"We've been here a couple of times before and it's been great, however our latest visit was not a great experience. Portions were small, presentation wasn't anything special, looked like meals I could of in nocked up myself as a quick tea at home, nothing special at all, certainly didn't look like a restaurant dining experience. Also, never come across a restaurant that stipulates on the menu if you want steak they need 48 hours notice! And even if they do, they should tell people when they book in as we had 2 of our party very disappointed on the night. The whole dining experience was also ruined by a group of loud, drunk locals sitting in the dining area and talking and swearing at the top of their voices so we couldn't even hear ourselves having a conversation. If people have paid for a dining experience no matter how bad that was, they should not have to put up with a table full of loud, swearing locals who were just there for the drink, keep the two things separate! Really dark and dingy in the restaurant, we struggled to read the menu due to how badly lit it was. The waitress started the evening by telling us what wasn't available off the menu, which in itself seemed odd at the beginning of the weekend to of already run out of so much. Needless to say this one bad experience overshadows previous good ones, it looks like the place has gone down hill, we won't be back! Must say though this is by no means a reflection of the staff they were lovely, it's on the owners!"

"This delightful restaurant is conveniently situated at the entrance of Springfield Outlet Shopping Centre and is hard to miss, especially if you intend to spend a day or a few hours shopping. The Kitchen is a privately owned, family-run establishment that operates throughout the day from 11:00 am on Sundays through Wednesdays and extends its hours for dinner service on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. They take pride in offering a variety of delectable pub classics. Their menu boasts mouthwatering, homemade beer-battered fish and chips, grilled dishes, crisp salads, sandwiches, daily specials, delectable Sunday roasts, afternoon teas, and a dedicated children's menu. I went for the Black Blue burger which was a Cajun spiced, handmade burger topped with Stilton cheese, red onion, tomato and mixed salad leaves served with chips. My friend went for the Mexican which was Handmade burger with house chilli and sour cream with red onion, tomato and mixed salad leaves. Both burgers were served fresh and arrived promptly within five minutes of ordering. They were exceptionally delicious, bursting with an array of flavors. The portion sizes were generous and satisfying. The staff demonstrated remarkable friendliness and expertise, showcasing exceptional customer service skills. We opted to dine outdoors, and the alfresco areas were meticulously maintained by attentive staff, ensuring a pristine environment throughout our meal. A new favourite for me I will be sure to return again soon."

"With restrictions eased it was a good time to visit family my Mum, older brother and sister in law and no better way to do that than a Sunday lunch but my original option appears to be closed so Tripadvisor gets a visit...with a search of eateries in and around the locality of the closed venue. Up pops this quaint riverside pub with great reviews(and a Facebook page) so due to the late hour I messaged them. The forthcoming reply was positive and a quick conversation with my bro allowed me to make a firm booking the next day. We arrived some ten minutes early and were shown to our table by an eager member of staff who quickly took a drinks order and on his return he took our order of Lamb roast and one Chicken. It wasn't long before large hot plates piled high were delivered to the table, meat aplenty, vegetables plus roast and boiled pots, a fluffy Yorkshire Pud and stuffing ball. I have always believed that food should be tasted before going anywhere near the cruet set and my judgement proved sound' as the food didn't need anything other than Mint and/or Cranberry Sauce...the Gravy was the perfect accompaniment. We followed the main course with a dessert x Lemon Cheesecake, Chocolate Fudge Cake and Rhubarb Crumble plus your choice of ice cream, cream or custard and this too arrived at the table in double quick time. The ale was also superb and if I hadn't been driving I'd have had a second but no chances taken! All in all a meal of high quality, served by amiable staff in an cosy bar setting, no rushing to clear for the next diners and with change from what's not to like? High praise also to the Landlady toiling away in the kitchen and to the kilted' Landlord, a decent chap who thanked me for not disturbing them with a call after closing. If you're going to be out Crowland way then this is the place to satisfy your hunger and almost certainly NOT only on a Sunday lunchtime having glanced the Specials' board. Thanks for hosting us, much appreciated by all."
