The best restaurants serving British food in Axholme Central North Lincolnshire Yorkshire and The Humber

We wanted to treat ourselves, but with myself being vegan and my wife a vegetarian, finding a restaurant that caters for us weirdos is usually a challenge. The good news is that the Epworth Tap was able to accommodate us perfectly with a delicious three course meal. Steve and Sarah were perfect hosts and if you want to have some delicious wine, the simple thing to do is follow Steve’s advice!

It is very over priced for what you get.The service was friendly but it was slow, particularly when we first arrived there

What a lovely place . First time visiting today for coffee and cake and I am so glad I did. I will definitely be back. The staff and service were excellent, I didn’t realise you couldn’t pay on card but wasn’t a problem they were happy for me to go and get some cash from the post office, I felt really bad , thanks again 😊

Went out for couples tea on a Saturday. Opted for. Steak, medium rare and also ordered a slow cooked lamb shank. The lamb shank got good reviews, unfortunately not the same with the steak meal. Tough and chewy in patches, felt cut across the grain, wouldn’t say medium rare either. This is one of my favourite places to eat and the first time I’ve had a below par meal.

I have eaten at the Red Lion several times before, for Sunday lunch and for an evening meal. This year the quality has greatly deteriorated and when I took three people there for a thank you meal it was absolutely deplorable. I could not believe the plates of food which were served to us. On each plate was the roast meat, roast potatoes but half of each was burnt BLACK, Yorkshire pudding which was also burnt BLACK and mash potatoes. I had roast turkey which was very good, one person had roast beef which again was good the two other people had suppose roast ham which looked like rashers of bacon. We were served a dish of vegetables which consisted of carrots,peas,broccoli and red cabbage. They were all tasteless, the broccoli wasn’t cooked and the red cabbage was a poorly looking pink colour. So out of the whole meal the only things that were acceptable were the turkey, beef and mash potatoes. I told the waitress that the potatoes and Yorkshire puddings were burnt and also told the girl who took my payment at the bar that I was very disappointed with the food and why. She said she would tell the chef to which I pointed out that the chef already knows because he sent the Black burnt food out. Because this meal was my treat I felt very upset and disappointed but didn’t want to cause any embarrassment to my guests by making a fuss. It cost me £54.00 for the food which was definitely not up to anyone’s expectations. So sad because I used to really liked going to the red lion.

Enjoyed the tapas Thursday menu ! Superb value ..3 dishes , ciabatta and a large glass of wine for £20.. 5 of us all had excellent food.
