The Marquis of Granby in North Kesteven

Great service and very friendly great food

Dropped on this pub on the way to our holiday destination as we needed some lunch. Got a warm welcome and really nice ‘snack’ food. I had jacket potato with bolognaise which was plentiful and tasted lovely, whilst my friends had a variety of hot sandwiches. Well priced and not a long wait. Would recommend.

Great food, good portions, very homely & welcoming. We had fish & chips (mash for me yey!) and it was so fresh and tasty, we cannot wait to try different dishes from the menu :)

Superb portion of very good food, lovely staff. We ate in the bar, just lacking a little in the decor, however that doesn't take away from the food and service. Recommended.

Obviously fine dining not available in Wellingore. Being gluten free my choices were limited but i had 'chicken bacon and stilton'. My husband fish pie. Mine was a flattened chicken breast with two pieces of bacon on top accompanied by a strange white sauce with vague cheese flavour, a basket of chips and tinned peas and tasteless carrots. My husbands fish pie was Ok but came with extra mash on the side and same tinned peas!?!? Desserts were ice cream for me-OK and bread and butter pudding for husband which was enormous, boiling hot and lots of fruit {best part of dinner}. There was a strange smell throughout pub. Not one I will return to.

Nice and friendly little pub that serves food and has rooms. We stayed in their newly refurbished room and had a lovely time. Great food too. Dog friendly!

Tina and Nikki are outstanding hosts, I wouldn't stay anywhere else now.

Nice friendly pub dog 🐕 friendly aswell

Seen the Friday special of Fish and Chips for two people at £24 and had to try it out, we were well satisfied , nice meal , good service , great pint , and no washing up to bother about.

Called in after a walk and asked about bringing a larger group. Nothing it too much trouble for this pub. Wood fire was a very welcoming sight.

Fantastic food couldn't fault any of it (the liver was melt in the mouth)in a lovely comfortable place with open fires, landlady's really nice, would definitely recommend

Had a nice meal here at a good price, dog friendly and friendly staff 😋

We visited 'on spec'. We were welcomed and taken to a table and ordered drinks. The Wainwright bitter was well kept, and the Sauvignon Blanc was of good quality. For main course we had Hunter's chicken and lambs' liver and bacon. Both dishes were good and hot and served with numerous veg and chips - overall very delicious. The staff added character to the establishment to complete our very enjoyable visit. Will certainly revisit.

I was over for the weekend and had dinner and drinks a few nights. Food was amazing and staff so friendly. I loved the cozy atmosphere, I would highly recommend. Thank you Tina

Stopoed off here for a meal on our way to our holiday destination great meal lovely staff highly recommend this place

On meeting Nicki and Tina, whilst on my dog walking rounds, they were so nice and kind. We have been taking our weimaraner there regularly and have a meal. The most welcoming pub and friendly atmosphere. I grew in wellingore, so am so pleased to see the Marquus alive xxx

Absolutely fantastic food, lovely friendly landladies and made to feel very welcome and great banter and definitely visit again

We had a lovely roast dinner today, our food was delicious and there was so much, including a massive jug of gravy….! We were very well looked after and we were made extremely welcome by the owners, their beautiful dog ‘Jess’ and the locals. We will definitely return to try some other dishes as there was so much choice 😊

Great welcome, great beer and good food. A most welcome stop off on route from Coventry to Woodall Spa.

They had a bad day at the office !!

The food was excellent and came out piping hot. The service also very good. All very obliging and made our visit very enjoyable.

brilliant meal , amazing service

Went for Sunday Lunch, just excellent! All made fresh, service great. Good chat, beer is well looked after. Nicki and Tina do a fab job. Thanks for a great afternoon Steve and Jan

Lovely pub run by lovely people.

Just starting up again landladies doing well catering on the up and very friendly atmosphere

Went for Sunday Lunch today. Four of us and I'm Gluten free. Nothing was too much trouble. Tina and Nicki went out of their way to make sure we had everything we wanted. They certainly know the food their fabulous chef is serving. Excellent roast sourced locally. Cooked to perfection. Served in a warm happy atmosphere. Such a lovely traditional quaint pub. We love it.

Lovely meal here recently with our two dogs. Made to feel very welcome. Great food and good choice. Will definitely be back and would recommend.

We had a fish and chips take away and i have to say we haven’t had fish and chips that good for a long time looking forward to are next meal from the marquis

Wonderful food, wonderful atmosphere and run by wonderful people. Really good value and huge kids portions. Highly recommended

Great atmosphere. Amazing food and value for money. Great decor. Best pie i have had in years A++++++ will def recommend and come back

Very friendly couple, pub clean tidy ,lots tables outside, very good Sunday lunch, good assortment of beers, cider, lager

Very good service and excellent company Worth a visit.

