The best restaurants serving British food in Boston East Midlands

Highly recommend this little gem of a restaurant. 3rd visit whilst in the area visiting family and had an amazing lunch. Will definitely be visiting again when we are in the area and are disappointed we don't live closer!

We popped in for some lunch whilst visiting the Boston fair and had such a lovely experience. The woman serving us couldn’t have been more welcoming and made us feel comfortable from start to finish! We had our 3 year old with us and the ladies inside the kitchen told us they had some books inside that she could take out to keep her occupied. Food came out quickly and tasted delicious. There is a little private courtyard you can choose to sit in, and because of that we were able to enjoy the sunshine! Despite the fact that the kitchen is located amongst a busy town, and during the summer fair- it still felt lovely and quiet and private. Overall a lovely experience, would definitely recommend and will be returning.

A coffee shop with 14th century origins - lovely coffee and cakes. Then a BONUS, we were treated to a tour of the Victorian theatre which is attached to the coffee shop building. This a gem of a building just waiting to be renovated. Jo, our guide, was excellent. Passionate about the building and the people who have passed through its doors, she gave us a fantastic tour. Many thanks and good luck with the project. We'll be back.

Amazing food and service would highly recommend for lunch portion was enormous! We will definitely return to try the breakfasts.

Such a warm reception by all the staff and an extremely relaxed environment. The home cooked food was exceptional. Will definitely be back.

Visited recently for Sunday Carvery a group of four adults an excellent surprise 10 minutes drive from the centre of Boston and fresh food big portions friendly staff especially the proprietor. Loads of parking I will be coming back.

Love this place, quality food, value too and a smiles at the bar. Nice selection of beers too.

Visiting the area for the day, we located The Thatched Cottage via Tripadvisor. Booked a table for late lunch. Fortunately a pleasant day as having our furry friend with us we had to sit outside. Our lunch was as good as hoped for; a generous portion of roast lamb, served on a bed of lovely mash, accompanied by red cabbage, yorkshire pud, roasties and apricot stuffing. The sides of creamy blue cheese leeks and trio of carrots, french beans and swede were colourful and tasty. Our meal was served promptly and the half pints of Doom Bar washed our lunch down nicely. Friendly service A thoroughly enjoyable lunch, a good find which we would recommend We may not have booked had it been a cold wet day, delighted it wasn't. Note to TTCR, perhaps look at a doggy owner corner in your bar for diners over the winter months?

Went for dinner not been for about six months. I had the cottage pie the meat was ok but the potato topping had lumps of uncooked potato in it which spoilt it. It was served with vegetables and the cabbage again was uncooked I had three solid lumps of what looked like the core of the cabbage, my fork wouldn’t even go in it. The second meal was ok. I mentioned it to the waitress and was offered a free dessert but would rather have had a decent main in the first place. Not really worth the money.

We were so pleased that merrimans has startet take outs again. We ordered two meals which were ready on time, just the right portion size, perfectly cooked and delicious to eat at a reasonable price. The menu is extensive and is bound to be popular with discerning diners. We highly recommend.

The food was ok, must have been a specials evening as not much to choose from. They seemed understaffed and busy, service after we got our food was poor. The chips were excellent, possibly a new season local potato, the desserts were also very good.
