The best restaurants in North Kesteven East Midlands

We booked for 4 nights bed and breakfast and had the Churchill Suite. On arrival we were shown our room and told we had a fan! The suite is large but partially underground which we knew about before we booked so we’re not put off by it and adequate lighting in the room made up for the lack of natural light. There are two built in wardrobes a large bed and lovely bathroom. The soft furnishings are all beautiful. The “little touches of indulgences’ were disappointing they consisted of ghastly biscoff biscuits you usually get at cafes with a cup of coffee not the homemade shortbread we were expecting. Complimentary bottles of water and toiletries mainly in large dispensers on the wall. There are no nice touches in the room just furniture. If you sit on the sofa with a drink one person has to put their cup on the floor, as there is not side table. The room was clean apart from cobwebs hanging from wall lights and a horrid mark on the wall in the bathroom by the toilet……. On our third day we arrived back to the hotel around 5pm only to find our room had not been serviced! My partner went to reception to let them know and they told him we must have left the do not disturb notice out! Which we did not……. Anyway they rallied round and gave us a full set of clean towels and clean mugs etc. which was good of them but left us asking is this really a four star hotel? The breakfast is wonderful the tables laid out very nicely everything cooked is to order and served at your table. We had a dinner one night in the restaurant and it was a true delight the food and wine all good and the service was great apart from one young girl took our bread basket and bread plates away whilst we were still enjoying it……. We never made a fuss at the time.. We put it down to nerves……… On our last day we went down to breakfast having not been able to get to sleep because of stomping in the function room above. There seemed to be a large business group arrived the day before. They were all in the breakfast room which was full and we ordered our cooked breakfast my partner had his usual full English and I asked for scrambled egg mushroom and Rosti It arrived all of it over cooked and no rosti. I said to the waitress not to worry but she said no I will go and get it. It arrived 10 minutes later….. by then we had finished what we could eat from the burnt breakfast and left. Very disappointed again. We used the bar area every evening and ordered bar snacks and drinks the first night we were there was great but the other nights we had to go and search for someone each time we wanted a drink or something. We felt a little bewildered by it all as the reviews and the website seemed to give a much different picture in our heads than what we experienced. We always choose four and five star hotels when we go away but to us this one felt below par. I think in the future we will not choose a hotel that is used as a function space as any individuality seemed to be missing. It’s a shame that we unfortunately experienced several mishaps during what could have been a memorable experience.

Just the best evening, an amazing warm welcome, outstanding service and the food was just fantastic. Can’t recommend highly enough, an absolute gem of a pub 🙏

Excellent value for money, the fish and chips were delicious, I highly recommend this place ,looking forward to going back.

Had Sunday lunch. Food was beautifully cooked, no frills just a good honest value for money lunch. We ate everything, superb . Hosts very friendly and accommodating. We will be back.

Visited Maharaaj from Milton Keynes and had an absolutely fantastic meal! The food was flavorful, beautifully presented, and full of authentic taste. The service was impeccable—friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The ambiance added a special touch to the experience. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an outstanding dining experience. Will definitely be back! Make sure you ask for the house sauce with your popadoms!

Unfortunately this has now closed, and is a home. SAD to say as was a fantastic tea room. I believe it has been closed for a year or so and property was sold.

What a lovely traditional pub with a great friendly welcome. The Buttcomes beer well worth trying, I had the 5G pint, very good. We all had food which was very nice traditional food. Totally recommend looking the pub out.

Lovely home cooked food, well worth a visit. Highly recommended. Excellent sunday lunches as well as weekdays, closed saturday.

Can't praise highly enough, very welcoming, amazing value. Was busy when we went but friendly staff quickly found us a table and service was very prompt. Will be back!

We almost religiously do this weekly and can not fault them. All errors are always rectified and the selection of foods is amazing. Delivery drivers always have a laugh with us, even if we call them out twice in a day. Thanks from the Turnbulls lot

Excellent home delivered afternoon tea. What a lovely surprise gift. Was tasty and fresh. Could have done with the option of more savoury and less sweet (due to diabetic) but the quality and quantity were outstanding. And came with a beautiful fresh rose on top. Great.

Best sausage and bacon butty I’ve had, fresh and quality ingredients & cooked to perfection. 11/10

This is by far an underrated resturant. The lady who's taken over cooks amazing meals many of them italian as well as traditional dishes and a breakfast buffet. It's a must for anyone in the area or just passing.

really lovely chinese food cooked well, proper chunks of meat and veg, very clean and friendly i would definitely recommend!
