West Ashby Arms in East Lindsey

In March we booked for our wedding reception in May. Three weeks before our date in May, a friend told us she had heard the pub was closed. We tried to phone/write to find out details but all attempts to contact them ignored. Up on visiting last week, it looks like it's closed for good. We would have turned up with all 12 guests following our wedding. Luckily we have found another place, at such short notice.

Arrived around 6pmish and no chef had to wait which wasn't really a problem, after we ordered was then told afterwards there were no steak and no mixed grill. we went ahead and ordered the hot dog & burger offer, fish & chips, chicken burger and fajitas. When the food arrived it was absolutely awful. all burger buns were rock solid (one was changed) cheap burger nothing proper. spicey fajitas sizzling plate was full of water and the fish was undercooked. As we ate , only really the chips were edible as the wraps were also rock solid! the chef and bar staff were in an out of the men's toilets like yoyos for about an hour, god knows what for! on top of that the chef left his knife in the toilets and by the look of him most likely would use it on your food without washing! i wish id have taken photos!! we have been recommending this place to our guests on tattershall lakes but from now on wont be and will never be returning again. i even told the bar staff member we wasn't happy with the food without any apology, nothing, have had stomach problems since visiting so would avoid if i was you

Easter weekend and the pub is not even open ! Friends had a table booked for dinner, turned up doors locked and no one had even bothered to call them ! Shocking for what is supposed to be a village country pub !

We booked a post funeral reception, everything was first class, service, food presentation- good selection of hot and cold buffet, displayed well and plentiful, all our guests gave favourable comments about the food and we were very happy with the overall experience thank you Mark, Kelly and team well done - please get an ansaphone or internet booking system I am sure you will make contact easier for people - well done

Fabulous Christmas Dinner on Christmas Day. Food was excellent and plenty of it. The staff were friendly, helpful and cheerful. It was the first time our family had ventured out for a Christmas Day meal and we wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Thank you to all the staff at the West Ashby Arms.

The West Ashby Arms Provides a great Take Away service and you can collect. The food is always great and very tasty, the Ribs are some of the best I have tasted. If you live near enough to West Ashby I can certainly recommend. Will be looking forward to visiting in person again when the Lockdown is lifted.

Stayed in horncastle for a week and had 3 different meals at this pub and was easily the best food we’ve had! The Sunday roasts were by far the best we’ve had at a pub! We then went to book on for steak ribs and wings night on the Wednesday which was equally as tasty! On our final night we ordered from their takeaway service having a mix of foods from burgers to curries. All food is cooked beautifully and the portions are huge! Highly recommend!One thing to point out - if you are walking to this pub from local villages via the main road be sure to have a torch/smart phone to hand as there is no street lighting for your walk back at night.

Definitely recommend this place. Staff are so friendly and the food is great and brilliant value for money. We will be back

Went for a Sunday dinner today, by far one of, if not the best Sunday dinners I've had from a a pub. Staff were great and the atmosphere was lovely. Definitely recommend.

We were not local so did our homework on where to eat as we had a couple of vegetarians to cater for and sometimes choices can be limited. On arrival the staff were very friendly and helpful, i liked the fact they were happy to tell us what alcohol was on special offer and considering they had quite a few people in the service was consistent and spot on.They were happy to tweek the vegetarian pasta dish to how it was preferred . We couldn't fault any of our meals they were well presented and tasted delicious. I would definitely recommend here to eat, we are quite a fussy family but no complaints here our evening was perfect, a fab team.

Booked at last minute table for 5. Really friendly staff , couldn’t fault any of them. We all had the Sunday roast dinner which was delicious. Very tender meat fab Yorkshire pudding ( high praise indeed from us as were all from Yorkshire). Vegetables all cooked beautifully. Thank you so much for a lovely meal

Due to COVID we could not eat in but arranged for a home delivery. I was worried that the food we ordered would not be hot when it arrived so I heated up the oven in preparation. However, I needn’t have worried: all of the meals arrived hot, ready to eat and they were delicious! Everyone commented on how tasty their food was and the prices were reasonable. I would highly recommend this place and look forward to eating there in the future.

