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.

The Collyweston Slater is a traditional coaching inn dating from the 17th century but which has…read moreundergone a major but tasteful and sympathetic renovation, leaving oak beams and slate on display. It is located by the side of main road, but the village is so quiet that this is not an issue. The food is gastropubby in a smart-yet-traditional way with both a bar menu and a la carte (2 AA Rosettes); the wine list covers all the main areas with more focus on contemporary and value areas than the old classics. The bedrooms (just 5 of them) are also tastefully furnished. Collyweston itself is a pleasing but very small village, with lots of old sandstone buildings on its few streets and views of the rolling East Midlands countryside.

Very disappointing. Ordered several meals. After sometime someone came to the table to inform us…read morethat one of the meals was not available as they'd run out. Without being given menu's we had to make an on the spot swap. The waitress took the order and left, only to return a few minutes later to say we'd owed £2.30 as the replacement meal was more expensive. Hang on, you ran out of food and made me choose something I didn't really want, and you want me to pay a few pound more after you inconvenienced me??? Meals arrived after being insulted with an additional bill. Oh dear. The lamb cutlets still had a heart beat. I wasn't asked how we wanted them cooked, but wow, they were so bloody they could have been extra's on casualty. We returned them and asked if they could cook them a little longer so they weren't bloody. This time they came back as charcoal. We ordered vegetables for the baby. Hmmm. The cauliflower was brown and the string beans were more string than bean and looked they had been reheated several times over several days. All in all terrible food. I can't say the staff were unfriendly, but they certainly weren't customer focused. My advice, avoid.

We went to this place having had the poor meal at the Crown and Anchor, we had to leave the C&A due…read moreto mould on the toast, so this place was going to be excellent whatever, when compared to that. I am pleased to say that this place did not let us down. We have eaten here twice over the last 2 years. The food is good, you get alot of it which is fine if you are of super size. I am 6ft 2" and I will normally have a starter and a main or a main and a pudding but having had the main I struggled to fit the pudding in. I think they should reduce the portion size ever so slightly so that they get their patrons to order a pudding as well on more occasions. Makes more business sense to me! My main was a ribeye steak and chips with mushrooms and tomatoes, I had strawberry pavalova for my pudding. I overheard some other customers order the pavalova as well but unfortunately for them the pub had run out. It was really good and knowing that I had the last one made it taste even better! They have a selection of bitters on tap. The staff were attentive, young, I think perhaps the sons of the owners. They seemed to give that bit of extra attention and when they asked how things were/how was the meal etc, they did want to know rather than just asking for the sake of things. There is a massive car park at the location and also a farm shop, we went in briefly to the shop but only to get out of the thunder storm /rain that was occuring at the time so I cant review that facility. Will probably use this place more often now that the C&A let us down.

Very good food. I would book because it is popular! We had a group of 9 and there was also another…read moretable room had an even larger group which on the night caused some delays, however the staff were very friendly throughout and never appeared flustered. Meals were very large and great quality. There was a struggle for some to finish the mains, no-one had desert! All meals were twice the size and half the price you would expect for the quality. Shame I don't live nearer as its somewhere I would like to go back to again.

The Ship offers food at fantastic prices and I have to say, always delicious…read more However it's not just the great food that makes The Ship great, to sit by the riverbank in the summer and have a few cheeky continental lagers whilst the weather is good is the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon, plus the girlfriend seems to like it, giving me serious brownie points when I suggest going there! My only minor negative is that it's not within walking distance of my house, so I can't make it my local!

The moto is you get what you pay for and that is no more true that the Bustard…read more The food is outstanding; where do I start, the Lincolnshire Red is amazing, the roasts are great and the rest is high quality dining at its best. The bar is quite small but I have allways been met with a friendly face, a smile and when the owner is there a lenghty chat about something. The dining room ouzes comfortable and classy again showing off the best in a dining experience allowing a party of friends and family to a romantic night out very special. A private dining area just off the bar is comfortable and allows for a larger group a little more . privacy. You get what you pay for and I have never been disappointed to pay that little bit more.
