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

Never open on time. Says 8 am and its now 8.32 still not open

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.

There seem to be bad reviews about this Costa but I like it very much.this time I was alone,usually I am with a friend.the barista pointed out to me that I had a complimentary drink on my app so I had a strawberry frappe entirely free and o nly had to pay for my cake.staff are friendly and the place is clean.

Fabulous food at the newly reopened restaurant. Great service and friendly atmosphere all at a very reasonable price. Will definitely be going back.

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.

Was looking forward to a Sunday full English breakfast so decided to go local. We arrived at 10.20 to be told they had run out of hash browns!! They only serve from 10 to 11 and it wasn’t busy. I asked for extra on the breakfasts due to the lack of hash browns. Also my wife can't eat eggs so asked for extra mushrooms to replace the eggs but was not given anything extra as both plates had same amount of mushrooms. Coffee was a very small cup. All in all not awful but sadly won't use this local cafe in a hurry! They also missed the eggs on my breakfast so waited for them to arrive separately.
