Ye Old Bridge Inn in South Holland

The Olde bridge Inn never let's you down Les and Kev are the perfect hosts serving delicious fresh home cooked food in a great atmosphere The best pub by a mile Highly recommend

What an absolute gem. The Bridge is a throw back to a by-gone age of life on the fens. It is the perfect anti-bistro pub full of retro character that might challenge your perception of what a good pub is (I'm not going to spoil the surprise 😊). But it is the best hospitality and food I've had from any pub in a decade. The Sunday roast was incredible with multiple meat options and a rainbow of vegetables, you know it's going to be good when they say 'don't worry you can have a mix of meat' 😍 All the staff were so welcoming and chatty to us (loved the apron 😂) and with young kids nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for your kind and fun hospitality we will be back 👍

Wonderful food and lots of it 👌 Great atmosphere, staff very helpful. We sat in Witchy Corner, a total delight, and well worth a visit. You might even spot Alice.... Who the **** is Alice? I hear you cry 🤔😅🤔 go and you might find out......

Sunday lunch fantastic. Staff so friendly and welcoming. Lovely old fashioned pub. Beams on ceiling. Warm pub. Serve fantastic.

Cozy local, Sunday lunch was lovey

Lovely atmosphere, food was delicious especially the cauliflower cheese (highly recommend as the side to share) and the jam sponge. Thankyou x

Our first time eating here and will certainly return. We had the most delicious roast dinner, the cauliflower cheese was the best I have ever had! Our waitresses made us feel welcome and catered to our every need. Great atmosphere and great food 🥰 look forward to next time!

A remarkable genuine pub. Had been past several times but always when closed! Determined to go I n last weekend and was stunned at the depth of welcome. So I rolled up for the pub quiz every fortnight on a Thursday,with homemade chilli. Lovely locals,extremely welcoming. Sensible prices. A fabulous find. I do not suspect any locals have webbed feet,which was the medieval saying.

Stopped here by chance as we were hungry and the sat nav route took us nearby. Glad we did the warmest of welcomes from the landlord and the food was great quality served with a really friendly approach. May well take a deliberate detour next time we make this trip!

Absolutely amazing pub to go to. The landlords are warm, inviting and friendly as are the locals who frequent the pub. The food is amazing, I have eaten there a few times and cannot fault it whatsoever. Will definitely be a regular for me.

I was so impressed with this pub. I have been a few times and the landlords have always been very friendly and welcoming. The locals are lovely and invite you to seat with them. The food has been amazing every time. I took my 5 children in yesterday and they loved it, they loved all of the Halloween decorations and again locals were very inviting and friendly.

A very enjoyable Sunday lunch when went for a friend's birthday from the area who are fortunate to live close by. Would certainly return when we are in the area again as was a proper traditional & very filling lunch very filling, fortunately had just enough room for an Eton mess each to finish. Very attentive & friendly staff encountered

Once again an outstanding home cooked excellent Sunday Lunch. Tasty, beautifully cooked and served meal. Thank you!

Entering the car park which is a dumping ground for general rubbish,cars,sofas etc was are first red flag,we considered not entering but I said to the missus it maybe a hidden gem. We all had roast lamb which taste less and fatty,parsnips burnt.We paid £4.95 for cauliflower and cheese for two to share which consisted of four small florets which tasted like a packet cheese mix. We left very unsatisfied and won’t never return or recommend. This my first negative review I’ve ever written as we like to travel far and wide in search of a Sunday roast.

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Fantastic traditional pub.

What a lovely, friendly pub! Fantastic home-cooked Sunday roast, so fresh and really tasty. Would definitely recommend going for a chilled out Sunday afternoon. Will definitely be going back and bringing my family when they come to visit.

As always a fantastic visit. Friendly, sociable company, great ales very well kept, excellent home made affordable food.

