The Tulip Queen by Marstons Inn in South Holland

The staff are always friendly and the food is great! The carvery, especially the winter season is always on point! The meat melts in your mouth and there is a wide range of veggies! Dauphinois, red cabbage deeeelish!!

the food is generaly very good . we eat at this resturant on a regular basis , the staff are always great helpfull and friendly . head chef always turns out a good carvery .my daughter loves it .. thankyou

Came to the Tulip Queen yesterday for some lunch with my partner. I had the chicken kabab and my partner had a large carvery. Not a fault with our food staff are always friendly when we come in never had any problems when dining there.

Came in yesterday, plenty of parking and the gardens looked nice. It was clean and quiet when we walked in. I had the hunters chicken melt which was very tasty and hot while my dad had the cowboy burger with he liked very much. We didn't need to wait long for our food. Great pub to sit in and a very welcoming staff.

Staff friendly Carvery very good (would have liked baby potatoes ) it was hot and cooked to our liking dessert’s were delicious and all at a good price

We came for the quiz and ended up having dinner here, food was great and the quiz was fun too! Staff are lovely! Highly recommend.

Very friendly staff. The manageress was really kind and very accommodating. I would recommend this place to everyone.

I have to say a much improved experience. I have been coming to the Tulip Queen for a long time, and there was a point a while ago, when things had gone downhill. But over the past few months the standards have certainly increased. The food in particular has been excellent for the past few visits.

I went in on Mother’s Day and the service was brilliant as well as the food, I had carvery and it was perfect as always and a few of my family members had main menu and the demolished it. We will definitely be coming back

We came out for dinner on the 7th March at 6pm. It was a busy Saturday night and it was very busy but the staff were very quick to notice and sat us down. The food was really good. I had the Cauliflower wings for starter and then the large carvery. The food was spectacular and the staff were on the ball. One staff member in particular stood out I believe her name was Grace. She was whizzing around the bar serving everyone and she was doing this with proffesionalism and a smile. I already spoke to the 2 managers about her saying how wonderful she is but I have to let other people know. Well done 🙂

Booked a table for 7pm. Got seated, when we went to order we were informed there would be at least an hours wait for food. So we walked out and had nice fish n chips.

First visit. Went for the carvery on a Thursday around 1.30pm. Staff behind the bar where you order and pay were OK, maybe a smile would make you feel a bit more welcome. Ordered 2 x carvery. Even though we were the only people waiting it took ages for the chef to appear as they were "just doing something". We had beef and turkey as we are not keen on gammon. It was cut from the 2 dryest looking tiny pieces of meat. We were given 1 slice of beef and 1 and a half slices of turkey. I can honestly say I have never seen such thin, tiny slices of meat ever. Almost transparent. Vegetables were OK but just about tepid in temperature luckily the gravy was hot as this warmed the food up a bit. Taste wise, nothing exciting. OK if you just want a quick meal and aren't too bothered about what you are eating. Not the nicest carvery but doable.

I thoroughly enjoyed my continental breakfast at the business networking meeting and such a warm welcome from the helpful staff.

I visited with my family and i have mixed feelings about this place. Its was nice and clean. Food was fair to middling, eaten better locally. Carvery chef was rude, he mumbled something and I asked him to repeat what he said, then he rolled is eyes and sighed heavily, then repeatsd it. Not acceptable behaviour for a customer orientated job. Bar staff were friendly and they were very good with my grandson.

Came in a few weeks ago on a Thursday night for a meal and to join in on the pubs weekly quiz Had the steak and a drink deal which is good value. Food was lovely the staff was friendly and the quiz was fun to do all you need is your phone!

We booked for a busy Saturday night and were warmly greeted and shown to our very comfy table. We ordered the fish and chips (better than Sheddy’s in my husband’s opinion) and the beef madras (comes with both naan and poppadum). Both were super tasty and amazing value for the price we paid. Staff were friendly; chatty and knowledgable. Can’t wait for our next visit

food was very good but the customer service from one lady was appalling, she was very miserable when we was trying to order drinks, a smile atleast would’ve been nice but it seemed like she did not want us there at all. she was very blunt when speaking to us. i believe she was one of the managers too, it was quiet when we went in so it’s not like she could’ve been rushing about. disappointed. my brother did need id for his drinks however he did not have it in him which is fair enough but she was very rude about it.

