Windsor Cafe in East Lindsey

Had a couple of roasts today which came with free desserts. Meal was lovely, fresh, hot, just what you expect. We was really happy with that.....but....half an hour after leaving we realised we had left a bag behind. Money, cards, car keys, medication, all stuff hard to replace when on holiday. We returned to the Windsor and the lady who was serving, cleaning etc said she saw the bag as soon as we left, so put it safe behind the counter. Panic over. We can't thank you enough xxx

Ordered a giant breakfast, nothing giant about it! Mushrooms massively undercooked and sausages were burnt to a crisp. If you want a proper breakfast best of walking up the road

Went to this Cafe, with family. My Grandson wanted 2 eggs on toast,, when i asked can we have 1 white and 1 brown, the lady who looked miserable said no. I asked why, she said, that is classed as 2 meals. Was so confused, it was only a different slice of bread.Apparently it was the managers/ owners ideas. What a stupid thing to do, as i said only a slice of bread. Will not be coming to this cafe ever again

Great family run cafe always friendly helpful and very affordable treatment was with the upmost respect I rate them a 5 out of 5

Don’t watste your money overpriced cheapest of cheap sausage that we’re deep fried deep fried. lady taking orders sour faced will NOT be comming back again.

Hubby and I are fussy when it comes to sausages and bacon and we can honestly say we were not disappointed with our breakfast. I'm fussy about coffee and my Americano was really nice. Lovely clean restaurant, friendly staff, really nice food and drinks. Definitely recommend.

Great food, quickly served and piping hot! Reasonably priced and discounted breakfasts if you don’t make any order changes! Great!! Really enjoyed and we will be back!

Came in today to order some food to take out I was disappointed to get home to realise they forgot to put on my egg with the rest of my food and that I had been charged for it but mistakes do happen which I understand and overall it was nice food

Visited this cafe this morning 25/06/22 for breakfast as our going home breakfast as a family of eight. Cafe is very clean, I had the belly buster breakfast which included 3 of everything plus black pudding,hash browns and mushrooms the wife had the jumbo breakfast which included 2 of everything . Toast and drinks were not included but that’s the same im many places now . Service was was pretty quick and breakfast was very high quality and I would highly recommend to anyone would certainly visit again next time we’re down in ingoldmells

We initially walked into a cafe up the road which had a quite a queue inside so I presume the food must be nice, but when handed a menu it said in large letters WE DO NOT DEVIATE FROM THE MENU. Well, I like a bit of deviation so that was no good for us. Having walked into the main Ingoldmells village we came across Windsors cafe which looked nice and bright from the inside. Having been instructed by my daughter that she did not want Lincolnshire sausages (despite being in Lincolnshire!!), I was glancing around at peoples plates to check for pork sausages - which they were so all good. I ordered the large breakfast but did a bit of deviating and ordered a hash brown in addition. No problem. The breakfast didn’t come with any tea or toast so they were also added. Daughter had sausage and tomato bap with freshly squeezed orange which was lovely. Tea served in its own pot which was a nice touch. Food arrived and was piping hot. Daughters bap could have done with a few more tomatoes on as it was a little dry, as could my breakfast but overall it was lovely. The place was lovely and clean inside, all cutlery clean and you can see into the kitchens which are also spotless. For one breakfast and one sandwich it came to £13.95 which is a little pricey but that’s because the tea and toast are extras, whereas here in my home town they are included in the cost of the breakfast. But, it’s the seaside and I expected to pay that little bit more. The menu looked extensive and I believe they do dinners in addition to breakfast. Overall, great experience and we will be back.

For the past 10years we have been coming to Skegness every day for breakfast we have been coming to this lovely cafe, amazing atmosphere, great service and the best food you have ever tasted, I mean the sausages are to die for🙈 get yourself down you will not be disappointed!

