The best restaurants in Spalding St John's South Holland East Midlands

Although a smallish pub not many staff te food and service were very good and prices even better

Ordered online via Bigfoodie platform expecting meal to be delivered. This was not the case as I ended up having to collect. Food wasn't ready at given collection time & had to wait for 10/15 mins. Food was ok (Ribs very fatty & fried rice seemed to have as many peas as rice - not keen on peas in my rice) but nothing to shout about & certainly not worthy of the praises sung by others. Perhaps I have too many fond memories of when old Tom held the reigns of Spalding's first Chinese Restaurant.

Great that's it's back open. Nice crowd and good atmosphere.

Loved this local bookshop, I came in for breakfast and of course left with a book too. They also had a great selection of gifts and funny cards as well as so many books from so many genres. Really friendly and helpful staff and breakfast with a coffee was amazing. It’s definitely more than just a bookshop which I love, I could’ve spent all day inside. I’d never been to Spalding before but I’d definitely come back for this independent bookshop!

What a delightful restaurant! Food was delicious with generous portions. We were looked after so well and nothing was too much bother. A fabulous birthday dinner- thank you so very much 😊

Lovely fresh cooked food, hubby had large breakfast with chips instead of bubble & black pudding. I had burger and chips. We really enjoyed it and it was piping hot. Would recommend.

My hubby having recently had major surgery, and for the first time feeling able to get up and out. We were looking for a relaxing place less than 30 minutes from home so decided on the Ship at Pinchbeck. On the river Glen, an old Thatched pub set in its own grounds with lots of parking, what a choice we made. Dave our barman was welcoming and accomodating, and Lucy our waitress was sunny and quick to humour. We whiled away two happy hours on too many brilliant starters!! Crunchy pork belly bites, tender chicken strips (so tender!!) and yummy coconut crunch king prawns! What a treat and virtually buy two get one free! We almost regretted having the main courses....till they came out. Lamb shank for my husband and chicken supreme for me, both wonderfully cooked with a varied range of veg...almost perfect. Then almost but not quite ready to roll to the car, a quick look at the sweet board just to see? Oh lemon cake soaked in lemon syrup and gin....oh no way!! Of course it was yes way! And I am sure that my cheeky question, is it iced? Encouraged a response from from the chef. I can honestly say it was the best sweet I have had in many years of trying pubs and resturants all over Lincs. and further, well done chef!! Now it is your fault I can barely keep my eyes open as I write this, but as I drift off, at least I can dream of the meal we can have next time we come back....night night and thanks all for such a welcome treat!

Great food on the go as super efficient service

Cold food!! And waited over two hours!! Very poor slow service!!

Always polite workers and delicious pizza!

By far the worst chinese food i have ever eaten , absolute onion filleds muck never eaten such rubbish , why do people go to these places

Popped in Saturday lunchtime Extensive menu. Friendly lady serving. But it took 45 minutes for chicken/ steak dishes to arrive which delayed us Food was nice enough and fresh. But 3 stars is because of delays

I booked a table on the 26th January for the 12th of February. I had confirmation email by the 28th of January for my booking. Friday 11th February I had a reminder email about my booking it also says they are looking forward to meeting us. Today I get an email saying they are cancelling my booking and they have been tried to contact me. Rubbish no other emails and no phone calls. I spoke to two mangers both very unprofessional one kept calling me darling the other didn't care that they had ruin my weekend with friends that were travelling 3 hours to join us for what we hoped was a lovely meal. I was told the booking shouldn't of been taken as they have a private event. When I questioned them about still advertising valentines weekend I was told it was just for Sunday and Monday. But on there website and menu it clearly states Friday to Monday valentines special. I wouldn't go here now if they paid me and judging by other reviews we have had a lucky escape. I now have a table booked at a different restaurant The Crystal Inn I have eaten there before staff management and food 5 star.