The service was very poor, we got the Carvery which had beef, gammon, turkey, the beef was like boot rubber couldn't chew is so left it, No turnips, the roast potatoes were burnt no flavour, the mint sauce etc where dirty I asked the man serving the carvery where the knifes and forks were he was quite rude and said they will; fetch them you have not sat down, well part of our family had sat down and was waiting to eat, in the end i had to go find them myself, The desserts was Apple Crumble & custard it should have been called Apple biscuit crumbs as was defiantly not crumble ! and the custard well think that was on rations because it was such a small amount I struggles to swallow the crumbs and apple not worth the price. I shall not be returning.

Food was unreal! I will definitely be coming back. The prices are outstanding, especially as the meals are so good. 10/10 experience

Plentiful and well-cooked carvery. Beef was perfect colour inside and Yorkies light and crispy. Enthusiastic and attentive staff too. Recommended!

Great pub, Staff helpful and friendly. Food and drinks very good and reasonable price. Will be coming back.

We arrived minutes before last orders for food but fortunately the staff displayed a 'can do' attitude and we were made to feel most welcome. The food was good quality and served with a smile - the friendliness being mirrored by all staff we came...

Stayed in room 108 great food room was lovely and the staff were 5 star Theresa and kirsty and everyone very welcoming

Booked a Xmas Eve breakfast as no one else locally open so we were grateful for that . We telephoned and the staff guy assured us that if we got there by 10-45 breakfast would be available as they closed service for breakfast at 11-00...

Not enough staff so long wait to be served with drinks and food . Food only just acceptable . We have visited Tulip Queen since the first week it opened when the experience was perfect with staff who seemed to care .It is not like...

Always welcomed, staff are friendly and efficient. We go every week for food of main menu or carvery all always lovely.

Booked a table for 6 of us, for our twin grandsons birthday. Arrived on time at 4:45pm. Worst experience here ever. Usually the Carvery is superb.. not so today. Veg wasn't restocked, no cauliflower cheese, only 2 choices of meat because they were "saving the...

Went with sister for Sunday carvery. Was not disappointed. Food was scrumpy, hot and just like homemade with lashings of gravy available. You won’t be disappointed. The only negative was I didn’t realise pigs in blankets were extra and you need to add these at...

Use Tulip Queen frequently. Called in on way home. Meal was great. Shame restaurant was freezing. Sat waiting for meal in coats, partner kept coat on while eating. He stated toilets were warmer!..Agree with other comments regarding carvery, meat tough, knives useless so steered clear...

Our trip to the Tulip Queen was definitely a game of two halves. On the one hand we had a very pleasant evening with friends we had arranged to visit. On the other hand, with a a single exception were clueless with very little idea...

Staff rude especially on the carvery. Also cold meat over cooked as in dry and tough! When we complained, the waitress said they have had lots of complaints today, chef not interested. Save your money!

Went for breakfast 1/11/2023. Absolutely amazing. Food was hot. Allergies were catered for very well. Staff knowledgeable and very helpful regarding allergies think the ladies name was Lucy. Definitely recommend

Called in yesterday for lunch with my husband about 12.30 the restaurant was freezing I complained and the lady who showed us to our table and she agreed and went and put the heating on! We decided on the carvery bad choice first of all...

Well l was very surprised by our recent visit to THE TULIP QUEEN…we had three sirloin steak and it was one of the tastiest steaks we’ve had in a long time…perfect for our business brunch meeting….good to see the restaurant packed….

The carvery this time around was very poor the gammon was very watery and chewy and the beef kinda tasted like mush, the saving grace was the turkey that was very good. The assistant manager had a terrible attitude and made the atmosphere very unwelcoming....

Carvery very poor , been to many but this one is worse, see through meat , no choice and tasteless .

Food was delicious and staff were very welcoming. Everywhere was clean and tidy would definitely recommend it.

Terrible service went as group of 5, my wife had the carvery was advised that our meals would be out shortly and she should get her carvery. A few minutes later 2 of our meals arrive but we had not cutlery and told our waitress...

The food we had was good ( I had veggie chilli) but the choice was extremely limited. They have changed the menu and lunchtimes have suffered. No sandwiches, jacket potatoes etc. only 5 lunchtime main options. May not be going again unless we want a...

The Tulip Queen was a really nice place to catch up with family. Lovely and clean, staff were very friendly, we all opted for the carvery and it was very nice. Will be visiting again for sure. ( shame about seeing a Christmas tree 🎄...

We stayed on site as a large wedding party. We had an evening meal and 2 lots of breakfasts for 40 ish people. Nothing was to much, the staff were friendly and very helpful, especially the chap with the beard and tattoos 👏. Food was...

