from the outside.

Good food and service, will def. go back

Great pub, rooms are good and great breakfast👍

I went in to order an Indian takeaway from the restaurant Saffron on to one side of the Loco, I nipped through to the loco for a pint while I was waiting for my food. What a fantastic atmosphere. Great old fashioned local type pub. I'm relatively new Back to the area after living away from the isle for some years. Pint was great at a decent price and food was excellent. Staff in restaurant and bar very friendly. We will be back very soon

Great food excellent service. We will be back

Had a meal at the saffron indian and Bangladesh restaurant based in the loco it was fabulous meal

Absolutely fantastic Indian food - well seasoned and perfectly spiced. An incredible selection of dishes. Really nice atmosphere and great staff. Highly recommend getting a meal at the Loco. We'll definitely be going back regularly to work through the extensive menu!

Really friendly staff and busy atmosphere

Brilliant place to visit and the Pizzas are absolutely amazing! Highly recommend

The host Ziggy was very obliging and friendly.

Awesome friendly pub. Hosts are so welcoming. Large selection of drinks and the pizza made by Ziggy is to die for!

Really lovely staff and friendly locals, the pizzas were really good and the atmosphere is great, will definitely visit again.

Great village pub with a nice friendly atmosphere. Siggy the landlord is always welcoming and I dare not even try to work out how many years he has been there maintaining a high standard . Back in a few weeks for a pool final so see you again soon .

Friendly, good food and service

The Loco did good pizzas and is full of local history pictures and paintings as well as and comfy sofas

Great pizzas served in this pub

Superb place,,rooms are adequate,,breakfast is to die for,,,Karen and zig are fantastic hosts,,,you must try their pizzas in the evening!! Absolutely superb!!! The locals in the pub are really so friendly too,,we will definately be going back,,couldn't do enough for us!!! 100% definitely worth a visit,,nice village,,very quiet but has convenience stores nearby,,

Good beer tasty Pizza good company.

How this place has the gall to have a sign outside calling itself a restaurant is beyond me. They serve one thing ; pizza - and pretty average pizza at that - in a room that is bare and totally devoid of any comfort or atmosphere. There are no desserts and when I asked for coffee I got a cup of dishwater. The bar seems pretty soulless too. The staff are very pleasant but that’s the only good thing I can say.

Fantastic place to stay, lovely rooms and great hosts. Friendly, clean, safe place to stay. Highly recommended

Quality village pub. Friendly staff,locals and dogs

Wonderful couple, nothing is too much trouble. Huge fresh breakfast and the pizzas are gorgeous. Room was so clean, bathroom was spotless. Had everything I needed for a really comfortable stay. Thanks Ziggy and Karen. Appreciate your hospitality.

Lovely 😍 pizza. Two local beers. Will call again.

Great stay, fantastic stone oven pizza and beer. Would recommend for anyone looking for some freindly local accommodation.

Absolutely delightful place. Ziggy and Karen are amazing. They love their place and they do everything for their guests and customers. Hidden gem, it truly is. Proper pizza, and they also do other specials. All you need really. Great place.

Nice real ale and home made pizza

Friendly pub with good selection of beers

What a fantastic owner!! I never met him before but when phoning for a room in an emergency he went above and beyond expectations. He stayed up all night and waited for us to get there and collect the keys and was very warm and welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. I cant express my gratitude for him. Thank you very much. Will definitely be staying there again and letting everyone know about him.

Absolutely amazing place with the kindest most friendly people you will ever meet! Nothing is too much for this couple and home made pizza,s made here too which are absolutely gorgeous! I would put more stars if I could 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😀😀😀😀😀😀😀🥰🥰🥰

A very enjoyable meal and friendly staff 😊

Excellent quality and good food 👌

Thank you for a pleasant stay very friendly atmosphere.I will return and recommend. Lovely breakfast and very nice pizza's 👌.

