The best restaurants in South Kesteven East Midlands

Lovely restaurant with fantastic Italian food. Very authentic flavours, great menu and very nice staff. Make sure you book a table at the weekend.

Just had tea and a cake with my lovely work colleague friends. What a gorgeous little tea shop this is. We were greeted by a lovely member of staff armed with a hot sample of winter tea. They also had delicious vegan cupcakes and all of the treats were beautifully presented. To add to the experience, all of the teas, coffees, infusers etc. are available to buy. The shop itself smells of delicious things and the ambience is mellow and inviting. I was so impressed and will definitely be visiting again. All of the staff are super friendly - thank you ladies for a lovely afternoon in a perfect tea-lovers heaven!

Great little Tapas Bar. Nice restaurant to go for a quiet evening with the wife or a large party. Food is varied and very tasty. Keith the owner is very attentive and keeps the food and wine coming. Reasonably priced as well. If your in Bourne I'd recommend a visit..

Attentive staff with good knowledge of the menu. Excellent wine. All courses were just the right temperature. Good to be in a restaurant where people were not shouting at each other. Very enjoyable evening.

Fantastic service, food and cakes Breakfast excellent with weekly specials Everyone takes a home made cake home they are fantastic Great atmosphere

A hidden gem of Grantham. Fabulous service and great snacks on offer. I’d certainly recommend the carrot cake! Lots of cosy seating areas with blankets on hand and very pet friendly. We will return!

Great coffee (coming from a coffee snob!), AMAZING cookies (other cakes available) and lovely polite and welcoming staff, made up of local volunteers and kids on work experience. Sat here with my partner for an hour, drank coffee, ate cookies and read our books - Enjoyed it even more knowing our money was going to a good cause. Would definitely recommend!

Another great night out, with great company and stunning food, we Started off with a welcome glass of fizz, well the others did, I, as usual was on my water... boo hiss.. LOL.. and then the food, the major highlight of the night (as well as spending quality time with friends, I better put that in case they read this and get into trouble) The Venison Amuse Bouche was just beautiful, I am not a great Venison fan, but this was done to perfection, a short break in proceedings and then the starters, Hot smoked salmon, truffle mayonnaise and buttermilk blini, caviar (mmm yes please) and Yuzu pearls, placed under a glass dome with "fog" that lifted into the air as the dome was pulled upwards, OOooo, that sounds posh, and it was, stunning started, I could have had three of those, but I am not greedy. The main course was Lamb, now, as most will say, I hate lamb, I have not eaten lamb in over over 40 years, but that last night was just it was tender, pink, cut with easy, the Gelston Lamb was beautiful, with garlic and rosemary sweet potato puree, hen-of-the woods mushrooms, Romanesco cauliflower and Hasselback potatoes, I was not 100% sure, but that first mouthful, was stunning, I trust the guys to serve up a brilliant meal, and I am not likely to have Lamb again, but here I would, no question. And a good plateful as well, all well set out, so it was something to not only savour the tastebuds but the eyes as well. But the stomach enjoyed it more, LOL. Desert was a Passion Fruit lovers heaven, thee Passionfruit Panna Cotta was so light, and with so much flavour, this was served with a Passionfruit macaron, Passionfruit bubbled, stem ginger, Honeycomb crunch, Passionfruit coulis and and a ginger tuile. Coffee and chocolates finished the evening off perfectly, as always the guys invite us to their home, and treat us as friends rather than paid customers, and that makes the difference, the little details, like an individual menu placed on your napkin, a full introduction to each course, so you know what you are eating and what goes into the food. Brilliant.... will be back for visit number four......

Had a wonderful experience. The friendly staff & service made us feel at home. The food was excellent . The cozy atmosphere added to our experience. Highly recommend!

Nice little place, that brins old fashion cafe feeling into modern world. Simplicity in food with outstanding quality and freshness. Homemade cakes and scones perfect for tea and beautiful sunny day. Thank you

We visited today. We usually use Mad Hatters Tea Room but it was full. So we headed across the road to Lillies Lavander Hat and we were super surprised at how great the little place is! The breakfast is epic! The food is very good quality- the sausage in particular was very, very good quality and tasted so good!! Often cafes scrimp on sausage and bacon but that is not the case here! They also do a proper flat white which is great because often I have an issue finding smaller places that actually do proper flat whites so this is another win for this little place! So, if you want a great breakfast and a proper flat white. Make sure you visit this place!! Don’t be a sheep and just go to the other place across the road! Let’s support our other small businesses! If you don’t use them, you’ll lose them!

Such a fantastic and worthy project to save food otherwise destined for the bins. A huge variety of tasty meals, vegetables and fruit served by very friendly volunteers. Highly recommended.

Sue and I went to eat on a Friday night. Unusually, I had Fish and I will say it was the best Fish I have tasted for a very long time. Sue agreed-not necessarily a usual practice. Interestingly, another couple also said it was the best Fish (and chips) they had had. Well done Ian and the team.

Abouslety brill food the taste was so fresh chicken was nice and soft I will defo be back again to try some of the set menu keep the good work
