The Tempest in North Kesteven - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We went here about a year ago and were very impressed, so I was particularly looking forward to the lovely Ploughman’s lunch I’d had previously. The ploughman’s was lovely, half a pork pie, fresh bread, a slice of cheese, 2 slices of ham, and a little stack of salad was the ploughman’s. To accompany this there was a pot of butter, a large pot of chutney and a cut up pickled onion. This all padded out the board it was served on. It was all very fresh but far less in variety than last year and at a whopping £18.50 I expected more. It was almost the most expensive item on the menu!! I’m not sure how this price can be justified tbh. A sandwich was £12.00!! How?? My husband had the pie and mash which was delicious and worth £16.50 and a starter of pate that was also overpriced at £9.40!!! I had a soft drink and my husband had a pint. Our bill today was £60 Spoilt it for me really. We ate at the Dambusters last night, 2 hot courses and 2 drinks each, £58

Popped in to this gorgeous pub on route to Lincoln for a drink. Had such a warm welcome from both staff and other guests. I sometimes worry when visiting a village pub whether we will be welcomed but no fear here, lovely place. Lovely beer garden with fabulous views. And I got the treat of my life to watch the Red Arrows practicing right above us. I was so excited I could hardly contain myself! This pub is well worth a visit and it’s featured in the Good Beer Guide too!!

Very pricey for under average food, nothing special at all. Pie was very salty and probably frozen, fish and chips were over cooked, chips cut the roof of my mouth. Service was a bit slow. Have to be critical considering how expensive the food has become.

The opening weekend of the BBQ, must recommend the half roast chicken, value for money and really tasty! Friendly atmosphere and the staff are so welcoming! Free dog treats too are a plus!

Food good but seriously the portion sizes are so small ordered the pie 🥧 the smallest speicman out beans i counted about 5 and 8 chips we complained to the waitress and she said a new menus had been made and they had cut down on food quantity and upped the prices to compete with other surrounding pubs which I know is a complete load of hairy b....ks ..The ribs that we also ordered have also gone to £21 and shrunk in size ..complained to the owner and was offered a partial refund on the pie unfortunately we had already paid the bill and was utterly pissed of all I can say go to the market lounge Swinderby and you will see quality and bigger portions ...greed for maximum profits looses customers like us

Visited on Saturday evening,as soon as we walked in the service was spot on.Made to feel really welcome.Drinks order taken,then to decide what to eat , the starters are fantastic,so where the mains,everthing cooked and served to perfection,could not fault anything,a most enjoyable time,woulld highly reccomend.

Delicious Sunday roast with plenty of veggies and a Yorkshire pudding- even with a lamb shank! Home cooked and generous portions.

We came here on Saturday for party night. Very disappointed I have to say food was not great chips were luke warm and didn’t have half of the things on the menu, beer was off had to take three pints back and ran out of Prosecco. Young lad serving was not very polite shame was heard good things but doubt we will go back and it was our first visit

Lived in the area a few years now and been to the Tempest often. We always have a good experience and a wonderful meal. Tonight's steaks and pies were no exception and actually where perfection! Highly recommend :)

Warm welcome on arrival and the 2 members of staff that looked after our table were really friendly and attentive. One of our party had a dietary requirement and he was guided through what was suitable on the menu. All the courses were good value, nicely presented and there was a good selection on the menu. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and will recommend.

Great Sunday roast just one complaint ,roast potatoes very poor,as a chef myself I think they need to change there method and type of potatoes, also mash was tasteless,but everything else was spot on

Can’t recommend The Tempest at Coleby enough! Great views, lovely welcoming staff and the bbq food was just great! We will be back 😋

Super slow service, Pie of the day , rock hard , spoon of mash , 3 pieces of broccoli for £16! No fish of any kind on menu …..Bank Holiday disaster ! No offer to put things right

1st visit and will definitely return. Great village pub with great views from the garden. Dog 🐶 friendly too. Thanks to the staff for a great relaxed environment.