We went out for family dinner it was nice food is a good quality and price and staff are friendly and helpful two

Id leave zero stars if I could doesn’t even deserve one. One of the most rude and arrogant restaurant owners I’ve ever came across. We was in a group of 10 and he was rude to every single one of us. No people skills what so ever, and spoke to his staff disgusting. How this man even has a business still is beyond me. Would not reccomend to anyone, and would never go there again. If I were you I’d avoid this place and go somewhere where they appreciate your custom and the money you spend within their venue.

Found the staff friendly, helpful and overall worth the money, only got a breakfast there and was lovely

I have never met a more Rude unprofessional man in retail in all my life he really should not be there

I believe it was the owner who served us, we first stood there waiting to be served and was totally ignored until we said we want to order some food. The whole attitude of the guy was off and he was so unbelievably rude to us, talked to us as if we were children. They need to take a look at there menu as its so confusing and doesn't make sense at all. For example, pictures of steak and ale pie served but no mention of it on the menu anywhere, we questioned this to be told "well which one am i looking at we do 3". The food wasn't particularly great, they advertise fresh home made food which was clearly a pre bought pie. Not impressed and won't be returning!

We have been going there fir many years andd we have had perfect service, perfect meals and a good chat with ,the owner. We will be returning again the next break we get

I used this cafe for breakfast in 1996 for breakfast with friends and this is the first ive visited since. The gentleman who tuns the cafe ia a really nice guy very charismatic. The setup has been thoughtfully done to cope with the Covid 19 climate. Staff are very pleasant and approach the customer with in a very welcoming way. The foods is fresh and high quality for a reasonable price. I had mixed fish platter, scampi, fish goujons, and fish cake,with bread and butter. Im a big eater and had plenty. The puddings were lovely I had apple pie and it contained big pieces of apple, again very good quality. One thing I really liked was cold coke in a glass bottle. Thank you for a lovely meal, ill be back certainly quicker than 24 years.

We visited last week, just for coffee and cake which were delicious by the way, I had apple pie with custard, it came piping hot, nice thick custard and plenty of it. My friend had jam sponge pudding with cream which she said was also delicious. The cleanliness and brightness of decor in this restaurant is first class. Everything matches tables, blinds, lights walls etc, looks like a much loved business. While the owner wasn’t one of the happy chappy brigade he was polite and professional. The place wasn’t very busy being late afternoon but the people who were being served meals couldn’t have had any complaints judging by the amount of food on their plates, and it all looked lovely too.

This review is for a family of 2 adults and 2 children.Plus points, the kids enjoyed there meals, 1 had the breakfast and the other had scampi, both from the adult menu's. I can confirm the bacon was good for the breadfast meal.Minus points - The Lasagne was dry, in fact I've never had a drier lasagne, there was no sauce at all. The other adult had cottage pie, this was spoiled by too much black pepper. I know it's becoming a custom to add black pepper to everything, and we didn't ask, but it spoiled the dinner completely.As has been previously mentioned, the veg are all tinned, the drinks were acceptable. Pop and milkshakes and a cappuccino.It was quite expensive in the end for what we had £35 for 4 meals and 4 drinks (kids only had small drinks, or if they were full size, the drinks are really small too).A rating of 2, with stars lost for the poor dinners and price.If you go I would stick to the obviously frozen items, such as scampi, or the tinned / can't go wrong items like the breakfast.

This restaurant is becoming one of my regulars/favourites Never fails to offer great food and great prices with excellent service. Will be back.

Walked in and their were no customers. 5 members of staff around and none of them bothered to greet you with a hello which I thought was rather rude. I ordered a Sunday lunch and a normal breakfast. The bacon was very hard and the portion for money was very poor. However the Sunday lunch was enjoyable. Also the young lad that was working behind the counter used his fingers to move another customers food around on the plate which is not acceptable.

