Reviews of Homestead
K. N.
I had a beautiful meal here, cooked to perfection. Staff are very friendly and helpful. I had the guilty pleasure of eating my dessert and then realising afterwards I forgot to take a photo. It was delicious. A warm chocolate brownie so soft , clotted ice cream and a drizzling of chocolate sauce
P. M.
Building was nice, as nice atmosphere inside.
Overall it was OK,, pie was nice, gravy was like jelly, veg was pint warm.
The lady serving us was good at her job.
It is not somewhere I would rush back to.
L. D.
We haven't been in for a while because the food went down hill. However, I have to say how very pleasantly surprised I was at how good the food was, and the amazing service. To put the icing on the cake, they have a new IPA called Ice Breaker, which is awesome. We had a fantastic evening, looked after very attentively by the lively Lynn, who guided by wife towards a Vegan burger that was out of this world.
D. P.
After many years called in to have a coffee but decided on lunch instead. A good choice , the meals were very good with a salad dressing that has to be praised. The main parts of our meals were served quickly and tasted delicious. Service was polite and friendly and the toilets looked as if they had been finished yesterday, so clean and with quality soap and decent hand driers. This Pub/Restaurant is a credit to the manager and staff. Greene King should be proud of them.
J. F.
Booking in to dine, very easy over the phone.
Lunch - every option sounded great... then, when we were served everything looked and turned out to be delicious. Staff were great as usual, but a special sparkle on Wednesday from Evelyn who was a great hit with my kids - well done!!
E. M.
Me and my father came here today and it was one of the best restaurants/pubs I've ever been in. My father had the mixed grill, which he finished joyfully. And I had their cheeseburger, which was amazing.
The service was amazing, the food came in a reasonable time frame and we were served and cared for by a lovely lady called Emma.
Go here if you're in the area!
K. A.
Haven't been to this pub for a few years.
On this occasion I was very pleasantly surprised with the tasty menu and prices.
I had the seafood platter which was lovely. Only critique was the new potatoes needed a little longer cooking , but apart from that it was lovely. Service and staff were great and I notice that they have Emma serving who's worked in the windmill. All I can say is that it is the windmills loss and very much homesteads gain, lovely lady and very polite and cheerful making sure everything was ok. Thanks Emma!
s. M.
This was our first time at The Homestead. We are here for a two day break. We was looked after by a lovely young man called Sean. He was so friendly and helpful. The meal was so lovely good value for money. I couldn't fault anything. We will definitely come again 🙂
L. C.
Very disappointing.
I ordered chicken with bacon in a bun, the bun was inedible. Some of my friends ordered in a bun. The fillings were nice but all the buns were extremely stale.
I have just looked at the menu page on fb, our delivery looked absolutely nothing like in the pictures.
We sat outside so went indoors to order. It was delivered, but we never saw anyone ever again.
Wouldn't be in a rush to return
S. S.
Very classy pub and dog friendly with treats and blankets, lovely outdoor seating area the food was superb and staff were lovely. First time we have been but we will ge back. Very highly recommend 👌
A. L.
Very long wait time for service and ordering. When food arrived, there was cling film on it! Waitresses was very apologetic and took the price of the meal off the bill, but wasn't great. Usually nice food, but service was so slow!
A. W.
First time attending and was very impressed. Lovely setting, professional friendly staff and great food. Will return.
M.
Lovely lunch here, food was great, staff were lovely and place has been really nicely refurbished. The sea bass florentine was worth a special mention too!
S. B.
It’s a building full of history and it’s nice for the pub to recognise this, with plenty of signage and comments on the menu to raise awareness of the past the place had. The interior is really well decorated although the high ceilings can make it a little chilly, especially during less busy times. The staff are all really friendly straight from arrival and we were made to feel welcome immediately. The dining area is much bigger than it initially looks but there’s a good area available should you only be wanting drinks. The car park is very large with the whole place accessible.
The menu has a good range and is as you’d expect if you’re familiar with the chain. There’s a nice blackboard on the wall showing the daily offers available and some of these offer some great value! Our order was taken professionally and the food itself arrived in good time. The calamari starter came with three large rings and they were cooked well with a good sized dip and some rocket. The sirloin steak was cooked correctly to the order but some veg would have been nice, with it instead coming with only half a tomato. For the price though it was a good portion size in general.
