Windmill Farm in North Kesteven

Great carvery & great puddings value for money

Great food at great prices. My fam and I had a Sunday roast here and were really happy with the whole experience. Only a couple of things to mention, the signage to find the carvery could be better signposted, there's not much for kids older than 5 can do (even though older kids were in the designated kids area) and the carvers could be more generous with the meat cuts. Other than that we loved it.

Food was really nice and hot. Diane and Lauren were fantastic, went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. Were very polite and professional. Always happy to come again when the service is as good as it was.

Best place for a family gathering. Food lovly, puddings massive .. service superb ;) 👍👍

Lovely place really enjoyed our family visit, on Saturday afternoon

The restaurant is nicely decorated and the singer was good but unfortunately the food was below average. Didn't taste nice at all. Overdone potato skins and the ribs where not great. Overpriced for the standard of food you receive.

Brilliant food as usual xx Service slow at clearing the tables ( not busy) staff kept disappearing. Some starter plates were still on the table when we went to leave. Pudding had to be a takeaway due to an ill child and time. Been every year, but this has not been to normal standards.

What a joy going going here is. Felicity was exceptional, as a group of us went, her , service and friendly nature made my experience well worth going.

Good hearty wholesome breakfast delivered quickly by friendly driver

Always friendly staff happy to chat and help you.

Very large group that has prebooked. All ordered separately but this meant food arrived at different times. Staff very helpful though. Food was nice, hot, tasty. Good portion size for price. Cakes were huge and amazing.

Great Carvery dinner out with the family.All the staff were spot on. Table service from Rachel was great. Merry Christmas 🎄 to them all.

Excellent service from all staff and the carvery is amazing as always

Lovely cavery, good value and super happy staff while being very busy.

Great carvery and great staff. Lunch slightly spoiled by screaming children running around & their oblivious parents.

Excellent service and quick delivery. Thank you

Best carvery in the area. Meat was so tender and at an extremely good price. Top service from Lauren as well

I took my wife for breakfast and we loved it. Special thanks to Diane who waited on us.

What a bitter disappontment this was. We visited for a buffet breakfast at 9 am and there was only one person working in front of house. The poor girl was run off her feet. We paid for our meals and were handed cold plates at the till. Probably not such a problem as the food on offer was at best luke warm. The servery looked as though it had not been attended to in a while. Three items were missing, and there was food debris on the servery. When we asked for eggs, a member of kitchen staff appeared some minutes later with freshly fried eggs. At least he also took the trouble to then check the rest of the items on offer and replace some and refresh others. It was not a good experience at all, and with plenty of competition in the area, we don't feel tge need to return here. Edited to say that everyone deserves a second chance, and we were so pleased that we returned to Windmill Farm. On arrival we received a warm and friendly welcome from Felicity. This time the plate warmer had been switched on, and the breakfast buffet was clean and fully stocked, including a lovely selection of Danish pastries. Felicity was the perfect hostess, including a check during our meal to ensure that we were happy with everything. Thanks to Felicity's engaging manner and improvement in the service and buffet standards, I have been happy to edit this review accordingly and we will be returning in a couple of weeks.

the veg was good,but all the meat was wafer thin.

Ordered carvery and cake bundle however the cakes where missing

Went for breakfast. It didn't disappoint, plenty of choice and free to go round again and top up. Staff were friendly and helpful. This will not be my last time, looking forward to having breakfast there again in the very near future. It has the advantage of being freshly cooked, and unlike at home, no need to worry about who's going to wash the dishes afterwards 😅

lovely roast dinner, could do with a bit more gravy n be a bit warmer, will order again recommended

Very disappointing, veg was too undercooked, meat was tough

food was cold meat tough will not be ordering again

Nice food, did a refill tea, but took it all away before I could get another which was disappointing. Lauren was very helpful and attentive

First time to this venue as we couldn't get in our usual local and we were pleasantly surprised. Had a good meal and staff generally friendly. A little noisy with the kids area but as long as they kept that end it wasn't too bad.