The cafe looked clean & well laid out, beautiful desserts on display. The food tasted nice but so expensive for what you get, breakfast doesn't include toast, so by the time you get your toast & coffee on top it cost 2/3 more than anywhere else I've eaten breakfast. The biggest let down was the miserable middle aged man behind the counter who was bordering on rude the way he spoke. Get some customer service skills or swap places with the youngsters who were cleaning the tables, they were courteous & friendly.

been coming here years the food is lovely the prices are cheap the staff is very friendly what more could you want ? the kids love coming here

very clean and staff friendly, 3 sizes of dinners to choose, nice cooked meats and fresh veg came piping hot also a pudding / sweet included with the price, we make a point of going in each time we go to skeggy 2/3 times a year, recommend the Windsor Cafe to anyone

Visited this cafe Saturday morning as a party of 7 (family members). Disappointed isn't the word. Portion sizes/price left us wanting. We'd had better breakfast on all counts at the Tower Cafe in Skegness a few days previously.And to cap out all off 4 out of 7 of us had upset stomachs for the rest of the day We will not be visiting again or recommending it to any that ask us!

We came in here because we were going to candles but they were closed .My husband wanted a dinner so we both had them .I wanted Lamb but was told they don't do lamb in a small size so I had the beef .On a board outside it states that all the meat is cooked in house but I beg to differ .The dinners came out and I took one look and could guess what my husband was thinking .The dinner consists of 3small potatoes tinned carrots and peas a Yorkshire pud that had been frozen.and some meat that was as far away from being home cooked as it is gets .We couldn't eat the peas as they weren't even good quality .The young man who brought the dinners out said "mind the plates as they are hot "that was totally untrue the plates were barely warm .The best part of the meal was the apple pie for dessert , that at least was nice . The people who say these meals are good obviously don't know what a good dinner is .I suggest that they go around the corner to candles ,they do a lovely meal at a reasonable price

Our second visit to sample the Sunday meals. Definitely not disappointed. Choice of sizes plus a free dessert ! Great food at great prices. Clean and friendly environment. Will be making this cafe a regular placed to eat.

This cafe advisers freshly made food but it’s all frozen foods as I work in a cafe myself so I no the tastes the mash potatoes was instant mash the veg is tinned the Yorkshire puddings was frozen ones the roast was taken out of freezers as we saw her do that. The bloke behind the counter handing cakes with no gloves and wiping is noes with is hand and then carried on handling cakes without washing them kitchen staff handling food with no gloves would not be visiting this cafe anytime soon how it’s got a 5 star rating must have bin blind

We called for drinks and ended up having something to eat as well. The food was very nice and the lattes actually tasted of coffee unlike some places. The prices seemed reasonable as well.

I live in Ingoldmells, and have visited Windsor's on numerous occasions with my wife! never had a bad meal! the staff are really friendly and very efficient! and the cafe is very clean and spacious, highly recommend!

This was one of the worst breakfasts I have seen, very cheap sausages that were never meat and deep fried, served all curly. Beans were cold and smallest portions ever. Complained and got a refund as couldn't face eating any of it.

PLEASE supply good quality sausages these are AWFUL ..a nice breakfast but terrible sausages Blackeman supreme are required !! will return but sausages need to be replaced and toilets cleaned please

great cafe various meals had jumbo breakfast great value for money best breakfast great staff well worth a visit

Popesd in for a snack and ended up having a roast dinner.

Really wanted a lunch with vegetables & gravy, beautifully presented, delicious food. Plenty of choice in size of roasts as well as choice, a free sweet offered & all looked tempting, We had roast pork & lamb-small & medium aswell as delicious trifles. Will eat here again. Many thanks

Been here only 3times but the food is really nice and the staff are friendly. It’s an order and pay at the counter type of place which is generally the norm. The guy on the till is very jovial and gives good banter rating me a 7/10 due to me not getting any cutlery etc lol. Will keep visiting as it’s a great place in a good location.

