Tablez in North Kesteven

Nice atmosphere. Staff polite and friendly. Food was ok.

Food was lovely and really tasty.

Lovely place, good food, good service. Turkish night once a month. Outside eating area and verandah. Kitchen visible.

Recommended as a place to go for a breakfast...WOW...the food was great! I had the Egg Royale and my hubby had the Istanbul Eggs and both were amazing. Definitely a welcome change to the normal boring breakfasts we've all come to expect at restaurants. The service was spot on too. I would highly recommend a visit and we are looking forward to returning to try out the evening menu.

Great desserts, really nice drinks, brilliant staff and some familiar faces. The atmosphere was wonderful too. I believe they make all that fine food themselves and they’re really good at it. The service was infinitely good too. 👍

Usually like the place and have been a few times, however today a waiter took us to our table and we waited for over 20 minutes with no service... I would call it abandoned. The restaurant wasnt really busy and other tables were getting served even though they arrived after us. We asked for some service and waited a bit longer and gave up. I expect more from a place with such good reviews, however the final straw is when you walk out of the establishment to see staff standing around like lost sheep.

Wow. Amazing lunchtime food - amongst the best chicken-based salad & 'sandwich' I've eaten, ever. Great flavours, well done and terrific quantity - one salad is almost a sharing plate! Comfy chairs and decent service. Really very good all round. Thanks very much!

What a lovely bistro! We sat inside but noticed there is an outdoor seating area upstairs too. Friendly staff and amazing, tasty food!We visited lunchtime and had mezze 4 (seafood) and a Turkish chicken platter to share. More than plenty for 2! House red was good and we also enjoyed a pot of wild encounter tea. Would love to go again, breakfast choices looked delicious too, including vegan options.

Really great little find next to the church in the centre of town. Tables has some nice outdoor seating in the courtyard and on the 1st floor balcony - great for a sunny morning! Service is good and the coffee is great :)We didn't eat here....but we will - the menu reads very well. We will be back!

Not eaten, literally looked in on my way to catch a train after the Street Food and Artisan Market at Mlllstream Square closed, that was a month ago. Pleasant ambience and very helpful friendly staff.Very impressed by the lever operated espresso machine though it deserves better than catering supply coffee. I suggest try Seven Districts, a local roastery.A month ago, following Street Food and Artisan Market in Millstream Square, I looked in Tablez, admired the lever espresso machine, grabbed a takeaway coffee and headed to catch a train. My coffee was not good and I poured it away. A month later, with more time to spare, I decided to relax outside with a coffee.What size of cappuccino did I want? There is only one size, the correct size.A long wait, I began to wonder had I actually placed an order and was about to leave and head to the station when my coffee arrived.No, do not put chocolate on a cappuccino, or if tempted to, at least ask first. An excellent coffee shop would never dream of asking, for the simple reason they do not put chocolate on a cappuccino, it ruins good coffee. Chocolate is added in a crude attempt to mask bad coffee.I took one sip, it was disgusting, headed for the station. I missed my train, strictly speaking, it failed to turn up, cancelled. I headed back to Tablez, my coffee was still sitting on the table. I took it back in, asked for without chocolate and smaller cup size.Again a long wait. The young guy apologised for the wait and that the coffee was not very good.Why the long wait each time I do not know, as not busy and staff milling around.Looking at the menu on the wall, Tablez clearly take a great pride in their food, sourcing quality, locally, or at least claim so. Why therefore insult customers with cheap low quality catering supply coffee?Something will not get in Sleaford, a decent coffee, and Tablez no exception. For a decent coffee have to head to Lincoln, to either Coffee Aroma or Madame Waffle.But why does it have to be?The ambience in Tablez excellent, very pleasant to sit outside of an evening, why not therefore turn into a specialty coffee shop and bistro, serving speciality coffee, excellent wine, good food and craft beer?Source coffee locally from Seven Districts. Whether they would wish to supply a moot point, they would have to be convinced of the equipment, the baristas.I would emphasise, based on my experience of the coffee and ambience, I have not tried the food.The coffee alone 2*, raised to 3* by pleasant staff and ambience.Badly let down by the coffee, could do better.
