Restaurants · Sleaford
Sunday roasts here come with proper portions and a good spread of vegetables, though the gravy can be on the mean side — worth asking for extra. The kitchen is a step above pub cooking: the baked camembert starter gets rave mentions, as does duck breast with beetroot, salmon with rösti in a creamy sauce, and a chocolate fudge torte with malted milk ice cream. Prices reflect that, but not painfully so — around £77 fed two with soft drinks. Free parking, high chairs, buggy access and a kids' menu are all sorted, and there's garden seating in a pretty village setting plus plenty of room inside, so a pram isn't a problem. Staff are attentive and unhurried with families, though drinks can lag when it's busy. Vegan and gluten-free choices are genuinely there, not an afterthought.
