The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

The “Bricklayers’ is on the A52 at Old Leake, between Boston & Skegness…. I have dined here many times, my lovely son Raygan & his wife Jude treated me to a delicious Mothers-Day carvery lunch yesterday, the Bricklayers-team did a wonderful job, a special mention to Richard (landlord) and Kev (chef) they made my special day extra special… thank-you so very much 🤗🤗 Every one is welcome here 🐾🐾 … ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Spacious room with sofa and comfy chairs and attached bathroom. Breakfast was the best I can remember having for a long time, particularly liked delicious sausage and crumbly black pudding.

Stopped off here on the way home after a weekend away and had the BEST carvery! Would highly recommend. Even think of driving the 1.5 hours to visit again

Lovely meal and friendly staff.

First time we've visited here for a long time on a Sunday as we found the Pig & Muck some years ago, where the Carvery was outstanding. Unfortunately, that's now changed hands and a Carvery is no longer offered, so we tried The Crown again. The Pros: Staff were all lovely, really friendly and very attentive. We've always liked the interior of this Pub and it had been refreshed since our last visit, many years ago. Cons: Welcome at the actual Carvey was "what do you want mate"! What can I get for you, without the mate, would seem more appropriate. First dissapointing thing food wise, was only a choice of 3 meats. Perhaps we were spoilt at The Pig & Muck, as there was always beef, pork, pork belly, lamb, gammon and turkey on a Sunday. The meat we had at The Crown though was good. Frozen Yorkshire Puddings were also dissapointing. Most establishments serving a great Sunday Lunch pride themselves on homemade Yorkshire. The Cauliflower and Brocoli Cheese was just awful. The sauce was as runny as water. It seems the staff are the biggest asset here, as the Carvery was not good enough to return. I know the long established Chef left a few months ago, so maybe this is problem.

Nice place for food and drink. Visited with the family and very accommodating including child friendly with high chairs.

Lovely lunch for 6 on a Saturday afternoon. Good food and service as always.

I popped in for lunch as I was feeling peckish and had a burger. WOW! what a burger the meat was thick well cooked and delicious. Never thought a burger could taste so good. I would recommend the pub for food and its good value. They also do lots of different events and entertainment on different days of the week. Well worth a visit.

Good food and friendly staff. Clean and hygienic

We chose to visit during a live music event, the band and staff were excellent and friendly. My only detractor was that some of the building looked a little dated.

Great food and great staff nice place

This was our first visit. I reserved a 3hr slot as we were meeting family for Christmas. A family member ordered the pulled pork burger, she is not a fussy eater but what was served looked like dog food. The pulled pork had disintegrated. I tried some and the texture was not nice. Coated in a very large amount of bbq sauce. Not what you expect when you order pulled pork, you expect the nice shredded pieces of pork. This was mush. I raised this with the waitress and they said they can cook a plain one as there is a issue with there pulled pork, but the waitress said she would need to charge me for the new burger. This is the first time I've come across this. If your food is not up to standard and doesn't taste nice is is rude to charge them for something they haven't eaten. I went ahead and got charged with it as it was more important at the time to enjoy our family time and make it memorable than to be arguing with the waitress over extra charges. When the new burger was brought out the burger itself was stone cold, to the point where the cheese slice wasn't even melted so it had clearly been sitting around in the kitchen for a bit before serving it. Which I don't understand why as they were not busy there was only 1 other table dining at that time with 4 people on. My family member decided to eat it but diddnt enjoy it and left most of it. About an hour and a half into our booking the waitress comes to our table and said I've rung your bill up you can pay at the bar. Which made some of my family feel like they wanted us to leave even though I had booked the table for 3hrs. Overall decor is nice. But the food is awful. Dry cold burgers and pulled pork mushy and customer service bad, charging us for a new burger when there food is not up to standard.

Great village pub Good food good beer Great people

We came here with our two kids on the morning my partner was expecting our our third. We got a milkshake and bit of cake each and it was delicious! Was huge (kids couldn't finish their milkshakes!) and was clearly freshly made. Heard great things about their afternoon tea so plan to visit in the future for that!

In my opinion one of the best chippy's in the town