Absolutely beautiful pizzas great staff will be going back

We booked for a 1 night stay and were met by a very friendly landlord. The room was clean and presentable, breakfast excellent and room rates perhaps a little lower than they should be. If the occasion arose to re-visit this area we would be happy to book again.

Great pizza as its a proper woodfired oven, good fresh beer as the landlord knows how to keep a good celler, all in a safe pandemic social distancing surroundings unlike many!!

Happened upon this pub / b&b / restaurant by chance. Very pleasantly surprised! Room I used was clean, excellent air con which I loved, and the bathroom very clean too. No shower gel provided but with 2 mini soap bars it was more than adequate and possibly an environmentally positive decision by the owners. A number of guest beers on tap, fantastically friendly staff, and the locals were good for a chinwag too. The pizzas are lovely; I’m now here for 3 nights so might need to find an alternative for night 3 as I don’t think I can face pizza again, which is a shame. The cooked breakfast is excellent. Served freshly made with very generous portions, what wasn’t there to like? Lovely place, not busy, great staff, great beer, good food!

My wife and I came here out of the blue as we had heard the wood fired pizza is to die for! We were not disappointed! The missus had pepperoni and I had the spicy meaty one. And a garlic bread on the side! Absolutely delicious! Will be coming again!

We will be opening on Wednesday 27th May

That was without doubt the best pizza I've ever had delivered, thank you!! Woodfired pizza, delicious cheese and really fresh ingredients. Can't praise loco enough. In these strange times, I'm glad people have ingenuity. I had to have a slice before o sent below picture 👍👍👍

The pub is currently closed but the pizza restaurant is open for take-away and local delivery. You will not find a more authentic Italian pizza anywhere. Good fresh simple ingredients cooked to perfection in a wood fired pizza oven. Magnificent. Pizza lovers could not ask for more.

Terrible pizzas cheap ingredients and after given time for collection they were half an hour late so I was stood in cold waiting. Not worth the. £15.00 for two small pizzas that had no taste give it a miss.

Great pub great landlord really recommend

Warm welcome, good beer and excellent accommodation. Already a great place to visit which will get even better when the pizza restaurant opens in a few weeks.

Great to have Owners back. Lovely decor.Good selection of drinks especially Gin.

It's great pub land and lady very special people and customers are very friendly to say they don't know ut but they make you feel at home.

Ziggy is ace, I like his grey hair, he is haxeys james brown. Lovely vibe top staff, highly recommended and very reasonably priced.

This is a must visit. Cracking pub with a great landlord. Recently refurbished but in keeping.

Terrible service, drunk people,rude, I do not recommend this place , terrible food, it takes a long time for service ...

Received a warm welcome from both the landlord and other customers. Hope its not to long before the restaurant is open

Friendly mine host. Well refurbished. Looking forward to returning soon

Such a welcoming atmosphere. Well frequented by Haxey residents. I will try the restaurant when it opens later this month. Lovely friendly staff, will certainly be back

Check in at 15.00 on website, email said check-in at 16.00. Arrival time 17.00 to be told by a note stuck to the window that check in now 18.00. Not impressed! However, all you need to know is go into the pub next door. The Duke William I think? Make yourself known to the bar staff and they will let you in to The Loco. Without this info you could be waiting outside till 18.00!

Lovely little village pub/motel, great atmosphere and warm accommodating staff ☺

This place is not loved by its owner. Not a single pool cue is useable, the pool table is wonky and rarely returns balls as it should.... if you're one of 5 regulars perched at the bar then you'll be fine if not just pass this one (but maybe not to the Duke William as it has the same owner apparently.. needs confirming). The Carpenters at Westwood Side was better equiped to provide a week night 'down the boozer' Please give this establishment a bit of love starting with the basics. I mean no ill will I'm just being honest.. :)

Novelty pub worth a visit. We will be going back for sure.

