The Best Cafes in Lincolnshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Excellent pub inside the grounds of woodland waters, great choice of beers, very clean and tidy, friendly staff, great views over the lake with a new kids play area.

Heard about woodys so thought we would try it out and have a lovely drive to check it out. Weather great, site looks lovely, nice, clean & tidy. Inside is as lovely as the outside, staff great and friendly. Food and service spot on. Got to be a 10/10. First time there and a great first visit. 😎👌

We met friends here for the first time for lunch today. We were in the dog friendly bar which suited us. The menu was extensive, food good, service quick and staff very friendly. The restaurant and seating area outside were clean and tidy, the outlook over the lake was beautiful, with many folk fishing and walking. We will definitely go again and probably take the dogs. A good find, highly recommended 👌

Great bike Nights available and the site is very beautiful and fantastic lakeside views. Clean large tidy bar, well presented and well looked after. Food was not the best, but that may ne because it was a biker menu Staff were excellent and polite when i eventually got to them, so make sure you visit early or go on a non bike night,.staff got overran and big queue. Recommend a visit on a beautiful day or sunset evening,

Lovely little place. Absolutely beautiful food. Eggs cooked perfectly with a side of handmade hash browns. Black forest hot chocolate was amazing. Definitely check this place out.

Took my mum for a birthday lunch and she thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was spectacular and great value. The savoury side of the waffles and pancakes made a perfect lunch meal. There's a lot of variety as well in food and drink. The staff are really friendly and helpful!

Aesthetically pleasing food and immensely delicious! Lovely, friendly staff who are very helpful and wonderful to talk to both regulars and newbies. Would definitely recommend and come again! Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience! ❤️❤️

A lovely place to sit and watch the world go by. The staff are lovely, its a fantastic location and the coffee and food is generous and excellent! Well worth a visit.

A great pub with good drinks and very friendly staff with a great beer garden it also has a very good Chinese takeaway

Visited the Railway Inn Ancaster on a Friday evening whilst staying at Woodland Waters caravan park which is an easy walk away. The pub is quite unique in that it combines a traditional olde worlde British pub complete with beer garden, lounge area and bar, serving a range of craft ales, whilst in the adjacent kitchen an amazing Chinese restaurant/ takeaway produces excellent, high quality meals serving the pub and local community. I was in a party of seven and we ordered directly at the kitchen. Food soon started to arrive and just kept coming all well cooked, hot and beautifully presented. At the end of the meal only empty plates and happy people were left. This was one of those rare occasions when we were so pleased with the quality of the food and service received we thought it was necessary to ask to see and thank personally the chef who cooked our meal. This was a memorable evening and we look forward to returning to the Railway Inn.

A very nice place and felt so relaxed. Had a Chinese takeaway and it was awesome

Nice little village pub only 15-20 minutes walk from woodland waters. The locals made us feel very welcome

Such a beautiful place to enjoy food and drinks. We sat outside - the view is amazing! You overlook a lake with geese and lots of fields. It’s very peaceful and possibly the nicest view I have experienced with a full English breakfast! The staff were friendly, plenty of seating options and we didn’t wait to long for our food.

We went for the first time yesterday as the sun was shining and wanted to stop somewhere for some lunch. We both had the salmon salad which was absolutely gorgeous and we both said we will be back again. Staff were friendly and there were some very nice bits in the shop, we were impressed overall.

Visited for lunch mid week, and had an excellent steak and mushroom pie. Food quality was very good. Restaurant was clean and staff were very welcoming and professional.

After a long 4 hour drive, The hubby and I had a lovely lunch at The Old Tile Works Restaurant and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was really tasty and well presented. The service by Layla was excellent, so welcoming & polite (Thank you Layla). We also had a stroll around a few shops and the Garden centre which we found all very reasonably priced as we bought a few treats 😉 We also had a peep in the pottery shed to watch how the tiles and plant pots were being made.

Stumbled upon this place as we walked under the Humber bridge. It was a big restaurant and very busy. The food was good. The pie tasted great, and the chips are fried well. The gravy is a letdown, though. My partner's soup was decent. The adjacent shop and the garden centre were great.

Great little find nearthe Humber bridge clean and tidy with a few different shops behind it The viking way is just a short walk to get on from here

Lovely case at the foot of the Humber Bridge south side. Great food and reasonable prices.

I recently visited the Viking Way Cafe Bar in Barton and was blown away by the experience! The service was absolutely fantastic – friendly, attentive, and made me feel right at home. The highlight of the visit was the cheeseburger and chips. The burger was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful, and the cheese was melted just right. The chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, a perfect accompaniment. I will definitely be visiting Viking Way Cafe Bar again. Highly recommended!

Nice place to stop for a drink while out for a walk, it's also licenced and has a good range of options. Food sounds promising and very reasonably priced, I'll allow more time next visit to try. Order at the counter in the main building then seating is in a modern timber building, log burner was keeping it cosy on my January visit. Friendly welcome, clean and comfortable :)

Had a fantastic time here so relaxing people very friendly great peaceful relaxing place loved it and would deffo recommended

Perfect spot if you are looking for a quiet meal or have a drink to relax. We just ran across The Ball House and I am so glad we did. Truly authentic English pub meal with local beers to sample. When you walk in you feel like you step back in time. A roaring fire in the fireplace, a lovely man behind the bar, it felt like a movie. #GoogleGal

Had a lovely Christmas lunch here today as we came down from London to see my mum before Christmas. Nothing was to much trouble , the staff and owner were super lovely . It was blowing a gale outside and pouring with rain probably one of the reasons why it wasn't to busy but we had a lovely time and we will definitely visit again next time we are in Boston. Thankyou

Not the first time we've been here, but the first time we've taken the dog with us. We were all made to feel welcome...the dog was definitely spoiled! Food was lovely as always. Regular portion was ample for us, although there is the choice of a large if required. Staff are all very friendly, pleasant and helpful.

A good co op has everything I need worked there are very polite and a good place to do your shopping

Great shop. Open till 10 pm so great for last-minute purchases. Wide selection of food. Free parking.

Good shop with good selevtion of products, but due to size may not have everything.

Plenty of parking in front of the store. Staff are usually okay and helpful if you need them. They stock pretty much everything you need although some items are more expensive than the supermarkets but you do have to pay for convenience.