The staff so frindey and food is a+++++++++ recommed for breakfast and dinner and its the best cafe going will defo come here again and again

Visted as in the area. wanted a dinner found this place from walking past. The food was lovely, had the club sandwich and fish cake meal. Meals where presented very well. All at a good price. The staff here are very friendly and welcoming. Worth a visit

Great cafe with nice friendly people, the double stack beef burger (my favourite) is absolutly amazing from here! Would definitely tel you to try it! Such a good selection of food, drink and desserts really comfy seats and the people are just so nice and friendly! Will definitely recccomend this cafe to all my friends who are/ will be in the area!

Nice cafe to eat from a selection of drinks and food. Not too expensive ideal for a half hour break whilst having some time out from the rides

Lovely friendly cafe, good food and service. Large portions, happy friendly staff. Would definitely return and recommend.

Popped in for Breakfast Sunday 25 Feb 2018 Real friendly service, Good value breakfast, good choice too from small to belly buster, we had small breakfasts delicious ... Fresh local food clean and pleasant, on a cold sunny morning the sunshine was real pleasant they had just fitted new double glazing so it was real pleasant to sit and watch the World go by.

Loved this cafe because they allowed dogs in as long as you sat them under the table and didn't feed them,

We called into the Windsor Cafe on the final day of our break for a bit of lunch as we had seen that the roast meal was good value. It was far better than we could have expected! On top of that "good value meal" we were given a free desert which was very nice indeed. I would recommend this cafe to anyone who like nice food.

Cade here for a cuppa and cake. Lovely friendly welcome, clean and airy cafe. Very good coffee and cakes

Had never been in before but was a lovely little cafe with great prices. We had the roast with which you got a free desert lovely little touch. the hot chocolate was very nice too. :)

Great little cafe been here season after season serves lovely food and desserts, friendly staff and quick service. Looks also like they've had a little refurb so seats are comfier and looks up to date

Called in for breakfast this morning and made to feel very welcome - even free car parking outside.

Food was ok the double burgers i had was very very greasy but nice my partner had shepherds pies the runner beans where very watery ..... the main reason what it only gets a 3 is because of the cleanliness disgusting flys dead on all Windows cob webs every where carpet has seen better days .... was ok would not rush back though

We stayed in Ingoldmells for the week and this was one of the nearest cafes to us that served breakfast so we thought we'd try it out.

We've been coming here for the last two years for breakfast and dinner occasionally always nice food good service definitely recommend and also is fit friendly

Driving past I spotted the cafe and it had parking down the side I stopped.

What a great place to have breakfast !

Visiting family in the area, a sunny day out in prospect . Jacket spuds tasty too, even a roast dinner. Good hot food friendly service. A good pick that set us up for the day.

Came down for the weekend and popped in Sunday for some food.i had a Sunday dinner and my partner had a breakfast.the Sunday dinner was lovely,I had the roast beef and my partner said the breakfast was as good,in fact we went back Monday morning for breakfast before we went home.shall definitely be returning.

I've been here numerous times but never left a review - the service and food is always good, the place is very clean and doesn't smell of fat etc...

Been coming here years but never actually been in this cafe,

arrived at lunch time wife needed meds first cafe we got to nice big clean and scooter allowed in ordered liver&onions; as i hadnt had that for ages got loads with mash&3veg wife ordered roast dinner beef or turkey and you got a free dessert well worth it only down fall was the toilets not very clean forgot to tell owner but carnt fault the service 4*** will go again

Visited this cafe on more than one occasion for cooked breakfast. It is very clean with large indoor seating area and has additional seating outside (dog friendly).

A group of us went to the windsor for lunch . We were greeted well the place was clean and the food was good . Not overpriced and a fair amount on your plate . Give it a try and make your own decision

I visited here last time I was in Ingoldmells and thought I'd try them again and have something completely different.

Stopped here for breakfast, and boy what a breakfast, excellent quality, piping hot, a PLENTY of it, well presented by friendly staff in a clean and tidy restaurant . Well worth trying if your in the area.

