The Five Bells in North Kesteven

Visited several times now. Food and service has been fantastic. Steaks are cooked to perfection and taste so good, you can tell they use quality ingredients. Decor is very quirky and fun reminds me of a old school pub with all the decor. If you want good food cone here, advise to book as gets very busy.

Wonderful food. Really honest friendly service, they always make you feel really welcome. And pretty good prices for the quality of food served. Used to visit the Royal Oak at Auburn but as that has gone downhill and seems to be getting worse, this place only seems to get better.

April 2022 Update: they have added snacks to their menu. We tried the vegan milkshake and was fabulous -------- This pub is different to the rest of pubs in this area. It has a unique decoration, with weeds, birds, cooper items, etc. The kitchen is also quite exceptional. They do prepare classic dishes and others more creative but all are normally really really nice. The staff is also nice and polity and prices are fair. Booking is advisable as they are quite popular, which doesn't surprise me at all

Lovely friendly pub! Solo female traveller, they made sure I was well looked after and the haddock and chips were legitimately some of the best I've ever had

Absolutely adore this pub.The decor is a little mad but it's a beautiful building with a cosy setting. The menu is regularly updated and the food is delicious every time. The staff are well-trained and the host, Mark, is incredibly accommodating for those wanting to tweak/change any components of a dish (such as for a picky vegetarian like myself).Really good variety of vegan and vegetarian options, all with good-sized portions and fair prices.Highly recommend.

Excellent service and welcome. Staff very accommodating, professional and friendly. Cosy surroundings. Good food and great cocktails. Also do a vegan and vegetarian menu. Plenty of rustic seating and tables inside and undercover outside area. Perfect opening hours for food and drinks to fit around your day.

A very friendly pub. We have had lots of birthday meals here over the years.Today was no exception excellent food yet again We have never had a bad meal.The service was brilliant attention given to our younger dinners who really enjoyed it.Lots of love, laughter , family celebrating 🍾 our mothers 87th birthday . Thank you she loved it!

Absolutely love this place. It was highly recommended to us by a good friend and he was so right! Today we went for our second time and we took my nine week old baby with us. We couldn't have been made to feel anymore welcome. Super friendly staff made us feel completely at ease and couldn't have been more helpful. They even offered to replace my cup of coffee if it had gone cold when I'd been a while changing the baby's nappy. We'll definitely be becoming regulars!

We turned up without booking whilst holidaying nearby, having read good reviews on here.Seemed a great atmosphere inside as soon we walked in and ensured we had plenty of space for a toddler offering a good selection of beers and great choice on the menu.Unfortunately we had to leave shortly after ordering dinner due to an illness but the staff were very helpful to ensure we were ok and were able to cancel one meal and pack the rest up for takeaway, even discounting the bill.The waiter was very helpful and the dinner when we got home was excellent.Just feel guilty that we neglected to tip the excellent service after leaving in a hurry.

I wish I had taken photos of what we all ordered, but the food looked and tasted so good we just couldn't wait. It was absolutely beautiful. A beautiful pub and staff are very helpful and friendly. A really warm atmosphere. Just the perfect place for a Birthday treat.
