"We arrived a few minutes before our booking time, staff very busy and told to find our table in the restaurant area. No sooner had we sat down when a young chap came up and asked if we would like to order drinks. Efficient and accommodating. We ordered our food four mains, after a while the meals arrived all seemed good, however one of the party had ordered the ‘Chefs Pie of the Day’. It arrived sitting on a bed of mash with veg and a moat of very weak runny gravy. The pie casing was very soft and soggy as if it had been microwaved! Not a crispy pastry one would’ve expected. The amount of gravy on the plate created a challenge as it splashed over and onto one of our party. Taste of the pie was disappointing as you couldn’t tell if it was Mutton as described or otherwise. Apart from this the other members meals were of a high standard and enjoyed. As this was a special birthday get together one poor meal out of four reflects the score given. If everything had been to the same high standard of three of the meals and desserts then the score may have been different."

"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."

"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."
