Set in the peaceful Lincolnshire village of South Rauceby, just a couple of miles from Sleaford, The Bustard Inn is a beautiful Grade II listed Victorian building. It was sympathetically restored and renovated in 2007, emphasising the buildingâs original

Our friends invited us to the Bustard one weekend evening. It was fairly busy, but not full and we had a table in the bar, big mistake. The noise from the one or two locals at the bar screaming over each other was uncomfortable. I could not hear the conversation from the lady sitting next to me but hear every word from a loud individual shouting across the pub for well over an hour. After our dinner we went to the quieter snug area for some coffee and explained to waitress why we had moved, we couldnât hear ourselves think in the bar. She said they were regulars and usually the same, pity as it spoilt had our enjoyment. I could see the couple on next table struggling with the noise too. Starters were fairly nice although 2 of us had a £14 starter that was quite expensive for 2 scallops I thought. Following that there was nothing on the main course menu I liked the look of, I struggled to choose but settled on chilli, not really quality pub food more diner or cafe. And it was it wasnât even that nice, it had a mushy texture that smacked of being a little bit old and reheated. My husbands fish and chips he said was OK although the chips looked anaemic and he said they tasted under cooked. All in all a pleasant evening due to our friends lovely company rather than the food and at £150 for 4 it was an expensive meal out.A nice polite young lady served us but whilst I enjoy a relaxed informal experience I do so hate at my age being referred to as âguysâ, not just the once but over and over, can I get âyou guysâ anything? How you guys doing? Grrrrrrr by the end of the evening she got too much!

Needed somewhere to relax and chat over breakfast with my son. The fact that heâs a discerning head chef required somewhere a little more up market. Because it was a Saturday morning, I booked a table and was so surprised that it was empty. We sat in the courtyard and has an amazing breakfast. Fresh produce, freshly prepared and plenty of it, served on a slate plate. We noticed a varied menu and the chef explained it can get busy in the evenings but for a quiet quality meal with my lad, this was simply perfect. Thank you to the lady who served us and the agency chef who produced a fabulous meal for us.