Just on our way back home from a 2 night stay at The Loco. We went on a wowcher deal. We'd read the previous reviews but that didn't put us offWe stayed in a small but very clean and well presented room. TV, plenty of tea and coffee, very large walk in the shower. What more do you want! The plus for me was a lift to get to our first floor room ( I have mobility issue's )Yes check in is at 5 but once you've checked in you can come and go as you please:)Meals are eaten at the Duke Windsor literally next door.We had the meal deal on our first night (part of the wowcher deal) an enjoyable bottle of Hardys red wine, lasagne chips and peas for me,steak pie, peas and chips for my husband We managed to find room for dessert, hot chocolate fudge cake for hubby and hot apple pie and custard for me (we only paid £5.90 for both of these - unbelievable value for money)We had a meal on the second night. Once again great value,lots of it and very tasty.Breakfast wasn't part of the deal but at only £6 a head we opted for this as well. We weren't disappointed. As much tea and coffee as you want. Freshly cooked full English breakfast. We were more than satisfied. Praise must go to the young waitresses who looked after us both nights.Won't hesitate to stay here again.

Great place great prices very friendly staff

Bedrooms are average not cleened properly spiders web all over flys in light shade no hot water in mornings shower rail was broken , We have a meal as a part of the deal from woucher and it was plain and reheated food. This was advertised as a romantic stay which its defiantly not

The food in the restaurant is amazing and the service is incredible. Wouldn't change anything

Very poor bar staff; the basics were missing.

Comfy bed, easy to find i had no light in the bathroom which wasnt put right. Carpet full of stains. Could do better.

Lovely room & new bathroom. No food. It is linked with the Duke William next door where you eat.

Stayed for 2 nights with a main meal for one night of our stay as part of a internet deal with living social. The room we stayed in was above the pub, but as the pub is next to a sister pub the loco pub is not busy and only opened for a few hours each evening,so after 10.30 pm it's all locked up which means you are in your room above an empty pub all night. Had to go to sister pub about 100 yards away for are meal but as it was a Sunday all that was offered was a carvary not the best I have ever had. Sister pub had lovely chalets on site but was told that the loco pub was only used for the internet deals on wowher & living social. The room we stayed in was a good size with comfortable bed but just need a lot of TLC some new bedding & new pillows also the main stairway to the rooms needed a good hovering all in could be a lot better.

5 pm check in rather late, When booked was told evening meal would be in the Italian restaurant adjoining, this didnt happen as it was closed because the chef had left so had to eat in pub Duke Wellington nearby. ! We thought the rate included breakfast but found out too late it was an extra charge. The room was very clean and newly furnished, however so small was cluttered with the furniture and d/bed was against the wall making it difficult getting in and out, This should have been a single room with a single bed (7) . We did have a lovely heater so was warm all evening..

Simple lodging, very affordable, close to Doncaster and Epworth with very nice rooms.

We stopped here on a wowcher deal it said check in at 1400 but could not check in till 1700 as nobody there but the pub next door was open so not bothered we where there for a meal anyway The meal was very nice and the drinks very reasonable we had a great time with the locals Oh and the room was very clean and with free wifi will go again

Here for th hood very busy but a great laugh

Lovely accommodation,great staff,good food and value for money.

Nice weekend stay. Very small room but clean. Heating system and TV a bit outdated but didn't spoil the stay

A bit confusing to start as The Loco accommodation seems to be an annex for the Duke William pub next door and the Loco pub separate business. Note in window of Loco says 4pm arrive with a number if locked. When number rang at 4.15pm landlord of the next door pub answered and said 5pm as nobody in Loco until then. Room ok but bathroom not heated so had to run shower to warm it up in the morning. Welcome fine food ok (at Duke William) breakfast fine £6 each. Nice village

Good value and cheap and cheerful place to stop over. Could need a little technical in the room we stopped in, but didn't cause any problems and would return.

