The best restaurants in Heath South Kesteven East Midlands

We have been a customer of the Red Lion for many years. This was the worst experience we have had in a restaurant in a very long time. The restaurant room we were sat in was too cold for a number of our family. The overall lunch took nearly 3 hours with most of that waiting to order or waiting for courses. Tge food quality was very average at best. Fish and chips was fresh so rhat was a positive. The roast lunches were abysmal. The meat seemed to be boiled rather than roasted, the potatoes were almost certainly re-heated from the previous day with much of the rest of the meal microwaved. In the end we cancelled all deserts due to waiting over 35 minutes for deserts only to be told there wasn't one of the deserts available! The pub at the time was no where near what you would call busy but it felt like the kitchen was vastly overrun. Other guests had starters missed with apologies from the staff so this was not an isolated case. The owners need to rethink how they staff their business and employ some experienced restaurant management! Something is going very wrong with this establishment!

We were a party of ten. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent.

Oh dear! Perhaps we caught them on a bad day. I don't think that a couple of leaves of Iceberg, three slices of cucumber and a couple of bits of tomato can really be described as a salad! (Minute steak with onion salad [that's onion salad without any onion!]) The little pieces of 'minute steak' were quite tough (most were fed to my dogs). The chicken & sweet corn salad was just as lacking in quality. Setting was pleasant and service friendly but not what I would call acceptable at a cost of £23.90 (with one buttered bap). Better off at the pub round the corner?

The food is excellent, amazing value on a Wednesday, curry rice or naan and a wine or pint £12 what’s not to like? and service very friend