Lovely birthday lunch for our friend Leonard. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food excellent. This was our first visit since 2019 but will certainly be coming again. Thanks again. You made the day very special for our friend !

Had a carvery on the 31st August and it was amazing. I'm not normally keen on carverys but wanted something hearty before work. I will definitely have it again. I believe the person on carvery was called Barry. We also had allergies and this was...

Lovely food at a good price. Popped in as driving past. Not disappointed. Would recommend as a good placed for quick dinner

Amazing service from Sam Food was cooked to perfection Could not recommend this place any more to anyone wanting to take their family out for a lovely meal

We visited on a Friday evening and hadn't booked a table. It was extremely busy being the weekend. Our host for the evening was Alana who was most helpful and she found us a table for 3 more or less straightaway. We all decided to...

Went to the Tulip Queen for lunch with a friend on Wednesday. We was greeted at the door by a lady we was taken to our table and was told when we are ready order at the bar. We looked at the menu and went...

On arriving at the Tulip Queen Spalding ,I was pointed to reception and asked to wait and somebody would be with me to check me into the hotel part . I waited 5 minutes ...the pub was very busy ...a lady came out of the...

Lovely location and free parking. Had the carvery beef so dry and rock hard, vegetables cold. Staff very apologetic and one even said they have had lots of complaints, they were reported to the chef nothing done. Very disappointing meal. Won’t be going again and...

Was really good, food good and friendly staff to boot! Had a steak, was very good I recommend to anyone who likes steak. I went on a Thursday, which happened to be steak night, the deal is great!!!

Keep giving it another chance but I’ve had enough now. I choose the carvery , big mistake and very dissatisfied. The gammon and chicken where fine but tried to give me the end piece of beef which I refused another member of staff told the...

Carvery is dreadful , service slightly worse !! Booked a table for 4pm arrived slightly early , they couldn’t decide where to sit us but eventually we got a table , ordered food , 2 carvery 1 Childs meal and I mix grill ( medium...

Waited forever for two burgers and fries in a very quiet resaurant, which came out without the salad for the burger fries tasted like the had gone cold and been re cooked and a side salad that was brown and soggy Asked to speak to...

Great meals for very reasonable prices. We had the carvery which was really good as well as main meals. Staff friendly and helpful. Will definitely be visiting again.

I came here with family on the 27th June for my birthday. We were booked in for 6.30 it took well over an hour half to get food our food. 2 of us were having the carvery. The other food came out before we got...

The tulip, often associated with beauty and elegance, must have wilted in shame when confronted with the sorry excuse for a meal I endured. The carvery, that supposed bastion of succulent roasts and mouthwatering meats, presented itself as a sad, desolate wasteland. To call the...

Apparently Marston's above the law (as I know it) and they say they can make their staff work continually for 8 hours without a break. So on an 11-hour shift, you work for 2.5 hours, get given a break then back to work, and then...

We stopped for breakfast earlier this morning and both opted for the larger breakfast at £9.45 per person. The food we received was nicely cooked and was large too. The money paid included all of the continental offering too, fruit juices, tea, cereals, fruit etc....

Went for lunchtime carvery . Only a choice of beef and or turkey . Sadly I opted for some of each and the beef was tough as old boots . You also need to provide sharper knives as could barely cut the Yorkshire with what...

We had booked a table for father's Day brunch at 10.00am. We didn't get our food until almost 11.00am. The food was not as ordered and after several attempts we eventually got what we wanted. Although paying for cooked breakfast and continental we were told...

A reasonably priced restaurant with a good choice of food. Roast dinners are highly recommended and there is always a good choice of veg. On par with my mums roasts for sure !

No complaints at all. Great food great service. Food was lovely all 4 of us absolutely loved our meals and puddings.

After not being for a while popped in today for a carvary and as always it was great. The veg choice has changed which is nice to see the roast butternut squash and sweet potato and the ratatouille was very nice. Mad a nice change...

Food was terrible the carvery I wouldn’t even let my dog eat it it was over cooked and dry and gravy was like thick custard . Peas was like bullets and the attitude of the chef was rude

Two of us attended there today and ordered the carvery. What an absolute disappointment. We ended up with what I can only describe as lunchtime leftovers. The meat was dried up and cold and was the end of the joint and full of grisle. The...

