The Lord Burghley in South Kesteven

Interestingly and totally incongruous with establishments such as The Tobie Norris/Patens/The George. That’s the rich pageant that is Stamford. Worryingly, I also saw a neighbour’s son, who is only 17 imbibing alcohol with some of his friends, also undoubtedly under age. Tut tut…

Fab bar. Great outdoor beer garden 👏🏼

A wide variety of beers, wines, spirits and cocktails. If you like sport, there are televisions inside and out. Large beer garden. Always met with a smile by helpful and friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Only went in for a drink in the warm weather. Not a place I would go back to. Toilets are absolutely disgusting. Filthy dirty and no soap to wash hands with.

Great place, off the beaten track with a locals feel, nice to get away from the crowded pubs

Didn't have food or service just an adequate beer bought by a colleague. Very busy with interesting layout.

Good pub nice staff. Strange toilets

Cheapest pub in Stamford, no food serve and all sports in TV

Traditional booza, had a log fire ripping... the smell of the fire tempted us in from the cold..

Rude landlady Won't be back!!!

Lovely pub with friendly staff and a great atmosphere

Excellent pub. One of the few proper pubs left.

Great pub. Good selection of beers and a nice courtyard to enjoy the sunshine. Thoroughly recommend a visit.

Went in for food, but they don't serve food anymore, asked for rexommendation for some where to eat and the bar lady was lovely and recommended another pub. Very polite and lovely to chat too.

Cheap drinks Nice courtyard Good service

Aggressive and rude young barman. The ale is usually good, especially the Landlord, but I won't return as the young man behind the bar pulled a very poor Guinness and refused my request to allow it to settle before finishing it, stating that "I'm from England" and aggressively remonstrating with me for asking for a decent pint. Breathtaking ignorance.

Great “traditional” town centre pub in the heart of Stamford. Very spacious outside area at the rear. Plenty of seething, sport on the tv’s and a dart board!

A lovely old pub with a nice fire. Great beer

Very traditional pub barmaid was very helpful, nice warm fire 🔥

Great place for a social gathering, a good selection of top beers, plenty of rooms and spaces for get togethers of all sizes.

Absolutely amazing atmosphere and great staff

Nice quiet evening with log fire and friendly staff, large beer garden with lighting.

One of my favourite pubs in Stamford. Nice little outside area. Nice and cozy inside. Lovely beer. Happy days

Nice pint of Worthingtons not too expensive

Nice pub, with a lovely courtyard garden

Gone downhill since I last visited, wouldn't be in a hurry to return

Heard a divorce happening in the smoking area. Said he was on dole. Brought a smile to my face. Added to experience. Bit of flavour. What you want in a boozer. Serves a mean pint of cobra too. Unique. Shows spoons up. Back this one to the end. Top quality. Will be back soon.

Went in here for a pint yesterday lunchtime and was immediately made to feel like an intruder. The landlady was talking to 2 or 3 customers who she obviously knew. Otherwise the place was empty and, from the landlady's attitude, that's how she wanted it to stay. Very unfriendly, very unwelcoming, only gets 1 star as 0 doesn't seem to be an option.

Property local pub. With regular classic cask on

A good proper pub , good beer , good service . Always visit when in Stamford

Good selection of real ales, well kept. The inner courtyard is a peaceful place to escape the shopping crowd.

Okay nice old pub very friendly

Always a good pint and a great atmosphere

Great pub. No bull. It’s beer, red, white, spirits, crisps, peanuts. That’s it. Nice fire, good atmosphere. No pretentious stuff like a “wine list”. A proper pub. Decent large, covered heated smoking area with outdoor TV. Reasonable prices. 100% recommended.

always like it in here friendly can mostly always get a seat somewhere

Busy pub on sat evening. Good beer garden. Good service.

Nice place Nice undercover beer garden 😀

Lovely welcoming staff, reasonable prices

Pleasant, low key pub on edge of town centre. Decent choice of ales.

