The best restaurants in Heighington and Washingborough 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.

Whenever we see the Custom Bakes stall in Lincoln we ALWAYS drop by for a purchase. A bewildering selection of cakes and tray bakes for the entire family. There is always so much selection that nobody will miss out. Truly one for the whole family. Absolutely delicious.

Excellent staff, outstanding food and a lovely place to spend time

The management are lucky to have a great group of staff who are very busy but keep their eye on what is going on. Fast delivery of food which was good basic fare. The exterior of the venue and the toilets need refurbishment - almost no paint on one part of the front door. The inside of the restaurant is ok but management need to consider the overall upkeep of the restaurant.

Clean rooms ,nice and welcoming pub

Enjoyed my chicken korma, cooked to perfection. Great friendly staff.

Great dinner with friends and family

Love this restaurant so much ! Stunning views of rhe glorious grounds . Elegant decor and amazing food and service. It’s also great for afternoon tea ! The pink lounge is so pretty ! I got married there in 1999 . Branston Hall is a very special place in my heart .

Lovely venue, great service and a very tasty meal, thank you

Great company, great meals and good beer what more could a man ask for.

Only popped in to see friends, 3 hours later...... Friendly staff and cold beer, what more do you need?

Good food. James, our server, was great. Very friendly and helpful.

Food from here is always delicious - chicken wraps are particularly good, and the pizza is a cut above the usual kebab shop standard.

One of the worst takeaways we have had in years. Chicken Satay undercooked and unpleasant, Chips definitely been reheated ( probably more than once ) and chow mein tasted less than fresh. Complete waste of money

Missing food items and when we asked the restaurant about this we were told that they "Don't F**king care" and "I cough in your food" - So this about sums up our experience of this takeaway during a global pandemic. Absolutely disgusting and should be put out of business.