We popped in for dinner and were really pleased with how friendly and helpful the staff were. They all gave us a smile and helped us with our meal. It was our first time at this restaurant and have been back subsequently with our Son...

Not great at all sadly. Was looking forward to an evening out but it was a nightmare: The ‘manager’ was rude - the service was quite terrible all-round and incredibly slow, also the food was questionable at best. We Would not come again. All round...

We have eaten at a Marston's previously and received excellent service and an a excellent carvery. Today we were greeted by sullen staff, but that's not too much of an issue as I wasn't planning on eating them. We decided on carvery as it had...

The last time my wife and I visited The Tulip Queen was a few weeks after it opened and it was an experience best forgotten. I gave it a one star review and said we would never return - It was that bad. However, today,...

Had a lovely time at the tulip queen last week. Amazing food served so compliments to the chef :) The woman whose helped with orders and drinks was amazing couldn't do more for us I believe her name was Kirsty. All round lovely place and...

Thanks for looking after me and the food was fab. Nice cooked breakfast and pancakes. Latte was nice too

Really good food, excellent management, fully recommend to go. Quality service. Clean and tidy place, comfortable

Came for steak night. Is a really good deal and the steak was cooked really well. Also had a chicken burger and the new Halloumi fries also really good. Will be back.

I visited with my parents. Food was good, but think the assistant manager needs to up her people skills, found her very dismissive.....

Came here for a family birthday on a Sunday. The restaurant looks great, tables are well spaced so you don’t feel crammed in. Prices very good and reasonable, staff excellent although clearly rushed as understaffed. As such, the food was ok but nothing special. I...

Went for a mid week roast. The roast wasn’t as good as we have had in the past, it wasn’t as fresh as we would have liked but the chef and staff were excellent

Friendly atmosphere Damn fine food BUT ooooh deary me ….? The toilets The ammonia hit you when I opened the outer door and the floor was awash with pee and water Hardly hygienic for a restaurant Sorry guys

Friendly staff but food was lukewarm at best, food quality and flavour lacking and absolutely overpriced. We’re not going back……..ever!

We arrived at 18:00 hours ordered starters and main course. Along with drinks at the bar as no table service. Waited at least 40 minutes for starters and another 45 minutes for main courses. Dreadfully slow services this evening and their excuse was it’s a...

my first visit here with a friend. we had the carvery, which was very nice, could have been a little hotter. My fork was dirty and i took it to the lady who was at the front of house, and no apology was given!!! the...

First time visit supporting local business as a birthday treat. Decided on the carvery which looked good. However the short distance from stand to table and the hottest thing on the plate was the gravy. Did tell the waitress/table server who said she would “tell...

The food is decent for the price. The carvery is good value and very tasty. The waitresses that served us were great. However the toilets were quite smelly and some public areas were very dirty. We raised this with the manageress who instantly became annoyed....

Good size carpark bearing in mind its also for the pub patrons Check in reception is in the pub next to the building, quick check in info given. Room(104) a very spacious room A very comfortable bed, good WiFi, excellent shower The only things I...

Lovely Food, a few mistakes but soon rectified. Pleasant staff and friendly. Scampi & chips were cold!! Lovely chocolate brownie demolished in under 2 seconds!

Visited today the 1st January 2023 with family who had come down from Manchester for the night. Had a lovely cooked breakfast staff friendly and helpful breakfast was hot and yummy. Even my little doggie got 2 sausages when we got home.

Once again you stand just inside the door entrance and are ignored by the staff. No dedicated Front of house manager managing this, another member of staff standing by her station doing nothing but can not be bothered to seat you, stating someone will allocate...

Very busy when we arrived which meant it was a while before our meal was served to us, a pre-ordered meal. Seats very close together leading to elbow banging constantly. Carvery was excellent with plenty of choice. None Carvery meals looked good too. Staff pleasant...

Good food and good service today when we came for lunch. Will defo be back. Also took some cake home. Many thanks 😊

I AM FUMING!!! Myself and husband arrived for Sunday lunch after booking 24 hrs before to be directed to a table in the designated family area which was full of families with young children and noisy which I appreciate. I raised my concern asking for...

Went with wife for meal. Lady at door received us politely and directed us to seat. I went to bar to order. There I remained whilst a number of people who approached the bar after me were dealt with. Apparent to me from conversations between...

We have been here quite a few times. It was generally good- but...The carvery has gone downhill lately. The last time we visited there was a very limited choice of veg. Overheated carrots, hard roast potatoes. Red cabbage! What's all that about?! Should be green...
