The decor is fantastic, relaxing, and quaint, but more importantly, the food is superb. Everything we tried, from the milkshakes to the desserts, were absolutely finger-licking good. The quality was simply superb. This place is worth going out of one's way to visit. If you're looking for a fantastic lunch, it's where it's at. One note, the place tends to be busy, so it can be a bit of a wait for the food or for the staff, but the food is worth the wait.

Charming little family-run Italian restaurant / café situated on the corner of the market place in…read moreBingham. All looks quite new, fresh and clean. We visited for the first time on a Saturday for lunch, when it was quiet, with only two other tablets taken out if the eight 4-seater tables they have. The placemats are the menu (laminated), so you can always see what's available, even if if does look a little cheap. The drinks seem to be limited to house wine (red, white or rose), Peroni or Moretti, cider or Nespresso coffees, but there IS a wine list available on request. The food seems pretty good! Quite authentic and all hand-made fresh in the open kitchen, visible from the restaurant. We had a rather nice "Italian job" pizza with a lovely crunchy thin crust base. My penne Bolognese was made with locally sourced beef and the sauce was very rich and tomatoey with lots of spicy tang, and the portion was huge! The ceiling is high and therefore it isn't too noisy. Nicely relaxing twinkly piano jazz was playing softly in the background too. They have been open since Dec 2013 and do take-out too. All-in-all a very nice new experience!

Situated on an A426 between Rugby and Lutterworth, the calm within is amazing and the wealth of gift ideas and quality goods for home and garden. Visit their website and read about the history of the farm and, in particular the barn itself? It's an education. An absolute must, and my main reason for visiting regularly, is the refreshment area. It really is sublime. There is a small seating area right opposite the counter which, in the colder months, has a log burning fire. There is a larger and very comfortable seating area in an upstairs lounge with mixed seating.sofas, armchairs, tables.another log burning fire which is regularly attended to. Sink into one of the cozy chairs and watch the traffic pass yet at the same time feeling, as if perhaps, you are somewhere else? An impressive array of homemade cakes etc., awaits your attention when you place your order which, even if you choose to take a seat in the upstairs lounge, will be brought to you by a member of the pleasant staff. For a light lunch you may try their delcious homemade soup with a roll? I would be happy to recommend this establishment to my female contacts as a place for the unaccompanied traveller to stop and rest a while in a spotlessly clean and safe environment. Worth a detour!!

Running parallel to the coffee shop is a number of quaint little farm shops selling nick nacks and shabby chic items. On my last visit there was also a clothing shop. Defo worth a trip to chill and enjoy the lovely country views.

This is a quiet beautiful stretch with little to disturb the peace. It is a calm oasis in an otherwise bustling world - a property development restriction is in place, thus preventing the developments which have been known to mar other seaside resorts. Consequently you will not find noisy arcades or nightclubs in Anderby Creek. Located between both Mablethorpe, and Skegness, right off a A52 just past Huttoft heading south. It was badly hit in the 1953 floods but restored. One of the joys of Anderby is its fine stretch of golden sand making it ideal for bathing and for youngsters wishing to try their hand at building sandcastles. The hinterland behind the beach comprises of a patchwork of villages and small towns which are pleasant to explore. Along the cost road there are narrow tracks leading to other beaches which are worth exploring. One called Mogs Eye is really nice. Beware swimming too far out though as currents can be strong and there is no life guard. This is a wonderful walking area with magical coastal views. There is a beachside cafe open during the season, a couple of local pubs, and caravan and chalet parks can be found nearby. The region has several nearby hotels. Home to 5 caravan sites, 1 chalet park, and have a Cafe/Store, (This sells beach stuff and general seaside things plus the cafe does beverages and cheap basic meals) another small store, (they also stock the basics like newspapers, milk, eggs, and bacon throughout the holiday season), and a Public House.think many moons ago..a lost era. What is amazing is one line of beach front houses, that look like city town houses, fine architectural qualities to each one. A huge pipeline now does spoil the beauty of the beaches and there is talk of a windfarm which is being fiercely opposed.

First stop was Matlock - cute little village, powerful river flowing though town, nice views all around. We wanted to have lunch but hadn't really seen anything and so we decided to head to Bakewell (about 20 minutes drive) when I noticed a classy, inviting, purple sign by the road "The Orangery". We quickly turned around and are so glad that we did! We had a really GREAT lunch and have already booked again for Christmas Eve when our daughter and new husband visit. It may sound odd but it used to be part of a very prestigious school for over a century - the most famous "Old Girl" was Richmal Crompton who wrote all the "William" books that I devoured as a kid. Now the whole complex is basically a old peoples home (Man are they lucky!!). So the lunchgoers were, on average, grey haired (but I am going that way too) - but it was fairly quiet in terms of lunchgoers and music (just the right volume - Christmas songs, Wham and many many more of the favorites. The restaurant drips class, the bistro also (full bar). A wide selection of offerings _ I seriously wanted the prawn curry but got lured into a Christmas special. Wonderful staff, great food, excellent service - and beautiful nooks for a quiet or romantic lunch. Try it you'll like it! Two big thumbs up Review #108 2019

Walking in it was booming and was advised we would have to wait 10 15 minutes for a table which we agreed to do so. We were seated at this end with not a lot of room but the sound of the food made up for that. They offer all your classic brunch food alas they did not have a pulled pork dish so I opted for a salmon benedict on pancakes. My friend had bacon and eggs on potato cakes and my partner chose the pantry dish aka sausage beans, bacon , mushrooms, tomatoes and pancakes oh and a egg of his choosing. To drink I settled on a boozy choc orange shake, others had a flat white and strawberry smoothie. All the drinks were perfectly made albeit I dropped cream all over myself.. but wow the food! Everything was perfectly cooked, seasoned and just full of flavours.. even the baked beans had smoked paprika a other spices to zing it up. The service was also impeccable without an expectant service charge. Overall we would eat here again. Top notch ingredients and just amazing food..

Towering over is the famous St. Mary's church, so the Hungry pumpkin is perfect for tired tourists or city wanderers. The interior itself is warm and inviting, so i quickly sat down and was pleasantly surprised at the variety on offer. I ordered a cappuccino and a salmon panini. The coffee itself was a beautiful Italian arabica, coated with chocolate powder and served with a small Italian biscuit on the side. Absolutely delicious. The panini was packed with smoked salmon and goats cheese, and was very tasty. Price wise, it was similar to most cafes. I ought to try their full breakfasts next time, they look great. Definitely recommend!
