The best restaurants serving British food in West Lindsey East Midlands

Disappointing! We used to eat at Uncle Henry's regularly and the food was always lovely, well presented and great quality. The salads used to be lovely with a delicious dressing and oils and dressings available on the table. The bread was always excellent quality. Today the food was ordinary at best. Poorly presented, badly chopped salad with no dressing, and cheap and nasty bread.

We were excited to enjoy our Boxing Day dinner, but unfortunately, the experience fell far below expectations. Upon arrival, we were seated in a room that was freezing cold. Despite raising the issue, the only solution offered was to “close the door—it might make it better.” The room had just one small radiator that was insufficient for the space, and although there was a fire in the room, it was not lit to help improve the temperature. Adding to the discomfort, the room reeked of cigarette smoke. The atmosphere was non-existent. The room was eerily quiet, with no music or background noise, making it feel more like a waiting room than a festive dinner setting. When we requested to be moved to another table, we were told it would be “too much of a squeeze.” To make matters worse, we were informed that if we insisted on moving, they would need us to leave within an hour—an unreasonable suggestion that only added to our frustration. The service didn’t help the situation. As soon as we sat down, we were immediately asked to order drinks before we’d even had time to settle in, despite not being late. After finishing our starters, new cutlery was brought to the table, but instead of being set for each guest, it was simply dropped at the end of the table for us to sort out ourselves. This lack of attention to detail was disappointing. Throughout the meal, the staff rarely checked on us. Aside from a quick glance to see if we’d finished eating, there was little effort to ensure we were comfortable or satisfied. Overall, the experience lacked warmth, atmosphere, and service—both literally and figuratively. For such a special occasion, we had hoped for better service, attention to detail, and a welcoming environment. Unfortunately, it left much to be desired and was a real letdown

Absolutely lovely evening with friends. The staff couldn't have done anymore to make things comfortable for us. We were given a private room at no extra cost, which was away from a very noisy party. The staff were lovely and very attentive. Special shout out to Stuart, who had the biggest smile all night and really looked after us. The food was lovely and plenty of it. Would highly recommend. We will be back.

Met with friends at the start of December for a spot of Christmas shopping and browsing the fabulous antiques at the vast Hemswell Antique Centre. We all wanted a hot lunch to power us through the rest of the day and we all picked something off the menu. I had the Special of the Day - Scampi and Chips which was served quickly and it was delicious - a generous portion of scampi served with a hunk of fresh lemon, crisp chips and a tangy tartare sauce and served with garden peas cooked to perfection - LOVELY. I have never had a bad meal here and the staff are very, very helpful and they keep the place clean and neat. The cafe gets very busy so be aware you can queue for a table if you get your timings wrong or the centres are madly busy ( which can often be the case).

Went for evening meal, fish batter was burnt, probably the worst meal I have had, was only offered replacement for one fish out of 3 all were equally as bad, when we complained again at the end was offered a 15% discount but this wasn’t adequate as was almost inedible, told the bar manager we didn’t want to pay for the fish and wouldn’t return she said she would be happy for us not to return. Very rude and sharp, not the customer service you’d expect at such an establishment. Photos attached.

A welcoming country pub, which was well heated. A cosy atmosphere with a mature customer base. Great choice of food. Most of it home cooked massive portions.

Understocked farm shop with a cafe .Nice premises but warmed up food .pie was warmed up in the microwave so soggy pastry ..Shame this place used to be buzzing but items not even priced and when you ask they are expensive .Big menu but 4 items had run out .Shame.

We visited this pub just to try it out as friends had recommended it to us. Even though the pub was not busy it had a nice homely feel to it. The lady serving was very polite and efficient and promptly took our order. I had the gammon steak which was outstanding, no thick layer of fat around the outside just tender meat, my partner had the steak and Guinness pie with vegetables and chips, which was equally as good. For pudding we shared an apple crumble and ice cream. We both enjoyed the food and will be visiting again!

Clean cafe with lovely breakfast full English and nice staff. Asked for gluten free options and they provided it. Would definitely come again.

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.

Tuvimos una experiencia absolutamente maravillosa en el Riverside Inn! Llamamos el mismo día para reservar una mesa para cuatro, y cuando necesitábamos añadir dos más en el último minuto, nos acomodaron con facilidad. El entorno es precioso, y aunque habían preparado un lugar acogedor para nosotros en el interior, también ofrecieron la opción de sentarse fuera, que fue un buen toque. El servicio fue increíblemente rápido y servicial, atendiendo a todas nuestras solicitudes sin problemas. Nuestras bebidas fueron servidas rápidamente, y los precios eran muy razonables. La comida era excepcional, de alta calidad y con una amplia gama de opciones para todos los gustos. Las porciones eran muy generosas, e incluso proporcionaron bolsas para perros para nuestras sobras, que nuestros perros en casa apreciaron mucho! Una mención especial a Rhiannon y Jay, los hijos de los gerentes, que proporcionaron un servicio tan amable y atento. Las vistas desde la posada son preciosas, creando un ambiente relajante que complementa la excelente comida y servicio. La única nota menor es que los baños son un poco de un paseo, pero están en el mismo piso, por lo que no es demasiado inconveniente. Además, hay aparcamiento disponible justo fuera, que siempre es una ventaja. En general, el Riverside Inn ofrece un ambiente acogedor y agradable, un entorno limpio y ordenado y comida de alta calidad. Tuvimos una gran experiencia y ya estamos deseando nuestra próxima visita!

Not the friendliest welcome from the bloke behind the bar. Objected to the behaviour of one of the other guests in the bar who had a Labrador off lead who became very rude when his dog was worrying my Jack Russell, who was on his lead. I don’t like been sworn at, so the whole experience was terrible. Don’t have their “coke” either it’s just coloured water tasting of cleaning fluid. I’d rather go thirsty than ever visit that pub again.

poor food quality and poor hygiene on the tables and no sanitization between customers not even a table wipe.

We did a charity event at the church and we were well looked after , with food and coffee, and cheery advice The church is a valuable resource that is possibly under used, we enjoyed so much we are doing another 2 day charity event there

No sé donde TripAdvisor nos dieron la foto. escribo para informar a todo el mundo que el pub ya han desaparecido, unfornately Dennis el encargado, ha tirado la toalla. una pena que sus domingos almuerzos eran deliciosos.
