"My partner and i recently met up here for lunch with other members of our family and we left thoroughly disappointed with both the service and the food, which may i add was very over priced. Considering we had reserved our table we had to queue up to order , when the food did eventually turn up it came in drips and drabs, my partner and i had the leg of lamb which consisted of a couple of slices of tasteless meat and i must mention the vegetables, a long detailed description of this amazing selection... laughable, carrots ?? I had a quarter or ONE yes one and my partner had the quarter of ONE parsnip, this i found was totally unacceptable for the price we paid. Other members of our party too were equally disappointed , the terrine ... salty cat food, was one description, a small plate of pigeon salad, small ? ..micro i would say. i could go on equally about the attitude of the waiter also but i will leave it here, safe to say we won't be returning."

Went for a mother's day brunch. Had the full English. Was very nice but at £12 was a wee bit expensive for basically a fry up!! And the pot of tea was extra.

Really poor, seated for long time, waited, eventually asked waiter to order, said he’d come back soon. Two newly seated tables ordered next to us, then saw our waiter taking orders for another newly seated table. We left, plenty staff, not busy, poor service and management.

I meet a friend here about once a year as it's roughly halfway between us, and it's the most wonderful spot for a catch up. Last time was on a frosty day in December, and it was magical, like living in a Christmas card... complete with a fun run of Santas! We had brunch and then segued on to lunch and a very good time was had. Plus the gift shops were excellent. Food nice, but I have to say it's the ambience that makes it. One day I must see what else Burghley House has to offer! No rush for that though :D

The cafe's location and atmosphere are the only factors contributing to its popularity. Apart from that, the food isn't particularly noteworthy. I have been there a few times, but I am not sure what to think of it, thus it took me some time to write this review. The cuisine is mediocre. The pastries' presentation was shoddy. I am not sure if this was an isolated event or if it has always been this way. I noticed the same thing both times I have been there. The town has many more lovely cafes. I think this cafe would struggle to attract customers if those were a little closer.

Excellent on all accounts. Very professional and efficient team who worked well under pressure. When I visited, it was a busy lunchtime on a sunny scorcher day. Staff coped with the queue and didn't lose their cool, served with smile and grace. Plenty of seats outside in the gardens by the pond. Sloped access for wheelchairs. Lovely presentation of food. Good range of teas and bakes, with vegan and gluten free optionsavailable. I had a pot of tea twist lemongrass and coconut. I had the courgette and lime cake and tried one of the specials chocolate yoghurt mousse. Would revisit and would recommend. Thank you to all the staff.

Had to wait over an hour for food, which didn 't arrive until we complained to a manager. Previously we were told it would come 'next ', but then waited a further 20 mins. We have a 2 year old who was desperately hungry by the time our order arrived. The best bit is it was only 2 small, cold plates and some fish fingers! Would have helped if they had told us the restaurant was in meltdown at the point where we ordered. We wouldn 't have bothered. Saw a few more tables getting full refunds while we were there. We were also fully refunded. The food, when it finally came, was pretty good. I wouldn 't recommend this place at peak times, or for those with kids.

"Bank Holiday Monday in Stamford. Most places are shut, and the town is a lot quiter than usual... My wife is MADLY hungry, and insists we choose somewhere QUICKLY (this isn 't a request! , so we head into the very first place we come across No1 Kitchen. We 'd glanced at the menu on the way in, but our only real concern was that it was open, and it had food. A very friendly waitress showed us to our table, in a lovely corner spot, and I availed myself of the facilities, which were spacious and pristinely clean (something of a 'yardstick ' for us in terms of a well looked after restaurant... The waitress was soon back for our drinks order, and once she 'd delivered our Cokes we went for the Hot and Spicy Burger, with twisty fries, and a Mediterranean Lamb Burger, with corn on the cob. This too arrived promptly, with various Heinz condiments, and everything was hot and fresh! Both burgers were utterly SPLENDID, and we agreed they were The Real Thing, and particulary suited to discerning adults. There were PLENTY of twisty fries, which were crispy, well presented, and nicely seasoned. The burgers were deceptively filling, and my wife couldn 't quite manage hers, but even whilst eating we were planning our next visit, to try out other burger options. Overall, this was nothing short of a Perfect Lunchtime Visit, and we 'd enthusiastically recommend it to other burger lovers! Even if I tried my hardest, there was absolutely NOTHING to fault about this gorgeous restaurant, and we 're amazed to have never seen/visited before. It won 't be long before we put this right..."

"This used to be my favourite Indian restaurant in Stamford, up until I ordered a takeaway last Friday. I am vegetarian and have been for many years, so I order on the phone and not via just eat to reiterate my dish is to be...just sauce with no meat. I ordered a tikka masala sauce and ate about 1/4 of it. The next day I went to have my leftovers and noticed pieces of chicken in the dish!! I felt sick and then realised had probably eaten small bits of chicken the night before. Ew. I threw away the dish and the accompanying dishes because who would eat dry naan and rice? I called them about this disgusting issue and they proceeded to imply I was lying, as they do not prepare the meat with the sauces. When I responded with the fact I have photos of it, they changed their tone and offered me £10 off my next meal there, I said this wasn't acceptable as I cant trust their food preparation practices anymore and I said I wanted a refund instead. They accepted and I was told I had to come into the restaurant to get this refund, despite the fact I originally paid over the phone but when I got to the restaurant they tried to refund me only for the sauce, which does not cost must but I explained that I couldn't eat any of the meal and I was out of pocket much more than just the sauce. They finally offered a refund of no more than £10 and tried to give cash until I refused and then eventually I was given the refund on my card. The man was quite rude the whole time I was there. Their excuse was the chef had got the order mixed up and this was the reason for the chicken pieces, its very obvious the dish was made with chicken and just plucked out before sending it to me. I am highly allergic to prawns and this would be a different story if it was not chicken being lazily served!!! If it was a “kitchen mix up” then I would have had whole bits of chicken in the dish and this would have been a genuine mistake and could have been rectified. Watch out, bad food preparation and lazy approach to dietary requirements and allergies."