I would just like to say that we popped in for a couple of drinks, and the welcome we had from the bar staff was superb. We then met the landlady and her partner, and as strangers to the area were made to even feel more welcome. We will certainly return , and would like to say Thankyou. Nigel, Linda and Humfrey the hound👍

Came for Sunday lunch with famalam after a weekend away in Lincoln. Sadly I'm not a fan. The staff didn't seem that friendly or welcoming tbh which is a shame- however! Please don't blame the staff themselves for this, they are young and working very hard. Maybe it's the atmosphere? Idk. My rating is actually based on the food alone. Ok the pork and crackling was delicious!!! I can't fault that. But the Yorkie puds were as dry as death valley in July. Under neath the pork were two sad little roasties and a tiny blob of mash hiding away like woodlice beneath a stone. Everyone on my table had a roast and the veg and apple sauce was shared between us- not enough of either. Gravy weak and runny. I'm so sorry I wanted to like it but I just didn't.

Visited here for the first time, with our dogs, and after 5 minutes sat down outside ⛈️ Anyway, nice surprise to learn dogs were allowed inside so in we went. What was initially a “drink or 2” turned into quite a lot more, and we ordered food. Menu is decent for a local pub, nothing too fancy so pretty safe. Not too sure about the presence of Halloumi in the starter, and the rib eye was about 4oz for £27 and very overdone, but as it was a Tuesday perhaps it wasn’t main chef on? Around 7pm the place suddenly filled up with locals playing guitars, recorders and such who looked like they had a thoroughly good night playing music and drinking. Would go back as friendly staff and welcoming.

Visited for Fathers Day, for Sunday Lunch. I, and my family thought the food were excellent. However, it was the very friendly staff that made us feel very welcome that made the biggest impression. We live only 5 minutes away if Waddington so will visit regularly, now we know this gem of a place.

It’s nice to find a local dining pub that has got it right. The open fires on a chilly day were very welcoming. The Sunday Lunch was excellent and great value. The atmosphere was wonderful, the staff were excellent and it has a beautiful view over the Vale of Nottingham. The menu was well crafted and priced fairly. Congratulations to the owners!

Took a friend for lunch knowing it would be good and wasn’t disappointed. The roast beef was perfect - pink and delicious. Gravy and Yorkshire puddings to die for. Service as ever was attention, genuine and just the right balance. Location and view is also great. We’ll be back again soon.

Did an 11km run on the Viking route from Coleby village and booked here for a post treat Sunday Roast. Fires made for a cosy welcome in the bar area. Great selection of drinks. Good Sunday menu, not just roasts. Great service from the team. Checked if all was good, checked if we wanted more drinks. Chefs did a great job, veg had bite. Meat was seasoned and cooked well, good yorkshires and roasted parsnips, roasted carrots and roasted potatoes. Good portion of cauliflower cheese too. Gravy was full of flavour. Very happy, will return.

Really friendly welcome and great service . We had Sunday lunch and it was of high quality and delicious. Thoroughly recommend.

First time to the Tempest Arms in Coleby, Lincolnshire: it will not be the last. The staff wear absolutely brilliant, can’t do enough for you. The food was delicious and praise in deed for the Chef. The whole family had a great time and left with full belly’s. Thank you.

Just had the best Thai curry at the Tempest, I cannot believe I’ve not used this place more often, as I live so close. The setting, the staff, the food (new chef) just perfect.

Just had amazing fish and chips at this pub. Great village pub with good beers on. Can't fault it. Staff really friendly and would definitely return. A little gem in the village of Coleby.

Helpful staff, adapting the menu to meet our requirements and getting all of our meals out at once. Looking forward to trying their new menu as when we visited choices were limited whilst they changed from one to another. Parking was awkward due to the extra seating area in the new marquee in the car park whilst the village was having lots of road works going on.

