The best restaurants serving British food in North Kesteven East Midlands

We had a lovely overnight stay in this great location xx the food was excellent evening meal and delicious breakfast with fabulous service from all the friendly staff … we had a good. Nights sleep in comfy bed etc ….. no complaints at all and would definitely recommend it ….. thank you xx

The lady on front was so rude to the staff she was working with , swore at one !! Shouting to someone in the kicken area behind the wall . Very rude and not polite to myself . Large order some missing . Potion was ridiculously small . Was about ready to leave and a staff member I think come in and she was swearing shouting and abuse to her the staff member said something and walked off !! I feel for the staff member it was totally uncalled for and completely unprofessional not sure if she is the owner or manager but she shouldn’t be working there she is awful and rude I front of paying customers !! I won’t return It’s a shame as food wasn’t bad but missing ! Sack the large lady out the front and your business will do better

One of the worst takeaways we have had in years. Chicken Satay undercooked and unpleasant, Chips definitely been reheated ( probably more than once ) and chow mein tasted less than fresh. Complete waste of money

I had beef, partner had turkey. Serving even smaller than a Toby paltry serving. Roast potatoes anaemic. Brussels like bullets. Only other veg there I eat were carrots, Al dente but edible. Partners turkey was fine. My beef was a good 50% gristle. As the manager came past he asked how our food was. I’m not a complainer but I did make an observation about the meat (and Brussels). He couldn’t have been more apologetic and fetched me a serving of turkey (and a ‘proper’ size serving). I bought home a slice of lemon gateau. While the one on display looked perfect, the piece I got was stodgy. Would we come back? I don’t know. The Toby in the town isn’t very good so that’s not an option. Until about a year ago I had never had a bad meal at Windmill Farm but the quality has got worse and their meat serving is now stingy. BUT can not fault the front of house staff. They have always been friendly and cheerful.

Couldn’t have enjoyed a meal more than I did today, food absolutely spot on and plentiful. This meal was well worth the money we opted for 2 course and with drinks for 3 of us cost £65.00. Will definitely be going back and recommending to family and friends.

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.

I really don’t like leaving bad reviews so I’ll start with the positives. This pub is within walking distance for us so we like to support it and have had drinks here often, the outdoor seating area is lovely. We decided to eat here last night (Monday), there were 3 of us. Menu was reasonable, typical pub food at a reasonable price. The waitress brought our sharing platter starter then disappeared, I had to go to the kitchen to get our own plates! The waitress then brought our main courses before actually clearing the empty starter plates, and god forbid if you ask for butter, our Lurpak portions were just slammed on to the table. The meal itself was absolutely fine, it was the service that was extremely disappointing. We weren’t even asked if we wanted desserts or coffee. As an observation, the lady who we assume to be the landlady (she’s been sitting on her backside in the bar area each time we’ve been in) appears to have very limited managerial and customer service skills; we have no issue with children in licensed premises, but there were children playing football in the bar area last night, and if these are the owners children, it’s not a very professional image. All in all, this wonderful big pub needs to pull its socks up, us customers want to support it but we want to be treated like customers and not as an inconvenience.

i had a very bad experience at this place, the food was very overpriced and way to greasy, there were flys all over the place and there was fish left out on the counter UNCOVERED!! not all of the employees had their hair tied up/covered. i also saw one of the employees vaping outside of the shop which i also thought was very unhygienic. there was also no food hygiene rating on show which didn’t come as a surprise as it’s probably a 0!!!!!!!!!!

I'm done with this bakery now. Twice now I've put in orders the night before my visit as I don't live in Navenby. The first time was just for a couple of cherry bakewells but I got there and nothing had been saved. On that occasion I just got told they knew they'd have some left so waited for me to get there to bag them up. My second order went in last night for today for a few different items. Just made the trip over to come and collect to be told the staff hadn't been told about my order. When I went in there was actually one of the items still left on the shelf but while the staff were trying to find an order for me someone else bought it...so everything I ordered and made the trip for was completely sold out. Staff have encouraged me a couple of times in the past to place orders as a lot of items tend to sell it quite early so ordering is something they actively encourage. But I'm fed up of wasting time and money coming here and being let down.

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.

Good news and bad news. Good news - Fish very nice. Free salt and vinegar. Bad news - Cold chips, dry bread roll, tea had a skin on it? Eat in the Resaurant, ate out of boxes with a wooden fork. 45p for a little sachet of sauce. Average service. I know it’s just fish and chip but it wasn’t a good experience.
