SHOCKING…. Visited today with family, pre ordered night before but still had to wait over an hour… told carvery would remain open but on arrival it wasn’t n meals plated up!!! Worst carvery ever tasted, roast potatoes like bullets and couldn’t even cut the beef with a steak knife. Cousins 4 year old daughter physically choked on the beef and not one member of staff asked if she was ok or even came over to the table…….. table were dirty. Worst experience of dining out I have ever had. Will not not be returning!!!!

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.

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.

We chose this pub for a Saturday lunchtime family celebration, as some of us live in the south and others in the north, and it was half way between the different locations. We have done the same before, and the food was lovely then, and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. On this occasion, both were even better. The food was excellent, our waitress understood the importance of the meal to our family, and we were extremely well looked after as a result. The Reindeer is unassuming on the outside, but the staff and the food make it a gem on the inside!

Fantastic fresh cooked breakfast, lovely and hot. Sat in the window and watched the world go by. Friendly staff and fantastic prices. Will be back xxxx

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.