Excellent beers with many options on cask. They also have the covid protection guidelines absolutely nailed. Fab pub - great experience

The food we had was out of this world, scallops were cooked to perfection, as well as the lamb loin! The deserts were to die for and the service was perfect!! Couldn’t fault a single thing, fantastic value for money! Will definitely be returning!!

Food was excellent and with a very varied menu. But found the table sticky which was a little off putting. Otherwise everything else was good. A nice place for a meal and reasonably priced and huge portions.

Have eaten here a few times but forgot to leave a review. Latest visit was after a 5 mile walk and we were welcomed along with our dog for Sunday lunch. Portions were a good size, piping hot and well priced. It's a lovely place to visit in the summer as they have a beer garden with tremendous views.

Three afternoon pints of Prava (a favourite) each in relaxed warm surroundings in the middle of a winter walk.

40 years past since last in here. 100% changed since then. Well worth a visit. Went as a group of 4 adults. Very friendly welcome upon entry. Excellent menu choice and while the restaurant on the night we went, was not over busy, we only had approx 20 minute wait after ordering. The food was piping hot and very tasty. We all "forced" desert after and was well worth the effort. Drink prices very competitive with any other village pub. Waitress very friendly and chatty. Will return very soon. Well worth it.

Attended with family to celebrate my sons engagement. First visit to premises and very pleasantly surprised. A number of people had steak which was a lean piece of meat and they all commented on the lovely taste. I had fish and chips the fish was huge with crispy batter and it tasted so nice. Cheesecake for dessert others had brownie and lemon tart. Again presented and tasted lovely. Staff very polite and will return thoroughly enjoyable meal prices reflect the size of portions - value for money.

Come here on a regular basis mainly for the good food and beer. Similar prices to other pubs in the area but alot better quality. Menu isn't to crowded so the quality is better. Chef Luke always cooks a decent meal and the portions are fantastic.Friendly staff and land lady with a regular choice of different real ales and lagers. Nice to drop in for a pint now the weather is getting cold , fire is always going and makes it a welcoming place to visit 10/10

I returned to the village after 20+ years to find my old aunts’ home. I had walked round the village and couldn’t find it. I decided to have lunch in the pub. The choice of food was good and I ordered a jacket potato which was huge and tasty. On the off chance I asked the lady behind the bar for help with my search. I could not have been more surprised! Long story short two people in the pub gave me information which led to a local historian which led me to finding the house! I also found my relatives’ graves in the churchyard. I am overwhelmed by the help from the villagers all instigated by the licensee and regulars of The Tempest so to them....a huge Thank You. I will return next time I am in Coleby and I WILL be back!

Visited this with and on the recommendation of a family member. He was not wrong. Good range of great beers eg Fullers ESBRestaurant reasonably priced - sizeable portions -plenty of veg.tasty roast beef and Yorkshire pudding ( home made). Pleasant and hard working staff. Nice views of the countryside.

On the 14 th of July Me and my husband came in for a lovely Sunday roast.........so we thought! The food was adequate. Wasn’t a warm welcome from the bar staff, which gave off a uncomfortable feeling. Usually we get a lovely welcome specially from the waiting staff but not on this occasion. Very disappoint will not be returning !

We had the best roast dinner ever at this establishment. Lovely thick tender roast beef and magnificent roast potatoes and parsnips . The service was excellent. Sadly we do not live in the area .

Family visit to Lincoln and we went to The Tempest for a meal on Saturday evening, fantastic food, none of your pub chain monotonous food, this was delicious home cooked food and the service was excellent. Cannot fault it and cannot wait to visit again.

Just love it here. Food - outstanding. Service - amazing. Beer - hic. Basically if you want a guaranteed good meal go here and it has the best views.

This is a lovely traditional country pub in the pretty village of Coleby. I went for a lunchtime drink and snack with a friend. I had the ham and cheese panini which was delicious. The views outside if the weather is good are spectacular. Im so glad this pub has been renovated as its only a couple of miles from where i live, so i hope to visit a lot more in the future X

A beautiful village with a great pub to match. Friendly staff and good prices for the extensive range of beer wine and restaurant menu choices.