Hey its a rough and ready pub, beer was great as were the staff...

Great service and good prices. Good place to watch the football. Very covid secure

Lovely friendly pub , made to feel very welcome, also dog friendly.

Sat out in the, garden,staff very attentive and friendly.

Great for outside drink, good covid management.

Good rear, covered, courtyard. Friendly staff.

Great pub. Tom and the team were well organized for Covid. Felt safe and clean. Great table service never waiting long for a drink. Nice to have a bit of normality with friends. 🍻

Amazing pub, really friendly staff, great drinks available. Lovely place to come and drink!

Well organised good beer and great for watching sport

Lovely friendly traditional pub.

Working in Stamford and as a stranger a lovely welcome and nice people, would recommend to anyone and a really lovely French bar staff, enjoy

Such a lovely pub. Friendly service, would defiantly go again. They were good at getting my details for track and trace as well as social distancing tables. Would 100% go again.

Nice drink, tables spaced out to allow social distancing, outside space for smoking. Not vigilante with getting people's contacts.

2 out of the 4 ales were like drinking vinegar. Landlord had to change his tampon when I told him.

Local pub for local people. Can get a bit crowded.

A splendid choice of well kept beer. I would recommend the Timothy Taylor.

A good pub and always has a nice choice of beer. Friendly staff

Provided a good pint of ale, not the busiest so makes for a quiet pub for Saturday evening drink

At the very end of Broad Street this pub is a great place for a drink. They have a wide range of ales. Lots of seating. They have a separate area for the sports on television so if you not bothered by sport you can still enjoy a drink with just a hint of noise. There is an outside patio area which in the summer is cool. Great pub great punters.

Place is a bit run-down, and the beer choice isn't the best

Decent pub, good ales and good prices.. I like the garden behind

Friendly but not looked after looking pub

Proper pub atmosphere, good beer, sports on tv, what most 3 could you ask for?

Played with The Money Shot band. Packed with music fans and everyone was dancing, drinking and having fun. Awesome night.

OK if you are looking for Michelin stars ... move on ....BUT for great pub grub at very sensible prices and good real ale ... this is the place.

Nice talk with all the knowledgeable people in the different areas of the house.

Great traditional pub.. but no food..

Good pub, good beers and great atmosphere

Popped in for a quiet drink whilst exploring Stamford. Very friendly. Nice outside area. Away from the main town so nice relaxing place without roudy tourists.

A pub with plenty of character, but a little on the scruffy side, friendly service., did not have anything to eat so cannot make a judgement on the food served,

Popular but couldn't get a seat, so difficult to judge

This was our first time at the Lord Burghley. Really friendly and the food was excellent which was washed down with a lovely Gin & Tonic, would be rude not to.

One of my favourite drinking holes

Low key friendly local pub. Down to earth good value

Reasonably priced. Nice atmosphere

Went in with friends on Friday lunchtime. Roaring fire & a good selection of very well kept ale. Locals & landlady seemed friendly too. We’ll be back.

We visited this establishment whilst on a day trip to Stamford. The place is tastefully decorated and has a great beer garden to the rear (which comes with large brollies and heaters). Food is available at reasonable prices, and although we didn't participate, from the number of orders flying out of the kitchen, it appeared to be popular and plentiful. There is a good selection of bottled and draught beers and lagers. A great place to visit regardless of the time of year!

Beers ok I guess. Not too welcoming I felt. Stopped for one then legged it.

Nice pint of Taylors Landlord. Nice pub with old signs. Well worth a visit

Great pub, great company very recommo!

Nice old Stamford pub in the town 5 real ales good food and a good market on Friday

Good local pub, great range of beers and very nice bar staff

Close to the town centre, there are plenty of ales to choose from. There is a decent sized outdoor area with seating and, as well as the main bar area, there are numerous other lounges of various sizes indoors.

Always an excellent selection of real ales. Friendly atmosphere and pleasant welcoming staff. Good location.

