The Best Restaurants in Bardney, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Found this place by chance. Only open at present Friday, Saturday & Sunday, so check if making a special journey. Great atmosphere, and food is good pub grub and really good. Felt very comfortable, went back a couple of times. The first time to eat the next time just for a pint.

What a lovely traditional pub. Lovely pub garden. We had drinks and food. Was excellent and a really friendly place

We stayed at the "Sebastopol Retreat" next door (airbnb), a delightful clean and cosy little "retreat" to escape for a few days and very central to explore Lincolnshire by car. The pub itself is a bit of a success story, having reopened as a traditional village inn and encouraging its return as the "local" for the area. We read elsewhere that if you want to eat, it is advisable to pre-book so we made sure we had a reservation for the traditional English Sunday Roast. I can say it was very delicious, as one would expect in a part of Britain renowned for farming. We loved the pub, the village and the City of Lincoln with its medieval buildings.

Local pub but very welcoming to new visitors. Amazing food. Function room available

Lovely bungalow, spacious rooms, and super hot tub

Absolutely fabulous place, photos don't do it justice. Super comfortable, really well equipped and the hot tub is a real bonus. Highly recommend

Amazing holiday home. Mandy was so helpful when we arrived and helped our son who is Autistic, make sure he could have his PS4 on the bedroom TV. The bungerlow has the comforts of home, the welcome package to start our holiday had everything you needed. The hot tub is amazing and Bailey's Retreat is spotless. Mandy is friendly and checks on the hot tub daily without disturbing you and gets it ready to use. There is nothing missed at all and we couldn't of asked for a better holiday stay. There is a local shop a cafe , a couple of pubs and Sunny's fish and chip shop, which was amazing. Licoln is a short drive where we had many lovely evening meals, ranging from pub's, nando's, Wagamama's, TGI and many more also the beautiful cathedral it was an amazing stay and one that I would book again. Thank you Mandy and Paul for an amazing stay ❤️

Beautiful bungalow in a lovely location. Very well equipped and spotlessly clean. The hot tub is checked every morning by the owner who is very friendly and lives next door

Hi, we just checked out from this wonderful bnb. Super friendly owner. Super amazing. Super tidy. Super Clean. Super pretty. Fresh fluffy towels ( We got big ones and medium ones. It's not medium and small size). Touch bedside lamp. Walk in small closet. Big parking space. Even they arranged the complimentary tea and coffee in the room nicely!!. We got room no. 2B downstairs. We arrived a bit late. The owner was still waiting for us. As we arrived, she asked us what we wanted for breakfast. Breakfast served 07.00 to 08.30am. Hot fresh yummy breakfast. Served by the beautiful lady owner. Not very close from the town centre. But this is what we wanted. After a day wandering the city centre, we wanted a nice quiet night to sleep. They have a convenience store, co op, many local pubs nearby. No complaints at all. We were happy. There are only 2 suggestions, perhaps. 1. Need door hangers behind the bathroom's door to hang the towels. 2. A small fan for summer. Definitely will come again. Highly recommended. Thank you so much!!!

9 of us came for Sunday lunch just before Christmas. My parents are local and have eaten there previously, so we had high hopes. The dining room was busy but the service was excellent, the food was hot and so tasty with loads of well-cooked vegetables. 6 of us had the Sunday roast, 2 had pie, 1 had lasagne, all were delicious. And incredible value. They cater for gluten free diets without any drama. We traveled up from South Warwickshire and will definitely make the trip again.

Well just been to the Lincolnshire Poacher Inn for a meal with friends. WHAT CAN I SAY BUT ABSOLUTELY AMAZING FOOD. I THINK IT HAS TO BE RATED AS THE BEST FOOD I HAVE HAD IN LINCOLN. IF YOU HAVENT BEEN YOU ARE MISSING OUT. ALL PROPER HOMEMADE FOODS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY. AMAZING STAFF AND FRIENDLY. DEFINITELY MY GO TO PUB/RESTAURANT NOW.

Went to the Poacher for Sunday lunch after reading the good reviews, and we were not disappointed. Excellent food, generous portions, piping hot, lovely friendly staff and very reasonable prices. 5 stars all round.

Simple the best in Lincoln. Makes the scamper up and down steep hill worth every step. Great service, warm abs attentive staff in a beautiful setting. Having been here multiple times and heard the sameoif others, we would definitely recommend the Jews House!

Stayed to celebrate in Lincoln just for one night, so we wanted something special. We had high expectations, and that place still overdelivered. The portions are very interesting, but also substantial. You won't leave hungry, I promise. Sorbet was the name of the game. Horseradish sorbet, coriander sorbet, melon sorbet. Absolutely amazing. The service was very friendly, but extremely precise. Overall, immensely enjoyed the visit. Probably the best dinner we've had in the UK this year.

Small, intimate, high-end restaurant set in a wonderfully characterful old property halfway up the hill in Lincoln. Offers a la carte dining and a 5-course tasting menu with wine pairings. Exceptionally friendly staff. We tried the tasting menu and while two dishes were excellent, there were several noticeable blips in quality (including a pancake that was clearly burnt to look at let alone taste), and overall the menu wasn't particularly imaginative. If you have the luxury of being able to go further afield, there are better experiences to be had for this price. If you're limited to Lincoln, though, I think there's nothing else that competes.

Amazing venue.. just spent New Year's Eve,on a Gangster and Molls murder mystery night. Everyone looked fabulous in their costumes,and the actors were amazing.... didn't solve the crime, but great fun . The staff,and the food at the buffet was plentiful and delicious,as was the breakfast. Would highly the Petwood Hotel,and it's stunning location.

