The best restaurants in South Kesteven East Midlands

Staff were polite and friendly and food was good. It's the first time I'd been at lunch time. Will definitely do it again.

Surprisingly decent store for a Costa. Looks like their updated store design, but this one had friendly helpful staff to match - well that works ! Several recent Costa's I've been too haven't had any vegan savoury choices , but this one clearly has amazing distribution collections as had the Vgn toastie at least. If all Costa's were like this i would visit more.

Got no drink and we order 2 coockie doughs and it was just 2 ice creams

Friendly people, nice coffee while I waited for my train (for a loooong time so this really was at the Costa in town not at the station 🙂)

Hardly rapid service but friendly staff. Can be busy with on line orders toward the weekend 🙄

This is a nice place but the food is terrible. I've tried Most the menu over the last few months and have had over 40 meals here and it's the worst wetherspoons I've been too for food, 95% of the meals were missing items and what came out was either burnt or just not nice to taste.

What can I say a decent whopper burger. Fries were a bit too salty though.

There are other ways of ensuring that customers abide by the Covid rules that do not involve bellowing across tables in front of other punters. A friend was in the process of putting her mask on when instead of politely approaching her and asking if she could do so, the owner barked at her from a few tables away to"Put your mask on NOW". No pleasantries, no manners. No consideration of whether she may have had a hidden disability which would have rendered her exempt from mask-wearing in the first place. When he was spoken to politely and calmly to suggest that as someone with a hidden disability, it was not appropriate to shout at someone in this way and that some manners would not have gone amiss, we were met with a rather curt "I'll police my pub how I want to, if you don't like it, then leave". We had no issues with the rules and were not breaking them. Our issue was with the owner's sheer rudeness and lack of tact in enforcing the same. More consideration needs to be given to those who are possibly exempt and paying customers should not be shown up in front of others this way. A balance needs to be struck between enforcing the rules and having consideration for others that may have genuine exemptions. The encounter has left a sour taste in our mouths and we will have no issue warning others of the unpleasant experience. Our custom will now be taken elsewhere.

Awful. Sat in restaurant for 10 minutes completely ignored whilst they served customers and packed orders, eventually gave up and walked out. Avoid this place like the plague.

Came first thing so quiet. Tom made our drinks with TLC. First time visiting and was a positive experience.

Had an awful experience at this Wetherspoons . My partner went to order food at the bar , in which a lady at the bar asked if anybody was waiting, my partner said yes and she didn’t rely so she went to put something in the dishwasher . When she came back she asked the same question and my partner again said yes in which she made the rude comment “you could of said something the first time” My partner brushed it off and went to order our food , she then ID him and got really rude asking for other forms of identification in which he had to use his bank card (his ID was legit he’s 24) She then again made another comments under her breathe and said she needed to see my ID as he was ordering for me too . I then had to go up to the bar (which wasn’t an issue ) and I handed her my ID . She then proceeded to shout at me and say “ if your going to have an attitude I’m not serving you it’s my job to make sure your not underage “ My partner was obviously getting annoyed with how she spoke to me in which I told him it’s fine and she then started mouthing off again . We then asked if we “could please be served by someone else” She then refused to serve us cancelled our whole order on the till and told us we couldn’t have any food and to leave . Also refused to tell us her name . This was on the 28th November just after 6pm. She had black braids and and glasses and was wearing a body cam so hope this gets checked . We did then just have to order on the app but I’ve never been spoken to like that ever . Rudest experience I’ve ever had.

Excellent lunch and found all staff to be very pleasant. Most enjoyable, with a relaxed atmosphere - so will definitely return! Thank you.

We have visited the café at Waterside quite a few times and have always enjoyed the food and have never had any issues with the service before this occasion. We visited on a Sunday morning, and we were seated pretty much as soon as we walked in and the waitress took our drink and food order within 10 minutes of sitting down and she advised us that there might be a 20 minute wait for our food to come out as they were quite busy, but our drinks would come out quite soon. We understood a delay in the food as yes it was very busy that day. Our drinks did come out quite quickly but unfortunately the food was very delayed, and we got our breakfast just over an hour after ordering. We did ask one of the staff members to check up on our food after waiting roughly 40 minutes and they advised that it should be out soon. I had ordered the smashed avocado on sourdough bread with some smoked salmon and my partner had The Waterside Shovel breakfast (full english). The food again was very nice as always, just such a shame on the service this time. We did mention this on the way out to pay and they kindly took our drinks off the bill. We will still return here for breakfast again and hope that it is not so busy next time.

absolutely disgusting food and service. Lady called Catharine served me on the till, said ‘what am I doing with this lady here’ I was holding a baby whilst trying to get my food, no offer to help me at all. The tuna crunch Sandwhich was vile. Tasted out of date and just disgusting. Also the till staff always disappear so there’s always people stiff there for ages. Won’t return.

Heidi was great, bought us lots of alcohol, sweets and food. Ladida trip advisor making me use 100 characters when not fit!