The toilets were clean as was the whole restaurant in general and overall it was a great early evening meal. It was good value, especially if you can take advantage of the deals available, and it’s a really relaxing environment.
C. W.
Arriving around six on a Tuesday evening we found the place almost empty. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The choice of food was extensive. Our drinks were delivered quickly. The meals were all well presented and tasty. All in all this was a pleasant dining experience. Reasonable range of veggie and vegan options - ask for the vegan menu as it's not provided by default.
G. H.
I really enjoy my food every time I visit. I think the price is fair and the staff are the perfect amount of attentive! :)
D.
Fantastic menu choices. Great service & price. If it were closer to home is be there more often
P. H.
Was driving past on Monday and decided to pop in for a meal. Was quite busy but was greeted by Lynn and shown to a table. We ordered our food at the bar as we sat in the bar area. Had a Chicken and Mushroom Pie with mash . Food was served to us after about 15 mins. Food was hot and tasted lovely. Paid out bill and left got a goodbye from the man at the bar. Overall very pleasant.
B. H.
Had a lovely time on Sunday. Was greeted by a male at the door and shown to a table. Had Lynn as our sever who explained about the new menu and specials. We both decided to order the fillet burger. Waited bout 15 for food. Food was lovely and hot. Overall a
Lovely time.
G. P.
Amazing service and relaxed atmosphere. Lynn was extremely welcoming, friendly and polite. Our waiter was also lovely and friendly. Had a great night with the family and will definitely be back on my next visit to Lincoln. Thank you and keep up the good work.
D. T.
A Gem of a place belongs to the chef and brewer collection amazing beer and beautifully cooked food with an hard working team.
K. G.
The Homestead is a very nice pub. We've been there twice now and will definitely be returning. They have a wide selection to choose from on the food menu and the food is top quality. I particularly enjoy the freshly baked cookie that comes with the coffee. Drinks wise, again, there is a good selection to choose from, including one of my personal favourites, Ice Breaker on draught. The staff are friendly and efficient and the toilets are immaculate.
A. R.
Good value and clean. The tables are well spaced out (COVID secure), polite & friendly staff.

Had a lovely meal at the Homestead that provided a great number of gluten free options. And was well looked after by Carla and her colleagues. Thanks very much
S. P.
Excellent Sunday dinner, made even nicer using Tesco vouchers. Excellent service and a nice big portion. We'll be back.
N. W.
Good food, well kept ale (Greene King IPA), very nice pub with great service, everything covid secure.
R. W.
Food and staff good but felt almost as if it was going out of business hardly anyone else there quite a dull feeling.🤔
K. R.
Gandey and Evelyn were so accommodating today. They provided a slush puppie version of what I wanted from the coop. Both so friendly and helpful. I have got a barcode as I requested there details personally. I'm not good with barcodes but please regard this as I will be returning very soon.
K. M.
Just had a lovely Sunday lunch, the blade of beef was amazing, food was served promptly and staff were polite and attentive, a very nice experience.
A. H.
Very nice Sunday roast only 2 complaints was a very sunny teatime and had to squint as there's no blind or curtain to pull across the window other thing was the table right outside our window who were smokers and vape cig that we could also Smell as we were eating have visited Chef & Brewers all around the country and this has only been our one complaint
Food and staff have always been friendly and professional but thought this was worth a mention
Thank you
T. W.
We visited regards U3A potential lunch. It was all good and we sorted out a lunch for 50 people for Wed 14/9/22. Terry.
P. W.
Nice enjoyable meal. Reasonably priced. Not too many people about during lunch time. The room felt a little cold for my liking, but then you can't please everyone.
U. B.
A very clean and spacious pub. A good selection of drinks and the staff are friendly and welcoming
S. R. C.
Amazing staff, really friendly. Beautiful pub inside and out. Can't wait to go back and try the Sunday roast. Looked amazing!