The most welcoming, warm and wonderful pub for miles. Owners are super friendly and the pub itself is clean and beautifully quirky. Food is amazing, drinks and food both reasonably priced. Simply can't recommend the bridge Inn highly enough ❤️

Best Sunday lunch ever, staff very attentive, couldn't do enough for us. If you want Lamb, best mention when booking, goes really quickly. Lovely friendly atmosphere, highly recommended

Attended quiz night at this lovely little pub with friends. A great quiz but even better was the stunning Chilli and Rice dish that I had. My wife had the Chicken Korma and she loved it. We've booked in for Sunday lunch. Can't wait, based...

The bridge inn is dirty and smells damp the landlord is rude and unless you are into swinging i thoroughly recommend don't go here

Excellent food, sadly no longer do lunch.

A fantastic Sunday lunch again.

Fantastic atmosphere - welcoming all to the "family". A good selection of real ales and superb home cooked food. A fun quiz every other Thursday and frequent music and theme nights.

Amazing food best Sunday lunch ever had,must come again really soon.It’s a cozy pub . Fabulous cuisine

Owners & staff very friendly. Had a table in front of open fire. Didn’t have to wait long for a Fantastic Sunday Roast. Variety of veg , homemade Yorkie & lovely meat. Couldn’t ask for anything else. Certainly going back soon!!

A lucky find for us as we felt hungry after a few hours at Croyland Abbey. From the outside the appearance is a bit untidy due to a recent fire which luckily didn’t burn the whole place down, but indoors your are greeted to a...

Wow food is to die for…Roast dinner on a Sunday is 5 star but the gravy is the best gravy I’ve ever had 10/10 for the gravy alone. Kudos to the chef.

We went for Sunday lunch, service was good, food was nice.

Genuine people who made you feel welcome. Sunday lunch was just great

With restrictions eased it was a good time to visit family - my Mum, older brother and sister in law - and no better way to do that than a Sunday lunch but my original option appears to be closed so Tripadvisor gets a visit...

Lovely Sunday Lunch, with lovely people and to top it all they had a Parrot, nothing was too much trouble .

Very nice with a good selection of food and drink. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back when we are back in the area.

Nice country pub well worth a visit

Amazing place to go for a drink. Owners are very welcoming and a great variety of food and drink. They also allow dogs in the beet gardens

Had a takeaway from here. Good service nice food.

Absolutely wonderful sunny afternoon in the pubs beer garden yesterday. Nice now things are getting back to normal Oh and great food too 😋

Amazing Sunday lunch today, great venue and lovely welcoming hosts Lesley & Kevin. Looking forward to our next visit.

Came here to visit family and was very please with the food and service! We had an amazing Sunday dinner and the deserts (lemon cheesecake and apple and blackberry pie) were to die for. The interior is different but it adds an amazing character to...

Lovely food, lots of choice, great service would definitely come back again. Nice friendly atmosphere.

Lovely afternoon and lunch in the garden of this unusual pub which was once an old Drovers pub. We both ordered the Cajun Chicken dish which was accompanied by the chefs homemade mango salsa, fantastic and full of flavour. Very friendly establishment, attentive staff and...

Me and my partner went here for a meal after a day in Peterborough looking at cars. From the moment we walked in we recieved nothing but the best customer service. The food was home cooked and of great quality 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Fantastic atmosphere, lovely people. Beautiful food

Expect a warm welcome from Kev & Lez. Food home cooked and delicious, plus a good selection of ales, lagers etc . Highly recommended

Brilliant service like going to an old friends warm place good food and plenty of it reasonable prices

Lovely pub, with very good atmosphere. A mixture of qurky, cosy, homely and romantic. Friendly owners, made us feel very welcomed. Love the Wednesday quiz night and Saturday karoeke or band night. It is a little hidden gem!!

Fantastic tapas, an evening of small but perfectly made dishes, 12 different plates of salads, veg, fish and meat and all at a very reasonable price. Always a good atmosphere, Kev and Lez work hard to make everyone welcome and pulled out all the stops last night resulting in a brilliant evening.

