The best restaurants in South Kesteven East Midlands

Don't bother if you have a dog with you. Looked a nice inviting local on entering but was given short shrift by the barmaid as we had our cockapoo with us. As there was 4 of us in our party, she turned away the opportunity to more than double her clientele on a quiet Sunday afternoon. Not what you would expect from a country pub.

Very nice spot for a lunch in a busy market square in a lovely town - where we wanted somewhere independent and with a bit of character. Found a table outside which was a perfect holiday moment spot. Good choice of sandwiches, good coffee. Best part though was climbing the stairs to the top floor of the ancient building to find the loo.

Everyone friendly, and welcoming. Excellent choice of food and drink. Delicious food and very good value for money. Comfotable furniture in a relaxed atmosphere. They go above and beyond, highly recommend

Food was excellent! Dropped in here with my parents for dinner, wasn’t expecting much tbh, but boy was I surprised, the food was outstanding! We ordered the mixed starters first and they were decent enough, but the main courses were fabulous! We had red curry with duck (meat was succulent, sauce spicy but not overpoweringly so) , stir fried duck in tamarind sauce, - wonderful, stir fried duck in oyster (we like duck!) wonderful. We washed it down with a very reasonably priced and more than passable bottle of house white (Hardy’s Sauvignon blanc). We were served by Sassi (the owner?) who was a delight. All in all I can thoroughly recommend this restaurant and when I’m next in the area I will definitely be back!

There were four of us. How lovely to have table service which is becoming so rare these days. The young man was lovely and was on his own and had to work the bar, run food and take orders. Did a brilliant job. The food was very good. Tasty and good value for money. Been looking for somewhere to take my family and friends when they visit from various parts of the country and finally found a place. So definitely going back.

I can't leave a review on the food as we were asked to go back to the.door and remove our boots.... I have never felt so uncomfortable or been asked to remove my footwear when in a public place. I purposely stopped here as was in a lorry and felt this is what the "homely diner" was for .......... No wonder the place was empty and Greg's around the corner was full ........

Meal for 2 C. Spare ribs, low quality, very fatty. Beansprouts with garlic, no garlic. Chicken in black bean sauce, sauce no taste. In fact, all the sauces seem to have been watered down. Won't be back. Oh, They dont take cards either.

This place is absolutely fantastic. We were visiting friends and popped down the road for some drinks and snacks.. such a happy surprise. Quality of the food and cocktails (accidentally ended up finishing up a bottle of Tattinger as well), was up there with some lovely wine bars we have been to in Europe and the weather to match it this weekend. Bettet than so many Wine and Cocktail bars in London.. Lovely atmosphere and run so well by the two lovely ladies. Will definitely have to visit our friends more just to come back here !!

very good place, excellent food with exception service!! recommend going

We love it here, a local business that all locals should support, fantastic food and a lovely team. The sauteed potatoes are to die for. Don't follow the pretend "posh" sheep sipping overpriced coffee and chomping on factory produced foods nearby. Support small businesses.

Booked two nights for dinner bed and breakfast. Food excellent choice, quality and great service from young team. Room comfy and spacious Ideal location for Newark Showground. Will visit again

A lot of pastry on Cornish pasty, heard a few swear words from behind in an accent, but I guess it was a bit busy. I was a little concerned, the front team were good. Coffee was nice a bit upset having to pay for a small sachet of brown sauce. I went to the toilet the corner was mucky behind the tap.

Went today for the first time 5stars food hygiene and we now live nearby. Good choice and when we opened the containers it looked very appetising. Plenty of food for two and all very tasty and hot. Will be back.

Proper English boozer. Friendly staff and customers.