Came here to escape the rain and have a pit stop, on arrival the queue was long so we joined it.. Looking at the menu I could see it was quite pricey and I was just going to have a glass of coke until the lady in front of me ordered one and the man disappeared in to the back and was pouring it out of a bottle and charging something obscure for it.. I changed my mind.. The man was also very rude and this may have something to do with the fact they only had 3 staff on that day like he kept on saying in a huff and puff mood. When it was our turn to be served my boyfriend asked if the cake he wanted contained nuts (Almonds) to which we got the answer of I don't know I would go and get the box to show you but as you can see there are only 3 of us on today and we are very busy!! Not very professional and it is the law to be told if it could cause allergies.

Food wasn't nice at all and very expensive charged £1.50 for cheese to go with a portion of chip that was already £2.50 won't be returning

as ive put above a great place to come before your holiday starts we come every every year for are food it might cost a little more than most places in ingoldmells but id rather pay a little more and taste good than have some thing from else were and be horrible great place

visited recently with a friend, mum and grandma, was nice food for a reasonable price but the thing that stands out most is how friendly and polite the staff were. very nice place and will definitely go again when in the area

I've visited this cafe a few times this week because not only is the food good, the staff are great too. They made me feel very welcome and advised me on certain foods as I have a few intolerances. It's great to be able to go somewhere and find foods I can actually eat.

Visited here today, staff were very pleasant, couldn't of asked for better service. Food was served quickly and was to a high standard. Would definitely return here again and would highly recommend to anyone visiting Ingoldmels

Visited here with my elderly father. he lives in Skegness and we decided to have a cooked breakfast without the hassle of cooking it. He had a 'normal' and I decided to have the 'Giant'. The staff were friendly and the meal came very quickly but...

Jumbo breakfast is about the same size as most other casé normal breakfast. Food quality was very standard. No toast or tea included, the rest of the café have at least toast. On a positive note the place clean.

We've been to windsors several times for breakfasts, lunches & afternoon tea, we find the food to be excellent my 2 & 3 yr old grandchildren eat with us, the staff are very cheerfull and friendly we would highly recommend a visit

friendly staff, excellent food, whether you want breakfast dinner or tea, a delicious selection of cakes and ice creams! my boys love it! highly recommend! also a small area for children to play in

Stopped for a drink. I had a coke, when I got it, it was a glass smaller than a 330 ml can and charged a cheeky £1.30. Apparently poured from a £1.85 1.75 litre bottle, put me off ordering food a bit.

Hot and well cooked breakfast ,service great staff were very accommodating and friendly live local and never been before but had family up so will be back in the near furture

Lovely food... excellent service and very clean. Mouth watering ice cream choices to try and get here before 11 30 to get a pound off the belly buster breakfast .

The staff were friendly and accommodating. There was a variety of food offered no matter what the time of day. Meals were what we expected thanks

The food was cold and not really what I asked for. There was no consideration for customers as they left the door open, some of the customers had to move or put their coats on because it was that cold. Overall terrible experience, won't be coming here again.

We visited the Windsor Cafe last year and we loved the food and the welcome. We spent a weekend at the coast and visited again. I had the belly buster breakfast, not for the faint hearted! Bacon, eggs, sausages, black puddiing, fresh mushrooms , hash browns, beans and tomatoes. In fact it was what wasnt on the breakfast. The waiting time was short and the meal hot. Certainly one our favourite eating place on the coast.

We visited this cafe for breakfast this morning and found it excellent value for money. The staff were very friendly and polite, and the food was excellent quality.

very friendly staff lovely smiles great cooked food plenty to choose from the menu's everywhere clean spotless we shall return

I have recently been a couple of time and stopped here for drink and food.