We recently visited the loco on a wowcher deal. The room was simple but perfectly clean with a comfortable bed. The staff couldn't do enough for us and made us very welcome. The location was perfect with lovely country pubs all within walking distance. The only slight letdown was the wine included in the deal which was a British 8% white wine but for the price we paid the value was fantastic, the prices in the pub were more than reasonable. We had a lovely weekend and will definitely visit again, thank you.

We recently went on this Wowcher deal and were extremely disappointed with the description of it.

we stayed at the Loco as we were going racing at Doncaster racing for the St Leger meeting the Loco is just the place to stay just a few miles from the track so no hustle or bustle

If you stay at the loco, feed next door. Good food good drink, my husband said the beer was really good. So that is The Duke Wiiliam.

Stayed here with a Wowcher deal, room small but comfortable, thank heavens for air con as the window barely opened, lots of cobwebs. Our meal was served in the pub up the road, for which we waited 40 mins for, fish & baked potato with mushy peas, lasagne & salad, which you helped yourself to, heaven help them if they had been busy, 8 people in when we ordered, food was OK for what we paid including wine. Miserable staff in the restaurant but very pleasant/friendly man in the Loco.

We booked in for just the one night. We had a lovely room which was small but had everything we needed, everything in it appeared to be new. The bathroom too seemed to have been recently done and had a lovely big shower cubicle. Everything seemed to be clean.The pub is owned by the same person who owns the Duke William pub and motel next door. The Loco doesn't have a car park so we were told to use the one next door, we also had to go there for our meals. It was lovely weather when we were there and was surprised to find we had air conditioning in the room. Going next door for meals in bad weather may not be as pleasant.Our only complaint is that when I booked the room I asked what time I could check in and was told from 2pm but the pub doesn't open until 4pm so if we got there between 2 and 4 to ring the mobile number and we would be let in. However, this didn't happen, we rang the mobile which wasn't answered so we left a message but our call wasn't returned We were sitting in the car park ringing the 2 numbers but to no avail. We were eventually let in just after 4pm. The staff in both pubs were lovely and if I'd been told at the start we couldn't check in until 4pm then that wouldn't have been a problem, but we resented our wasted couple of hours. I would stay there again but not turn up until 4pm.

Food excellent. Especially recommend new Zealand muscles and garlic mushrooms for starters. The house wine is very pleasant too.

Myself and my partner booked this as a stop off on our way home from a concert, the offer was a night stay with a meal and a bottle of wine.We got there just before 4pm and note said there would be no one there till 4pm but a phone number if you wanted to call, as it wasn't long to wait we didn't bother. We got a warm welcome and we were shown to a room which was room 6 which was nice with a nice bathroom, the floor was creaky as an earlier review said but it was no problem.We were given a voucher to have our meal in the pub next door which was a bit disappointing as the menu for the Loco looked very nice but having looked at the menu for the Duke of William we thought it looked quite nice as well. When we left the hotel the sign advertising the restaurant in the loco was outside so I presume it is still open. We sat down in the Duke of William and given menus but as soon as the waitress seen our voucher she took them off us and said we had to use a different menu. The new menu didn't even contain as many options as their two for £12 menu and the food was decidedly average, my partner got up to get salad from the salad bar and there was not much left and she was told no more was coming out. We did feel like second class citizens Had we been offered the normal menu for a reasonable extra payment we would have took it, they had even run out of fish and chips. It was a very misleading offer and I would not do it again. Also when we left there was no one to leave the key with and we had not been told what to do with it, we had to leave it in the room.

Have eaten here 3 times and all 3 times the food and service has been excellent reasonable prices and not a long wait for food . We have also had a takeaway pizza it was very tasty and the garlic bread is amazing !!

