The Cross Swords Inn in South Kesteven

Nice village pub, good prices. Not tried the food but am sure is a good excellent

Great pup landlady looked after us food was great can't wait to go there again cheers

Nice little place. Stayed in one of their letting rooms on a Saturday night. Arrived too late to try the bar or restaurant which were closed by 8pm.

Food was tasty, but quite small portions. Very noisy inside. We were sat in the centre and the groups either side of us were shouting to each other to make themselves heard.

We had booked a room for one night, a few days before I emailed to see if we could book a table for dinner, unfortunately we were told they could only prepare something cold as they were having a 'day off' seemed strange for a Saturday night in August.Check in was straight forward. The room was clean and of decent size for one night with a mini fridge with 2 bottles of water in and tea and coffee making facilities.We went out for a walk round the village with our dog and planned to pop in the pub for a drink but it was closed! It was only 6.45pm.If we had know all this information we probably wouldn't have booked the room. It's such a shame as my partner, who popped in to the pub on arrival to check in, said the pub was really cute.This place could be a little goldmine and community hub, maybe it is and they don't need the business 🤔

Just caught a great vibe here in Skillington after the CLRG weekend at Lower Farm. Beautiful village with a quintessential community spirited country pub. Welcoming to a thirsty, travelling stranger....thank you guys.x

Thank you Charlotte and Gary for welcoming us in to your new pub. The home made food was outstanding and the hospitality was exceptional. Lovely friendly village pub with bed and breakfast will definitely return. We will highly recommend to friends and family. Thank you again Gail and Paul :)

We arrived as the kitchen was closing, so the chef offered paninis and hand-cooked (twice cooked) chips, both of which were exceptional. The chips, in particular, were the best we've ever had. The new owner was highly welcoming and accommodating and we are certainly encouraged to make a return visit.

What a fantastic little place to visit. The hosts are very welcoming and the chef was incredible. My partner ordered the Homemade soup and unfortunately I am a picky eater when eating out but the chef was more than capable to catering for my needs. He cooked a delicious chicken curry with the spice to suit. He even brought out a small sample for me to test before he had finished which was brilliant customer service and it truly showed that they simply care about their customers.The soup my partner had she said was the best she had ever tasted! (even better then Heinz tinned soup) all at a very reasonable price.Situated in a small village surrounded by beautiful countryside it is surely a hidden gem and well worth a visit!

The staff make you feel like your at home with friends, it's so warm and welcoming. The food is excellent, a member of our group is a celiac and vegetarian and the chef took a great deal of care and time in creating not only safe food but something different and interesting. It's a true dining experience it's not an in and out pub dinner. I cannot thank them enough for a great time.