L. R.
We called in for lunch today, we have a little dog & asked if we could bring her inside while we had food, it was a little chilly outside but we were prepared to sit outside if necessary, the guy who welcomed us was very polite & explained they didn't allow dogs in the food area but was happy to seat us in a quiet corner & brought us a bowl of water for our dog. The food was lovely, we choose off the lunchtime menu which was very reasonable & for an extra £3 you could have a starter or main, we didn't expect the food to be so plentiful or as well presented, it was delicious, the drinks were also lovely & abit different, all in all a very pleasant experience. Thank-you to the staff for making us all so welcome 😊
p. F.
Had several meals here and always been excellent, staff always nice and welcoming.
A. G. (.
Had a lovely meal in a really nice festive setting. Really enjoyed the piping hot food. Highly recommended
K. “. W.
Excellent service, social distancing and time. A group of 6 arriving at midday did not leaving until early evening. One of the group had a full gluten free menu. All meals were beautifully cooked and enjoyed. I had probably the best restaurant fish and chips ever. The batter was really light and crunchy and the white fish had not dried out but was perfectly moist.
J. S.
Food was nice. Menu drastically reduced from previous years. No coffee available.
N.
Very nice food, good service, Lynn's funny! Made a few laughs at our table.
K. D.
I have been to the Homestead on a few occasions and I've always found the servers to be friendly and helpful. There are plenty of gluten free options to choose from too, and the meals I've had have been lovely.
F. B.
Really enjoyed our visit. We were travelling past Lincoln & stopped in for food.
Staff were excellent, friendly & very helpful.
Food was very good. There were couple of items not available on menu, but that I assume is down to supply chain issues.
Would definitely recommend visiting & we will go back when in the area.
D. H.
Great staff. Nice quality meals had by all.
C. R.
Only stopped here for a drink on the way home from a short break in Yorkshire but seemed to be a decent place.
Social distancing maintained throughout.
Slightly reduced beer list due to being just post shutdown but still have a decent selection.
g. b.
my wife requires gluten free food - the homestead had a whole menu for her instead of the odd choice she normally gets. we were very impressed with the choice on offer and the food was delicious. the service from Lynn was second to none, helpful, professional, cheery and polite.
the atmosphere was condusive to a happy and relaxed feeling. we will most certainly be back and would not hesitate to recomend the Homestead to family and friends.
R. P.
Good food, reasonably priced along with great service.
D. M.
Even though the bar was empty, the manager was reluctant to let us in(3). He said all the tables were booked. Said we could have a drink ,but it no meals. Then he offered us bar meals. The restaurant had a large party on one table and a table with a small party. No one else came in, the only thing I can conclude, he was short staffed. All that aside he was very pleasant, and the place was nice and clean. Also the water that served us was very nice.
h. m.
Went there for lunch and I really enjoyed it food was great 👍 highly recommend
P. S.
Fantastic food and beautiful decor top place to visit for a meal.
G. C.
Great food served in a relaxed atmosphere by a very nice chap called Dean. Shall definitely be going again.
J. W.
Beautiful food great service, they cater for all intolerances, have a special gluten free menu for adults and children.
Only down side if was cold as heating had broken down, didn't take away from the family get together
S. H.
Brilliant staff menu could do with a shake up ... Nice building .. but just lacks a decent menu
D. B.
Absolutely loved it. Had a little daddy daughter date night tea there and staff and manager couldn't have been any nicer. Food was brilliant and definitely going again and would recommend highly
K. H.
Lovely food, especially the gluten free options. The staff was lovely especiallythe two male waiters that were on. Couldn't ask more from them. They were very catering especially with gluten free options. The restaurant itself was nice and clean and welcome. Could not fault it. Nice food. Great service.

Food was great, atmosphere really good, service fantastic. Overall would definitely go back👍

Came with friends who had steak (which they enjoyed). My husband & I are vegetarians. Only 2 options on the menu and one of those not available!! We ended up with deep fried halloumi and chips which was OK. However, we hadn't been in a resaurant in many years with so few options for vegetarians (and nothing if you are a vegan). Very poor.
L. M.
The experience was great from the start of the booking when I rang to the bill coming at the end. I have a medical requirement and Dave has been the only person in all my 30 years living with this, "did I need to know how long the food was going to be", great food and drinks
M. M.
Had a good meal my server was carla and couldn’t fault her happy and willing to help with anything will revisit
J. C.
The food was excellent and the service very friendly and courteous. .No loud music just some in the background..we loved it and will definitely be back .!!!