We were treated to Sunday lunch. The menu included the usual roasts, one member of the party had beef and another the lamb. The meats looked delicious and were accompanied by lots of veg. Both recipients were very impressed. I had the sea bass fishcake, fries peas and salad everything was piping hot and extremely tasty. We decided to have a look at the dessert menu. I can recommend the waffle with ice cream, cream, dark chocolate and white chocolate sauce, absolutely mouthwatering.

Popped in for lunch following a 6 mile walk. Very warm welcome. Ordered large wine £5.10, house, and pint Peroni £4.80. I had the chilli and Queenie had the rump steak - £12.95 and £13.95 respectively. Food was very good, hot and well presented. The pub was happy to make changes to the order to meet our needs without any fuss or additional charge. Service was good as well. Possibly slightly agree that costs are a little higher than some places, but worth the value in my opinion. Highly recommended.

Recently visited The Tempest after many years, food only average. Laminated cafe style menu with limited choices, waitress welcomed us onto our table and told us what the soup was today, but also said the curry was off, burgers were off and something else was off. Good start I thought, not. Ordered a rump steak with trimmings , it was a plate full. The hand cut chips and onion rings were burnt to a crisp and swimming in grease. Yuk. Don’t think we will be returning.

I am never happy when I have to prebook a meal the dining room was cold and uninviting . food ok i thought expensive . we were not offered a sweet menu just coffee

Visited The Tempest last evening with friends. We were greeted as we walked in, which is always a good sign. The young waitress did an excellent job looking after us, the food was superb and the potions large. We will be returning!!

We went to spend our New Year at The Tempest and had one of the best we've had in years. The Landlady and her team were on great form. Very welcoming, friendly and keen to make their event a memorable one. Great real ale selection for me as a Camera member and the atmosphere created was really nice. No idiots with everyone friendly and enjoying themselves. The entertainment from the band's Arcadian and Mind Her Head was excellent and got everyone rocking. Right up my street. Reasonably priced champagne to bring in the New Year. All in all a great night and recommended to others. Lovely bathrooms, which unfortunately we're let down a little by the plumbing.

The portions are large. The food is good. Great Value For Money. The staff were lovely. What more could you want!

The mobility aids to the elderly or disabled are treated with contempt. Staff and customers remove them and casually toss them into corners.

He sido cliente de Tempest durante más de 30 años. . . . Desafortunadamente, esta es la cuarta vez en el rebote que he dejado frustrado. Pedí una hamburguesa de pollo y la otra persona con la que pedí salchichas y puré. . . . . Después de esperar 45 minutos para que llegue la comida. . . . Llegó la hamburguesa de pollo y fue como un arma de destrucción masiva. Gomoso cocinado casi como si hubiera estado en el microondas. . . . . la salchicha y el puré llegaron y el puré tenía una piel. . . casi como el chef tenía cero habilidades de coordinación y lo tenía sentado bajo una luz caliente durante años. . . . De todos modos mi experiencia aquí ha ido de mal en peor. La comida es normal y, en el mejor de los casos, el servicio puede describirse como pobre . . . está bien para una pinta, pero no se pierda este lugar si está esperando una buena comida.

Llamado por casualidad para el almuerzo. Hecho para sentirse bienvenido desde el principio. Gama simple de comidas de pub tradicionales a la hora del almuerzo. Ambos elegimos el pescado y las papas fritas, una generosa porción de eglefino con mucho sabor y una deliciosa mezcla. Troquelados a mano de gran calidad y sabor Sugeriría sentarse afuera en un día cálido como también hermosas vistas sobre el campo. Definitivamente vale la pena una visita.

We had the most amazing evening....it was the steak night and also our friends birthday......the lady and her staff went out of their to make it very special for us all the food was great .....5 star thank you.

