Pub • Fish • Meat • Steak

"The menu at this restaurant is quite adventurous with dishes like skordalia mash and chocolate soil. While everything looked appealing, I ended up choosing the pea and ham pie which had more pastry than filling and was a bit too salty with too many flavors going on. I would have preferred a simpler dish. My friend had the small fish and chips which looked great and everyone enjoyed their meals, especially the desserts. It was nice to see a local beer, NVB's Release the Chimp, on tap. The service was good and I would consider returning, but I would choose my meal more carefully next time."

"A busy busy pub in Baston. Hadnt been for years. When we arrived having booked prior we were met by the landlord. No welcome, no smile a very surly 'yes '. I explained we had a booking he went behind the counter sent a waitress who smiled (hurray) and asked how she could help. So a repeat! The landlord then showed us to a benched table a bit crowded sadly next to another. Our drinks arrived perfect! Food ordered but a limited Sun lunch set of mains. Roast beef, a salad and Pollock. Main beef included greens, roast pots, carrots, parsnip, Yorkshire. Other veg were payable extra. Pollock had greens and crushed new pots. I asked if I could have xtra veg instead of new pots and the landlord hesitated saying ' well extra greens then. ' I said some carrots maybe. His reply frankly astounded me. 'The carrots are counted to go with the beef. I will ask chef. ' Later he returned to say 'Ive managed to get you carrots but they are roasted '. No problem for me. We had a starter very very tasty food but small portions at £7 to £9. Main beef at £17 my husband said the beef was tender pink and delicious. But Yorks and pots quite dry as had been kept warm. Understandably to a degree. My pollocck was cooked perfectly, flaky and soft, carrots some burning, greens in a bowl not nearly hot enough. We didnt have dessert as we noticed how tiny the portions were. The pub was heaving a tenth anniversary, disco outside etc. Every table bar one taken. The only time the landlord smiled was when we paid our bill. The service from the staff was perfect, attentive and caring. Will we go again? Sadly no. The front of house needs much attention to being welcoming, flexible and showing customer care. We understand costs are raging, attention must be given to costings but not at the expense of a welcome and some flexibility."

The Whistle Stop Inn

"On Sunday, November 26th, we had made a reservation at Cosy Club in the town center of Stamford. However, after spending over an hour struggling to navigate through congested roads and the limited parking options in Stamford, we had no choice but to give up. I called The Whistle Stop expecting them to be fully booked, but they were able to accommodate our group of 4 adults and 3 children. They greeted us warmly and provided attentive service throughout our meal. We all enjoyed delicious and affordable hot dishes, making our overall experience a positive one, especially after the stress of parking in Stamford. For vegetarians, there were options available on the menu, and the same goes for those with dietary restrictions. As for families with children, we found the restaurant to be kid-friendly as kids could enjoy a complimentary roast dinner on Sundays when an adult purchases an adult roast dinner."

Waterside Garden Centre

"Was very disappointed to see that Waterside has adopted a cashless policy. When only purchasing items of low value, we like many people, prefer to pay cash. And what happens when the internet goes down and the machines don't work? Do they just close completely and send everyone away? Also, not very well laid out for disabled people or those having to use walking aids. Had to move items out of the way so my elderly mum could get around with her walker. Toilets were a considerable way from the entrance and given the location of the garden centre, I imagine this is often the first thing visitors need on arrival as the majority would arrive by car. Prices generally were not competitive with our local garden centres and we left after only 45 minutes because we considered the garden centre to be overpriced and my elderly Mum was getting fed up with having to walk a long distance around the outside and inside areas because they insist that the most accessible door, which saves a considerable walk, must only be used by staff! Not much thought given to disabled guests at all."

"We checked the website first and Sunday lunch menu (which admittedly says it’s a sample and may change) it mentions nut roast, when I called to book the day before I did ask if there was a nut roast and was told yes. The vegetarian option today though was two veggie sausages which was a bit of a disappointment. The food was quite nice though, reasonably choice of tasty veg and we did enjoy the meal. It would have been better if they could think of an option better than a couple of veggie sausages though. I’m not so sure £15 is reasonable for the veggie option today. Staff were polite, it wasn’t busy but still didn’t get asked if the food was ok soon after we started eating (to me that’s bone basic customer service). I can’t put my finger on exactly why, but the place didn’t really have much atmosphere, it was OK but I’m not sure we’ll go back."