We popped in for Sunday dinner on route to the beach, the food was top class quality. Roast potatoes were crispy, beef was succulent, everything was cooked to perfection. Then we tried the desserts, well the flavours and quality again blew me away. I have recommended you to my friends already and I'll definately be back for a second visit. Thank you.

Excellent! Food is great ! Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere . I must visit in the aria . Keep up the good work .

Brilliant service, amazing prices. Such a lovely atmosphere inside. This is a place we often go to regularly. The food is always perfect and the staff are very friendly. Plus the desserts are superb. 11/10, highly recommend.

During lockdown we ordered takeaway meals from the West Ashby Arms and are still ordering them now as they are absolutely superb. We highly recommend

So glad that our favourite pub food is available as a takeaway. Excellent food and service as always, just from the comfort of our own home!

We have just taken delivery of Fish & Chips from the West Ashby Arms due to the lock down due to Covid-19.Absolutely delicious cannot fault the service keep up the good work.We will definitely be using them again also paying them a visit when we get back to normality Stay Safe all of you

Came in and didn’t book a table. We were escorted to a table by Olivia and served by Jamie. At the bar Megan was there to serve drinks also. All 3 girls were lovely and so kind also rather cheeky at times especially towards my friend lol. Service was amazing. The chef lewis also cooked an amazing Sunday lunch which left me and my friend full to bursting. Thankyou very much for the visit, will be back soon.

We eat here very often and always have a lovely meal. The staff are very friendly and can’t do enough to help. Generous portion sizes and a great selection of food on the menu. We particularly enjoy a family Sunday lunch. Highly recommended!

My friends and I go to the West ashby arms alot. The food is always fantastic and staff are lovely and very helpful.

Website says they're serios abouit real ale and have an extensive choice. Actually they has none and a barmaid who was totally disinterested in us. We left without buying anything and have deleted our plans to eat there.

We had a party of 11 meet up for Sunday lunch at quite short notice but were accommodated. Warm and friendly welcome and efficient service. Can't actually find any fault with anything, excellent service excellent value for Monet and the best roast beef I have ever had. Others were pleased too with everything from children's meals to vegetarian. Will have no hesitation in recommending of going again when we are in the area.

we had family down and met here for dinner .the pub is more suited for eating and is a smashing place . the staff couldnt do enough and the food was fantastic ..even the view from the back of the carpark is great ...try it

I have seen and heard some amazing reviews so I thought I would give West Ashby another chance, however on the 3rd chance we won't be returning. Terrible food, poor service, poor quality steak

Arrived home late and decided to pop out for something to eat. Went a little further afield from home. Rang to see if they were serving meals in the evening. Bright helpful voice on the other end of the phone. Well, what a find. Wish it was our village pub. Both young ladies serving drinks and food were excellent!!!! Very helpful, shared humour, etc. Meal was very good. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely, definitely, definitely go back.

Outstanding food from a varied menu served by congenial hosts. Good beers from the bar and clean stylish restaurant area

Moved to West Ashby two weeks ago and finally got to have a meal at our ‘new’ local.

A belated 'Christmas' meal for HUG, the Horncastle Ukulele Group. We practise here once a month (3rd Thursday) and are grateful for the use of the room. Now we are also grateful for a super meal, promptly and efficiently delivered, at very reasonable prices. Food at the West Ashby Arms is themed according to the day of the week, Thursday is Curry Night, but the usual menu is also on offer. There were specials on the board as well. We had our table for the evening, and enjoyed a variety of meals, all excellent.

Came in tonight with my 9yr old daughter. Me and her go when my partner, her dad is out on a night out so it's our little treat. We are both gluten free and although nothing is marked gluten free on the menu the lady behind the bar knows exactly what is and isn't and if she isn't sure she checks. My daughter is very fussy and nothing is too much trouble for them. The food is fantastic, never had a bad meal and other people say the same. Definitely 10/10 from us.

