Reeds Coffee Shop — Restaurant in West Lindsey

Usually a great place to visit, however we've had 2 very disappointing experiences in the last couple of months. On one occasion service was very slow due to a large number of customers coming on a walk in. The coffee shop was already very full with seating inside and outside in the garden full, and a large group of 20 came and wanted to sit and eat outside on the Riverside for lunch- there are possibly too many tables for the stretched staff to serve. There was a good 30 minute wait for food already.

The second time was very disappointing, firstly one of our party was served the wrong drink, then upon our food arriving we were given the wrong food, our party had ordered toasted sandwiches, the cheese and pickle sandwich was mixed up with the ham, cheese and pickle. Food was staggered so half the party started to eat so it wouldn't go cold. Upon the second half arriving, we realised that the food had been mixed up, instead of remaking the food which was wrong - I did say, don't worry just make me another one as the person with my food had started eating, instead the plates were swapped by the waitress- so I was given half eaten food and the issue considered resolved.

Very disappointing and I'm likely to not visit again...

A pleasant cafe / coffee shop. Set by the river side; very pleasant and peaceful. Menu is fair and prices reasonable. Despite a quiet time, service was too slow for simple food (10-15mins to take the order ) but very cheerful staff, although no greeting on entering and had to seat ourselves. Ploughmans Lunch had a large piece of good pork pie and 180G of indifferent cheese. Way too much; should be smaller portion of better quality, and a Lincolnshire cheese would have really cut the mustard. Sorry that there were no scones on the menu.These are easy to do, even homemade ones, and can quickly be warmed from frozen. Since their tea was really excellent (leaf tea in a pot) it seemed a shame that the traditional combo of scones and tea was...

I had a lovely breakfast at Reeds on Sunday morning, situated on the banks of the river Trent. I ordered a breakfast baguette, which comes stuffed with sausage, bacon, mushrooms, egg (scrambled)and a topping of cheese. This service with a fresh, strong, black coffee was the perfect to start the day. My wife was slightly less impressed with her order of eggs Benedict (muffin topped with bacon (?) poached egg and a side serving of hollandaise) due to the sauce which seemed closer to béchamel than hollandaise. Overall a he said jt was ‘Ok’. Reeds has friendly staff, a lovely bright atmosphere and very clean and well maintained unisex toilet facilities...
