“We visited Spokes this morning for birthday celebrations. What a lovely coffee shop this is. Clean and tidy with a relaxed atmosphere throughout. This really is the place to chat, read a book, and just shut off from the outside world. Service is excellent and friendly with food and beverages served quickly. The menu is varied with all meals prepared in their kitchen. It's all amazingly tasty but I do recommend the American dream sandwich accompanied by the dirty chai latte. I can't fault this coffee shop. It's a 10/10 for food, ambience and service. Try Gainsborough's No1 coffee shop. You'll love it.”

Lovely food (very generous portions!) The Halloumi wrap is delicious and the coffee is lovely (I had a latte)... the staff were all really friendly. I'll definitely be returning, next time with my dog! ...and won't eat as much lunch next time, so I have space for the yummy looking cakes 😋

This is a quaint little cafe the menu is limited ,but just enough to give everyone a choice. It is very clean and the food is delicious with a good size portion. The milk shakes alone are worth a trip with kids.

Food ,service and entertainment were all top notch and "mine host" was on fine form when he took charge. Best New Year I've had for some time.”

“Just come home after an amazing evening here. The food is outstanding and good value for money. The hosts are lovely and I am looking forward to seeing them again soon. This is so so much more than a hotel. We live in Gainsborough and we will be making this a regular event. Our only surprise is that it isn't packed out, but then if it was we wouldn't have enjoyed it as much. Also must mention the gardens. It is obvious that an enormous amount of time and love has been spent to give somewhere peaceful to while away the afternoon. Without a doubt the best place to eat in Gainsborough”

“Best place in all of Lincolnshire for a Bacon and egg bap (to date that is) I highly recommend that you are in the area you pop in and give it a try. There often can be a bit of a wait on food but it's worth the wait I'd say. The breakfasts are good but nothing to rant and rave over but still fills that spot for a cooked breakfast in the morning.”

“The Caldero Lounge in Gainsborough was a great find, located in Marshalls Yard shopping plaza (DN21 2NA). We'd only gone there to go to JYSK (a bit like Ikea) and we saw this funky looking restaurant / bistro. So, we did our shopping and went in for a light lunch. So glad we did. I was talking the the waiter and he said that they're part of the sister company of Cosy Club (who we love). So we were very happy with that. Despite being ravenous carnivores, we both went for veggy (or almost veggy) options. My wife had the Beetroot and Feta flatbread (which looked amazing) and I opted for the Chicken, Bacon & Avocado salad. OK, so that one wasn't very veggy, but it was super delicious and filled me up for our 5 hour drive back to Somerset. The restaurant is funky, quirky and cool. Everyone there seemed so chilled and happy. We've got family in the area, so we'll definitely be back there. So many great looking things on the menu, got to try as many as I can. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.”
