The best restaurants in Spalding Castle South Holland East Midlands

We went to Spalding on this lovely sunny morning to the market. The wonderful and very special Carillon was playing, ringing out across the market place and we popped into the Café on the Square inside the South Holland Centre for a coffee and a late breakfast. Well, nearly lunch! (Breakfast is served until 12 noon). We both had a breakfast brioche. Lincolnshire sausage patty layered with bacon and topped with a fried egg in a large and very delicious brioche bun. Probably not the sort of breakfast for every day (!) but super tasty for a treat - the food was lovely, the staff were so pleasant and helpful and the coffee was very good too. Thank you Courtney and Mike and Bailey. And it was very reasonably priced. You can sit in this 1st floor café and look out over the market place and people watch to your hearts content. Go on - treat yourself to good food, great coffee and a nice relaxing time in The Café on the Square.

Amazed at the owners of this shop they gave out free food to homeless people over Xmas I was amazed to see this happen if there were more people with hearts like there's the world would be a better place

Passed this place quite a few times, but today we decided to go for breakfast. Absolutely delicious, all freshly cooked. Staff were friendly and made you feel welcome. All orders cooked at the same time so every thing was nice and hot when served. Will definitely be returning.

Food was tasty but room temperature. Menu confusing and didn’t know what to order. Staff brought replacement drinks without explaining that our choice wasn’t available. Was hoping for a live cooking table but was disappointed to receive a basic table.

The Lincolnshire Poacher is situated in a nice riverside position and is a charming old building. Although the beamed ceilings and white walls attest to age and tradition, the large areas of bare red bricks go really well with the understated, and almost minimalist modern decor that shouldn’t really work in an old pub like this - but does, and they have achieved a modern look with old-fashioned comfort. Service here was welcoming and very good, and the pub is run by a charming couple. We certainly enjoyed our visit.

I was introduced to Pacey's when I moved here by a friend who's a Spalding native. Since then, it's become a regular meeting place for us and we always look forward to the announcement of each week's cheesecake flavour! Can't speak highly enough of the quality of the baking and friendliness of the staff - you really get the sense here that it's not just a café, but a real cornerstone of the community.

Wonderful coffee shop and restaurant. It is always clean and friendly atmosphere, with lovely coffee and tea. The cakes are yummy and soft - everyone should try the carrot cake (gluten free too!) The coffee is strong but smooth but you can ask for it weaker if you like. Not at all like a ‘charity’ shop of coffee shop - somewhere nice to visit

Another excellent visit and we had our usual cod and chips in the upstairs restaurant. We received a friendly greeting and a wave from the boss as we entered and the staff upstairs were friendly and helpful, as always. Hope to squeeze another visit in before Christmas !

Very nice place lovely staff. Food delicious great location middle of the town

Eventually found it and guess what it don't exist

This place is absolutely fabulous I can’t fault it at all the service is 2nd to none I will go again definitely I dined in

Very nice food. Only place I would go. Wish they took card

There are no napkins at all on the salt. The coffee is not very high quality. But for the village it will do.

No customer service what so ever only is and another table in there waited nearly half hour for someone to come take starter order never ask if we wanted a drink so got how own. Never ask if we was having carvery and waited a further 15 mins and no one still came so got up to carvery and young girl With glasses on ask what we wanted we said carvery only enough beet for one half people no please thank you. Or is your meal ok. Didn’t even know how to split bill in half. Rude staff Need to work on customer service Will not go back again Scored a two as good was nice hot other then that not good at all

We have had lunch here probably once a month for some year, and enjoyed the food and friendly atmosphere. The view is great, although I find the the chairs uncomfortable. This time there was a new menu. We always enjoy some salad with a panini or toastie or sandwich. However we were told this was not available - all these options are served only with crisps and coleslaw. Hardly a healthy option! So my husband chose a BLT; (bacon lettuce, tomato) ---- evidently they did have salad! We did not eat the crisps. My husband had a cold drink, and I had tea and I asked for an extra cup for him to have a little tea also. Not Allowed! I don't think we will return. There are other pleasant places to eat in Spalding.
