The best restaurants in South Kesteven East Midlands

It was very busy. Atmosphere was great. Bar staff was on the ball particularly Simon and another young girl (blonde), sorry don't know your name, but didn't wait for a pint, everyone was happy and chilled. Didn't have any food but we will do. We'll worth a visit

My favourite Indian in this area. Lovely food quick delivery. If you eat at resturant its lovely resturant with excellent staff

Sadly, The Rose has closed down, and is now all boarded up. There had been a "For Sale" notice last month, but even this has gone. From a local resident.

We called in on the off chance for Sunday lunch on the way back from an event having read a good review recently. The maitre D runs a brilliant small team and the front of house couldn’t have been more accommodating - had taken drinks orders and suggested we enjoy the Sun whilst they set our table up. The food was really brilliant. I had pate for starters and my only criticism was that there was too much! Initially when I saw the large portion I assumed it would be average but it was a really lovely pate, just too much for me with two large slabs! Main was roast beef and it was brilliant, really lovely rolled sirloin served pink. We were on a hiding from the night before so neither indulged in the wine but they had a really lovely wine list and a busy restaurant. The service was lovely, so nice to see such a well turned out dining room complete with linen for Sunday service. 10/10 to front of house for all of their efforts here. Will definitely return in the week to sample their full menu(and wine list!)

Not a great meal, cold and poor quality meat, spec fried rice did not have anything in it, squid black bean sauce not nice, sauce was tepid a d tasteless

Very misleading! Huge signs outside saying dogs “always” welcome. Well it seems not If it’s raining, the bar person claims dogs are not welcome if it’s raining. It is a shame the bar man was so rude considering we had previously enjoyed a nice visit here.

Have visited the cafe many times. always had great a experience. We order cakes from time to time to have at home, always the best quality and great prices. next on the list is to have the afternoon tea which looks amazing. can not speak highly enough of the staff and the food. Dave Nutt.

I am cross with myself that I have never been before to this gorgeous place. Such a gem, very tasteful, beautiful tea, amazing toasted sandwich and lush freshly baked cakes. I had a really relaxing afternoon with my friends on the terrace in the sunshine and delicious food. Thankyou. Please can you let me have some of your china teacups as they are exquisite!!!!

This restaurant was great when it open. At the moment (September 2023) you are lucky if they have all the things in the menu… The waitress usually after checking with the kitchen will say that they don’t have what you just order…

Hi. I asked for green tea & was given green tea with mint. Took this back to the counter to query this & was told ‘it is green tea’. I asked to see the box of tea & it clearly said mint green tea. I asked if they would consider changing this to camomile tea instead, which they did. I said thank you but absolutely no response from the server when this camomile tea was placed in front of me. Disappointing customer service.

This takeaway is magic. I tried it a few times years ago and it was good but I always preferred the competition in the town. Been ordering from here recently since moved close to it and blown away every time. Excellent value for money and brilliant food. The chicken curry is one of the best I’ve ever had, proper thick, good quality chicken and tastes great. They do cash and card which is helpful. Super friendly staff, greeted by a young lady with a massive smile on her face. Do yourself a favour and order from here for a change if you haven’t already. You won’t be disappointed.

Popped in on a Sunday to try their sunday lunch . Will definitely go back . Lots of veg , choice of beef or pork. Other dishes available on their chalkboard including vegetarian. Service was very good . Please give it a go , you won't be disappointed. Also , the bar has a great choice of ales which are in great nick.

The food is delicious and and flavoursome, wigh great service cant complain!

We were welcomed in and they gladly accommodated our party of 5, orders taken quick, drinks all out quick and all food came out but one of the party their sour dough was burnt (very black) so we asked to return with less burnt toast, Sadly they forgot and when they did bring it it was wrong ingredients on top, my friend ate as she was so hungry and the rest of us has finished, we were feeling quite disappointed (we had asked the young staff a few times where it was before it arrived) however at the end the manager ( i assume) got wind out what happened he came over, apologised explained he had been stuck at front of house and wasn't aware of what had gone on, he agreed it was poor service and seemed genuinely mortified and wiped our entire bill. The way he handled this problem and reacted and his genuine distress at our poor experience showed he cares about his customers and cares what they put out and the service we get and we all really appreciated his apology. Aside from the issue all the other food and drinks were all super and if/ when we return to Stamford again I would re visit Cafe Black, the owner cares and happy to acknowledge and own mistakes

This Taco Bell on the crossroads opposite other food outlets was fantastic but unfortunately is permanently shut and boarded up now.