Staff works function - celebration, 22 of us booked in for a meal, all from the varied and exciting menu, To be fair we pre-ordered all our mains, The whole team made us truly welcome, and were very efficient and with good humour looking after us, Service as excellent fast and efficient, the food everyone remarked how good it was with well cooked generous portions, very happy to recommend and we will return, we had the large back room to ourselves and this was excellent, Thank You to all the West Ashby Arms Team !!!!!

Good food good atmosphere bar staff lovely and DOG FRIENDLY if you don't mind eating in the bar. Been regularly and always had a good meal

Members of the MG c.c. met recently for lunch.

Been to this public house a number of times and not had a bad pint or bad meal yet. In fact the food and service has been excellent and we have always been made to feel very welcome. Last visit was in a party of 16 diners and there was also a party of 12 in there. Service and food quality was not sacrificed and the overall view of our group was that the food was excellent at a very reasonable price for the quality.

We stopped in for a break while driving to London. So glad we found it! I had the Cod and it was great! A little too much food to eat in one setting! The staff were friendly and helpful. It was a much needed rest stop! It was clean, warm and cozy!

The staff are very pleasant, welcoming and friendly. The food is absolutely beautiful. Good sized portions and also comes out in good time! This place is definitely worth a visit. Also has a lovely view at the back of pub.

Service is very slow and it wasn’t even very busy, food very average, burgers expensive for what they are when you can go to a nearby American diner and pay the same for better quality. Don’t think I’ll be returning

We have eaten twice here recently once as a couple and one with my Sister, husband and 19 year old niece. Both have been enjoyable experiences.

Four of us at short notice called in (we called on the off chance) late saturday afternoon.

If you want a fabulous Sunday lunch this if the place for you it’s as close to a home cooked roast you can get

Absolutely delicious food.The beef was beautiful cooked and the gravy was perfect. The restaurant was full of people, creating a lovely atmosphere.Id love to come again if I'm ever in the area

This was our third visit and it was superb. I had the steak ribs and wings, the steak was really good and cooked spot on, the chicken wings were a great flavour and the ribs were the best we have had , melt in the mouth . Will be back , again thank you

Overall, very good family meal for six. Good value for money from a varied menu. The spacious dining room is comfortable though its dull lighting doesn't do much to create a warm atmosphere. Service was generally good if a little inconsistent at times.

Long waiting time, booked table for 19:30 and didn’t get called from bar area until 20:30. Slow service average pub grub, avoid the Stilton sauce it is the worst I’ve ever had just tastes like vinegar and ruined my meal

Whilst on holiday we ventured to a pub for dinner.. great varied menu . Polite staff . Food excellent . Food fresh and cooked to perfection (fussy children) .. look forward to booking again in the near future.

We had booked a table for quarter to eight and when we turned up we had to wait in the bar for them to get the table ready. No big deal we thought.

Trying to find the best Sunday lunch and saw this one was highly recommended on Facebook. Pleasant surroundings with a fair sized garden, food ok mains were good big portions but desserts not worth the price. Service ok however welcome wasn’t great just one girl out front didn’t seem very competent- nor was beer anything to shout about. Not sure if we’d return.

Really attentive and lovely staff, huge portions, calm atmosphere and good value for money! Both mains and desserts were delicious! Will definitely be returning!

Lovely, relaxing seating was a good welcome to us. So much more civilised than sitting at the dining table until food arrives. Fish n chip Friday and hubby is an expert on this meal. I asked for new potatoes rather than chips and that was no problem. Presented perfectly, tasted delicious, service spot on.

I'm always interested in the little green bar that says terrible on ratings, as I have been to terrible places, not sure I would bother to comment though. They must be michelin star eaters?

A good range of traditional \\\"pub grub" regulars + some more quirky specials.

Best pub food for miles around. Never had a bad meal. Ribs and wings are amazing!!! (Excellent vegan options too)

Lovely tasty meal with family.. starter of scotch egg/ black pudding .. Brie, wings.. main of ribs/salmon and no issues with any of it! Only criticism is they ran out of my favourite wine after one glass but that’s all...will def call again!

