The best restaurants serving British food in Woodhall Spa East Lindsey East Midlands

We have eaten here before but have only ever sat outside for drinks/snacks. On this occasion we sat indoors for a full cooked meal at lunchtime. The internal decor was pleasant and the ambiance excellent. Despite being almost full there was a very quiet and refined atmosphere. The menu was varied, interesting and most mains were around £15. Everything we had was delicious and well cooked. The shepherds pie was exceptionally good - the best I’ve ever had. Our only criticism would be the rather too ’al dente’ veg. The service was exemplary and we will definitely return.

Very nice pub atmosphere and the food was good quality, fresh and hot. It was a busy evening, as they had a Christmas Party in the banquet room, but they were attentive and made us feel welcome. Lovely open fire always helps the mood.

We stumbled across this gorgeous little cafe when our intended cafe was too full to accommodate us. It’s lovely, I liked the interiors and the staff were friendly. My coffee was lovely (although a little hotter than I’m used to). I had the Cherry Bakewell cake and that was lovely, full of flavour and very sweet, gluten free too if I remember rightly. Cute little find.

We love visiting the bakery, the sandwiches are to die for and the kids and wife love the cakes! When it’s busy, being inside is a squeeze, and if you’re trying to be polite and wait until you’re called, you’ll be overlooked! We normally have a pleasant exchange with staff, although the last two visits it couldn’t be further from that. First time it was busy so we shrugged it off, but the 2nd visit the shop was empty and it came across like they wanted to get us out as quick as possible! Overall it’s a great place to take the kids for a treat on the weekend!

We known Janet for a long time and when we heard the news we just could not believe it as we saw her last September when we called in for lunch Our friends live outside Hull but we come from Surrey and we were up for RAF Connisby Air Show as we up this year for the show but we did go to Woodhall Spa and passed Janet tea room with sadden heart.ii

Fantastic hidden gem of a cafe in the heart of Woodhall Spa in the Broadway centre. I popped in today as I had a parcel for the owner. I was treated to a slice of Victoria cake and it was amazing! Please support this lovely local business, I will be visiting again and again! Postie Cat from Louth

Wonderful Sunday Lunch, very friendly carvery chef. Lovely choice of well cooked local meat. Plenty of veg to choose from, personally cannot fault The INN for Sunday lunch. Does get busy however I think this is a good sign!! Looking forward to next week already.

We arrived at this hotel for a wedding, on arrival I found it unusual to be asked for payment upfront? We were staying in the grounds, in a block of about 20 rooms (approx) The door to the lodge was entered by security fob. It soon became clear that the door closure was worn out, as the door slammed shut every time someone came and went, including drunk golfers at 2 - 3 am in the morning???? My room was the first one inside the door the door frame was connected to the wall of my room so the slamming door was annoying!!!! Three times I reported this problem to the receptionist (when I could find one) who promised to sort it, this never happened. The shower in my room was leaking into the bath for the duration of my stay (2 nights) I reported this also but again nothing happened. A family member had an executive room paying over £100 a night more than my room, when they arrived some of the wallpaper in the room had fallen onto the floor, damp was obviously an issue? Whilst on arrival the hotel seemed rather nice it soon become clear that all was not as it seemed (hence payment taken upfront). The staff were all young and lacked guidance or training the guy at breakfast was just damn right rude, if I hadn't been at a wedding I would have left and found somewhere else immediately. This hotel requires a good maintenance man, a full time receptionist as well as a manager. The other noticeable point was the reception, which was in a small office. The reception door spent more time locked than it did open. Even on the morning of leaving, the reception was locked, when I went to leave and discuss my complaint with someone, six sets of room keys were just left lying on the floor outside. When we tried to book our rooms the phone was never answered, the same with emails, now we know why, lack of staff. Nevertheless the experience of the Dower House Hotel, Woodhall Spa is over and I won't be returning.

A warm welcome on entry, great friendly service and delicious home cooked food at a great price. Good beer too. A really nice, cosy and dog friendly pub.

What an amazing Christmas party night. The food was out of this world. The service was excellent. A very warm welcome. Really made the Christmas party special. Thank you.

An overdue visit on our part as we love this hotel and its history. Afternoon tea was lovely and the staff extremely welcoming.

Ordered a shandy. They didn't have any lemonade! No pies, no lasagne. So opted for two fish finger butties. Sorry but we have to be honest,they hardly filled the bread. Fish was gray and rubbery. Not worth half the price. We went into this pub because it's dog freindy which is great, but won't be eating here again.

We called in for breakfast recently. The service was really quick, the food was of a great standard and piping hot (the last place I ate a cooked brekky was Caesars Palace Las Vegas and was not a patch on this one). Great coffee too. As we thumbed through the Menu and looked at the boards to see what offers were on, we were astouinded at the value for money. Scampi, chips and peas for a fiver ? Unbelieveable. I will definitely return next time I'm in Woodall Spa. alternatively, I might move there, eat at Little Dorrits twice a day and not bother doing any shopping ! NOTE; car park opposite is FREE for two hours, how can you go wrong ?
