The best restaurants serving British food in Lincoln East Midlands

We visited for a Sunday lunch, travelling several miles from Grimsby. We have been before, and it was excellent. We chose a carvery although there was a full menu to choose from. The carvery was is really tasty and plentiful. My wife also chose a yummy white chocolate dessert to follow. The service was first class and very welcoming.the young staff were really chatty and polite. Although you can call in and take you're chance it's best to book. Ample car parking and easy to access.

Enjoyed a Sunday roast….. Offered a Good choice of meats or fish & chips. Piping hot food freshly cooked & plentiful carved choice of one or 2 sorts of meat. A Small or regular portion is available at a very good price. Followed by a varied selection of desserts which are a very generous portion. Lovely friendly service in a traditional public house setting. Would recommend without hesitation.

I am so lucky to live local to this wonderful tea shop. The BLT sandwich is to die for. Lovely, fresh homemade coleslaw and salad to go with a very generous, well presented sandwich, and of course crisps. I can only rave about every aspect of the place. Staff are welcoming, food is delish, atmosphere inviting, well-priced. The only thing is, it is so popular that you can't always get in. Luckily for me, they have sustainable packaging for takeaways. Do book if you want to sit-in though. Oh, the coffee is also fabulous.

Simple but good, especially for airplane spotters. Alwaystrying to help and very friendly. Nothing wrong.

Excellent breakfast made with quality ingredients. Definitely going back again. The lunch menu looks good too, plenty of choice.

We had dinner here one quiet weekday evening. We had a very nice 3 course nice meal chosen from an extensive menu. The helpings were just of the right size for us (as pensioners), the food was tasty and served hot. The waitress was really polite, helpful and pleasant. The restaurant is located in a rectangular room well away from the bar areas, not particularly intimate but restful (I think it doubles up as a function room). There is a decent sized free car park at the rear of the pub (access is from a side road, not directly from the main road through Sleaford). Price wise, it was very reasonable. We would happily eat here again.

Today I visited the Horse and Groom with a friend on the recommendation of a colleague. On entering we were welcomed and advised to find a table, I was so spoilt for choice with the menu and specials board but decided to go for the steak and ale pie and it did not disappoint. The staff were friendly and accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious and well presented. Thankyou so much, Iwill be back as I need to try the Sunday roast next as I've heard so many compliments about it

Takes the mick when you tell the bar staff to take one for themselves and they try and take a fiver! Ordered a carlsberg, paid with a £10 note and got about £1.80 change. Safe to say I took my tip back and I will not be visiting again. Thanks Anthea!

Un lugar fantástico. Comida excepcional. Tan triste que no hay suficiente personal para llenar todo su potencial. El personal llevó al extremo. Necesito más personal.

Love this place. Fish and chips excellent.

Such a shame, because the refurbishment on this place is wonderful, in a great location, but we won't be back. Dropped in on Monday at 11.40 (Advertised as open from 11.30) and were greeted by a reasonably friendly waitress/maitre'd whose second sentence was to abruptly inform us that we couldn't order until 12pm - No problem there - However we were asked what we would like to drink as we sat and asked for 2 coffees, and the same waitress had to come back and apologise for them taking so long, because the machine hadn't been turned on - All of which begs the question as to why they open at 11.30 if they're not ready for customers. The menu itself is well thought out, reasonably priced, with some good options for all. I went for the Signature Burger "loaded" with Smoked BBQ Brisket (one tablespoons worth isn't what I'd call loaded) which came with luke warm onion rings from the freezer (no real problem with the bought in rings, but at least serve them at a decent temperature), and my wife ordered the Chicken, Bacon and Avocado Salad - complete with rotten avocado! It would have been far better for the chef to say they didn't have any avocados, than serve up food not suitable for consumption. The waitress who served our food and table checked us was very apologetic and offered to take the salad back to the kitchen (my wife declined as the rest of the salad was tasty enough), and she spoke to the manager who took £4 off the bill, but unfortunately, serving rotten food is definitely a good enough reason not to return to an establishment.

Received a jacket potato with a table spoon of filling. There was no bacon bits, we could hardly find the cheese, no butter. I asked where the filling was to be told that was the portion size. I asked for a refund, but they clearly ignored me or had selective hearing, and the chap just wandered off to serve other people and I was just stood there wondering what was going on. Wouldn't you ask the customer if there was anything else if they were still stood there, if nothing else to clarify things. He was a miserable chap, and I was polite, saying it's not their fault, I knew I'd get a better meal elsewhere. I then went to weatherspoons and got a jacket potato from there. The price was also cheaper than the William Foster, it came with a side salad and dressing, and plenty of cheese you could see and a pat of butter. I've added both pictures for comparison... Very disappointed. By the way, I'd only touched the jacket to open it open thinking there was filling inside... Boy was I surprised.

Todo fue increíble, nos las arregló para encajar antes de que cerraran con muy poco tiempo de antelación. El personal era muy amable. Fuimos a un carvery y fue increíble, la comida fresca se puso cuando llegamos allí. En general muy buena experiencia, sin duda recomendaría y volvería de nuevo!

Great pub and excellent food!! Served by Hannah, we had such a fun evening listening to the band. All of our party commented on how good the cheesy chips were!

Someone has done a wonderful renovation of this hotel probably costing millions. However the staff consist of youngsters with zero communication skills, zero manners and zero desire to serve clients. I took my two daughters and son there for dinner. The bar is waiter service only and drinks were slammed down with a bad attitude. I went into the restaurant to enquire about our table and five or six young staff were hanging around the bar in there and totally ignored ne standing there like a lemon. I decided to leave rather than endure anymore and one of my daughters also came with me. The other two stayed for dinner which cost £120 without drinks and they said the service was slow and poor but that the food was good. I will never go back and am amazed that so many people were there accepting this level of service.