We called here for a meal a few weeks ago. We asked what time they stopped serving food and we were there in plenty of time but the girl did tell us that we may be waiting about 20-35 minutes. We got a drink and ordered a burger and fish and chips.

Walked in without a booking and was accommodated in a spacious, clean and tidy restaurant, excellent menu choice and the food was well cooked and presented, would recommend to anyone. Only slight criticism is the menu card was very shabby and unprofessional.

Sunday lunch main meal only,two or three course available roast beef with trimming and roast port dinner both where very well presented tasty and plentiful would return and recommend friends etc.

We went to the West Ashby Arms, the staff are lovely and friendly, the food was fantastic and great value, highly highly recommend, we will be going back very soon!! Large menu with plenty of choice. The bar was also very well stocked with a variety of choices to meet everyone's requirements. The West Ashby Arms has a main bar area with seating, separate seating area in a side room, restaurant and out door patio seating, also a large car park.

Perfect spot for walkers wanting a meal and drink in a lovely, relaxed setting. Great views across the Wolds from the outside seating area. Food is of a very high standard with plenty of variety and generous portions. Very friendly service. One of my favourites!

Booked for a table of 6 the other night and we were quickly seated and with drinks in hand. Looking over the menu we found a lot of choice although if you are on a diet i would advise avoiding this place. Nothing on the menu that would fit into a healthy bracket but its food worth cheating on your diet for. Massive portions of deliciously cooked food. I had the friday fish special and ive never seen a bigger portion of fish. The bread and butter was a.giant slab of bread and the side of curry sauce was devine. If its a sample of what the curry might be like i know what im ordering on my next visit. Recommended with 5 stars for a reason.

Really good experience at the West Ashby Arms for 21 hungry walkers. Menus are £7.99 or £8.99 depending on choice and tea or coffee included. Good service, food and friendly staff. We will return!

Have visited here on a few occasions now and the food and service is always fantastic Warm and friendly atmosphere and the homemade desserts are a must

10 of us went for lunch, booked based on trip advisor reviews. We were not disappointed, lovely location, easy to find with plenty parking. Friendly welcome from staff who smiled throughout. Excellent selection of food from both menu ad specials and at a great price...

Just eaten for the first time here thought the ribs were the best I’ve ever had. Loads of meat with a really good sauce. 5 stars

We spent a couple of days antique hunting in Horncastle last weekend. Four of us had lunch here on Saturday and it was ok. Whitebait was ok but I think bought in. Chips were pretty good. I had a ribeye steak which there is no polite way of saying was a cheap and nasty piece of meat. Service was good. Maybe I should have kicked off a bit more about the rubbish beef. Everything else was ok. Spinach salad leaf with every order ok but dull. Was expecting a bit more to be honest from the reviews on here. Somewhat unimaginative which I think has been said before.

Good food real roast potatoes {not deep fried}fresh vegetables and gravy comes separate.Good value,friendly staff,clean and comfortable.

Four of us went for evening meal and were not disappointed..lovely decor and relaxed surroundings..good choice of beers at the bar..food was excellent with a good menu..nachos and spicy chicken wings for starters were really nice...recommend the Paella for two to share with two free drinks for £25 for main meal..it was really tasty and plenty of it...steaks were good and cooked to taste..service was really good at all times..