Visited today for Sunday dinner,recommended by hubby’s work mate.Wow what a lovely surprise the meal was heavenly,the meat tender and the vegetables fresh also the gravy was the best I have had.For sweet we had apple pie fresh from the oven delicious with cream.The waitress was lovely and welcoming and her timing was spot on.We will definitely be visiting again.5*****

Absolutely outstanding had a family party purchased a buffet which was amazing - staff and venue were perfect couldn't have asked or wanted anything more would highly recommend

Amazing food, amazing customer service would highly recommend will be visiting again soon

Incredible food and a warm, friendly welcome for locals and visitors alike.

AMAZING FOOD!This pub is just pure Brilliant, the welcome you get is second to none. Lesley is super friendly and super crazy and hearing her laugh will most definitely make your day! Kev is also super nice and his banter is on point!People may say it doesn't look much from the outside but that is what gives it its pleasant and quirky feel.The pub garden is a beautiful sun trap and an oasis of home grown edible flowers and herbs.I have been here a few times in the past couple of months and and the food is never disappointing. Highly deserves some Michelin starts. Oh beautiful Pub with walls of white,Your amazing steak pies bring my mouth delight.The Crispy pastry has such perfection,They give me a taste bud erection. The beautiful melting steak feels so good going down,You wont find a better pie in town.All the food is amazing from this unique pub,You wont find any better grub.Give me a snack or give me a beer crate,Get me to ye olde Bridge in so my mouth can masturbate. Highly Recommended.

We came to have Sunday lunch at Ye Olde Bridge Inn for the first time today - will definitely be returning!!! What a hidden gem! We drove up and were a little apprehensive as it looks a bit run down from the outside - inside its pleasantly quirky! Staff are all really friendly. Food is excellent value for money - great taste, sourced locally where possible and very generous portions. Clearly the focus is on the food and hospitality rather than the exterior of the building and grounds. Well worth a visit - I’d highly recommend it!! Will definitely be returning.

Me girlfriend and I wanted to go out for a Sunday lunch to celebrate her getting a new job. This is an area that I know nothing about so I went entirely by tripadvisor reviews and photographs. I booked the night before and suggest that anyone wanting Sunday lunch should book to avoid disappointment.When we arrived, the outside of the building doesn’t look particularly inviting and it could do with a tidy up and lick of paint so we did wonder if we had chosen correctly.As we got out of the car, a lovely lady who waitresses there had just arrived too. She said hello and showed us into the pub and the bar where we met the chap behind the bar too. The interior of the pub is a hotchpotch of items, none of which really go together and from this point of view, probably not somewhere that you’d immediately think worth booking.We ordered drinks, a pint of Thatchers Good and a Brothers strawberry and cream flavour and were shown to our cooked table. Moments later the waitress came over and chatted to us telling us of the 4 choices of meat for today’s meal and the extra cauliflower cheese available.I went for the Beef and my girlfriend went for the Pork and we ordered a cauliflower cheese to share.A few minutes later the magnificent cauliflower cheese arrived, swiftly followed by two large plates of locally sourced and homemade Sunday lunch.Wow, everything was to die for. The beef was perfectly cooked, Yorkshire pudding was large and fluffy inside, boiled and roast new potatoes, tasty parsnip and broccoli with carrot batons. Pickled red cabbage with onion was a nice flavour change too. The stuffing contained black pudding pieces and cheese!!!! Sounds weird but was wonderful and worked!!!!The gravy ..... oh god the gravy; so meaty and delicious. The whole meal was the best I have had in a long time. How much for this plate of brilliance?! Less than a Tenner! I defy anyone to find better anywhere for that.With just enough room for dessert, we went for sticky toffee pudding, mine with custard and my girlfriend had cream. Tasty and we polished it all off. Not homemade this time I don’t think, but nice none the less.The pub is off the beaten track and doesn’t look much from the outside. But it was packed, and the food was better than I could have imagined. If you’re in the area, take a chance and read these reviews and you won’t forget it. £34 for 2 meals, 1 cauliflower cheese, 2 desserts and 2 ciders. A bargain anywhere, let alone for this quality. We’ll be back, and hopefully very very soon.