A lovely warm welcome and excellent pub lunch sat outside in the sunshine with gorgeous views and lovely peaceful surroundings. So glad we waited until we reached here on our walk from Lincoln.

Some friends and I went out for a random lunch, picked a village, drove until we saw this place and we’re so glad we did.

I went there with my children got told I was to call and book a table not just turn up I'm a women .... so I got my friends who were men go in there and do the same thing and they got served food straight away no questions asked no told they have to book etc proved my point but how disrespectful to my children says family pub but what it should say is only family pub when we approve of you and your family Shame really

We had fish and chips at The Tempest and they were excellent I don't know where you were that Sat night Phil Ranby it must have been somewhere else, as for your complaint of the service we weren't booked in untill 7:30 for our meal which we got on time and the girls who served us were very good. I can't understand why you didn't complain at the time if you felt so strongly about it.I do believe your plate was clean after dining so it can't have been that bad.

We met our friends at this pub due to this been a central location to both where we live and had heard the pub advertising on the local radio and are always keen to support independent pubs.

I have had several meals here. The food is plentiful, tasty and good quality if a little overpriced for a country pub. I can’t imagine you would ever leave hungry. You and your dog are made very welcome.

I went with friends and thought I would play safe with fish and chips. Unfortunately I had not experienced their version, the batter was like leather,and the fish and the chips were like sawdust.It had clearly been pre cooked and I am not sure when! I then ordered

I would just like to thank Tracey and her team for providing an excellent venue for our wedding reception, we left it all to Tracey who made the restaurant look amazing. The quality of the service and food was beautiful- Luke, the chef’s slow roasted beef is to die for!

My husband and myself plus our son and daughter-in-law were celebrating our wedding anniversaries, so on recommendation we decided to try The Tempest. It has been taken over since we last visited and the interior was very pleasant, with a very relaxed atmosphere. The staff were very attentive and our meals arrived without much delay. Our daughter in law has to have gluten and dairy free food. This was no problem,she had to forgo some of the things that came with her steak, but was offered a large dish of vegetables to compensate! These she enjoyed immensley. All in all it was a very pleasant evening. We are having friends coming to stay soon so I think we will be going to The Tempest again.

This place is absolutely brilliant! I have visited with my husband, with a single friend and now with a large group. Each time I have been impressed with the very friendly service and great food. Tracy and her team served up some lovely sandwich platters at very reasonable cost for my walking group yesterday and all was ready for us. The setting of the pub is ideal for walkers and the view from the garden is breath taking. I will be going back again soon.

went in on a Sunday T TIME....asked if they were still serving food... YES!!! came the reply..........one of the LOCALS chipped in.....they've got PLAIN CRISPS CHEESE + ONION......i knew we was in the right place with humour comments coming

we went on sunday.nice setting, and great views.all staff friendly and helpful.meal a 10 from len.we all said the best sunday lunch we had ever had. everything perfect.i do cook every day, i am hard to please.if i give it 5 plus on tripadvisor, its good.we will go more often.thankyou aimee and tracy.

By far the best place in Coleby to enjoy a tasty and fulfilling meal, polite staff and lovely location. A treat

Seven of us ate here on 27 April and everyone had a very good meal. The portions are plentiful. I had the fish which was beautifully fresh and those who had the meat dishes enjoyed their meals. The staff could not have been more helpful and pleasant, and made no attempt to rush us out at the end of the meal.

Very pleased with the choice and the quality of the food. Also the staff were polite and attentive. The choice of ales was also impressive.

Went to pub after a run with a group of friends and they had a real good selection of beers on tap and bottled! A few things that let the place down was the seating was limited, admittedly we were a 20+ Group but other pubs easily accommodate us, there was limited room around the bar area and the vast majority of the pub is geared up to food which neglects the casual drinkers!

We arrived and nobody seemed to know what was going on with the reservation, the we were served by the staff who didn’t seem even old enough to work. No knowledge, limited menu, slow service 30 minutes just for a dessert. Terrible experience

Wow what a difference a few months can make. On our visit in December the experience was great, on our latest visit in April, total disaster !