this hostelry has changed hands several times over and been closed down for a time in 14 years I have lived nearby, with varying rates of success. In the past I have enjoyed some first class food there, and my friend and I decided to try an evening meal there on November 2nd. I'm afraid it was a disappointment to us both. The menu looked like an American diner, majoring on burgers, which was not a good start. However, we chose other items from the menu, and the barmaid/waitress took our order. We were both surprised when the 'baby' calimari starter arrived, served puntillitas style, a tiny portion, on a tiny dish. We had to ask for a side plate, for the lemon rind etc. that was when we managed to attract the waitress' attention.The whitebait arrived as huge portion with 2 very thick slices of bread. All a bit odd, and clearly frozen produce. The main course was not what we expected. My companion had a mixed grill, which was, as she said, unimaginative,' plenty of 'ordinary' meat on the plate, poor presentation, and dried out meat, which had clearly been kept warm for some time. I ordered a rare sirloin steak, which is my favourite cut of beef, well, it was rare, but the outside fat was not cooked at all, Such a shame because that would have enhanced the flavour. Even more disappointing was the amount of gristle/cartilage; at least one third of the whole steak was inedible. No one asked my if my main course was OK, which is unusual. So, yes I could have called the waitress over, and complained at the time, but by then I was pretty fed up with the whole thing, so we just asked for a doggy bag, and took away the steak, and the dried remnants of the mixed grill, which the dogs had the next day. All in all average pub grub, with the chips served in little buckets, oh dear!

We have been a few times and have always been happy with the service and food. The Saturday offer of Paella was really good.

Have now visited three times once at Saturday lunch and twice for Sunday lunch.All meals have been very good. Fresh vegetables and proper roast potatoes (not deep fried) gravy comes separate so have as much or little as you want. Friendly staff and reasonable priced will definitely be going back.

Went for lunch today, absolutely lovely. The hospitality, food and drink was wonderful. Excellent value and they could not be more helpful, welcoming and accommodating. Would highly recommend.

What an absolutely wonderful place,the food and hospitality was amazing. Had a wonderful time,would recommend to anyone.

I think I should do two reviews for this restaurant because my first 3 visits here were very good and the food was quite delicious. You can get "specials" on various days - Mondays are perhaps "Steak and a Drink" days, or Fridays are "Fish and a Drink" and Saturdays are Paella and a starter - all very reasonably priced. The steak was melt in the mouth and came with wonderful chips (proper hand cut chips, not the usual pre-prepared sort) and the fish was battered to perfection!!!! I mean that in the best possible way!Unfortunately our Sunday lunch was a disaster - the meat was bland and pale (roast pork) the stuffing was stodgy and still raw inside, and the fish my daughter ordered was still raw. What happened? Definitely won't return for Sunday lunch, but for food during the week it has been superb. The atmosphere is a bit lacking on a "not busy" evening - but the outlook at the end of the restaurant is lovely, if you like rolling Lincolnshire fields and a big sky.You might drive past this pub - from the road it is very unassuming, but the building stretches back away from the road and the restaurant is quite large, modern and very clean. It's a shame we had a bad experience - these things tend to stick in the mind.I would say give it a try (weekdays) and I hope you might be pleasantly surprised.

Having visited multiple times now when we come on holiday I would choose no where else and always compare other establishments burgers to the standard of the West Ashby because yes, they are THAT good! The atmosphere is always lovely with the friendly regulars and welcoming staff! They accommodated my children's requirements and kids eat free with the roast on a Sunday so good bonus! Also breastfeeding friendly, which all establishments should be, but West Ashby Arms have comfy seats that they showed me with my glass of water which was highly appreciated. I'll definitely be going back again to work my way through their menu as it all looks amazing! Highly recommended even if you just fancy a pint :)

Our first experience with the present management team was shortly after they took over and we vowed never to return. However, we were persuaded to give it another try on the recommendations of three different sets of friends who all said how good it is now. Big mistake!We were kept waiting nearly an hour for our starters, which were average to say the least. Our main courses also met with varying degrees of approval - the mixed grill was very good but the cardboard chicken was not lemony at all, the enchiladas had obviously been under a heat lamp for so long they had congealed and the ribeye steak was inedible. And the sweets...least said soonest mended, All this with drinks came to £60 per couple...an absolute total waste of money. Oh, and the delightful entertainment continues to be the disgruntled cries of the children from behind the bar.The whole experience was like sitting in the middle of a crèche eating plastic food from the play kitchen. I can't understand it because, like I said, friends whose judgement we trust have praised the food here. However, needless to say that this time we definitely will not be returning until the place changes hands.

