Lovely fresh cooked food, hubby had large breakfast with chips instead of bubble & black pudding. I had burger and chips. We really enjoyed it and it was piping hot. Would recommend.

It the best coffee shop in melton Mowbray you can meet friends for a catch up the people who work in there is so nice x Lov you all

Off the beaten track this is a gem. Called for Sunday lunch. It was an excellent meal with great service. Chef called to the table to ensure all was as we wanted it. All staff were friendly and professional. Well worth a visit.

We have had lunch here probably once a month for some year, and enjoyed the food and friendly atmosphere. The view is great, although I find the the chairs uncomfortable. This time there was a new menu. We always enjoy some salad with a panini or toastie or sandwich. However we were told this was not available - all these options are served only with crisps and coleslaw. Hardly a healthy option! So my husband chose a BLT; (bacon lettuce, tomato) ---- evidently they did have salad! We did not eat the crisps. My husband had a cold drink, and I had tea and I asked for an extra cup for him to have a little tea also. Not Allowed! I don't think we will return. There are other pleasant places to eat in Spalding.

Not been here for over a year, came with family and friends for a meal and it is 100% better, amazing food, amazing staff!!

First of all this place stinks of frying cooking oil , it’s really off putting, when I left I stank of frying cooking oil and so did my hair and clothes …yuk ! The toilets weren’t very clean with the toilet in particular being covered in yellow wee stains, again yuk ! We had to wait over 30 minutes to be served. Despite this , the staff were very friendly and welcoming. But if you are after a traditional afternoon tea this isn’t the one , it was cheese / ham sandwiches with a lettuce garnish and that was it for the savoury selection, no crisp or sausage rolls just poor quality sandwiches. The waffles of choice were good along with the pancakes, fruit, ice cream and melted chocolate. If you want afternoon tea in a stinky grubby little cafe then go for it, if you want traditional afternoon tea then avoid this place.

I have visited this venue twice in May & July.Lovely spacious dining hall but can be noisy if very busy as it's high ceilings. Super fresh food & Cakes etc . Friendly staff , reasonable price Mushroom risotto (watch out hard stalks) Lovely views, parking free. A lovely spot.

Little gem of a pub. We were camping nearby and needed a distraction from the rain. Went over for lunch and was very impressed with the food served. Great portion sizes and I would say above average quality from what you would expect in a pub lunch. A fly on the wall would have laughed at us all oohing and ahhing at each plate coming to the table! Everything ordered was devoured with pleasure. The staff were very friendly and the wait for food was quick. Lovely day out.

Popped in for a Sunday lunch with my partner as we driving past on the way to Clumber park. Staff was very polite and friendly. We both had Sunday lunch with the choice of beef or turkey or both, we had both and it didn't disappoint. Plenty of meat and good choice vegetables, lovely home made Yorkshire puddings and plenty of gravy. For desert we had chocolate and raspberry fondant which was also vey tasty and filling. Would definitely recommend. 9/10 trip out, my only criticism would be the lack of card services. As currently they have no card facility's just cash only. However the lovely woman that was serving said that they was looking into getting this. Will be returning again once in the area.

Brilliant menu, good sized portions and value for money. Very welcoming and polite staff. Highly recommended as service is quick.

Paul and Fari are such nice friendly people. The bread making day was superb, as was the lunch and other refreshments. We feel we not only learnt a new skill but made two great friends. Absolutley well worth the time and money.

Is it closed , i wished to take over the property for a restaurant , please do respond your decision, thank you Sorry if you are not selling…

I went with my wife and Belgian Malinois dog to this pub that did food, the menu is good and not overly complicated, some good hearty food available that is freshly prepared for you, this means you are waiting a little for your meal but if you want fresh food this is what happens and we did not mind at all. The hosts are very pleasant and attentive, I found the drinks extremely reasonable and the soft drinks as I was driving below what you would normally pay at other venues which I think is great for the designated driver. The food we had was lovely, I had a freshly made steak and ale pie with mash and vegetables and my wife had scampi with chips and a salad accompanied by tartar sauce. They meals are plentiful and filling but if you can manage a starter or pudding these are available too. It is a very dog friendly pub and the lady behind the bar gave our dog a treat after asking if it was ok, I think she made a friend for like lol. If you are at the watermill leisure park it is less than 5 minutes drive and is well worth the visit. There seems to be quizzes on a Thursday and Friday and Bingo on a Sunday, there seems to be a lot of locals that is always a good sign, locals call it the Sali, well worth a visit if in the area.

We have just had a lovely 1 night, 2 x golf at MH with friends. We have been a few times before and are happy to return as it has always been a lovely venue. Hotel, golf, food, staff can’t be faulted. However, after golf and before we were heading home we went to the Spike Bar and ordered food in our individual couples. Some time later one of our friends received his sandwich/chips. Then we had a long wait and my husband received his Panini/chips. After a long wait my friend and I asked where our food was as our husbands had both finished theirs. Unfortunately the staff serving us were not helpful or reassuring so we had to request a refund. Sadly this was extremely poor customer service, which we do not expect from Morley Hayes. Two ladies left to go home feeling hungry and disappointed.
