Green Dragon

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.
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.

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.
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 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.
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
What's Great
  • 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.
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.
  • The operating hours seem a tad inconsistent from what's listed, so it's worth double-checking to avoid turning up when it's closed – nobody wants that disappointment.

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.
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.

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.
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.

  • 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.
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.

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.

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.
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.

  • It's only open a few days a week, which is a shame if you're hoping for a spontaneous visit on a quiet evening.

Great pub. All the staff were really friendly. Popped in for one drink, ended up having a few, a game of pool and lunch. Shame I’m not local otherwise I’d gladly pop in more often.

My wife and I had a Sunday Roast dinner, we both thoroughly enjoyed it, more than enough on our plates, we could have done with a smaller plated version.

Bentleys Bar & Grill

4.1(346 reviews)
82/100
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.
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.

Staff incredibly polite and accommodating. Food delicious (especially the parsnips on Sunday carvery ). Also do takeaway Sunday carvery.

Family trip pre pantomime for 15 of us, pre booked meals and cannot fault the food or service as always in our experience! Clear plates all round and exceptional service

Pretty decent carvery - vegetables could be hotter but great service and clean well maintained surroundings

The Punchbowl in Spalding is a charming local spot with a warm, lively feel and cracking deals on drinks, though it's not without a few niggles that keep it from being perfect.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is really welcoming and community-focused, perfect for catching up with mates over a pint.
  • They've got unbeatable drink offers and prices that won't break the bank, making it a great spot for a casual night out.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been some hygiene slip-ups, like the bar area smelling off, which can put a damper on things.
  • Occasional mix-ups with drink orders, which might leave you frustrated if you're after something specific.

Tulip Queen in Spalding is a charming pub with hearty carvery options and a cosy vibe, though it can get hectic and service isn't always seamless.

82/100
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.
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.

Lincolnshire Poacher

4.1(120 reviews)
81/100
The Lincolnshire Poacher is a charming spot in Spalding with a cosy, traditional vibe, brilliant staff, and solid food and drinks – though you might notice the prices adding up a bit.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The cosy atmosphere with traditional timber beams and an active fireplace really gives it that warm, welcoming old-pub feel.
  • Friendly and helpful staff who go out of their way to make you feel at home, often sharing tips on other local spots.
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.

Nice place, really good food but a little expensive. £13 for a burger and a coke is a bit much but it was really tasty. If the price had been a little better would have been 5 stars hands down.

The Ivy Wall is a solid Wetherspoon spot in Spalding – affordable, friendly, and with a lovely beer garden, but it has its rough edges with cleanliness and decor.
Pros and Cons

  • It's got a great central location in Spalding, perfect for popping in after a wander around town.
Areas for Improvement

  • Cleanliness can be an issue sometimes, with tables not always cleared promptly, which puts a damper on things.

The Wheatsheaf Inn is a charming village pub in Swineshead with a warm, friendly atmosphere and solid grub, but it's got a few rough patches that keep it from being top-notch.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's a welcoming spot with a friendly local vibe, perfect for a chat and a pint with the regulars.
  • Reasonable prices make it easy on the wallet, and they've got some tasty local ales on offer.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some areas feel a bit run-down and shabby, especially the rooms which can be dirty and outdated.
  • It's disappointing when there's no real ale available or when you can't find any bar staff around.
