The best restaurants in South Kesteven East Midlands

What has happened to this place? No greeting on entering, the waiter was wearing jeans and had the personality of lump of wood, trying to explain to him that my wife wanted poppadoms the same time as my starter would of made a good comedy on TV. The sheer kebab was really bland with no flavour. Main course was OK but the nan bread was so thin it came like a giant crispbread, but the best is when we were asked what we would like to drink only to be told that they can not serve alcohol as they have no licence.

Went in on spec on a busy weekday morning. There were plenty of people in the place but as we approached an empty table to see what the notice on it said, a thoroughly unpleasant and unwelcoming young member of staff snarled 'it's reserved, there's room upstairs'. I commented 'wow, what a welcome'. We duly went upstairs and when mentioned to the same member of staff that we were ready to order she snipped back 'there are two more people to take orders from before you'. We duly left. What an ungracious, unsophisticated young woman. To behave like that at work, presumably with her employer's blessing, beggars belief. No care, no flair, no manners, no panache. There are plenty other wonderful places to have a coffee in Stamford, we will patronise them from now on. In mentioning our experience to a neighbour locally she commented she'd experienced similar. What a shambles Fika, come on managers and get this all changed round.

Don’t go here to eat , poor food , small portions and barking customers dogs and no taste to food ,chewy , over cooked and expensive for what you get never again

Such good value - Excellent all round. The quality and freshness of the food is second to none. Friendly as well. And enough staff to handle the queue.

Atmospheric little cafe in middle of small retail sellers - arts and crafts etc. Food reasonable, service friendly but surprised later to read that food and hygiene rating is still only 2, with improvement required. I don’t see any changes from last time I visited.

Excellent, can’t fault it! Have been here on many occasions and have never had a bad experience. The food and drinks are excellent and so is the service. The staff are all really nice, friendly and attentive. We have had most things on the menu including vegetarian and always leave contented. The cakes and other deserts are second to none and variety of drinks is great.

Didn’t know what to expect but this was a wonderful experience. The staff were lovely and the food even better. Thank you so much we can’t wait to come again.

Wonderful little tea room with an excellent lunch menu of home made delicious lunches and cakes. We chanced upon this place whilst visiting from London and found this gem. The mash, stew and dumplings and homemade chicken soup were delicious and my cream tea scones were the best I've ever had; and I've had a lot! I am fortunate in my job that I am able to eat out almost everyday; I only wish 10% of the establishments I tried were as good as this. It is ran by only two staff, so do be patient at busy times, but even then our lunch was out in under 10mins. It's also great value. Don't hesitate to try for yourself.

very nice settlement on prices i would highly recommend this place because it was truly magnificent flavors.

As always, as absolute delight. Home cooked meals, cakes and scones, all beautifully presented by cheerful staff. Ensure you book though! You don't want to be disappointed.

Couldn't fault the food & the menu of the day is such good value. Nice to have some proper Portuguese home cooked food & desserts are delicious too.

Fast and friendly Lovely breakfasts for reasonable prices Perfectly hits the spot, surrounded by beautiful scenery.

Order a takeaway delivery.. Luke warm at best. Phoned to complain and no response. I will not be ordering anything from them again!

Firsty went into the chip shop and speaking to the man behind the till ended up having things on the till I didn't ask for so had to say numerous times what I wanted. Ordered small chips, large chips, 2 cod, peas, curry and a small sausage. Got home with my fish and chips and all I can say is I will never eat from here again, Chips were overcooked and dry, and it's certain they have been cooked in oil that's been fried and fried and fried, horrible chips. The two cods I ordered were in edible, full of oil and stuck batter to the paper, chucked this in the bin not happy at all, WORST FISH IVE EVER HAD. Safe to say I will never go back here and hop others don't either