Skegness was my family holiday every year when I was a little girl. Haven't been for about 7 years so I thought I would see if this place was still as good as it was. Omg it was tasted delious it's definitely the best breakfast in ingoldmells good prices lovely clean and welcoming place. Definitely will be going back might try something from the dinner menu next time

Went for a drink yesterday what a lovely couple!! So friendly and so helpful even though 1 of us broke menu holder offerd to pay for it but they said no !! We went today had couple roast dinners and the desserts, by the way desserts are free with roast dinner..the whole meal was second too none,in fact 1 of us who hadn't eaten a full dinner like that in 3yrs cleared her plate plus dessert, that for me is worth a 10 rating!! As for the staff pleasant and polite, as for being clean it was perfect!! We will see you again very soon!! Thank you.

We visited whilst on a trip to Ingoldmells, we only popped in for a drink but I must say that the food that was being served looked excellent, especially the roast dinners. Whilst queuing my eye were drawn to the sweet counter which also looked delicious. When we are there next year we will definately try the food.

I have always been disappointed with the food round Ingoldmells, so I thought I would have a look at trip advisor and look at reviews.

Me and my family stayed in Ingoldmells for a little holiday and stumbled across this Cafe. It looked clean and inviting, the owner and the staff were so friendly and welcoming and doesn't rush you to finish your meal as we have two young kids and takes forever to eat haha. We cannot fault the service and we received the food at our table within 5 minutes. The food was fantastic value for money and was one of the best roast dinners we have ever had, the desserts were to die for i.e. Chocolate Bomb. The fact it had a little lego table for kids to keep them occupied was brilliant. They also thought about tourist be selling ice-creams, gift fudge and toffee and sticks of rock at a very reasonable price (cheaper then most of the places around there) This is a 5* Cafe where you are made to feel welcome and at home. We would highly recommend this place to anybody in the surrounding areas or going on holiday who would like great cooked food without the hassle of doing it yourself, in a nice calm, clean and friendly environment. We will definitely be visiting on our yearly trip to Ingoldmells.

Went on Sunday for lunch, really enjoyed it. That much we took 2 back as take away dinners for my parents. Thanks

We went to Skegness for our family holiday.we found a lovely restaurant in ingelmells close to fantasy island which was very clean and tidy and the staff were lovely and very welcoming.we are a family of nine and we went to this restaurant everyday.we didn't have to wait long for food which was excellent service has there were nine of us.they even allowed our dogs in which was great.we highly recommend this restaurant.two of us are coming back on the 29th for the weekend and we are definitely going there for dinner.thanks

We have been eating at this cafe since 1976 whenever we have been on holiday in Ingoldmells and we cannot fault the meals or the service, real home from home meals. We highly recommend this cafe for either a meal or snack.

We popped in on the 11th August for a quick bite and to feed our 4 month old. The service was fast and efficient the food we ordered was on the table in 5mins and for what we needed was just enough to suffice good value for money and plenty of choices on the menu would visit again

My family came to Skegness for a yearly holiday and we found this lovely cafe not far from fantasy island. The owners were so kind and welcoming we went every night !! The food was amazing and catered for everyone ! I was very impressed with the allergy awareness and was so pleased with all the meals we had, The selection of deserts and ice cream Sunday's won us over completely so many flavours and was presented beautifully. Even a free car park for customers which is perfect !! we shall be recommending to all our friends and huge thank you !! from us all especially my little girl she can't wait to come back and neither can we !!! X

Nice welcome, good food, nothing more to say. You get a free sweet with the roast beef, loads to choose from.

Value For Money, Clean & tidy, Lovely Food, Friendly Staff. Would recommend and would definately visit again

Been going here since we was little kids. No trip to ingoldmells would be the same without us visiting here for breakfast!

Very clean cafe ,cutlery everything spotless, staff pleasant efficient service, breakfast adequate for our needs, can recommend .

The food is basic and the quality of the breakfast ingredients on the cheaper side & a little tasteless, that said if you fancy a basic breakfast and don't want to pay too much its worth a try.

Needed to find a café before having a day at Butlins and the Windsor Café was a perfect choice. Lovely and clean, very friendly and funny staff, accommodating all our different breakfast request for a family of 5 and most of all the food served was lovely.
