The best restaurants serving British food in South Holland East Midlands

A very warm welcome, friendly staff, a wonderful selection of amazing cakes at the counter and a comprehensive and sensibly priced menu. It was lunchtime but my son had the full English breakfast (available all day) and an Amaretto Milkshake (he said it was the best thing he's ever tasted) and I had a tea and hot sausage sandwich on white sourdough bread. Couldn't fault it at all - freshly cooked and spot on.

Lovely old style pub with great simple charm. The staff are very freindly and welcoming. Plenty of parking and and very nice outside area. Traditional pub furniture with the classic brass wall decorations. Additionally there as sofa's to sit on for that more relaxed and casual drink. A pool table & lovely food available too.

We stayed on the over night motor home pitch with electricity, water, shower, toilet facilities etc. It was very good place to stay with the added benefit of excellent food and drink. We had the fillet steak and it was cooked to perfection would highly recommend and the Landlord was fabulous, very welcoming and excellent service.

What a hidden gem! Scotia and Lisa are fabulous hosts. As a family in a campervan looking for a stop over on the east coast this ticked a lot of boxes. Free stopover in their carpark if you buys drinks at the pub. They have an honest shop with all the bits you may need, milk, chocolate etc a washing up sink and washing machine. The pub had a great atmosphere, darts boad, and kids were made to feel welcome. We stayed over for NYE and the pub put on a small free buffet and kareoke. We also walked to the village hall that charged adults £2 entry for a kids disco and cheap drinks. The following morning we were offered a full English and a cuppa for £7. There is also an electrical point in the honesty shop you can use overnight for a charge of £7. Not much in the area but great for bird watches on the marshes or a cheap and cheerful stop over.

Good service and good food. Relaxing with family

Visited Friday night with close friends, the food and the service was exceptional. Highly recommend. Will definitely be rebooking. Nothing was too much trouble for our servers Maddie and Kamila. Looking forward to seeing you again.

A beautiful pub, so cosy and homely, very good service, friendly welcoming staff.

Lovely place to visit, completely run by wonderful volunteers. Highly recommend a visit.

Stayed here for 3 nights whilst working in the area.. what a beautiful place. The Mash Tun room was quirky with everything you could possibly need including a tranquil garden to the rear. The bluebell inn has a proper country pub vibe, amazing food and the lovely family that run it really make you feel welcome. Can only wish my stay was longer!

Amazing Yorkshire pudding with stew and dumplings. Lovely chilli with jacket potatoes and cheese. The food was cooked to perfection and served promptly. The cafe has been refurbished and is lovely and spacious. Served and prepared by a lovely couple. Very friendly.

“Two teas and a pot of hot water please” (not to make it go further, just my wife likes very weak tea). The assistant replied “that’ll be £7.10”!!! I politely responded saying “I am not paying £7.10 for two teas” and walked away. I also noticed that a toasted teacake was £4!! Needless to say we won’t be going back.

Lovely little cafe tucked away just off the A17, friendly staff, huge teapot, at least 3 cups each! Lovely light lunch of homemade soup and bread. Car park , clean loo

Found this little tea shop and it looked lovely. Friendly service. Cheese scone was lovely, warmed in microwave. Sausage roll, also warmed in microwave, was very greasy; probably better eaten cold. Both appeared to be home made. Decided against the cake as only two to choose from; we were going to order the cake platter and glad we didn’t as £14 for two choices would be disappointing. Unfortunately the view from our table was of the kitchen. I realise that this could happen anywhere but to see it is not good- the man decided to sort the bin. He took off the lid and arranged the full bag, then added some more rubbish to it. Yes I watched intently to see what he did next. Then he picked up a tea towel and began drying cutlery and putting it away. He did NOT wash his hands. He then went back to the bin and moved it, with the tea towel in his hand. He then came into the eating area and took an order. He then returned to the kitchen to start the order. At no point did he wash his hands and he was still using the tea towel that had most definitely touched the bin. We left and however cute this place looks, we will not be returning. They need to look at their hygiene rules and routines urgently.

Firstly the food and the staff are excellent (5*), it is when you leave your problems begin. For some reason and probably cost, the car park is not tarmaced, it is just made up with rolled, crushed stone with little maintenance since installed. The stone is now well worn down and holds water in places, so much so when you return to your car the bottom of your shoes are covered in wet crushed stone residue which walks straight into your car. You then need to let it dry on your mats and clean them the following day.

Love rumblings for a traditional filling English breakfast but they have other great things on offer as well as really nice takeaway rolls and sandwiches. Very friendly staff and great value for money overall
