The best restaurants serving Other european-cuisines food in South Kesteven East Midlands

We visited today. We usually use Mad Hatters Tea Room but it was full. So we headed across the road to Lillies Lavander Hat and we were super surprised at how great the little place is! The breakfast is epic! The food is very good quality- the sausage in particular was very, very good quality and tasted so good!! Often cafes scrimp on sausage and bacon but that is not the case here! They also do a proper flat white which is great because often I have an issue finding smaller places that actually do proper flat whites so this is another win for this little place! So, if you want a great breakfast and a proper flat white. Make sure you visit this place!! Don’t be a sheep and just go to the other place across the road! Let’s support our other small businesses! If you don’t use them, you’ll lose them!

Food and drinks are delicious, but portions quite small and not all menu items available. Service is friendly and helpful but forgetting - said to come back in 2 minutes to take our order and disappeared. Good central location, vintage atmosphere and clean well-stocked amenities 👍

The setting was lovely and the staff attentive but there are no excuses for over pricing of this magnitude. The vegetarian menu in particular was ludicrous. £30 for a cauliflower steak is outrageous and totally unjustified as it was neither inventive nor particularly well executed. There are plenty of restaurants in London offering inventive and delicious vegetarian and vegan food for a fraction of the price. You should only consider charging this amount if you can deliver something exceptional.

My wife and I have been once previously and we enjoyed our lunch. Today however We were being rushed, even during the starter with one lad hovering and asking to take plates even when my wife was eating. Fish and chips OK, chips raw in the middle. Coffee absolutely vile, undrinkable bilge. We had the starters from their "auberge" menu and fish & chips from the a la carte menu, coffee, one pint of Abbott and a glass of wine £88.00. An absolute joke! They did offer to refund the coffee as they saw we couldn't drink it but we'd already paid. Our second and last visit. Our second and last visit to this nice looking pub.

Went in on spec on a busy weekday morning. There were plenty of people in the place but as we approached an empty table to see what the notice on it said, a thoroughly unpleasant and unwelcoming young member of staff snarled 'it's reserved, there's room upstairs'. I commented 'wow, what a welcome'. We duly went upstairs and when mentioned to the same member of staff that we were ready to order she snipped back 'there are two more people to take orders from before you'. We duly left. What an ungracious, unsophisticated young woman. To behave like that at work, presumably with her employer's blessing, beggars belief. No care, no flair, no manners, no panache. There are plenty other wonderful places to have a coffee in Stamford, we will patronise them from now on. In mentioning our experience to a neighbour locally she commented she'd experienced similar. What a shambles Fika, come on managers and get this all changed round.

Didn’t know what to expect but this was a wonderful experience. The staff were lovely and the food even better. Thank you so much we can’t wait to come again.

What a great find. Friendly and helpful staff. Great flat white and a delicious cardamom and cinnamon bun. Took my cash without any problem, which I appreciated as this is becoming increasingly rare. Will definitely be back when I next visit Stamford.

Well I must say what a disappointment I’ve always raved about the belly pork here and I loved it that much, I wouldn’t have anything else when I visited, not been for a while but looking forward to my memories of it. Noticed it had gone up in price for a lot less, couple of different things added ie black pudding which I don’t like so didn’t ask for it. It arrived nothing like it used to be, half the thickness of pork and soggy crackling what happened there ? It should be crunchy crackling like it used to be, small amount of slice potato tiny amount of cabbage. I was waiting for the generous portion of veg and homemade chips that used to accompany the meal obviously don’t get them anymore ? Such a shame! One positive the young lady who served us was very nice I think had just started working there. Left embarrassed after telling my friend how good it used to be .

Staff were polite and friendly and food was good. It's the first time I'd been at lunch time. Will definitely do it again.