Been here the last couple of Sundays after a friend recommended the place..food is excellent and very fresh good selection of beers and friendly polite staff would definitely recommend 👍

Food good Value good staff/service good And lady of the House brilliant Location stunning views Need to plan a return

After recommendations and reading reviews, our family went for a Mothers’ Day late afternoon meal.

We only went for a walk and on way back fancied a drink . I had never been in the pub before but bar staff were very friendly and it felt like home from home sat by the log burner . We didn’t intend to stop for lunch but as we were so comfy we had pannie with choice of fries and salad ,it was very filling and enjoyed by all . Will certainly be going back to try more food

I haven't been here for many years as I live north of Lincoln so it's a trek. Met for a family lunch to celebrate a birthday. Really impressed with the staff, food and venue. It's got a lovely atmosphere and felt warm and cosy. Restaurant was packed but food came out in a timely manner, hot and tasty. Good choice and generous portions but also well priced. Recommended to neighbours who have been to the steak night and were also very impressed. Well worth the drive and will definitely be back. Well done and thank you.

We sat in the restaurant and there were a number of tables taken. The previous night had been quiet so there was only one waiter on duty. E was kept very busy but was efficient, polite and attentive and we were kept well informed of progress. I had the smoked salmon and poached eggs on muffins plus a bowl of their excellent home made thick cut chips. My friends had panini sand were very happy with their food.

What a lovely friendly place, very clean and very welcoming. Came with my husband and daughter for a bit of lunch, staff were pleasant and friendly. The food WOW food was fantastic, good quality, good portions, hot and very tasty we all had something different from the menu and was not disappointed. We will definitely be going back at a lunchtime. We looked at the evening menu as well and will definitely be trying that. Looking forward to going again and when the weather is warmer it would be lovely to sit outside as the views are lovely. I highly recommend people to try The Tempest we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Paid a visit on a Saturday lunch time to try some lunch. Nice a cosy and staff really pleasant and welcoming. Ordered our lunch and was left jaw dropped with our next tables meal whilst waiting for us. They had the burger and ribs wow wow and treble wow. We ordered panini and bloomer sandwich, was not disappointed left totally stuffed. Great value for money two lunches drinks and tea for under 30 notes you’d be silly not to try. Great views aswell in a beautiful village location. Community pub, what’s there not to like

We visited ‘The Tempest’ on the 30th December and we had a super meal. Every course was excellent and presented lovely. I would definitely recommend this village pub.

Me and my hubby popped here for a change following a recommendation from a friend. The Tempest is very well...

Lovely atmosphere, excellent service and superb meals. Could not fault a single thing this evening. Portion sizes are very good. Amble on site parking too.

Recently refurbished, this pub is now well worth a visit. As a pub, it is most definitely the local many for the villagers. Good selection of cask ales along with keg beer and lagers.

Such a lovely little village pub with great outside space. Simple lunch menu, really good food and lots of it, but what makes this pub truly amazing is the service. Kerry has such a fabulous attitude, is great fun and delivers really good, easy going service with a smile. Thank you for a lovely lunch.

Probably the best beef sunday roast that I have ever had , as an ex farmer the meat was sublime . A week later had the best rack of baby ribs that I have ever eaten , in my quite long life .

Very warm welcome from the land lady. Great view from the garden. Good choice of food available and it was well presented. Very tasty too. Beer was excellent.

After a recommendation from a friend we decided to try The Tempest for lunch. We were lucky enough to get an outside table, overlooking the picturesque countryside and had a lovely lunch. The lunch menu is much as you would expect in a country pub, but the quality was excellent and the service faultless.

