The best restaurants serving British food in Eagle, Swinderby and Witham St Hughs North Kesteven East Midlands

Unfortunately this has now closed, and is a home. SAD to say as was a fantastic tea room. I believe it has been closed for a year or so and property was sold.

Breakfast was nice. The service was a little frosty as was the temperature. There was a lot of people in coats and even scarves. I know heating is expensive but please turn up the thermostat a notch. This is the second time recently that I’ve been and I have been cold. 🥶 Nobody checked back on the breakfast but it was very tasty as was the coffee

Doddington House itself was under refurbishment, but that didn't matter. Not sure where the Afternoon Tea is happening normally (as the tea-room parking was opposite the house (other side of the road) , but the entrance was not in the house. A more recent building at the side, where the farm shop, café and their parking are located. No problem. We were welcomed friendly and guided to our table. A pleasant atmosphere, with a simple, but nice decoration. Enough space regarding Covid measures. When entering we were asked if any diets had to be taken into consideration. And yes, 1 of us is vegetarian. So a Vegetarian menu was added. We were offered some time to have a look at the menu. It mentioned several AT-menu's (bread, cakes and scone, with tea or coffee. For the vegetarian one, humus was used (in stead of meat). Everything was served shortly after ordering, together with a big pot of fresh tea. We opted for the traditional Afternoon Tea Menu's. A lot of food, good food. The ladies asked a few times, in a friendly, not imposing way, if everything was OK and if we wanted another pot of tea, when assuming it was getting empty. We, appreciated very much. We will surely return. As mentioned thee was a lot of good food, the scones were really nice, with cream and jam. And we were offered a box to take left-overs home. Thank you very much. A nice experience.

I am allergic to Garlic and often struggle to find things to eat in restaurants. The staff here were so friendly, they checked through ingredients and even offered to tweak the menu to make me something. Even though the pub is a Hungry Horse, the staff made it feel like a local, rather than a franchise.

Visited on 20th July with my wife. Ordered food, drinks and desserts. Everything came out at once within 10 minutes apart from a sauasage pannini, my wife had finished her food so after 35 minutes went to order another drink and find out where said pannini was. It was under a hot plate forgotten about, she was handed it and brought it out herself but ordered two lattes before leaving the counter. After 20 miniutes the lattes still hadnt arrived so i went to find out where they were, still sat on the counter !!!. I could understand if they were very busy but they clearly werent with several staff i can only describe as tossing it off around the till for an easly life, the waiting staff couldnt have been any slower and didnt seem to have a clue what they were doing, comming out shouting different foods and drinks out when tables numbers were given at the point of ordering. The only upside was the food which we had when it arrived was ok but the service and waiting time make the cafe a very poorly run venue, wont be visiting again based on this experience.