We made our second visit here when our Dutch friends visited. We wanted a venue where we were confident of a good meal and we were not disappointed. Two of us had the brie wedge starter and I think some would consider that a main course as it was huge - but delicious. Deep fried in breadcrumbs with a sauce it was properly cooked and runny all the way through. One of the party had whitebait as starter and that too was generous and delicious. I decided to try the beer battered haddock for main course and again was not disappointed. As might be expected the main problem with the sweets was finding room but we all left feeling very satisfied with a delicious meal in very nice surroundings. The staff were friendly and helpful and we will be returning before our friends from Holland visit again!Highly recommended and it West Ashby Arms appears to be well supported by the locals. Always a good sign.

I went with a friend for afternoon tea, the table was nicely set with china and a rose for decoration. A China tea pot of very hot water was brought out and there were all types of teabags in a container for our use. The cake stand came out with nicely cut sandwiches with a good amount of tasty fillings in. Scones( don't think they were home made, but still tasty) jam and clotted cream and three small individual cakes each. My favourite was the coconut macaroon. The tea pot was refreshed as required. Very pleasant hour spent eating and chatting and at £8.50 each person very good value .

We needed somewhere last minute to have a Sunday roast and we were glad when this place said they had availability! This was our first time here and we loved the food. Will definitely return !

We called in for a coffee to check it out before we booked a table for a special meal. It was only rated 3 on the hygiene scale which is not a good sign. It has recently been redecorated and it has been modernised. The coffee was served from a machine but unfortunately it was cold so I had to ask fir some hot water to be addedDecided not to book the table as it just wasn't really what we were looking for

Always a warm welcome and quick service. Restaurant has great food both lunchtime and evenings. Special nights make for something different and the curry night is a favourite. A must for everyone and caters for large groups/parties too.

Just had a really good Sunday lunch in this great pub/restaurant. The service was smart and the food was excellent. Very good portions and very good value for money. I bet their theme nights are super and look forward to our next visit.

There was a comprehensive menu with plenty on it for veggies. Both food and service were excellent. We will be back !

We have just made our first visit and it happened to be fish and chips night! Large piece of haddock, triple cooked chips and peas with a drink for a tenner! The fish was fresh and delicious, the chips crisp and since I couldn't decide, they brought both mushy and garden peas! Absolutely superb. My wife decided on scampi and chips with salad. Equally impressed. The staff were friendly and helpful and we felt welcome. The only downside was that we could not manage a sweet, even though they offered us a takeaway version!We now intend to try their midweek and Sunday lunches, both of which are reasonably priced. If they are as good (and I am sure they will be) then we seem to have found our local hostelry while we keep our caravan for the summer at nearby Ashby Park.Highly recommended.

I've been in for a lunch about 5 times over the last 6 months and had consistently good lunches here. The food's really nice and there are some really good deals on the lunch menu. The staff are friendly and I can highly recommend this as a good place to eat.

new to this area diy and decorating got put on hold , we needed a sunday dinner treat, and the west ashby arms , did them selves proud .... great staff ....quick service....top class dinner (clean plates all round) and the price was good to ....will defo be back . well done to all the staff .

It seems that this place has changed ownership again since I last visited , but once again we weren't disappointed.It seems to be very popular and was full on the Sunday we visited A party of 4 who hadn't booked were sadly turned away - so best to book folks!The menu was varied (plenty for veggies) and both cooked and presented in a very acceptable manner.We will be back !

I came here with a friend on 22nd March 2017 after driving passed many times before. We both ordered Hunters Chicken and it was possibly one of the best I have ever had. The staff here and also nice and friendly and I was going to use Apple Pay to pay for the meal we had and I hadn't bought my card in and they took 20p off the price so I could use Apple Pay. I will definitely recommend this place to a friend and will be going back.

Great find. Welcoming and friendly hosts. Lovely meal, I had the fish and chips, batter delicious and very light and crispy. My husband had a very nice gammon and chips. Highly recommend. Looking forward to a return visit when we are back in the area.

