Top Places and Services in Deeping st james, Lincolnshire

A lovely pub, only 5 minutes drive from Market Deeping. Lovely warm fire on the go, large bar area serving great selection of beers and lagers. Good choice of wine and spirits. We went on Sunday and had a lovely roast dinner, beef and port, accompanied with veg, roasties and Yorkshire pudding. Good choice of puddings, tarts and coffee. Defo recommend, we will be back.

Excellent food, really good service
Beautiful pub inside and out, lovely beer garden so relax and eat in. It's a lovely spot for Sunday lunch but looks like they have lots on during the week like steak night - will definitely be back. Really like that you can see their vegetable garden as well. Lovely little dog station with water and blankets.

We wandered into the Red Lion after a wet and windy walk with the dog. The staff were so friendly and inviting, the atmosphere was warm and cosy - perfect for a relaxing autumnal lunch. They even had treats and blankets for our pooch!
The food was really outstanding. If you're looking for recommendations from the set lunch menu, my partner thought the salmon tagliatelle was perfectly seasoned with the exact right amount of dill to balance the whole dish, and I had the sausage and new potatoes which truly warmed my cockles - so rich and comforting. A big shout out to the bread sticks with garlic butter too - so moreish!

Everything about our visit today was perfect. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that we had a fantastic time. The food was absolutely amazing too. The Red Lion offers everything that you could hope for in a pub, even offering treats and fresh water, should you bring your dog. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Decent little pub. Visited the place for the office Christmas meal . Had the misfortune of visiting on the very day their heating was down. The staff tried to fix it by ensuring all the electric heaters were turned on. Unfortunately it was still cold. The food was freshly prepared and brought out on time. Friendly and courteous staff made the experience enjoyable.
I'm the wrong person to be judging/evaluating traditional food. But I'll give it a go.
Starter- chicken and pheasant terrine. The flavours worked well and the crispy toasted (muffins?) were good.
Mains- slow cooked beef. I'm told by my friends that it was done very well and they enjoyed it.
Dessert- kumquat Christmas pudding - absolutely delicious and a decent sized portion for those who love their desserts.
Have a look at the pictures for reference.

I plan on coming in another time to try out their normal venue. I'm sure with heating on, the ambience of the pub would be lovely. They have a few seats beside the fireplace and ona wintry day that would the best spot in the pub!