My husband and I came to the homestead for our first date night in a long time, we had the sharing board to start and it was beautiful! My husband had the Cajun chicken burger, unfortunately it lacked any actual Cajun spice! The chicken itself was cooked to perfection and tasted lovely, just not at all Cajun. I had the chicken and woodland mushroom pie with mashed potatoes, the veg was cooked with a satisfying crunch, the mash was very buttery and the pie tasted very nice. The gravy was nice but I had to ask for more of it as the serving was too small.
Their Covid procedures are excellent, speaking as a nurse, I couldn’t complain at all.
Overall the service was friendly, the food was delicious and we felt safe. Thumbs up from us!
K. C.
Very accommodating turned up without booking gave us a table just for 2 nice surroundings friendly staff had Sunday roast which was very good not over priced good choice of meats with fresh veg etc would definitely go back asap booking is recommended though
D. O.
I went for dinner yesterday with my partner after not having been for a number of years.
The service, venue and overall vibe was great and we couldn't fault it at all! All staffs were friendly and food and drinks were delivered on time.
Unfortunately, the food was very bland which was disappointing. We ordered starters (creamy mushroom dish and sweet potato and red pepper koftas), mains were battered lemon and coriander halloumi with triple cooked chips and mushy peas and dessert was the salted caramel sundae.
The starters and mains lacked salt and flavour in general. I've had the halloumi dish before and this is the reason I came back but we couldn't taste any lemon or coriander whatsoever and I'm pretty sure I was given a lemon wedge with it before.
The dessert, we swapped the chocolate ice cream for more clotted cream ice cream and again it was just All bland. There were more brownie pieces than the cheesecake and barely any salted caramel sauce.
So, unfortunately whilst we were really looking forward to the food, it really let us down, however the service and overall dining experience was lovely, so thank you to the staff who served us!
J. B.
We've been coming here on and off for a few years. The pub is always clean and the layout is ideal. Unfortunately we find the manager has no customer service skills at all. This has put us off. Our last visit a few days ago, basic customer service was lacking.
P. P.
Good meal .. nice staff ... just a little slow with getting drinks to table ..
D. E.
Nice place, good food (nice veggie options) and good service. Recommended
A. N.
Came in on Monday evening.
Was looked after very well by Amy the new manager.
Excellent visit, we’ll worth it
J. T.
Polite, well mannered staff! Food was nice but took a while to come out 🙂
W. B.
Went to the Homestead for the first time in a very long time. Absolutely loved it! Friendly staff, lovely decor & great food.We will be going back very soon !!
S. P.
Had a very tasty and Covid safe family meal here 7-10-2020. We were looked after by the lovely Lynn who made a special effort with our 4 year old great-niece. Great food, excellent service and a very thorough cleaning regime. Looking forward to returning soon. Thank you.
S. E.
Came for food the other night and it was beaut 😋 staff were amazing making sure we had everything we needed and the new manager amy is a credit to the place ! Will definitely be returning 😊
e. r.
Lovely attentive staff. Especially Gandey. Always feel well looked after. Love the gin selection and the food has always been great. Well prepared and tasty. Our local place to go for a decent lunch or dinner
E. L. P.
Amazing service was well looked after while I was here. Quick and loverly service. David was brilliant :)
J. B.
I visit this restaurant often for work purposes, it's a great setting and the staff are impeccable the food is excellent and reasonable priced.
I would recommend this place to anyone.
D. N.
The food and service was exceptional. I'm a local to Bracebridge Heath but I've not been there for about 8 years. My last experience was not good but I've been hearing good reports about it. It was a great meal and the choice was perfect. Glad I chose to go here tonight instead of the other local. Highly recommended.
P. Z.
Very friendly and attentive staff. Food was superb,very reasonably priced. Nice to see a selection of non alcoholic beers and ciders on sale.
P. M.
Present situation with distancing well covered. Varied menu with good and popular choices, I went for Pork Belly which was damn good! Didn't have a starter but the Eton Mess went down well.
Definitely back soon - Covid providing- for the Hunters Chicken Special.
Staff were well informed, aware and realy helpful.
