"Met a friend for lunch on an October Tuesday. We were met with smiles and a nothing is too much trouble attitude. Although an hour early, having booked, we were offered a choice of tables and left with the menus in peace. About 50 minutes and an excellent pint of Boltmaker later I ordered lunch, the fish pie and the burger plus another pint of Boltmaker and, on good authority, an excellent half of Doombar. Both main courses were very good and served with the same pleasant attitude as we'd already encountered, so much so we decided to divert from our usual one course and ordered a dessert each. The Panna Cotta and the house crumble were a perfect addition. Two good coffees later it was time to leave having spent an enjoyable three and a half hours. As I said to my companion as we enjoyed our coffees The Five Bells had only one drawback, it's about an hour and a quarter from mine. Having said that, it won't stop us from looking forward to another visit before too long. Excellent real ale, wonderful atmosphere, excellent value for money food, a thoroughly enjoyable lunchtime."

The best pub restaurant in the area. We travel 40 minutes cross country roads to get here. If you’re looking for a country pub that serves exceptional food then this is the place to go. Book ahead to avoid disappointment. Well above average pub menu. They have a very good chef. Starters, main and dessert all excellent. They have a very attentive and friendly head waiter, something a lot of places don’t have, this makes a big difference. We have taken many friends here and they have all commented on how good it is.

Booked a table for a Sunday lunch with family. We were seated straight away, and although the restaurant is fairly tightly packed, both with tables and a lot of memorabelia, we were not crowded around the table and it was a comfortable spot. Service was quick and friendly, although we were told when ordering to expect a wait of around 25 minutes for food, which was fairly accurate. It wasn't a problem though, and worth waiting for freshly cooked food! The meals were excellent and went down very well, except for the roast beef, which was good but a bit tough and fatty. The choice was also very good, including a separate vegetarian and vegan menu. Desserts were also good value, very delicious...

"We choose this spot because of the many positive reviews. I guess we turned up on a bad day!I have only been introduced to coffee a few years ago despite being in my mid 50’s and really don’t like coffee unless a well made flat white. I travel the world frequently for work and always ask the same question, can you make a flat white? The reason being unless the person is a passionate barista I rarely get a coffee I enjoy. This question clearly upset the lady serving us who ‘rolled her eyes out loud’ by the question and then represented the request to her colleague in a manner that was more like ‘we have a pain in the arse’ than ‘can we make this gentleman a nice coffee. (Yes we overheard).Everything was fine except the flat white was a milky coffee and not something I enjoyed. Not a problem though. I never said a word but when asked at the counter how things were I thought I would say everything was good except the ‘flat white’. Immediately confronted by both in very hostile way was very surprising as I was only answering a question I thought they were interested in hearing I placed a review on their website and their response is a really good example of their attitude. Instead of focusing on service recovery they wanted to blame me and absolve themselves of any responsibility.I of course mentioned this to a few people in Sleaford and surprise surprise was met with very similar responses, ‘we don’t go there anymore as the staff can be very rude’ Looking forward to seeing how the proprietors decide to respond to this one."
