"I recently booked a table at this restaurant for a party of 20 people on a Friday evening. When I phoned to book I spoke to Melissa who was extremely helpful in arranging everything we required. She gave us a back room and was able to seat all 20 of us on a U shaped table which was perfect. On arrival we were looked after by Nicola her team in the most friendly and efficient manner imaginable. They were able to serve all of us almost simultaneously and everybody got exactly what they ordered. It was piping hot, extremely tasty and well presented and with generous portions. The ambiance of the restaurant was lovely, as was the food and the service. Prices were also very reasonable, particularly given the quality of the food. We all agreed without exception that we would happily go there again, as there were many tempting options on the menu to choose from. Thank you Shakesby’s and your wonderful team for a perfect evening."

"I've been in Horncastle on business twice once on a Monday, once on a Tuesday and both times found the town mostly closed for business in the evenings. This time, just as I was on the point of deciding people in Lincolnshire must have a tradition of fasting on a Tuesday evening, I came across The Bull. This attractive old coaching hotel looked inviting, and the staff offered me a friendly welcome. The warmly lit, high ceilinged interior of this Georgian inn was full of diners (Yes on a Tuesday! Take note, other restauranteurs of Horncastle) and the ambiance was convivial. The selection of beers behind the bar was good and the two pints I drank were tasty and well kept. I was presented with two bar menus, a separate burger menu and shown a fish menu and a steak menu on the wall. (I understand tapas is also available at weekends). Quite a choice! The bar menus largely consisted of what you might call traditional pub grub of the best kind. Within that massive choice, there must have been at least half a dozen dishes I was really tempted by but, eventually, I plumped for the cauliflower soup followed by the pork belly, mash, peas and apple gravy. Both courses were outstanding and extremely generous in size, especially the pork belly. My only disappointment was that I hadn't room in my distended belly to squeeze in a spotted dick for pudding! My bill, for such a large and excellent meal, was very modest. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner at The Bull and would definitely eat and/or drink there again."

"First time I've ever been to the King's treasure Chinese and it'll definitely be the last! Very very small portions. Chow mein tasted burnt! Salt and pepper chicken tasted nothing like it! This chips.. Not sure what's going on with the chips but the man behind the counter worned me that the chips come out dark brown, the truth is he's frying raw potato quickly and it's burning on the outside and is barely cooked on the inside! The crispy won tons we're just deep fried filo pastry, ZERO FILLING!! WE SPENT £30 ON THIS CHINESE AND IT WAS BARE ENOUGH FOR 2 PEOPLE! IF YOU WANT A GOOD CHINESE IN HORNCASTLE, VISIT THE PEKING CHEF BY FAR THE BEST CHINESE. DO. NOT ORDER YOU'LL DEFINITELY BE DISAPPOINTED!"

"Every time we visit Horncastle, we always end up at this restaurant. However, the quality of the food and service has become so inconsistent that it's time to try out other dining options. During our most recent visit, we arrived half an hour before closing time and ordered poached eggs on toast. It was not a good sign when the waitress audibly sighed upon taking our order. The eggs were served in a lackluster manner, floating in a pool of vinegar water with runny yolks, accompanied by soggy, cheap Sunblest white bread on the side. The rushed service continued as the waitress, noticing my wife browsing the gifts upstairs, inquired about her whereabouts before checking the time on her watch. While the chef has always been reserved, the food and service used to make up for it. Unfortunately, it now only qualifies as 'good in parts'."