Its not Michelin but its flipping good and a relaxed and welcoming venue
A. R.
Clean, well spaced out tables and lovely food. Very tasty soup, delicious lamb shoulder melts in the mouth and chicken pie. Fabulous desserts. Very attentive staff with excellent customer care.
R. D.
Hi everyone very nice place to eat and drink but I personally forgot to call to book in the table just drive and arrive we were advice to have a drink at the bar wait till 4 pm then get a table but as I have driven a long way we went elsewhere as circumstances I had to get drop off my girls then myself back to London I,ll will definitely come back and call in the future highly recommended them all staff Robert dugdale xxxxx
B. k. r. P.
Good food ,no real ale !!
S. B.
Love this place ! We go quite often, the food is always great and the staff are a joy to be served by.
A. R.
COVID procedure was in place. Staff were friendly but few and far between.
Several items on menu were not available, felt like they were struggling a little bit. The meal we had was ok but a bit overpriced.
A. G.
Great service, we weren't expecting anything special but late on a Sunday evening this place saved our bacon.
The chocolate brownie finished off the meal perfectly.
M. J.
Lovely food and service at good prices. If you sign up to their newsletter you get frequent deals. Ignore the brain-dead reviews about prices or lack of offers, it's good value. As for the one about outside seating, you can't take bookings for outside because if it rains it'll be a big problem. They are also following Covid guidelines well. Enjoyable experience.
D. W.
Just had a fantastic meal here it was very tasty and beautifully presented and I thought very reasonably priced, a very good selection on the menus too. The surroundings were also extremely nice with a cosy feel and we were greeted by a very pleasant chap who took us to our table. We will definitely be going back!
P. C.
I love the food here. Say what you like about 'pub chain food' but I've never had a bad meal here. The service has always been excellent too.
As for the ale? I'm not a big drinker but the real ales are as good as they get.
M. P.
Popped in for a meal on spec, they serve food all day which is great. The food was tasty and well presented. Service was good. The pub had a good range of beer with a Christmas guest ale, great. A good visit, will most certainly return
N. N.
The place looks nice and the staff were lovely but I wouldn't rate the food. My mum had a small lasagne with a piece of garlic bread and nothing else. I had the brewers chicken but it wasn't incredible and rather small. I don't think the menu choices were very good. But like I said the staff were brilliant.
J. S.
Good food service and price. Will definitely return, highly recommend the Homestead Lincoln
R. B.
6 of us went for a birthday meal. We'd not been to the Homestead for ages and were all pleasantly pleased with the new decor. We all enjoyed our meal which was served quickly and was hot. Very enjoyable and we shall be returning soon.
A. G.
Great place to visit. Dog friendly and they have doggie treats available too. Worth a visit if you are in the area
G. G.
Popped in as on the way home - great steak, cooked just good I asked for it to be. Was very tasty. Hubby had a pie which he said was very good lots of tasty filling. Waitress very nice. Quite quiet, decorated nicely, and good food.
Would happily go again.
W. H.
Lovely surrounding with a fabulous selection of food to chose from. Staff are cheerful and come to the table to take your order for both food and drink.
Portions are large so if you like value for money, you certainly get it. Long list of nommy deserts.
Highly recommended
D. H.
Lovely food, very friendly staff.. thankyou
R. B.
I booked a buffet for the Homestead to be held earlier this week for a funeral reception.
The food was brought out on time and everything I had was lovely and very fresh tasting. I am very happy with my choice of venue.
There was plenty of tea and coffee supplied as well and the lemon drizzle cake was lovely.
We were given our own space so no one could intrude and the decor gives a good atmosphere.
the building is also very attractive and has a very good sized car park.
This venue is also a 5 minute drive from Lincoln Crematorium and very easy to direct people to.
Thank you Homestead
D. P.
Had a great meal today. The food was delicious and the service was friendly and efficient. Highly recommended
J. C.
The staff and food were excellent
C. H.
Lovely food at a great price
S. M.
The staff were friendly and professional. I went for lunch with my partner and young son. It was a spontaneous choice as we saw it in passing. Not really a place for kids (very little kid friendly facilities) more suited for an adult clientele although there were plenty of children eating on a saturday lunch time The food was OK but nothing to make me want to go back but saying that it wasn't overly expensive either. If it was a toss up between a fast food place or this I would go here.
