"I had Sunday lunch there for the first time and was very impressed with both the food and the service. The roast beef and pork shoulder were cooked to perfection, just like the roast potatoes and parsnips. Overall, it was an excellent meal. We will definitely be returning. Rooms: 4, Service: 5, Location: 5."

"The Stag Inn is a delightful looking pub overlooking the small green in the village of Barkston near Grantham. Internally the pub is clean and tidy with a range of two and four seater tables with New England shades of light blue on the painted table legs in the restaurant area. We didn’t venture into the pub side so can’t vouch for the decor in there. We arrived unannounced just after opening time of 12 and were offered a table with no difficulty. There was a menu of the usual offerings of fish and chips and a range of burgers together with roast salmon, chargrilled pork chop, a leek and cauliflower cheese pot pie, ham egg and chips and a vegetable lasagne amongst others. A specials chalkboard hung on the far wall and the crab and prawn salad with Mediterranean bread sounded so good we both opted for it. That was a mistake as we were to find out. The meals were reasonably quick to arrive and were served up in two large bowls with a dusting of paprika round the edges. What hit me immediately was the large flaccid green lettuce leaf draped over the edge of the bowl, together with a whole half-a-lemon that we each had. A small wedge would be perfect. The bread tasted sweet and was as far from the Mediterranean as it could possibly be apart from the occasional input of sundried tomato. What irked me most though was that the bread was delivered up pre-buttered with what looked like some bright yellow catering spread. A small ramakin of real butter between the two of us would work so much better. When asked if everything was okay I mentioned this and was told that chef would be informed. Having said all that the crab and prawn salad was full of flavour and sat on a nice mixed salad of red peppers, lettuce, red onion and cornichons. A word of advice to the wise….. don’t sit at the table near the restaurant counter as this is where the pub’s phone is located. On at least two occasions the phone was left to ring unanswered by the staff, presumably as they were busy elsewhere (the pub was by no means full) and was right behind my head! The volume of the ringer was high and it would have been a more pleasant experience for us if, firstly, it was answered and, secondly, the volume was turned down. On the plus side the staff were polite and helpful but the food not so great."

"The decor of this restaurant is truly charming, the food is excellent. However, the prices seem to be on the higher side. Be cautious if you're driving, as they charge £3.30 for a half pint of lemonade and blackcurrant."

"Went to the Waggon to have a meal with friends, but only a small group.Easy free parking, plenty of room round the back for loads of cars.Reception was ok but we did get an employee who was on his second day so wasn't perfect but understandable.Sat in the restaurant area, the table did have some dirt on it, like loose mud or something which I had to wipe off with a napkin.When seated was asked for drinks order quite promptly but then they forgot to bring them out until after we had already started our starters.The starters were a very large portion, a bit too much really.I had the vegetable samosas which were a bit underdone. Came out slightly pale and flourery. The filling was more of potato fluff than the usual medley of spicy veg so a bit disappointing.Had the veg biriyani for main which was huge. Very tasty, packed with veg and plenty of spice.Service was ok but they did keep flitting from table to table mid-way through serving our table. They would sort of be half way through setting out our cutlery then wander off and do the drinks order for another table.Overall it was good food, a nice environment and priced right.With the bar just next door, it would make a perfect place for groups of all sizes to meet socially and enjoy curry and a pint."