Wonderful food beautiful setting overlooking the Trent valley very Cosy and very well kept faultless beer

If you are looking to get out of the city, have a decent meal washed down with a good pint of ale or nice house wine...look no further. The Tempest has it all, a well furnished, clean welcoming bar area where you could just sit & watch the world go by, or dine in the well appointed dining area. Great views over the Lincoln edge towards the vale of Belvoir in the distance. While the food isn't michelin starred, neither are the prices, just good honest cooking done well. Go there are enjoy......

as a foursome out for a meal on Saturday night.In licoln there is a restaurant that says its the place for ribs. No the Tempest has the best ribs I have eaten for years. All four of us had excellent main courses served by friendly obliging staff who made us very welcome. We all felt the sweets on offer were no so exciting but this was a not a major point of concern.Will be back for ribs Keep up the great standards

Visited last week as a group of friends out for a birthday lunch.We were given a menu so that we could pre order. Choices were jacket potatoes, paininis, chips, salads all of the usual lunchtime pub food.I had the hot smoked salmon fish cakes with salad and I have to say they were absolutely delicious!There are tables outside so great if the weather is good. I would like to try it in the evening to sample the evening menu and will make it my mission to do so!

We had an excellent dinner here last night. The staff are very pleasant, the food is very good and plentiful. Lovely views of the Lincolnshire countryside. Good range of gins!

Called in this place on Saturday lunch and ordered a baguette for my partner and a ham and cheese salad for myself not realising what a really nice venue this is, the outside area is well manicured in the garden and how nice to see such clean tables,the service of the staff was impeccable to the point that i felt compelled to want to call again and so we did on the Sunday following, the traditional Sunday lunch was exceptional and the dining room had a contemporary feel to it, you could also take your meal in the bar side which was equally as inviting, the food was gorgeous, the choices were lamb,beef,pork belly and chicken with vegetarian options, to accompany this there was roast potatoes, mashed potatoes,parsnips,yorkies and a separate bowl of veg with at least four premium veg all so fresh and not forgetting the cauliflower cheese and your own jug of gravy, can't wait to visit again.

arrived after booking at short notice, 3 plus one vegetarian.all of us very very happy with our food and service.well cooked and presented Sunday lunch with not just good old roast beef or pork options.Great soup as a starter with fresh bread, piping hot which some places fail to be able to manage. excellent belly pork.Cask bitter and a good selection on the wine list.will be back to try the evening menu.

Visited early on a Wednesday evening just after it opened at 6pm. Hadn't been there for a while but it was just as good as I remember. The wife and I had a couple of burgers and chips off the menu and they were excellent. Nice pint of ESB as well. An unpretentious pub and all the better for it ( unlike a certain other establishment in the same village). Recommended

Went here on New Year's Eve with the family, and our dog Chilli, had a wonderful meal and we were all made to feel so welcome by the landlady and her staff, Kelly was brilliant behind the bar.The food was beautiful and the locals were receptive too, would definitely recommend people to come and visit, either for drink and/or food.So dog friendly, and we even got a taxi from North Hykeham out there so we could drink. We got there at 12 and didn't leave until 1800! Hic!

Excellent food and first class friendly staff. Would definitely recommend. The Tempest is worth a visit for a drink and a meal. One of the best gastropubs in Lincoln.

Visited for Sunday lunch. Pub was quite busy and would recommend booking a table in advance.Food was excellent, served piping hot and good size portions.Only let down is the speed of the service, takes along time from ordering to actually been served your meal, despite it only being a small restaurant.

Been for a drink here before, decided to try the food. Was a good decision as Sunday Lunch was excellent, food piping hot, which makes a nice change! Friendly service in homely surroundings. Well worth a visit.

Took my elderly mother out for lunch and headed for Client where many years ago there used to be a good food pub. Couldn't remember it's name and stumbled across the Tempest. It was very good. Welcoming and the food was really very good. I thought the food looked a little pricey when I was perusing the menu but I left feeling I had had excellent value for money. The menu is quite simple but that is a good thing as everything on it is done well. Generous portion sizes and nicely good vegetables which is not always what you find in blighty. The pub has a good selection of cask ales to boot.
