Fox And Hounds - West Lindsey

Great bar staff such a friendly welcome the two ladies on the bar was such a laugh and had a laugh but ordered a chip butty I don't even think it will even fill a child

We went for dinner after a bit of research on local (Gainsborough) area restaurants. The staff and the atmosphere were pleasant. For starters we had seabass fishcake, which was very good, though the sweet chilli sauce was a little too powerful for the delicate flavours in the fishcake. The other starter were the cranberry and brie wontons which came out burnt black in places so I had it replaced with no fuss (really shouldn 't have come out like it in the first place). Main courses were chicken wrapped in bacon with Stilton sauce (excellent) and the 'luxury ' fish pie which was a case of quantity over quality. There was not a single prawn in the dish and it was mainly mashed potato. A very unexciting dish which would be better half the size with a decent number of the stated prawns included and a light mashed potato topping, then I would accept the 'luxury ' designation. Maybe it was just a chefs off day but I expected so much more. In my opinion and just my opinion, the menu with the specials board is just too much for a restaurant this size to cope with.

Great little village pub. The food is traditional and delicious. The welcome as we walked in was lovely and friendly which having just moved to the area went a long way. We hadn't booked a table and managed to get one on a busy Friday evening with a small wait, which didn't matter as we enjoyed a drink at the bar. Gin tonic wasn't served in a gin glass and thats my only gripe but it was busy so could have run out of clean ones my other half had a pint of Cola which he could tell was unbranded so didnt finish it as didnt like the taste. I can't rate the rooms as I haven't seen or stayed. Service at the table was prompt and polite. We'll definitely be back. Thank you for making us feel welcome.
