Green Dragon
1st

Green Dragon

4.8(72 reviews)
93/100
The Green Dragon in Swineshead is a cracking little pub with brilliant food and a cosy vibe, earning high praise from most who've been, though it's not without a few niggles here and there.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food here is an absolute treat – especially those ribs, which one chap raved about as the best he's had in ages, making it well worth a visit.
  • It's got a really welcoming and friendly atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed night out with mates or just popping in for a pint.
  • The decor and ambience are spot on, with traditional historic touches and unique outdoor seating that adds a lovely charm to the place.
Areas for Improvement
  • There was a recent review that was a bit underwhelming, giving it just three stars, so it might not hit the mark every time.
  • The opening hours seem a tad confusing with multiple listings, which could leave you scratching your head about when to drop by.
  • Without a website or online presence, it's not the easiest to get more details like the menu or to check for any updates before heading out.

93/100
The Railway Pub is a cosy spot near the station that's buzzing with friendly vibes, cracking food like their Sunday carvery, and a good selection of drinks – it's a real treat for a laid-back night out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • The Sunday carvery is an absolute winner – think juicy meats, a massive selection of veg, and homemade Yorkshire puds that hit the spot every time.
  • They've got a solid range of beers and drinks, perfect for unwinding after a long day.
  • The atmosphere is spot on, especially if you're catching a gig or just enjoying a relaxed evening.
  • It's great value for money; you can get a hearty meal and a drink without breaking the bank.
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours can be a bit tricky, with the pub only open five days a week and starting late in the afternoon, which might not suit everyone.
  • There's no website to check out menus or events in advance, so you might have to pop in or call to get the full scoop.
  • The schedule seems a tad inconsistent from what I've seen, which could lead to a few surprises if you're planning a visit.

The Ship is a real gem of a pub, offering top-notch food, warm service, and a cosy atmosphere that makes it a go-to for a lovely meal with friends.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely brilliant – generous portions and a great variety, including options for vegans and those with gluten-free needs, making it a welcoming spot for everyone.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always greeting you with a smile and ensuring you have a fantastic time, whether you're popping in for a quick bite or a full meal.
  • It's got a cosy and atmospheric vibe, perfect for a relaxed Sunday lunch or catching up with mates in a traditional pub setting.
  • Service is spot on, with quick seating and efficient handling of bookings, even for larger groups.
Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours seem a tad confusing from what I've seen, with overlapping schedules that might make it tricky to know when they're open, so it's worth double-checking before heading out.
  • Their website isn't the most helpful – it's a bit of a dead end right now, which could make it harder to get the latest info without going directly to the pub.

Ye Olde Red Lion is a cracking little pub in Lincolnshire, serving up brilliant food and a warm, welcoming vibe that makes it a go-to for a relaxed meal or drink, though it has its minor niggles like any spot.
Pros and Cons

  • The food is absolutely top-notch, with award-winning dishes that offer a fantastic twist on traditional fayre, like their unique Lincolnshire Tapas – it's always a delight and keeps us coming back for more.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making every visit feel like catching up with old mates; they're chatty, helpful, and really add to the homely atmosphere.

  • Prices are spot on for what you get, offering great value without breaking the bank, especially for quality meals in such a picturesque rural spot.
Areas for Improvement
  • There can be the odd service glitch, like not getting the best table when you arrive, which might leave you a bit miffed if you're after a prime spot.

Verified
4.7(82 reviews)
91/100
The Waters Edge is a delightful riverside pub in Spalding with a lively atmosphere and heaps of events, though it's let down a bit by the lack of food and some cleanliness issues.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely fabulous, with live music, DJs, quiz nights, and BBQs that make it a buzzing spot for a good time.
  • It's got a really cosy feel inside, thanks to the wooden beams and log fire, perfect for curling up on a chilly evening.
  • They've got a lovely enclosed garden that's ideal for enjoying a drink on warmer days, and it's dog-friendly too, with water bowls and treats on offer.
  • The staff are generally warm and welcoming, creating that friendly pub vibe where you can relax with family and friends over a great selection of ales and beers.
  • It's well-placed by the River Welland in Spalding, making it a charming spot to unwind and feel part of the community.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some folks have been disappointed to find out there's no food on offer, even though the website might give a different impression, which can put a damper on plans for a proper meal.
  • There have been complaints about the cleanliness, like dirty toilets and tables, which isn't ideal when you're hoping for a tidy spot to enjoy your pint.
  • A few interactions with staff haven't been the friendliest, such as getting a bit of a telling-off for moving items on a table, which might leave you feeling a tad unwelcome.
  • It's closed on Mondays, so if you're planning a mid-week visit, you'll have to keep that in mind and choose another day.