I booked a table for 20:30hrs on 19th September 2020, I even had an email confirming the booking, My wife and I drove from Lincoln and arrived at the establishment at 20:25 precisely only to find the place closed and in darkness, I phoned and left a message but they didn't even have the decency to call me back

Traditional pub, with the owners trying to deliver classic meals you'd expect from a village pub.... This is a great little find... With staff willing to chat and cheer you on your way...

The take away service is a great boon to retired disabled couples. Gives us a good hot meal every time.

First the plus... we asked for them to arrange a birthday cake for us and the cake they sourced was both beautiful to look at and tasted great. Really lovely! The booking was to celebrate an 80th birthday as the birthday girl has eaten here for the last several decades and the food has always been to a great standard. However both service and food was poor. There was only one other table in the restaurant section we were in so it wasn’t overly busy. We booked for 7 but was still waiting for main meals at 8.40. Everything was painfully slow. Several waitresses on but they paid very little attention to the table as they were often chatting and on phones. We had to keep asking if we could please order drinks etc The starters came out but the staff didn’t know what they were. When asked who it was for...we asked what was on the plate so we could point them to the right person.. they said they didn’t know! Two of the starters went back for being cold. They have stuffed squid on the menu so we asked what it was stuffed with... they said ‘nothing’. My husband had finished his main meal by the time the last ones were served. The lamb

Excellent food, well presented and not stingy portions. We would definitely recommend it, and hopefully we will be there for a car very next time

Fabulous village pub, friendly staff quick service and the Sunday Carvery with the wonderful gravy made with the meat juices is to die for...! We'll be back👍

lovely staff all polite,smiles , and helpful.meal not very tasty,mash poor,veg not to our liking.very thin gravy. we have had a lot better elsewhere.

Whilst visiting the area we phoned to ask if they served food all day, the lady said up until 300 but would happily serve us at 3. The lunch menu was small but had a good choice. They had run out of scampi but an alternative was ordered. All meals were freshly cooked and looked and tasted fine. The fish was fab as was the lasagne and the baguette was also ok. Desserts were ordered, including cheesecake. When they came again were ok but the cheesecake although very well presented was 2 tiny cheesecakes, only just over an inch in diameter, more for a child than an adult. We will certainly return but maybe skip the cheesecake.

This was the worst experience myself and husband went through..This being our first visit to this pub. 29th September 2018.A Saturday night at 19.30..bar not busy restaurant busyish but not overall packed,we asked to young bar staff for a table as we wished to order a meal we were taken into a back room which was sparse and unwelcoming we felt this was going to be a huge mistake as the young girl could not get 2 simple drinks we had ordered correctly one being half a lager and lime(with a straw!!) the other a Becks Blue...eventually half a lager came no straw then came with an ordinary Becks not non alcoholic..we asked for the Becks blue the girl said they had none so why offer someone an alcoholic drink??? We then asked for a menu to our delight a scrap bit off paper was handed not 2 even so my partner could have one but the menu was for Sunday lunches!!!...We decided not to dine as I commented to the inexperienced staff that we felt this was going to be a huge mess up and mistake dining...Tried to pay for the 2 drinks young lad had problems counting couldn't even tell us what the drinks bill was before taking our money but to get change from a £20 note is another story...we decided to book a table to next village we often dine and had a very pleasant and professional service!!...The owners or landlords should never leave 2 inexperienced bar staff very bad experience..never again

A very warm and friendly welcome was the first thing we noticed, the room was excellent the meals brilliant, you would have to be very picky to find fault. We chose this b&b as the price seemed reasonable and certainly was not expecting the warm greeting and top notch food. The staff were very obliging and kind and a credit to the owners, you can guarantee if we have ever to visit the area again this would be our first choice. Thanks to all.

I stay very rarely in the UK and only normally review my accommodation when semi back packing around the world (I am 63) as you can pick up so much good information from Tripadvisor, so I like to try and help others. I am only doing this review because Pauline the landlady was a lovely lady, and made a gentle hint when I was talking to another TR club member staying at The Marquis of Granby about last year’s accommodation, at TR Malvern which I did not review, but was very good. I did not know if I was going to the TR Register car club at Lincoln show ground so did very little research beforehand, but I thought what accommodation I did find was expensive. I did not find this accommodation, I had booked somewhere else with Hotels.com very late, despite phoning that accommodation and told all was good, the next day Hotels.com told me it was double booked, and would find me somewhere else and they would pay any extra cost. I will leave the cost of the room up to you to judge, but it was lower than most others I could find. I would have to agree the room was quiet dated as was the bathroom, very often the case in this price range, I know Paul and Pauline wont to update when money allows, being a retired carpenter I know how expensive this is and they have only been there 2 years. The bar and restaurant areas where nice and comfortable The room is only a part of the experience. First I won’t clean sheets they were spotlessly white and you could smell how clean they were, hot water loads of it. The 2 young barmaids/waitresses were lovely and very helpful, the same with the young lady chef who cooked me a fantastic steak and ale pie, I have never had so much meat in a pie before, I was pleased to be able to tell her in person. Saturday morning Pauline cooked me a lovely breakfast, and Paul did the same Sunday. I only won’t to sleep in the room nothing else. This is a lovely village. As you can tell I would happily stay there again.