Great food, lovely staff, great price. Would be great to see refillable hot drinks !!

food came fast but unfortunately it was stone cold which let it down

Burger bun burnt, no bacon, ordered 9 chicken wings only six delivered

Farmhouse inns are always good for carvery However on this occasion we were placed in a large function room which was very noisy and full of young children racing around This was after we booked for adult dining .

Excellent meeting point and nice selective meals

Friendly and welcoming staff, asked where we was travelling from and actually listen , nice and cosy seating area your not squished together , carvery was delicious!

Arrived early for the carvery, only a short wait whilst food was being prepared after breakfast. Great quality carvery for the price and a very good selection of veg for vegetarians and vegans. Our server Lauren was extremely helpful and very friendly. She jumped on the till to serve us when no one was around. I visited with an individual I support and she was patient and made him feel very welcome, it's not often you get service like this and this was very appreciated.

Very well looked after thank you Diane.

Food was amazing but I selected a scheduled delivery and it was 45 minutes late

Lovely food, great staff we had a fantastic experience thanks

I was on holiday from America. To say the food was delicious would be an understatement. My friends and I had the carvery. Very professional, polite, and helpful carvers. The meats were tasty and tender. The side dishes were hot, fresh, and equally delicious. I highly recommend Windmill Farm.

Service at bar and carvery was slow, food was cooked, veggies a bit over done and soggy especially the cauliflower cheese, and the food was warm not piping hot when we got it to the table. Definitely room for improvement

I had chicken melody which was lovely as was the others of the main menu but half of us had the roast the meat was tough & veg hard , very disappointed sorry

Perfectly adequate carvery, plenty of choice, let down by poor yorkies and flavourless roasties. If you can overlook that then this is a good option.

Windmill farm Lincoln just like to say Lauren was so helpful and curtious we had a little bay with us and she made sure we wanted for nothing ❤️

Always enjoy coming to windmill farm. It’s got a warm cozy, homely atmosphere and the staff are always happy and polite. We both had the carvery and it was great, as always. Rachel was our waitress and was extremely helpful and kind. It was nice to see her meeting everybody’s needs and asking if their food was alright. We will be back v soon.

Came for a wedding. Upon first arrival, it didn't seem great. Some much needed repairs are long overdue. Specifically, the leaking roof in the event room. This caused issues the night before for setting up and the day of the wedding. However, the staff were so helpful, so friendly and so kind. The wedding breakfast... chefs kiss 😘👌 Such a fantastic menu, executed perfectly. Honestly, my expectations were low, but they were superceded. Overall, a lovely day with great food and attentive staff.

Staff were lovely. In particular Felicity. Meat. Vegetables. All excellent and really good value for money. Lost one star as there's no accounting for my disappointment (hahahha😂) when I ordered the giant éclair - only to find it was the most rank, cheap cream. Not real cream. Yuck. Truthfully - a dessert half the size with real cream would have been a winner. Made me feel sick. See before photo in anticipation and the after pic of me having realised I'd been duped hahahhaha xx Thanks to the staff though. We'll probably go back xx

Reasonable food for a chain but the service is fantastic, really friendly and welcoming staff. Not only that but when we left our car keys on the table one of the team ran out to chase us down, thank you!

Amazing food and service,. atmosphere is great. We come every Sunday for a delicious meal!

mainly watched the driver sit at the restaurant, no wonder my food was cold when it turned up

The carvery is very good very nice Free icecream for kids

Unfortunately this was a full on disaster today. I'm not much a fan of being given a table rather than picking where we'd like to sit, and the table were shown to up against the partition by the carvery area was far too small for four people. When our food came we were forced to put the menu block with the condiments on the floor under the table so we had at least some room for plates. Hot plates is a good idea for the carvery - not thinking about customers having to carry them back to their table and burning their hands is less so. My 'fish supper' had cold chips, and peas that were more grey than green. Fish was good, to be fair, but the two slices of farmhouse bread I was served was definitely cut some considerable time prior to it being given to me - it was stale hard. The crowning fail was the curry sauce pot, which had separated and congealed - completely inedible. At least I'll have a super cake slice to finish our meal with, I thought, just before I found out that apparently Farmhouse Inns had decided to discontinue the Red Velvet cake. Hugely disappointed, really poor experience today