Prior's Oven is a delightful little pub in Spalding, where the warm welcomes and top-quality local brews make it a hidden gem for a relaxed pint.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff and regulars are incredibly friendly, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of local ales and ciders straight from the barrel – perfect if you're after something authentic and tied to the area's history.
  • It's a unique, cosy spot with real character, almost a thousand years old, which gives it that charming, old-school vibe.
  • Prices are really reasonable, so you can enjoy a pint without breaking the bank.
  • The atmosphere is peaceful and neighbourly, with no blaring music, which is a lovely change if you fancy a good chat over your drink.
Areas for Improvement
  • It only opens a few days a week with varying hours, which can be a bit frustrating if you're planning a spontaneous visit.
  • The drinks menu is quite focused on ales and ciders, so if you're after lagers or something more mainstream, you might be out of luck.
  • Being a small micro pub, space could feel a tad limited on busier evenings, and there might not be much in the way of food options beyond a bag of crisps.
  • Their online presence seems a bit patchy – the website didn't load properly for me, so it's not the easiest place to check details ahead of time.

  • The food is absolutely delicious with generous portions that leave you feeling satisfied and happy.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making every visit feel like catching up with old mates.
  • It's got a lovely atmosphere, especially with its riverside spot – perfect for relaxing with a drink and watching the world drift by.
  • Quick service means you won't be waiting around, which is a real bonus on a busy day out.
  • Being open seven days a week with typical hours from around 11 to 9 makes it easy to pop in whenever the mood strikes.
Areas for Improvement
  • There's no website listed, so it can be a bit of a faff to get the latest details or check the menu before heading over.
  • While it's generally well-run, the operating status seems a tad unclear at times, which might put you off if you're not sure it's open.
  • Hours wrap up fairly early at 9 PM, so it's not ideal for those late-night gatherings or if you're after somewhere that stays buzzing into the evening.

The Black Bull Inn is a charming village pub in Kirton that's all about cracking food, top-notch service, and a welcoming vibe – a proper spot for a relaxed get-together.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food here is absolutely brilliant – fresh, tasty, and consistently excellent, whether you're popping in for lunch or a special meal.
  • The staff are so friendly and welcoming; they go out of their way to make you feel right at home, even when things get busy.
  • It's great value for money, with hearty portions and affordable prices that make it a real gem for a casual night out.
  • The atmosphere is lovely and buzzing, especially on weekends, with a mix of families, locals, and visitors creating a warm, community feel.
  • It's reliably open seven days a week with straightforward hours, making it easy to plan a visit without any surprises.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite crowded, particularly during events or peak times, which might mean you end up in the bar area instead of the restaurant.
  • Being a village pub, it's not the most central spot if you're not local, so getting there might take a bit of effort.
  • The online presence feels a tad basic and repetitive, which doesn't give much of a heads-up before you arrive, though that's not a big issue once you're there.

Areas for Improvement
  • There was that one review mentioning some unhelpful bar staff during an event, which could put a dampener on things if it happens.
  • The reviews are a bit outdated, with the most recent from 2022, so it's hard to know if the place is still buzzing as it used to be.
  • Operating hours vary and might not suit everyone, especially with earlier starts on weekends but potentially quiet midweek evenings.

Areas for Improvement
  • It seems to have some inconsistent opening times or might be closed at certain points, which could put a dampener on spontaneous plans if you're popping by unexpectedly.

The Red Lion Hotel is a charming, family-run gem in Spalding with cosy rooms, delicious food, and a warm welcome that makes it a top pick for a relaxed pub visit or stay, though parking and Monday closures are worth noting.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The rooms are absolutely spot on – clean, comfortable, and kitted out with modern touches like flat-screen TVs and free WiFi, making for a proper relaxing stay.
  • The food is a real highlight; think homemade beef burgers, maple glazed salmon, and cracking Sunday roasts with fresh, seasonal veg – it's all tasty and caters to meat lovers, seafood fans, and veggies alike.
  • Staff are top-notch, always friendly and attentive, going the extra mile to make you feel welcome, whether you're popping in for a meal or staying overnight.
  • It's in the heart of Spalding, so you're right in the thick of things, easy to wander around on foot, and they've got live music and events that add a fun buzz to the place.
  • Great value overall, with lovely breakfasts and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it ideal for a weekend getaway or a casual night out.
Areas for Improvement
  • Parking can be a bit of a faff to sort out, so you might end up having to park nearby and walk over, which isn't ideal if you're loaded up with bags.
  • The restaurant shuts its doors on Mondays, which could be a downer if you're planning a mid-week visit and fancy a bite.
  • Some of the older features, like creaky floors in the historic building, add character but might not suit everyone, especially if you're after a super quiet night.
  • While most reviews rave about it, there are a few niggles mentioned, like needing to double-check access details, so it's worth planning ahead.

  • It's clean as a whistle, with good portions and a welcoming crowd that makes it ideal for celebrations or just popping in for a pint.
Areas for Improvement
  • The bar area is a bit on the small side, so it can feel a tad cramped when it's busy.
  • Not much in the way of food options beyond the Sunday roasts, which might leave you wanting more if you're after a full menu.
  • It's a shame there aren't more recent reviews to go on, as the latest ones are from earlier this year, making it hard to know if things have stayed the same.
  • Without a website or claimed Google profile, it might be tricky to get the latest updates on events or opening times.

