The best restaurants serving British food in Alford East Lindsey East Midlands

Shame used to be the go to pub for food in the area. Thought I’d try it again as very local but so very different poor food quality, we had four different lunch choices all were terrible. Meat was tough, mac cheese bland, I could go on. I was offered a slight discount but didnt feel it was a genuine offer my advice would be give this place a miss

No food as apparently the fans weren't working in the kitchen but by judging the cleanliness of the glasses our drinks were served in I'm glad we didn't get a food order there. Also no hand soap in the gents toilet.

Excellent pub dog friendly too the food is very good plus they do doggie dinners good prices made fresh very clean Very large menu

By far one of the best if not the best place to eat in Alford and the surrounding areas , great service , great food , portion size.is huge and it's all top quality you couldn't ask for anything more

This was my husband's first trip out since his stroke we ordered tea and scones the tea was the best I've had outside my own house the scones were yummy but my husband dropped his cause he shakes a bit but they insisted on giving him another one such kindness is lovely so thank you Alford deli we had a wonderful day out cheers mo

This establishment has such good reviews I expected better. Two fish, one portion of chips one small peas, this came in at £15.60. Fair enough, everything has gone up. However, quality matters. We are not local, local- but not far away. We certainly won’t go back. The shop is clean and the staff are very friendly. The food lets it down. I have never had a fish that is cut so thin and then fried with the skin on meaning that you can’t eat half of it! The fish was tasteless and slightly grey looking….. wondering how fresh it was? The mushy peas was a tiny portion. Lacking in flavour. In future will be back to our favourite “proper little chippy” in Skegness.

Visited lunchtime without booking. Wonderful welcome and a table was found for 3 of us. Cafe was very busy but the atmosphere was great. The staff were so friendly and one was singing. We were served very quickly considering how busy they were. We were off to a funeral after lunch so we were so pleased with the service from the staff at Willow. We will definitely call in again when travelling from Eastbourne to Linconshire.

We have used this restaurant for a number of years now, mainly for visits with my father in law as he is a keen gardener. Have to say that I’m not sure that standards are as good as in the past. We think the menu really needs a refresh, as it hasn’t changed since we first moved to the area 7 years ago. As an example, my wife had what purported to be Italian chicken today. Little more than chicken with tinned tomatoes and cheese slapped on top! Need to make more of an effort I think.