Once again, on a visit to my aunt in Horncastle we decided to have lunch at the West Ashby Arms. I feel that this place is not as busy as it ought to be. We have been twice now on visits from Yorkshire. The food is well done, generous and the service is excellent. I hope more local people discover it. One of the best places in the local area.

Brilliant food! Proper Pub Grub! Excellent service. High Recommend. Fish and chips last night we spot on.

We have been going to the West Ashby Arms now for some months as it is one of our favourite restaurants in the area. The Friday Fish & Chips has to be seen to be believed - Incredible value for money as well as beautiful fresh fish . I would also recommend the Spicy Enchilladas .

We pre booked for a group of eight on a Saturday night, neither the pub or restaurant were busy. The atmosphere wasn't great, no warm welcome. The staff were more interested in talking to the handful of locals in there.We found our table and sat down but had to go and ask at the bar for the menus. Everything was just a bit slow and a bit slack. The main courses were good, and the waitress service picked up. Dessert menu was very limited, the menu was more cake than dessert. All in All, disappointing, we won't go back or recommend, which is a shame as its a nice pub, they could have done much better, but maybe this explains why they weren't busy on a Saturday night!

This was our first visit to the West Ashby Arms but it will definitely not be our last.The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We chose from the very reasonably priced lunch time menu and all our food was nicely presented and well cooked. The sweets were great. My husband really enjoyed his pint of Timothy Taylor's beer - the best pint he's had for quite some time!

Really friendly, welcoming staff, this is country pub is very highly recommended. Our Sunday lunch was fantastic, with loads of nice veggies to go with it and fab desserts which (I think?) are all home made. The kids' roasts were a really good size too.

We have been considering trying this for lunch when we visit our elderly aunt in Horncastle. Today we did and we are pleased. The pork loin roast was delicious. The Yorkshire pudding was very good, authentic and home made. (I'm from Yorkshire)The veg was well done and there was no shortage of gravy. Excellent welcome, great service and comfortable dining. We will definitely return!

We called in for lunch after seeing the signs outside when we drove past. We ordered from the lunch menu a main meal with tea or coffee for £6.99 we wondered how the meal would be at this low price, however we couldn't fault anything both our meals were lovely and the coffee was just how I like it. We both enjoyed a dessert which again was excellent. All the staff were friendly we wound definitely call in again.

Our first visit to the West Ashby Arms to celebrate our nieces daughters 3rd birthday, was met with a very warm welcome and felt very comfortable,food was outstanding !!!We will be revisiting again can't recommend the West Ashby Arms enough !!

My husband and I sought out this pub for lunch as it is dog friendly. We were greeted by the landlord as soon as we stepped inside the bar and made very welcome. With us having our dog with us we sat in an area off the main bar which was delightful, spotlessly clean with comfortable chairs and an open fire.We ordered two rump steak meals which came with egg peas and chips. Superb!I would recommend eating here and will revisit in the future.

My friend and i went of a jolly out to Horncastle to visit a sale we had seen advertised. On our way home we decided to stop off for some lunch, this place caught our eyes. We wasnt dissappointed. On entering the pub the person behind the bar (possibly the landlord) was very friendly and engaged us in conversation with what appeared like locals. The conversation flowed and within seconds we were all laughing and banter was fast and funny. My friend is a vegetarian so it was mostly aimed at her of which she was remotely bothered. But i have to say what an extremely friendly pub with a great atmosphere and beautiful food. I would certainly make the effort to call out that way again for something to eat and some banter. Well done

wonderful atmosphere = warm and friendly pub - ordered two T bone steak meals - Best T Bone steaK We have eaten for a long time very friendly staff and wonderful atmosphere

Having driven past the West Ashby Arms many times, we decided to pop-in for lunch with my elderly father in law and what a lovely surprise. The welcome was warm and very friendly and the lunch was outstanding and excellent value. I can't believe we've not heard about this Pub from friends; I cannot recommend it highly enough.