What can we say, other than absolutely fantastic hospitality. From the moment we arrived at the Loco. Nothing was to much for any of the staff. Room was immaculate and beautifully laid out. We could not have asked for a more friendly welcome, every minute of our stay was fantastic. The food at the Duke was amazingly good. The service was impeccable, we enjoyed our stay and adventures that much, we booked another weekend before we even left to come home.Jamie and Andy thanks for making us feel right at home. See you all in August.Highly recommended and beautiful village Jenny & Fran Whetstone

I cannot fault the accomadation our room in room 2 was really nice we went for one night on a wowcher deal it included evening meal but it was at the other pub they owned just 2 mins down the road which wasn't a problem to us but the food was awfull I got chicken well it was cooked in black oil and tasted horrible I left it and the mushrooms were over cooked we did pay for a starter good job I had pate and hot toast which was nice the free bottle of wine was a really nice tasty rose wine I wish now I paid for a differant dish it was as if the free meal in the deal was well below standard wouldn't go there again

Had a one night stay including meal- room was lovely very compact, staff extremely friendly and knowledgeable about local events, trip comprised access two hotels and restaurants, we chose the carvery which was the best ice sampled in ages! Would definitely revisit, excellent value for money.

We booked for a 2 night stay at the loco haxey. We had to ring someone to let us in. We were shown to our room which was very small with stained carpet on the floor. We were left 2 spare pillows without pillow cases. We were informed we would have to eat dinner and breakfast at the pub next door. The pub food was very good. The people friendly. We did not stay for the 2 nights we had booked in for we left the next morning after breakfast. Very disappointing.

We have been eating at Casa Italia for a while now and have not EVER been disappointed! The food is always outstanding (honestly best pizza I've ever had in this country and the lasagne is gorgeous!) Rocco never ceases to impress and amaze us with his obvious love for, and zest for, cooking! We're literally welcomed like family! Rocco and Jola are amazing with our children and there are toys to keep the little ones entertained (they're also catered for fantastically well). Beautiful food, beautiful people! We will continue to eat there over other eateries because the food is superb, the welcome and hosting/service is warm and friendly and it is reasonably priced to boot!

Unfortunate experience, although we had heard good reports about this place we were disappointed on the night we went.

Fantastic! Me and my family visited on a bank holiday Sunday. The chef and waitress could have not done more for is. They were both exceptionally nice to my children and made them feel very welcome. The food was outstanding and the service exquisite. Highly recommend. Please go and try. I will be visiting again very soon.

Friendly chef & staff but the food was such a disappointment. Steaks that looked insipid and were very fatty, watery steak sauces, pasta that tasted shop bought, (and that's all it tasted of). No steak knives, fresh pepper, can't serve you drinks so you have to go queue in the busy rowdy pub. Some of this is minor really but if your looking for a nice restaurant with good food this isn't the place unfortunately. Young staff who don't seem to have been trained properly - very polite and I won't fault them but fetching out "soup" when it was the steak sauces and just shrugging their shoulders when we corrected them (which we only did because we needed the sauces!!) Gave us a laugh at least (and them!!). Good location, nice size restaurant so some positives just need to up the standard on the food please! Again, very friendly service, they were more than happy to accommodate us fetching a birthday cake & even brought out a guitar to sing happy birthday which was a lovely touch. Such a mixed night!! I hope they improve as I love Italian and would like to go back.

Excellent food - great specials, caring and considerate service what more can I say. We have been returning customers since it first opened and have never been disappointed. However be aware its a small restaurant with limited staff. Rocco is an excellent chef and everything is cooked to order from Pizza/pasta to steaks fish etc. It may not be the fastest service on the planet but if you want an excellent meal in comfortable and cosy surroundings its heartily recommended. The only shock we had is the BILL we can't believe how they do it for the price.

The menu is not extensive, but then again why should it when the food is this good. Rocco is a very good chef and produces some excellent and original food. Try the godfather pizza, its fantastic, as are the many ravioli and other pasta dishes on the menu or the specials board.it does get busy at the weekend, but you can normally walk in during the week.excellent value and good authentic Italian cuisine!!

As per above, we rang through for a table and were told that we could be accomadated only to be told once we got there this was not possible due to a large party booking. Wont be trying again.