Family outing to the Marquis of Granby. Sirloin steak and rib-eye steak and a scampi were the choices for main course. The steaks were first rate and the presentation and service were second to none. First visit to this place since the arrival of new chef Sandra, who came out personalyy to see us and get feedback - we will definately be returning very soon and spreading the word. Some great dishes on the menu which we can't wait to try out! 5 stars from us!

Following a recommendation from a friend who is a Wellingore local my partner and I decided to choose this venue for our evening meal this evening travelling from Sleaford. We wish we never bothered!! We were seated to our table and left. We waited approx. 25 minutes before my partner had gone to the bar for his 2nd pint where he asked if someone was available to take our food order. We sat and watched as other couples were served and offered drinks as we were being ignored. My partner went and ordered his third pint, still no food. 40 minutes after placing our order we still had not received our meals and therefore left. We are extremely disappointed that we had a wasted journey and will certainly not be recommending this venue to anyone in the future. We arrived back in Sleaford and thoroughly enjoyed a meal at the Carre Arms instead. We will not be returning to Wellingore

we had a evening meal in this pub which was brilliant good services and very clean place the beer choose was brill

Food average, person taking the order didn't listen and I end up with cooked pineapple on my gammon (had requested this be left off), my friend was given a dirty fork, my glass had someone else's lipstick on and there were no napkins on the table or given by staff. One of the staff was smoking outside and the smell of cigarette smoked wafted into the dining area, as a person with asthma and given that one of my triggers is cigarette smoke this was not a brilliant thing for them to do. Will not return.

Fuimos a la noche griega, que realmente disfrutamos. La comida era deliciosa, verduras frescas, patatas encantador y delicioso asado de cordero y tierna. Realmente lo disfruté. Era agradable tener la música griega en el fondo, ya que nos hicieron sentir como en vacaciones. Este lugar es una verdadera joya, escondido en un pueblo precioso, rodeado de un paisaje espectacular. Tienen cama y desayuno, lo que sería genial para aquellos que desean pasar unas vacaciones para explorar la hermosa, Lincolnshire. Los senderistas y ciclistas podría tener un gran tiempo aquí. No está demasiado lejos de la ciudad de Lincoln, para hacer unas compras y visitas históricas. Sin duda volveremos de nuevo.

Fuimos a ver la banda tocando aquí una noche de sábado y aprovechó la oportunidad para probar el Steak & wine 30 libras para dos. Buena botella de red incluido y la comida era muy buena, el tamaño de las porciones bien preparado y generoso. Podría haber sido un poco ruidoso si no esperábamos música y el restaurante era un poco frío sin el fuego ardiente, pero pronto se calentó después en el bar Pic :) hay una agradable zona de jardín para el verano, así que volveré a probar más!

we called in for a meal and were made more than welcome

La habitación estaba impecable, como era el bar y el restaurante, nos tomamos el desayuno, lo cual era genial y más que suficiente para llenar por el día, el bar y los precios de las comidas son buenas para este tipo de lugar, el anfitrión era encantador definitivamente regresaremos.

Fuimos allí con mi cuñado y su esposa para Nochevieja, que han sido varias veces, pero esta fue nuestra primera vez en muchos años. No nos decepcionó, la bienvenida fue cálida, y la comida era excelente. Todos Filetes de costilla de gas y yo como el mío casi azul, no hay un pedazo de no podía comer. Sin duda volveremos!

Disfrutamos de una velada encantadora en un grupo grande de tener la Navidad especial. No nos decepcionó, la comida era estupenda, grandes porciones de pavo bien preparado con guarnición. El personal era amable y eficiente. Los nuevos propietarios han decorado y bien decoradas y sin duda volveré. Gracias

Primera visita no me decepcionó, y sin duda volveremos. Estupenda comida casera, la carne asada era precioso y el personal muy amable. No podemos esperar a volver.

Popped in for early dinner on a Friday. All redecorated and a fire in the hearth. We ordered the sharing platter for 2...massive. Italian meats, olives, calamari, bread mayo salad. Absolutely lovely. Mains (just about had room!) trio of sausage (different types) and ribs. Nice meal in a lovely pub. Will go back.

