Applebarn Restaurant

We used to use this restaurant regularly in the days when it was the only choice. Things certainly have not improved since, despite there being some competition now. Disorganised and overpriced. Try the cafe in the craft centre.

The bacon, Brie panini had hardly any filling just the panini. The “salad “ was a little lettuce and some sweetcorn. No tomato or coleslaw. The scone was half the size you get at most garden centres. Very expensive for what you get and poor quality. Will eat somewhere else next time. Such a shame as it used to be very good

I had a great experience at this restaurant. The breakfast was delicious and the service was quick and friendly. The portion sizes were very generous, especially the country ham breakfast which came with a full slice of ham. My friend enjoyed her banana nut pancakes and thought the crispy bacon was cooked perfectly. Overall, a fantastic meal. Ver carta

My wife and I had the Sunday roast (chicken breast). The meal was best described as warm. The vegetables were tasty enough but the chicken was large, dry and tough/chewy. Regarding the latter, I left 50% of mine and my wife did better leaving 25%. In defence of this establishment, we have previously visited on week days having had light lunches (ciabattas, toasted sandwiches etc) and they've been most pleasing.

I had fish and chips which wasn't the nicest and the peas came in a bowl full of water. My 2 friends both had chicken wraps and salad. The salad was just leaves and nothing else and they both said the wraps were disgusting and they looked it. Very dry chicken no taste and they were supposed to be flavoured. Wraps also dry. They left it all They complained and had a full refund and as it wasn't queried or offered something different we all think this is a regular thing.

Have heard such good things about this restaurant. Firstly they seem to stop hot food at 3pm which is a bit disappointing. Not terribly clear that you have to order hot food at the till and your cake/drinks at the other counter! Ranked outside had not been Kesteven and certainly not been wiped over as we used a napkin and it was absolutely black coffee was not hot enough!! Such a shame lovely venue/setting but doesn’t really flow and is a bit stressful at the ordering etc side. Staff very friendly but needs better organisation Ver carta

Ordered chickpea and spinach curry. Substituted baked potatoe for fries. The smallest ramakin came with eight chips in a small container I ate three fork fulls of the chickpea trying to taste the curry. No curry at all and no spinach, just chopped tin tomatoe and almost raw onion. When i decided to complain i was told that and i quote, ill tell the chef but i cant give you a refund because you have eaten half of it Was i sure that it was not a mild curry. My temper was riseing So we left, my wifes quiche was rubbish. Would never return and would never recomend, we live near by.

During a recent trip to the area, we attempted to have lunch at this restaurant with our small dog. Unfortunately, there were no signs indicating that dogs were only allowed in the outdoor area, so we found a table inside. As we were looking over the menu, a staff member approached us and rudely informed us that dogs were not allowed indoors, stating, "No dogs!!! They can go outside!!" Her lack of politeness and refusal to accommodate us by offering an outdoor table was disappointing. We have dined here before and generally enjoyed the food, as well as the friendly and welcoming staff. However, this incident has deterred us from returning in the future. It is our opinion that the woman handl...

Came back from our recent visit to write this review and realised that I 'd said pretty much the exact same thing 9 months ago. Sadly it would seem that the management do not read feedback and or don 't care : See attached photo: All non meat eaters are apparently on a diet and we have to pay extra as well for the privilege. I did consider having an extra egg etc but at £1.95 each ? maybe not. Why they can 't have a vegetarian version of the full breakfast, who knows. Veggie sausages, veggie bacon, there 's even veggie 'black pudding ' available these days. But of course, none of these are available. On a plus note, the vegetarian breakfast was presented nicely and tasted good. But this is n... Ver carta