Definately off the beaten track and a must visit. We thought we were lost in the middle of the countryside then there it was, Ye Olde Bridge Inn. Very friendly and welcoming. A great atmosphere with its quirky and fun decor, we felt quite at home and very relaxed. The menu was varied and interesting and the food we had was very good and the price was friendly too. Without a doubt we will return and maybe next time we can go on one of their special music nights.

Great Food lovely people highly recommended

So friendly and food is wonderful! Definitely recommend the Cauliflower Cheese! Smashin! 🧔🏾👌🏾

SO...... today we went to Ye Olde Bridge Inn ... in Crowland for Sunday lunch.... we have lived here 2 yrs and have only ever been in there for a drink once which wasnt the best experience...but.....Having had some good communication from the pub via facebook etc and read some good reports... I thought... come on ... give it another try......All I can say is..... I am SO pleased that we did..... not only did we have the warmest of welcome from Lynn and Kev as soon as we walked in...and Les later on when she came out of the kitchen..... but the fire was roaring and the atmosphere was lovely and Paul said the beer was excellent..The Sunday lunch was huge and extremely tasty and so many different things on the plate....we were really treated like friends...and even though we were totally stuffed... we managed to down puddings as well..... the price was fantastic as well...If you have ever wondered about trying the place then dont leave it 2 years like we did....Give it a go... the staff are lovely and the food is excellent...... . they have now claimed 2 new customers as we will 100% be back . A big thank you to Lynn and Les and Kev for a great lunch... we are now going to collapse on the sofa for a few hours. Thank you.... Chrissy and Paul.... x

Friendly staff, good service great atmosphere, highly recommended. Weekends fir family's and friends, good Sunday lunches.

What a wonderful experience this Christmas Day at Ye Olde Bridge Inn, Crowland. 7 of us enjoyed a beautifully cooked and presented meal of many courses. The whole afternoon was completely unhurried, the food was abundant and we left feeling well looked after in this unique establishment. We have already booked in for 2019. Many thanks 🙂

Good food, excellent value and very friendly service.

Lovely little pub and friendly owners

Nice, friendly staff and people. Liked the idea that the price of the beer is prominently displayed on the pumps. Wd like to have a meal and do the quiz in the near future.

Lovely old style pub with great simple charm. The staff are very freindly and welcoming. Plenty of parking and and very nice outside area. Traditional pub furniture with the classic brass wall decorations. Additionally there as sofa's to sit on for that more relaxed and casual drink. A pool table too. Food available too.

Can only echo views of earlier reviews. A genuine homely quirky pub so few of which are sadly left. Lucky folk who could call it their local, we will certainly return when passing through the area.Food was excellent well prepared presented & very filling. A real home cooked lunch served by excellent welcoming staff.Some fine ales to be sampled well looked after by a type of landlord who has genuine love of the trade seldom found these days.

I was taken here for something to eat and was put off initially by the rather shabby exterior. Entering you'll encounter a rather eclectic attitude to decor - a traditional pub it isn't. But the folk that run the place, the waitress / chef were wonderful. Talking to you like you mattered and were genuinely interested in making your visit a pleasant one. The food on offer was varied, extensive and beautifully cooked and very well priced. I have it on good authority their Sunday lunches are superb - offered in the colder months. Very close to Crowland and well worth a visit.

Nice pub very old and quant needs a face lift but staff I very friendly meals r freshly made no thing is repacked. Well worth a visit .

We took the boat from Spalding to Crowland and had a super lunch and great beer. Lovely owners and staff, a credit to you. We will be back by boat or car, see you soon.