S. R.
We had a lovely meal here, the decor is beautiful, food good, the only thing that is a little disappointing is that a large glass of wine is nearly £8!
M. N.
Love the new decor and the staff were very friendly....nice to see some older staff working there. We went as a group of 5 adults for my sons 19th birthday. The waitress was lovely and let my son order his favourite of Gammon even though it wasn't on the menu, then served it with a candle stuck in it which made us all giggle. However, the food was a bit of a let down! What we had was nice enough but portion sizes were very small compared to nearby places like Mill Lodge which I think is probably very slightly cheaper (although we did sign up to their club so got a free starter or dessert for our first visit to the Homestead). I ordered seafood grill (about £15) and even though I am not a big eater, the portions of fish were very small.....Cod, Sea Bass, Salmon and 2 king prawns. The piece of salmon I got was literally 1" square and about 5mm thick! Deserts were nice enough. I had sticky toffee pudding with a JUG of custard but bear in mind the JUG was tiny.....about an eggcup full of custard in all! Boys had a sundae but the cream was over whipped, thick and hard (like when you whip cream and then try and use it the next day). Consensus was that the place and staff were very good and the food was 'OK' but nothing exceptional and a bit overpriced for what you got. Not sure we will be rushing back which is a shame as I really like the atmosphere and setting.
I. M.
Great atmosphere, staff really pleasant, Had a few family meals here now and had no problems with quality also great food.
L.
Had a lovely meal here. Staff were efficient and friendly and the decor is outstanding. Feels like you are in an upmarket restaurant but the prices are very reasonable. Will be returning soon.
H. W.
4 of us visited the Homestead last weekend while in Lincoln for Xmas Market. Lovely building and decor, very comfortable inside, staff friendly and good service. Downside was the food, it does not live up to the "delicious handmade" descriptions on the menu. We had starters and mains, way overpriced as it was basic at best, mixed grill was inedible. Had better food at weatherspoon chains for half the price.
A. P.
The food and surroundings were good and the staff very attentive. We were quite a big party of people and everyone enjoyed the evening. The pkace was very quiet. Had one been alone or eith a couple of others the atmosphere may have felt sepulchral.
M. S.
Great food and good prices :)
A.
Excellent food and service. Shaun and Lynn are very welcoming, The food was delicious we had a lovely night. Thank you. Xx
J. B.
Good food, nice selection and very reasonable prices. Relaxing environment as well as friendly efficient staff. No complaints.
A. P.
Fantastic place, meals we had were very nice and staff couldn’t have been more helpful, added bonus we could bring our dog into a designated area within the bar. Very cosy and lovely atmosphere, will definitely return
P. C.
Decided last minute to go out for tea and we had a wonderful meal served by very nice and polite staff.
H. G. U. C.
Went about a month ago.
Didnt know what to expect as hadn't been to this place for many years. When I last went it was rubbish.
Man its changed excellent food. Waitress (short black hair). Was really down to earth and excellent service.
Would deffo go again.
N. S.
Found this place by accident really but what a pleasant surprise. Great service from the staff who all seemed to care about what they were doing, that's nice to see these days, the company should be proud of you all. Great food too. Would definitely recommend this place and it's very worth the short trip from Lincoln.
S. H.
Visited on the spur of the moment - and so glad we did! Loved the decor, the wonderful tasty fresh food (gooseberry crumble and custard, yum!) and gorgeous coffee. Empty plates ans full tums 😁😁 Try the lemon or elderflower soda for a bit of a kick!!
P. L.
Visited at lunch time. Not very busy. The place was clean and tidy. The person who served us was not particularly friendly. Ordered food which came quickly. It was okay but nothing special. Had dessert which case much better than the main course.
C. P.
First time we've visited the Homestead, and it won't be the last.
The food was good, the beer was good and the price was fair.
Our waitress Kirsty, was pleasant and knowledgeable about the products.
All in all, a lovely pub to spend at evening.
K. H.
The food here has got a lot better since the take over. It's becoming to have the old family feeling again. Food still needs working on as not perfect but the staff are really nice.
C. C.
Great food + drinks, lovely atmosphere, booked a table in the car park then walked straight in to our table
M. B.
Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and good food, what more can you want

Had a meal here this evening and although the food was nice and the waiter we had was nice who brought out the food.
