The best restaurants in Croft East Lindsey East Midlands

Good food and well cooked. We went as a group of 12 for a Sunday lunch. Food was nice and tasty and plenty of it, BUT the service was not the best, and were pretty much told to leave after an hour as the table was needed! Didn't even get chance to order dessert. Also felt very squished in.

Disappointing Sunday lunch - booked as read reviews and it's also included in the Bateman's Brewery tour/Sunday lunch. Two very slim small slices of pork - our 7 year old granddaughters can eat more - and had to ask for another roast potato - only given two -and rather begrudgingly 'I shouldn't really' was the response, and was given one. I felt terrible!! Surely the point of a carvery is that you help yourself to veg? Most of the other veg was cooked well and was colourful, the parsnips however were on the rather hard/thin side! We were booked in for 12 and were out just about after an hour. No mention of vegetarian option, we were obviously new to the pub and there was no informing us of the system, just telling us where our table was. There is hardly any room to swing a mouse, let alone a cat. We were seated by the fire side with hardly any room for two, let alone 4 and we ate and left as soon as we were able. Plates cleared as soon as we were finished - no query if we wanted a dessert - in fact a couple behind us finished and were asked to vacate their table as their plates were taken away. Disappointed to say the least - the bar maid did in fact provide us with a Bateman's pint glass - she overheard my conversation with my husband and I was happy to make a donation for the celebration glass. Overall, we would not return to The Old Chequers and would have reservations to visit other Bateman's Pubs for their Sunday Carvery. I'd appreciate some feedback if possible from yourselves, thank you.

Me gusta venir aquí para sus cafés y batidos, muy razonable y delicioso. Los batidos están hechas con helado, y son preciosas en un día de calor - si tenemos cualquier! Además, la tienda siempre tiene tortas tentadoras y llenar la increíble santos y pecadores productos - bien vale la pena una visita si paso en camino a Skeggy.

We visited for a Sunday lunch (pre-booked). Lady on bar was pleasant - but wasn’t really aware of what drinks they had (maybe new?) Was seated in the back section - very cold, no music on. Waitress came to take order - and we still hadn’t even been given menus. Ordered and waited over 45mins - despite pub not being busy. Ordered adult meal and requested 2 x half portions (one for a child and one as I’ve recently had bariatric surgery and only just eating solid food) All meals arrived, hot plates, good quality and generous portions. Waitress not the most hospitable of people. Could only manage a small amount and asked for the reminder for takeaway. Charged for 3 x full adult meals at nearly £50. Overall - wasn’t made to feel welcome and pub seems like a locals place where if you don’t know people , you don’t feel welcome.