The Pied Calf is a welcoming local pub in Spalding with top-notch food, friendly service, and great deals, making it a solid choice for a casual get-together over a pint and a bite.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready with a smile and helpful advice, making every visit feel like catching up with old mates.
  • The food is spot on – cooked fresh to order, with great value deals like two pub classics for just £12.99, and it's hearty, tasty grub that hits the spot every time.
  • It's a cosy, historic spot in the heart of Spalding with lovely facilities like a beer garden, dog-friendly vibes, and live sports on the telly, perfect for a relaxed afternoon or evening out.
  • Prices are reasonable, with specials for pensioners and affordable drinks, so you can enjoy a proper pint without breaking the bank.
Areas for Improvement
  • It might not be the fanciest place if you're after something upscale – it's more of a traditional, no-frills pub that keeps things straightforward.
  • There could be some confusion with opening times, as the status seems a bit unclear, so it's worth double-checking before heading out to avoid any disappointment.

Mulberry's Bar in Spalding is a welcoming little spot with a good vibe and cracking beer garden, though it has its quirks like any local haunt.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are really friendly and upbeat, making you feel welcome as soon as you walk in
  • They've got a fantastic beer garden, which is one of the best in Spalding for a relaxed outdoor pint
  • A great selection of interesting beers, including a decent Guinness that stands out compared to other local spots
  • The atmosphere can be lively and enjoyable, especially if you're up for some socialising or watching the footie
Areas for Improvement
  • It might come across as a bit overpriced for a place like Spalding, which could put off those watching their wallet
  • The crowd can feel a tad cliquey at times, making it less welcoming if you're not part of the regular bunch
  • It gets quite busy and noisy, which isn't ideal if you're after a peaceful evening for a quiet chat

Ye Olde White Horse is a charming, historic pub with cracking beer, friendly vibes, and wallet-friendly prices, though it can feel a tad quiet.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's got that wonderful historic charm that makes you feel like you're stepping back in time, just like in those old tales of English pubs.
  • The beer selection is spot on, with great options like Samuel Smiths brews that are refreshing and full of character.
  • Prices are absolutely brilliant – it's an inexpensive spot where you can enjoy a pint or a meal without worrying about the bill.
  • The atmosphere is just right for a good chat; it's nice and quiet, without any blaring music or distractions, perfect for catching up with mates.
  • The food comes freshly cooked and is pretty decent, adding a nice touch to your visit without it feeling like an afterthought.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can be a bit on the quiet side at times, which might not hit the spot if you're after a more lively, buzzing vibe.
  • There's no clear info on operating hours, so you might end up turning up when it's not open, which is a bit of a nuisance.
  • As an unclaimed business, it doesn't seem to have much of an online presence, making it trickier to get the latest updates or details.

Areas for Improvement

Bentleys Bar & Grill is a welcoming grill in Spalding that's spot on for relaxed meals and good vibes, though it has a few niggles like wait times and variable evenings.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating, always making you feel right at home with their top-notch service.
  • The food is absolutely delicious, especially the Sunday carvery – those parsnips are a real highlight, and it's great value for a hearty meal.
  • It's a relaxed and sophisticated spot that's perfect for family outings or casual evenings, with a varied drinks menu that won't break the bank.
  • They offer some brilliant deals, like affordable cocktails and afternoon tea options, making it an ideal place for a catch-up with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • Wait times for food can sometimes drag on, even when it's not too busy, which might leave you a bit peckish.
  • A few dishes, like the vegetables, might not be served piping hot, which is a shame when the rest of the meal is spot on.
  • The music and crowd can vary – some nights it feels more like a student hangout, which might not be everyone's cup of tea.
  • It's only open a few days a week, so you might have to plan ahead if you're keen for a visit.

Spirit Of Endeavour is a welcoming local pub in Boston with friendly faces and decent value grub, but it's got its ups and downs with waits and inconsistent food.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in – it's like chatting with old mates behind the bar.
  • When the food hits the spot, it's spot on; think tasty dishes like sizzling skillets and flame-grilled burgers, all made with fresh ingredients at honest prices.
  • It's a proper community hub, supporting local charities and offering their function area for free, which is brilliant for gatherings or just popping in for a relaxed vibe.
  • Being inexpensive, it's a great spot for everyday meet-ups without breaking the bank, especially with those daily offers that add a bit of extra value.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food can take ages to arrive, even when the place isn't busy, which might leave you twiddling your thumbs and wondering if it's worth the wait.
  • The quality isn't always consistent – some meals turn up overcooked, raw, or stone cold, which is a real shame when you're looking forward to a good pub grub.
  • Atmosphere can feel a bit flat at times, lacking that lively buzz you'd expect, making it less ideal for a buzzing night out.
  • Service varies; while some visits have top-notch staff, others fall short with minimal attention, leaving you feeling a tad overlooked.

  • Friendly and helpful staff who go out of their way to make you feel at home, often sharing tips on other local spots.
  • A fantastic selection of drinks that are always cold, fresh, and just what you fancy after a day out.

  • They show football and have a function room for private parties, making it great for watching the game or hosting events.
Areas for Improvement
  • Prices can be a bit on the steep side, like £13 for a burger and a coke, which might make you think twice before ordering.
  • Not many recent reviews, so it could be hit or miss if things have changed lately.