The lady with the blonde and short hair, behind the bar however, who I'm guessing who is the manager, is rude and just from being there for 2 hours seemed to be even ruder and possibly even a bully to those under her supervision. (Funnily enough seems to be the only person without a name tag)
We originally where only going to have drinks but decided to stay for food. While having drinks, the staff where slateing a customer who had just left, very loudly! When we moved to have food, my partner ordered at the bar, he came back to the table to tell me that the manager had been rudely talking to and about a member of staff in front of him while ordering.
Then while sat near the entrance waiting for food we watched 3 groups of people waiting at the wait to be seated sign for 5-10 minutes each before they where even acknowledged. When one lady asked if they where going to be seen the manager shouted across the room with a rude tone saying yer I will be there in a minute when I'm done.
At 8pm she was turning people away putting them off with the 40 minute wait telling them each time they said that's ok, she came back with another negative reason trying to put them off sitting down.
I most definitely won't be returning and I dare say the 3 groups of people won't be either the attitude of the manager stinks and most definatley not what should be the front of house.
The male waiter who dealt with us was very friendly and accommodating and the food was good.
I think that some staff training and staff performance reviews would be with looking into if your wanting this place to exceed the perfect pub set up as it is lovely inside and has the potential to do well.
I never leave negative reviews but was so shocked by the customer service of some of the staff.

Had a lovely meal here today for our daughter's birthday, staff was very friendly and helpful . The male waiter that served us was very helpful and friendly ( unfortunately didn't get his name ) . Thank you for making our daughter's birthday meal special .
S. B.
Very good food not just pub grub more homely but comforting.

The homestead has all the makings to be a very popularly place, suitable amount of parking, very clean on the inside with great decor, staff very pleasant, waiter service. Ordered the traditional turkey roast, for £9.69 but feel like i would get better value for money in comparison with similar establishments
m. b.
I had high hopes the decor was really nice it's a shame the food did not live up to decor snd service or perhaps chief had an off night. At least they gave us one meal for free but that eas only because the lasagne was to dry to eat. I would go back for the customer service and the feel of the place just not the food.
C. M.
Decent food and great service , especially from Lynn who got the coffee/dessert combo spot on . X

I come here every time I come to Lincoln. Sometimes for food...the beef rib is excellent!
And other times just for a drink.
The building is stunning and there's a comfortable corner to relax in after a long drive.
K. P.
I used to live this place, still nice however I think the menu seems smaller, harder to choose something. It has lost its cozy feel too. Saying all that it's still cheap enough and nice food.
C. H.
Very nice meal in superb surroundings. Staff couldn't have been more helpful. Reasonably priced. Good children's menu.
R. B.
Much improved since being done up. Great food. However it can be a bit slow for service. After asking for the bill we had to wait half an hour until they brought it.
D. T.
This pubs has a fresh look, stylish and well co ordinated. Was attending a meeting so just a cuppa, bar staff were nice even with my little order.
H. H.
Quick stop for an all day breakfast. Prompt and polite with a lovely atmosphere. Nice family venue, but doesn't allow a child free for all like some of the "play" orientated establishments. A very welcome change.
M. F.
Lovely food n excellent service. Visited here with Family and 2 Children. Would definitely eat here again.
E. F.
Very good food, decent pricing as well. Fully recommended and happy to go back again. Friendly staff very polite and accommodating.
C. g. B.
The service was impeccable very good young lady that served is very helpful considering she was working alone and the whole place to cover my only disappointment was the food portion sizes very small I had a sharing platter you would get a bigger meal at McDonald's as a Happy Meal and I also had the sharing platter pudding certainly not worth the money there was charging overall the food was very good it just needs to be larger
D. S.
Very enjoyable good food good beer nice staff will be back
H. G.
Just spent a very pleasant few hours in the sun outside the Homestead with some of their excellently kept Greene King IPA and a plate of sea bass. Tasty food, very reasonably priced and friendly staff; what more could you want?

I have been to the Homestead several times now & have found the food & service to be very good. However in resonant years I have felt that the place is in serious need of a revamp in the decorating department & some of the staff could be a little happier as they go about there day.