Wow!! What a little gem quirky but so friendly...the waitress certainly made us feel very welcome gave friendly and helpful service, The Sunday roast was the best I’ve out so definitely a From me ...it was also nice to be able to take the little fur babies with us xxxthan you again for great hospitality xxx Kick & David

Friendly staff made us feel welcome. Sunday lunch was piping hot. Meat was well cooked and veg was not over done. Portions plenty large enough. Various sauces available if desired. Deserts & coffee were fine. Only minor negatives; chicken came with same dark gravy as the beef. The table & place mats were sticky. Whole establishment could do with a thorough polish. It all looks a bit uncared for. There are many ornaments, brasses & tack. It’s very hard work looking after a pub, but they must try harder to get 5*.

Real good atmosphere and lots of great food.

An excellent ‘home from Home’ with fabulous food (you will need a good appetite!) and well kept real ales. Very friendly and with a great fun quiz on Wednesdays.

I had a meal with a couple of friends here. The menus are not bad and cost is average compared to other places that I had been

Excellent service and fantastic atmosphere

Good fun quiz night, very friendly, welcoming pub.

Had a nice time St a private function.

Well kept beer, lovely home cooked meals but most important of all a wonderful landlord and landlady who make the place special.

Just had a fab Sunday roast at the Bridge Inn!

We walked in to a cozy yet spooky little gem of a place. Wow the Halloween Dec s was amazing , I can t wait to vist again soon to see the Xmas decorations. We received a friendly welcome , the open fire was so inviting.The house shiraz was delightful and moreish. I wanted to have all the starters it was hard to choose. As I fancied the mixed grill , I shared the meaty whitebate. Our friends had the garlic mushroom which was plentiful and the broccoli and stilton soup with plenty of bread. I had the mixed grill and oh my the meat was top quality and it was cooked to perfection. There was Gammon, steak, lamb , quality sausage and blackpudding. Now I m not a fan of blackpudding but I always try a bit. To my amazement I ate all of it, it was lovely. I had salad with my grill the others had chips which I was told where beautiful. My friend had the hunters chicken with plenty of cheese.We was going to have homemade steak and ale pie. Yes pie not a stew with a lid. But it was sold out. I was so tempted with pudding but we all was so full. It s recommended to book for the Sunday lunch apparently there is competition in the kitchen if who can make the best gravey. The service was brilliant and so friendly. I can t wait to go back.

Had a lovely meal. The Halloween decoration's were AMAZING. The staff are lovely and I will 100% come back. And there Sunday roast is delicious. I personally think that it was great!😉

One of the few remaining honest pubs,

Visited the pub yesterday about 4.30pm, just for a "flying visit" left at 11.30pm after a beautiful meal, lots of laughs and chat with Les, Kev and other customers. We find this often happens, the place is a home from home that you just don't want to leave

Lovely old pub. Friendly staff.

Delightful,atmospheric pub,with wonderful and excellent landlord and landlady whose welcome is warm,friendly,genuine. Food good,beer well kept.

visited for our Sunday lunch , excellent home cooked food that is value for money , great service in a...

Peaceful by the side of the river.

Simplemente comido un fantástico asado los domingos en este encantador y pintoresco pequeño pub. Personal muy amable, que se desvive por ti. Se lo recomendaría a cualquiera! ! Sin duda volveré de nuevo.

Another lovely lazy Sunday afternoon at the Bridge Inn today. Sunday lunch was home-cooked and very good. Chatting in the garden with Les, Kev and the locals made for a very enjoyable afternoon.

Lovely food, will be going again

Este pub, aunque en el medio de la nada. Ofrecen una gran hospitalidad y excelente comida de pub. Platos abundantes con agua muy caliente y sabrosa comida

Nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos por el propietario y la dueña, es un lugar muy interesante para visitar y la cerveza era buena. No comimos allí, pero el almuerzo de domingo siendo preparados para el día siguiente olía encantador. Espero volver aquí de nuevo y comer! ! !
