The best restaurants in Horncastle East Lindsey East Midlands

We went specifically to this venue for breakfast. We ordered different breakfasts and made some changes to one of them with the helpful counter staff. The tea in the tea pot was cold and we took it back for a replacement hot tea pot. The breakfast was brought to us by a member of staff who did not smile or speak. Having ordered extra well done bacon we were surprised to note that it certainly hadn't been even well done. The plates were cold and so was half of the breakfast, the rest of it cooling rapidly. The toast and prepacked butter were placed on the top of the breakfast and we had to use our fingers to try and get them off the top, even though there was nowhere to put them (have they never heard of side plates)? All in all, very poor. Customer care is clearly not a priority.

Whenever we visit Horncastle we end up here but the food and service has become so erratic it's time to explore other venues. We took a table half an hour before close and ordered poached eggs on toast. When a waitress audibly sighs it doesn't bode well. The eggs were served workhouse style in a pool of vinegar water and runny yolk with soggy cheap Sunblest white on the side. The hurried service continued when the waitress, noticing my wife's foray to the gifts upstairs, asked about her whereabouts before studying her watch. The 'chef' has always been taciturn but the food and service has previously compensated. Sadly, it has become merely 'good in parts'.

Excellent friendly service, eggs perfectly done, lincolnshire sausages (the best), good coffee. What a great start to a busy day

Absolutely tasteless spiceless food. Wouldn't bother unless you like raw veg & chiiless meals. Will not return

Took 15 minutes to reach the front of the queue of 5 people, not enough staff on duty. Staff advised against purchasing a mince pie @ £1.50 each as they thought they were too expensive. The cakes looked nice but at £4.50 per slice were too expensive too.

Popped in at 5.30pm to order 2 takeaway meals for a home delivery at 8pm. Had to go in rather than phone because on a previous enquiry, I was told that for card payments you have to order at the counter and pay......erm, okaaay !! 8pm came and went, and at 8.35 I phoned to enquire as to where our food was ? I was told that the driver was out delivering and the he wouldn't be long. 8.45 he turned up apologising and that he difficulty finding the address. Despite the fact that our house is less than a mile and a half away, and in more or less in a strait line. The Food : Ah, the food !! Firstly, it was barely warm and I put mine in the microwave. I have been enjoying curry since the 1970s and have eaten in many curry houses in many towns and have seldom been disappointed. However, I can say with authority that this was by far and away the worst example of Indian food I have ever tasted in all those years. The curry was bland, bordering on tasteless. The onion bhaji we're not only stone cold, but also were similar in texture and equally tasteless !! The accompanying teaspoon full of mango chutney consisted of a sweet goo, bereft of any pieces of mango whatsoever. The mint sauce as we tend to call it, was of a thin, milky substance, and tasted of nothing at all but merely served to soften the rock like texture of the onion bhaji. To conclude. I would recommend that if you want a decent, satisfying takeaway Indian meal, then avoid The Agra.... better renamed as The Aggro !! and get a ready meal from any supermarket. Not only will you get eat it on time, but it will actually taste of something and save you quite a lot of money too.

the lady serving was so incredibly rude!!!!!

Enjoyed our coffee. But the shop looks like it cold do with a Deep Clean. Every where looks dirty/ dusty & floors awful. No spoons, girl didn't know where they had disappeared to. Shame on shop for me to take visiting friends to.

This has to be one of the worst takeawys ever. This place has been down before but bounced back. This time there is no-where to go, its a gonner. Hard chewy meat ( not sure what it even was) Could have been chicken beef or duck and it was in a special chow mein. I didn't eat it, can't do that to my tum. No spice, no taste, nothing to recommend it at all and yet they keep putting their prices up. These are two regulars signing off.

Not only did The King's Treasure Restaurant be able to provide an extensive free from gluten menu for myself being one of the people who are coeliac in party, (Called in advance and received an email of some dishes that could be prepared) The staff were extremely knowledgeable and were more than happy to confirm with the chef Lizzie if they didn't know 100%. This made me feel very confident in my decision with the many dish choices. The staff are super friendly, amazingly attentive, despite it being full when we arrived yet they still provided a warm friendly greeting when we arrive. If your table isn't ready, there isn't time to blink before the staff have worked their magic and have it sorted for you. There is a great verity of drinks on offer to choose from while you peruse the fabulous menu. The dishes we ordered were adapted to make it suitable for all of the party to share, and the ingredients were confirmed prior to being cooked with myself which was really kind and thoughtful as it meant I could try a bit of everything. Having not being able to have a Chinese for many many years, this was certainly worth the wait! Our friends also agreed (they are acustom to a Chinese as no allergies) The food was absolutely GORGEOUS! So much flavour and authenticity. The New Owners have certainly done an outstanding job, and I highly recommend trying it, weather it be early in or a takeaway! The service is spectacular and I will certainly be returning with my friends as we have had an absolutely wonderful experience this evening! Having spent 4 years living in Asia I really missed the flavours, now I know where to go for my guilty pleasure! The King's Treasure Thankyou so much for accommodating me 💛 Hayley

This is the third time we’ve eaten lunch here in the last few months, including an excellent Christmas meal. The staff have all been friendly and very helpful to any tweaks we’ve wanted to make to the menu. The food is tasty, like home cooked, with good portion sizes and presented well. The menu has lots of choice, with a good selection for non meat eaters. The cakes and puddings are a real high point, and yesterday there was an impressive three vegan selections and two gluten free. All of the above were a five star experience, but the toilets are really letting the place down, I can see from other reviews that this is something that is regularly raised, and yesterday when I told a friend we’d had a good meal, her response was “the food is great, but the toilets are awful”. This is NOT a cleaning issue; they are old, in a poor state of repair, and have an unpleasant smell, that all the cleaning in the world won’t put right. They need to be upgraded and decorated. It’s a shame because it is detracting from another wise very positive experience.
