Ye Olde Abbey — Restaurant in South Holland

Fabulous Sunday Lunch! We visited several times with friends and on family occasions. Always good service - laid back style - fabulous lunch with lots of freshly cooked meat, Yorkshire pudding crisp and dry and enormous, beautifully cooked extra veg huge variety. A lovely lunch. We went recently after a busy Sunday cooking for our local Fun Run from 8-1.30. Very tired so looking forward to our Sunday lunch here. My order a blush rose dry please arrived and looked too pink to be dry as I like it and as I recall my last glass here. I sipped and sure enough too sweet for me. Returning the drink to the bar was reassured this was the usual dry rose. But after saying I could not drink it due to being too sweet was asked what I'd like instead. I asked for Chardonnay. Some time later the lady came and said the manager could not replace the drink as I had tasted it!!!!? How would I know it was too sweet without tasting??? We were told we had to pay for the drink. We sat a while and decided we could not continue with our lunch booking with this attitude. My husband went to the bar and paid the bill expressing we would not want lunch. The lady seemed shocked. We left and went elsewhere. We had made enquiries to bring a party of 20 from our ladies club. This will now not go ahead. So disappointing! A glass of wine causes the loss of a minimum of 22 lunches....

Myself and my partner sampled the take away roast dinner with a dessert each from this pub having never eaten here before. The food was second to none! It came pre prepared with simple instructions to follow to heat through for 20 minutes in the oven so you knew that when it came to plating up your meal it was lovely and hot. Whilst there are establishments out there where you take your meal home and plate up straight away I was more than happy to wait whilst my food was “finished off” in the oven for 20 minutes in exchange for hot food. To say I was impressed with the quality of our food was an understatement- it was reasonably priced, fresh, delicious and not to mention very generous portion sizes! This was a much needed lockdown treat and we will certainly be sampling out the pubs food again whether it’s another takeaway roast or (in the future when it’s safe to do so) a...

We chose Ye Olde Abbey to be the venue for the wake of the funeral of my father-in-law. Ye Olde Abbey is perfectly located, only 1 minute walk from Crowland abbey and its graveyard so very easy for guests to move between the two locations. We were really delighted with the service we received from Stacy and Dean. We were able to select exactly which types of food we wanted. The portions were very generous and the food tasted great. They were also very accomodating with special dietary requirements and allowed us to use the dining area for as long as we needed.

We would highly recommend...
