Best kept secret in the area. This 16th century pub/restaurant is run by a lovely couple (Dave and…read moreJackie) who make you feel welcome every visit. My wife and I have been coming here for nearly three years now and the food is still the best around. Sometimes you may have to wait due to everything being cooked fresh to order but it is well worth the wait. Look out for the specials board which has some of the unusual dishes not normally seen in other restaurants.

Excellent food, especially the Sunday carvery and good value for money. We know lots of people who…read morehave eaten there recently and everyone thought the food was wonderful. Good location overlooking the canal.

Thank the lord the endless ranks of previous licencees are gone; I popped in the other day and it…read moreappears that we are on the turn for the better. The land lady (from previous success as a trouble shooter) has come from good background to make the pub a better place and serve competative food. So what do you need to do? You cannot have your cake and eat it, there are far more foodies in Saxilby, with no place to go than you know, and this is your opportunity. Get rid of the pool table and gambling machines, put the giant TV on for day time viewers (And NOT sport) then you will get the people who will pay for a better local place to eat. So, the next thing is to avoid anything that comes out of your kitchen fans that smells like cheap burnt oil and place a good competative plate of food on the table for local support..Saxilby NEEDS to get rid of drunken teenagers and you are on the right road for success; keep it up.

Fantastic food. Highly recommended…read more Great service, outstanding food, lovely place! A must visit!

having eaten at both inn on the green and the black horse with my family recently if were talking…read moreabout comparisions there isnt one lets start with the service the inn on the green provides professional service and standards that we have not experienced in a long time at a village pub very impressed. as for the black horse half the staff were outside smoking when we arrived and the language was disgusting even if we didint have our children with us and thats why we was probably waiting ages for any service, we could have come between there smoke breaks if was told when that was. lets talk about food the inns web site is totally correct fresh food and some grown on the premises as i saw for myself it was very well cooked and just as well presented again down to the service again very impressed. the black horse how ever not alot fresh im afraid and would of been nice for all our family to eat together instead of in stages and it was not busy at all so no excuse there. down sides for both places.....The inn on the green, cud nt find one on our visit great value for money and all the awards they have won totally earned including a great review in the journal for february recently. the black horse, bad news quite alot overpriced including drinks, service very poor, language outside and inside very offensive and no need at all and obviously allowed by the management, very dissapointed. Will say they have a very nice outside patio area. good for kidz. as for the last review i dont no how many places they eat at in a day because they ate at the inn on the green on there web reviews and also ate at the black horse on there site to same day interesting. m.banks

Nice gastro-pub in a village regarded by many as the prettiest village in Lincolnshire…read more The pub actually faces its village, and the church, away from the main road. On the main road, is a large car park, which opens onto the pub's beer garden and the rear entrance. The pub itself dates to the 17th Century and is grade II listed. The facade is pretty as a postcard, with creeper growing over the stone walls. Inside, a fairly thorough makeover gives it a more modern feel, with white and pastels complementing the wooden furniture. They have an a la Carte and fixed price menu. The offering varies from sandwiches and light bites to full meals. I had the garlic mushrooms with grated Parmesan on brioche toast (£7.95), friends had the Locally Sourced Ham, Free Range Fried Eggs & Chips (£10.95); and Beer Battered Haddock with Chips, Peas & Tartar Sauce (£13.95). Although it's a bit pricey, everyone enjoyed the meal and the quality of the food was very good. Service was reasonably quick and efficient. They serve a good range of real ales, too. Recommended.

I was so pleasantly surprised by our meal here!…read more We booked a table last minute for 5 people and they were very accommodating. I had the tempura prawns to start - a little pricey for what you get, but they were perfectly crispy and yummy. For main I had the salmon en croute - it was packed full of salmon and absolutely delicious! The restaurant is very cute & cosy and I would definitely be happy to return.

Friendly staff, good atmosphere but sadly the food we ordered was not good …read more Chicken was so so dry,I really think it had been sat around for a couple of days. Ordered jacketed chips and got ordinary luke warm chips. Salad was a tiny amount of rocket with a few tiny pieces of tomato and onion. (Hoping I don't get ill) We did tell the staff as they asked, but was not taken any further. Sadly we will not be returning and we only live around the corner. (Was hoping to be a regular.)

This is a fantastic local pub to the villagers of Waddington and surrounding villagers…read more It is a friendly pub, with good staff members, they do food menus and the landlord is a local member of the community as well. I had my wedding reception there many years ago and it was great, the food was lovely and it was a nice friendly atmosphere around the place.
