The best restaurants serving British food in Five Village Boston East Midlands

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?

We stopped off at Pinchin's Farm Shop on our way to Norfolk as it's just off the A17 (southbound) and therefore convenient, if a little tricky to find. The farm shop and cafe are in what looks to be an old barn. From the outside, you'd be forgiven for thinking you'd come to the wrong place, but overlook the uPVC door and you enter a delightfully quaint old barn with a great selection of vegetables, fresh meats, cheeses and other local produce with the cafe tables taking up around half of the building. We we warmly welcomed and quickly seated with menus. I ordered a baguette with Lincolnshire sausages whilst the other two in our party ordered a plain sausage sandwich. Whilst the sandwiches did take quite a while to arrive, they were definitely worth the wait. The baguette was freshly baked and the sausages perfectly cooked. It came with a small side-salad which was fresh. We all agreed that the sausages were fantastic. Pinchin's Farm Shop cafe is a homely little place and definitely worth a visit if you are passing.

Finding a pub that has great service , tastefully styled and good food is sometimes a challenge nowadays. I had a positive experience here today . The Ale Garden is perfect, comfy seating and stylish cabanas . The attention to detail is spot on and the set lunch certainly did not disappoint. Whitebait and then a Minute Steak were perfectly cooked we had a a delightful 3 hour luncheon with attentive yet discreet service. Well done Team . We will be back .
