A week before visiting the green man, I had a…read moremeal at the Ropsley Fox, where I found Great atmosphere, great people, great owners BUT not so great food. On the way home I saw the Green man, and decided to visit the next week. I'm so glad I did! It has everything that the Ropsley fox has, and more, but most noticeably the food. On arrival, I was greeted by some wonderful locals, which give the pub a great atmosphere in its own and pub it's self has a great traditional feel to it. I didn't expect a small friendly pub such as this to serve great food, but on trying, WOW, it's so much better that the Ropsley fox! I had a Chicken meal, which was presented well, tasted delightful, and was surprisingly inexpensive. Brilliant pub/ restaurant for everyone! There is only one point that lets the pub down a tiny bit, is the bar, it's very small, and because of this fact it seems that only one staff member can man the post, meaning long waiting at the bar waiting to be served. Other than this, it's perfect!

Never been disappointed with me meals over the years! If I'm…read morein the UK and Grantham visiting family then we tend to have a Sunday meal there. Busy early so you have to get in via reservation or it's slim pickings later. A bit dated but the added glass seating area, the outdoor seating and the spacious car park are a welcome sight.

I came here pre covid and it wasn't the best at all. We ordered burgers with onion rings and they…read moredidn't give us any.

Somewhere with friendly locals, an unpretentious vibe, plenty of character, reasonable prices and no lager louts trying to pick fights. Also somewhere that had atmosphere but wasn't so busy that you had to wait an hour to get served or were packed in like sardines. We don't ask for much, do we! The minute we walked through the door, we realised we'd come to the right place! Everything about this small pub we liked - the quirky characters, the fab decor, the Kiwi and Aussie influence, the secret doors (don't want to spoil any surprises here though!), the crazy photographs We will definitely be returning!

It has a comfortable atmosphere, friendly and personable staff especially the father/daughter team whom we met on our oct 28th visit. Reservations recommended for the excellent food and wine.

Happy Hour! The nice thing about the Blue Pig is that it is off on a side street so not very many…read morepeople besides the locals know about it! I'm sure that the locals probably don't appreciate me and my American (and a few British) friends crashing their pub, but I like the atmosphere, the reasonably priced drinks, and the jukebox. It has character and probably isn't very politically correct... but that's what I like it. I'm not sure if they have found a cook yet, but they used to do some fantastic chips, although the burgers weren't quite as good. The bar staff have always been really friendly and pleasant. If I venture into town for a drink, this is where you'll find me.

I tell you something, if you look hard enough in Grantham town, you'll find some real gems. I say…read morethis because the blue pig is hidden out the way, but is it a real gem? First off I say that I went for dinner but all I'm going to say is it was lovely, the reason being, is upon a quick chat with the manager he said he was stopping meals within the next week or two. So for me to recommend you to go here for the food, would be pointless. Shame though because the food was very nice. The pub is delightfully traditional, not for the modern businessman, and maybe a miss for families but for an average Joe looking for a chat and a drink it's perfect. The bar staff are friendly, and you can even have a chat with the wonderful manager there. The pricing for drinks is average, which you would expect from a small pub in this day and age. It's not a perfect place though, outside needs a lot of work. The beer garden is hidden away, and is surrounded by brick walls and an old shed. There is also area for smokers, which badly put together. But it's all forgivable when you step back into the pub. Rating - Food : 4/5 Atmosphere : 3.9/5 Service : 4.5/5 Pricing : 2.5/5 Overall : 3.8/5 Recommend For: - Traditional Pub Goer/ Someone looking for a local/ Someone looking for escape

So stopped back in with the intention of participating in a pub quiz... Earlier in the day we had…read moretried to call the pub to find out if the pub quiz was on and what time, however the number on the website (and consequently on here) was not working. I was pretty sure the last time we did it, it started at 8 p.m., so we decided to chance it anyway. When we got there, besides the bartender there was absolutely no one there. Apparently there was no pub quiz, but there isn't any notice that there was no pub quiz. Since we were already out, we decided to have a drink. The lager tasted fine, but it smelled funny, wasn't sure if it was the glass or the drink. We went to sit at a table by the window, but none of the tables were cleaned... still had what looked like lettuce and mayo on it. And the amount of gnats was ridiculous and we had to cover our drinks to prevent them from going for a swim in them. Eventually more people started showing up and the music was good... but this experience made me a little disappointed.

We sat toward the back and there seemed to be many students catching a meal there. Went to the bar and ordered and the bartender was very friendly and helpful. Got a pint of local beer and it was wonderful. I had a steak and kidney pie. Really good and the gravy excellent. The fries and peas were also delicious. Why can't we get good fresh peas like these in the US? My dining companion had a quinoa and veggie salad and it was also excellent. Large portions and good quality. Getting upstairs to the Men's toilet was a bit of a trek and kind of strange, but in a Victorian style building what would one expect. It is very contemporary once you find your way and get there. This place is worth a stop.

So, checking online, get off the main road and find a Wetherspoons. They can't be beaten for quality and price. We found this great pub and stopped off. A normal size breakfast, juice and unlimited coffee. Great service, Comfy surroundings although, this time, with unusual accents around us. I mean, unusual to us. And a history lesson on the walls about Isaac Newton. Wonderful drive break. Obviously, I am a Wetherspoons fan.