Visited on Sunday 2nd October for roast dinner. We both had the roast pork with all the trimmings. The crackling was light and melt in the mouth crispy. No broken teeth. Meat tender, vegetables and potatoes good. Roast potatoes could have done with 10 more minutes but still ok. A large party had been at the restaurant that afternoon but the chef and staff coped admirably. Excellent first impression. Lovely friendly atmosphere. Will definitely go again. Congratulations to hosts Paul and Pauline for pulling the pub back on its feet

Great honest food, beer and service with a real friendly family feel. The kitchen and staff did a great job serving our dining room filling, hungry party with an excellent Sunday lunch. Good choices for starter, main and desert. I had the beef which was tender and perfectly pink - not an easy thing to do when serving the whole dining room in one go and others often don't achieve this when just serving one table at a time. Kids had chicken which was moist and delicious with generous helpings all round. Others had pork or salmon but they didn't want to share! Chocolate fudge cake, apple pie and custard, lemon cheesecake were an ideal finish.

Recently visited the Marquis of Granby in Wellingore for a meal. Nice to be seated in a separate restaurant area. The menu is varied and there are specials to choose from as well. The food was very nice, both in taste and presentation and, to top it off, the very palatable house rose wine was £3.50 for a 250ml glass. We have already booked for their Christmas menu in December. Well done the Marquis of Granby.

Visited the pub with my partner and parents, we all live in the near by area so its lovely to have a welcoming well kept village pub on our door step. My parents have visited before and had a really good meal so I was keen to see what the newly renovated Marquis would be like. The new owners have done a splendid job of bringing life and character back into the old pub. The land lady who served us throughout the evening was most hospitable and clearly cared a great deal about customer service and attention to detail. The food itself was to high standard for a village pub, I had the steak which was cooked to perfection and the Stilton sauce was excellent. The sticky toffee pudding was spot on and the custard that accompanied had an excellent consistency. I am pleased to say everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals and I know we will be calling back again in the near future.

Lovely warm welcome excellent food and drinks child and dog friendly beer garden is a suntrap recent ongoing refurb and real log fire.Definitely visit again.

13 of us visited the Marquis today (22/9/2016) and had a most enjoyable lunch, the food was v good, the staff friendly, the service good and the presentation v good (tablecloths and proper napkins which is nice change!). If this is their usual standard I would certainly recommend it.

First time visit to the Marquis on a Friday night to try out the 2 for £12 menu in replacement of the 2 for £10 chain restaurant we usually visit, we thought it would be good to try somewhere new and support a smaller, local growing pub. I was very disappointed to find that the 2 for £12 menu was purely fish. And as someone who does not eat fish, and only eats meat at a push thought that this was a bit unfair for vegetarians who do not eat fish as it seems that their needs weren't being included in the deal, and that they were somewhat being penalised and charged extra to order from the other menu. The regular menu was okay, but not that much variety. However I can say that the food that I received was very lovely, and of a good quality! The only thing I could suggest is that it might have been nice to have a salad garnish with my burger as opposed to just burger and chips. Overall, it was a really nice welcoming location for a cosy pub meal but it would be very difficult to make this my regular Friday night outing because the variety is so limited. I appreciate that the pub is newly reopened and they have a lot more to do, so hopefully I will be able to visit again and see what changes have been made!

Enjoyable evening meal yesterday at The Marquis of Granby Wellingore . Great atmosphere in the pub dinning room . Nice to see this historic Lincolnshire pub up and running again

Roast beef excellent. You don't leave hungry. There has been a lot if effort put in by the new landlord and landlady.

I used this hotel for a two night business trip in Lincoln itself, around a fifteen minute drive away from Wellingore.The pub is tired & in need of someone buying it & doing some updating to brighten it up. It comes across as a typical locals bar; although the people I met were very friendly.The room was spacious & clean with a nice comfy bed. & for what I paid I had no grumbles. The owner did explain that he was no longer doing food any more, but honoured the fact that I had booked prior to this change of policy. I had a substantial breakfast which was fine.At the time the owner was looking to sell so a new purchaser may well breathe some fresh life into the place. However, for the money & the fact that it was just a couple of overnight stays for business it was fine & represented good value for money

The beef on special was a treat! Risotto also really enjoyed. Burger was delicious. Lovely meal will definitely come again soon

Great atmosphere will recommend. Lovely friendly atmosphere tasty well presented food - will be back.

New owners have done a great job on the interior, we liked the menu and the prices, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was really good. We would certainly recommend a visit.

Under new management, and rumours of poor review but decided to try it - had a great Sunday lunch 3 choices of meat which was lovely and tender and a great selection of vegetables - 8 of us enjoyed it and would encourage others to go and visit

The home made Steak and ale pie is just that, fantastic! Just like my mother used to make. I really enjoyed every mouthful. 2 real ales on offer, both good. Very reasonably priced too. Will return again (for the pie and beer!!).

We visited last weekend with friends, it was a great meal served by happy cheerful staff with excellent drinks. It really was home cooked food cooked to perfection. We will be back when next in the area.