Staff and atmosphere were great. Nice to see smiling staff from when you enter to when you leave. Unfortunately, the beef on the carvery let the meals down, it could not have been slow cooked for 14 hours, as advertised as it was pink and very chewy.

Great breakfast. Diane was great she arrived at work and straight to work

Our breakfast experience at Windmill Farm Restaurant in Lincoln was absolutely delightful! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. Diane, our server, was a shining star! Her service was impeccable, and her skills in ensuring our breakfast was perfect were truly impressive. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, creating the perfect atmosphere for catching up with friends over a delicious meal. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served with attention to detail. Dessert shelf is probably best stocked one in Lincoln. We highly recommend Windmill Farm Restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic breakfast experience in Lincoln. And a special shoutout to Diane for making our visit truly memorable with her exceptional service and skills! We'll definitely be back for more. Ask for Diane, she will look after you.

Unlimited breakfast Good choice Staff very helpful (Diane) Unlimited tea Great price Stuffed

Fantastic fresh carvery & service as always! Staff are always extremely polite and helpful… always showing respect and making you feel very welcome. Diane is a lovely member of the team & is always ready to make sure you’re well cared for. We are regular visitors & have visited our local windmill farm countless times over the years and never once had anything to complain about. Always 10/10 service & food! :)

Absolutely lovely food and staff especially Diane she was so helpful

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Good food at a reasonable price

Diane's service was excellent, she was very polite and so were the other servers who checked on us. Also Craig's service was wonderful which made the atmosphere even better and he was so accommodating when seating us.

Diane was extremely helpful and friendly. Atmosphere was great even in the childrens area and the food was absolutely top notch. 10/10 would recommend, will be back next time we're down this way.

Always a lovely atmosphere, helpful and friendly staff and lovely food..highly recommend

From moment of arrival all staff were courteous and attentive, food was hot tasty great portions all together a great experience

Price is good. Food can be hit and miss. But when it's busy I get flashbacks from getting kettled at Sheff Wednesday away in 2009

Great place. atmosphere was good. Carvery was wonderful with plenty of options on the deck. Highly recommend.

food is absolutely amazing and packed nicely. not just all thrown in there. delivery was speedy as well. one of the restaurant employees also called me to let me know the meat I ordered might not be ready and gave me options on how what I could choose to do. woukd definitely recommend.

Absolutely phenomenal service from a lovely lady called Flick. I cannot thank her enough for her attentiveness and really going above and beyond for absolutely everything. She remembered us from months ago too which was really nice. She took things to our table for us when she didn't need to, ensured we had everything we needed and also got things for us that weren't even out (cinnamon rolls & Nutella) and took them personally to our table. I really cannot thank her enough. My partner and I will DEFINITELY be returning for the amazing breakfast and even more amazing service from this lovely lady. I even asked what days she works so we can come back on a day shes on! If I could given it 6 stars for both the food and the service, I would!

Food was good and plentiful. Looking at other tables very little waste went back to the kitchen. Waitress ( Rachel) exceptionally good and quick. Clearing plates off empty tables, checking we were ok and if we needed anything else.

Excellent service Food was really nice and very clean tables & cutlery, Rachel was especially friendly, helpful and attentive.

Stopped here for an unplanned visit. Was made to feel very welcome by Chelsea and the rest of the team. Had 2 of the £8.99 deals and they didn't disappoint at all. Carvery meats very tender and cooked very nicely. Will definitely make the most of them again. Can't add photos as we were too busy eating the food.

