The Countryman - East Lindsey

The restaurant has really let itself go. The sausage I had was the cheapest I've ever tasted, it seemed like it was just mush warmed in the microwave. My partner ordered the hunter's chicken and salad, but what came out resembled roadkill with peas instead of salad. I mentioned this to the young waiter, but it was like talking to a beer mat. I don't usually leave good reviews for good food that I ordered, just bad ones to prevent others from facing the same disappointment.

We came with friends on Friday the 13th because we had previously raved about how delicious the food is at this restaurant. This visit was just as wonderful, if not better, than before. Despite the terrible weather, a hot and tasty meal was exactly what we needed. The steak pie was outstanding, as were our friends' braising steak and cottage pie. Everything was served piping hot on hot plates, which made a big difference. The staff was friendly, and we even had a nice chat with the chef. It was a fantastic evening, and our friends were very impressed with everything. Thank you.

Proper Food, Cooked Properly. Lovely food, good value for money. Pub is full of character and like stepping back in time. Hope it doesn’t change and get modernised or turned into a corporate chain pub, This pub was a great find and the perfect place for some very well home-cooked food cooked as it should be

The food at this restaurant is fantastic and the staff is very friendly. Annie was our waitress this time, but we also know Ellie, Jess, and Sam. The food was amazing, always served hot and with great taste. However, Sam should refrain from using her phone on speaker while working as it is not very professional when there are customers in the restaurant. We will definitely be back as we eat here at least twice a week.

We have been coming here a few times but sadly our most recent visit will be our last, very unorganised, nobody to show us where to sit so we picked a table only to be asked to move as it was apparently reserved (Nothing on the table to indicate this) then it took over 20 minutes before our order was taken. Meanwhile people continued to come in, nobody greeting them so they just sat down and ended up being asked to move. Seemed if they knew you they couldn't do enough for you whereas if you were a visitor, they were much less interested. We found the staff quite rude and patronising and the service was slow so on the basis of that we shan't bother again.