They have got a nice selection of real ales

A tad light on the decor .... but the beer is good ... and the pub grub OK ... the prices for the latter ... very reasonable indeed!!!!. This is the focal point for the anti-trendy in an otherwise ultra trendy Stamford!!! Give it a whirl Darlings!!

My husband wanted to call in due to a recommendation. It's huge inside - split into rooms. There is a good size beer garden and we met a fellow geordie who advised that we use the back gate as a shortcut to another pub we wanted to visit which saved us a longer walk. The prices are great and the atmosphere was friendly.

Called in for a couple of drinks when killing time and found the pub to be very tired and need in of serious loving care. Clearly a traditional "drinkers pub" but the regulars deserve better surroundings. The overall impression was one of neglect. The outdoor space was in need of a good clean and the gents toilet facilities were a step back in time, and smelt as if they had not been cleaned since the sixties. On a positive note they did have good selection of ales at fairly reasonable prices.

Busy pub at the end of Broad Street, Can be a bit noisy at times. Plenty of seats inside and out. Great range of ales on offer and prices much the same as other boozers.

This is a great place to watch the rugby or football when a match is on - there are TVs in most of the rooms and they have a good choice of beers. No food though. Top tip - they have cheap beer on Weds evenings

We enjoyed coming to this pub for a drink that had an interesting choice of drinks for a good price.

Visitamos aquí sentado. El 21 de enero en un primer viaje tiempo a Stamford. Había hecho una lista de las crías a visitar para ale y una comida en uno de ellos. Esta era la segunda pub que visitamos y disfrutamos\una pinta de propietario y la pinta de esb tanto excelente y a un precio muy razonable para dos cervezas normalmente caros. miré el menú y muy sorprendido de lo barato que era. Tenía puré de torta de carne y guisantes, generosas porciones y pastel de mejor y más grande que la mayoría de los otros lugares. cuesta £3. Precio 80 increíbles, esposa tenía una hamburguesa y patatas fritas igualmente buena y la factura era de £7. 70 para las 2 comidas. definitivamente volvería allí, pruébalo tú mismo.

El personal es genial. El pub en sí es grande, con una buena selección de cervezas. Un montón de espacio para comer, enorme jardín exterior.

Went in at lunchtime for the first time since 2014 and the change was both noticeable and welcome! Hope it's the same when I hope to visit Stamford again next April!

On my first visit to Stamford, I expected it to be a bit more traditional than it was, lots of loud bars, with loud people, flashing lights, drinks deals, etc. It was quite a relief to find this place. It had a decent amount of people in here, but they were all after having a nice drink, in a nice atmosphere.The staff were friendly, they had a nice selection of drinks and it was a nice place to sink a couple of pints. The beer garden looks pretty good, although the weather kept us indoors on this occasion.I'll bear this place in mind if I find myself back in the area.

I frequent this pub occasionally with friends. It is a friendly, welcoming venue which is popular with locals. There is live music played on most Saturdays.

Loud, bit of a working mans club which, is a shame because it's a lovely old pub. There was a 50th birthday party going on and lots of creepy drunk old men. Will not be going back and would not recommend unless you are a local then at a push.

A good place for a pint at the east end of Broad Street. It sells good beer and there was a nice atmosphere last time I was in when visiting Stamford. Good place to take a break when at the market on a Friday.

A real British pub with good beer and pub games like darts. None of this arty farty bistro rubbish that so many pubs seem to turning into nowadays. There is an undercover area for those who want to puff while they drink.

This is an excellent place for good quality food and drink and quite reasonable too.Customers are greeted by a huge real fire on entry and there are many different nooks and crannies at which to take a table. On the downside, was one of the two ladies serving behind the bar who seemed to object to me asking for a slice of lemon or lime in my coke. When paying, the same lady gave me my change and said "there you go" which unfortunately is quite common these days but it would have been much better if she had said a simple "thank you" so that I knew she appreciated my custom.

Nice Staff. Cheap Beer. Good garden. Shows rugby....what more could you want from a local pub in Stamford!