Carvery food not hot especially vegetables. Gammon and egg good.

Felicity Is one of the best staff members very friendly and helpful and the food is very nice for what u get and great price hope u can get her one of the best place for to get a carvery and the cake or out of the world

Good quality food, great carvery, excellent friendly staff.

I went with my wife for lunch. We chose from the Set Menu and had Fish and Chips which were excellent. Our waitress was Rachel who did a fantastic job.

Very good food, not overly priced and friendly staff

very poor food staff are disgusting how they speak to customers

wonderful food cooked ti perfection with quick arrival

Perhaps we visited on a bad day, but the food was below average, the service was really slow, regardless of it not being overly busy and I have to admit this was a poor choice for once. Hey ho lesson learned

Staff are friendly and helpful. The food ( carvery ) was very good. Thank you to all concerned

Extremely popular location with locals. Establishment fairly busy with popular carvery. Food selection in terms of vegetables limited about 6 choices of potatoes, turnips and green beans. The cake display was the centre stage for dessert. Experienced staff more willing to serve those who are not local.

Yet again only two meals on offer. Had to wait for the 3rd choice ova an hour after food was being served.

Lovely lady Diane very appreciative and free ice cream for kiddies

Very kind staff, we had 4 young children with us, one with disabilities the staff were so king and helpful

Great meal, service and atmosphere! Thanks to Diane who has looked after us today!

Excellent fast delivery and excellent breakfast. Thanks

Slow service at the bar ordering food, also find on too many occasions with places that serve carveries is having hot food put on Cold plates.

Lovely afternoon with my friends and our children, nice little play bit to keep them entertained and chilled atmosphere! Diane was also fab serving us too, efficient, friendly and overall lovely!

Lovely food and atmosphere, great waitress Di 😃

Visited on a very busy Sunday, but everything ran smoothly, and the staff were fantastic. Scott was and always is very helpful and pleasant. We had the carvery and all the meat was perfectly cooked at a good price.

Excellent place to meet up with family, and enjoy the good range of food on offer. It was very busy so would suggest pre-booking a table

Excellent carvery and excellent value. Selection of cakes unbelievable. However I want to specifically mention Mollie on the service staff team. She went beyond to ensure we had a good experience. She was attentive, upbeat and smiley. If I opened a restaurant I would be head hunting her, thanks Mollie, a credit to the organisation.

Diane jumped us straight away and showed us the deals which was great, she gave me and my partner one of the best table service we’ve had in a long time, very customer friendly, the food is lovely and omg the cake slices are huuugggeee!!! We’ve had to box for takeaway, will definitely be coming back.

Good sized wholesome breakfast delivered and well presented in containers. Couldn't fault the portion size or the quality of the food. Delivered promptly by friendly delivery driver

Diane offered super service today

Lovely food. The pub was clean. We was served by Diane, she was friendly and happy to help.

Great welcome when we arrived.service and food was excellent and good value for money. Waitress Dianne was lovely

Carvery wasn’t very warm,Yorkshire puddings were cold, and it says lashings of gravy ,it’s not enough to cover the meat never mind the rest of it , basically not worth £16.50

Ate here several times over a 3 week period. Breakfast, lunch and dinners. Carvery is exceptional. Breakfast buffet is excellent. Ask for felicity, fantastic service and always with a smile.

I ordered this 4 my mum who can't see the driver would not give her dinner without the code 😑

I don’t normally leave reviews, but feel the need after today’s experience. The staff have been incredible from the moment we came in. Lovely greeting at the door, bar staff very friendly and Tim, who looked after us at our table was very attentive and super friendly to me and my family. Carvery was great. The pudding was huge and tasty. Thanks for a great Sunday dinner experience.

The staff here were amazing, everyone was friendly but special thanks to Tim who checked in on us regularly and looked after the kids needs. The carvery was all really nice, the vegetables were fresh and hot, everything was cooked well and tasty. We’ll definitely be back!

Quick delivery and great service. Thanks