A gem of a hotel, steeped in history with its connection to The Dambusters and the RAF Bomber Command. The hotel and grounds are like a mini museum. The hotel itself has a friendly atmosphere the staff being polite and helpful. The rooms are a decent size and have en-suite facilities. Tea and Coffee in the room was provided. The restaurant facilities are excellent a three course meal was fantastic value and very tasty. The breakfast offered was both cooked English and Continental

A lovely open space at bar entrance, where we sat to dine (table reserved). Pub was clean, decorated, nicely furnished, accepting behaved dogs too! Sunday roast meals were quaint, stacked with Yorkshire pudding, however the pork had no crackling & the potatoes weren't well roasted. Otherwise a nice place, would like to return again midweek to try again!

In many cases, a 5 star review has almost lost its value because people will give one just for someone simply doing their job. However, this is a 5 star review that is VERY well deserved. I can't rate The Adam and Eve high enough! The food was top quality, there's a good selection of drinks, the staff are friendly and very accommodating. The room we stayed in was very cozy and immaculately clean, the bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was big and had a nice deep bath. The water was hot and we had no issues with water pressure. It had all the facilities you'd expect, tea and coffee, TV, WiFi etc ... Breakfast was delicious. Overall we had a wonderful little getaway and it didn't break the bank. This is the only place I've stayed at where I felt guilty about not having to paying more. We will definitely be coming back.

We had a lovely meal here, great setting, very relaxed! The menu is smaller than previous visits but everything was done extremely well. Our starters were ordered wrong but what we did have was excellent! Squid & Hummus to start both very tasty. I had the Eve burger and I was pleasantly surprised at how well executed it was! My husband had the Katsu curry and was impressed also! No desserts for us but we did have coffee which was good, the wine selection is good and the alcohol free beer selection is also really great given its location. We will certainly visit again! The service was good and it was great to see that a new person who was learning the ropes was being well supported!

I stayed here overnight with my girlfriend recently, and we were surprised to find we had been upgraded to the suite room! This is quite possibly the best place I have stayed, and I hope to do so again. I can't think of a single way they could improve, and I strongly recommend anyone visiting the area stay here! Not only was the suite fantastic, but the food was absolutely delicious too! I had a pear and ginger creme brulee, and my vegan girlfriend was pleasantly surprised to find there were many more options available to her than she expected! The friendly owners clearly go beyond when catering to their guests, and should be proud of the service they provide!

Had a Festive Sunday lunch on the 15th December it was absolutely fabulous. Everything was cooked to perfection and the ambience was fabulous. The staff and hosts were amazing so much attention to detail will definitely be back. Thank you and a Merry Christmas to you all.

We came here for food and was shown the rooms while we was here and they are stunning well worth their money ,so it will be on our places to stay list in the future. The owners are so lovely and friendly and the food is all homemade and was gorgeous ,really enjoyed it ,please don’t hesitate to eat here.or stay with the looks of the place ,well kept and clean ,thanks for being such lovely hosts ,Thankyou from us Yorkshire folk 🩷

I stayed overnight for the first time through and due to my work. I will definitely be going back with my family as well as work nights away. The owner and staff very accomidating (the room was so nice I wanted to eat in it. Absolutely no issues and the staff even brought it to my door). Comfortable seats and bed, a variaty of drinks and great coffee. I could go on but in my opinion brilliant 👏

We had hunters chicken and pies all were delicious. Parking was good. Very cold in the restaurant. A couple of hiccups with booking time and not being able to pay by card which held us up getting food.

We are on holiday and went for a meal. The food was great and the lady that served us was lovely. We had a lovely evening

Excellent service lovely staff, lovely pub. Food was good, dog friendly as well 😃

We had a very tasty Sunday Lunch, in a lovely atmosphere and were served by a lovely waitress. Highly recommended

Popped in on the fly for an impromptu Sunday lunch and we were not disappointed! Large pub, good atmosphere and friendly staff with a well stocked bar. 4 choices of delicious quality meat and plenty of it, excellent value plus a choice of how many courses you'd want including a kids option. You know it's a good Sunday roast if the veggies come on a separate plate! Super tasty, we'll definitely be back again. Highly recommended.

This is a little gem 😁 Sitting here having an excellent lunch, served by very curious staff. Well stocked bar with a selection of cask ales. Competitive prices 😉 Will most certainly be back 👍🥳

Fantastic lunch the food was amazing. Very clean and lovely decorated pub. Friendly helpful staff

Delightful place to visit in Woodhall Spa just a short walk from the main drag. We ate about 11.15am deciding on the full English breakfast at £11. Tea was extra at £2.50 so on the more expensive end on offer. Food was really good quality, staff very efficient and friendly. It started getting really busy towards midday where all outdoor tables were full. Well worth a visit if you are intending on exploring the town or just passing through as there is ample parking on street nearby.

We had a panini lunch and a slice of cake with coffee. Friendly staff, great service dogs allowed gets busy so best to book in advance if you don't want to be disappointed and prefer to sit indoors.

What can I say about this stunning Tea house in Woodhall Spa. Fantastic location, beautiful building, decorated to classic standards. Menu is brilliant, Staff friendly polite and super efficient. Food amazing. Be sure to book if you want lunch

Outstanding service throughout! The food was fabulous and well presented. I could not fault anything. We had chicken on a skewer, which was amazing. You must give it a try. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone who wants a great tasty meal with excellent staff service at a moderate price.
