Reviews The Ugly Duckling Restaurant At Caistor Lakes

This is my first visit to the restaurant, I visited here with my friend, I took her for afternoon tea for her birthday. We also took her little one with us. Afternoon tea was booked and paid in advance, As this s the requirement for afternoon tea. The staff where welcoming upon arrival, and extremely polite, the restaurant was warm cosy and clean, you could also smell the food cooking. We were seated to our reserved table, the waiter came to our table and gave us menus, so we could select drinks. My friend ordered a latte, I just had tea. The waiter took our menus away, the lady in the restaurant fetched another menu, to order little ones food from. She had chicken nuggets and potato tots, when her food came out I was shocked by the quality, freshly made food, not processed like you get elsewhere. Our afternoon tea was big, I was super happy that there was more savory available on it, so many places do too much sweet. The afternoon tea consisted of sandwiches, tuna cucumber,tuna mayo, chicken with mayo. Vegetable quiche, mini pasty, Yummy soup. Also a little pot of gherkins and cheese so much better than the mundane side salad. On the next tier where cakes, that consisted of brownie, Victoria sponge, I think trifle although taste was a mix of trifle and eton mess. Top tier had scones , 1 plain 1 fruit, jam, and cream for each one. The food was tasty and very filling, the brownie was lush and tasted like chocolate ganache. The scone was quite savory and you could taste the salt in it, I only add a little cream, and not jam as I don't like it on scones really, but that's just a preference. I liked everything I ate apart from the quiche, again that's just preference my friend enjoyed here's too. All together the cost was about £41.00. The afternoon teas are, £14.95 each. I would definitely visit again in the future. The staff are lovely and the food is quality. This restaurant is worth a visit.

Beautiful place. Food was amazing - compliments for chefs! :) Great service , well done Josh and Amy ! :)

Had lunch for four in the restaurant, but best of all was the delivery to the on site lodges. Allowed me to have a lovely meal in the comfort of my on site lodge. As there are now small portion options it was perfect for me. I cannot manage large meals any more. As it was cost effective I was able to order lunch and/or evening meal as well, every day for the 7 days we were here, with no repetition of food. Lovely food, great service.

Just came back from breakfast. Lovely. Service and staff very good. Staying in our motorhome, it is the best place we have stayed in so far. Great facilities, WiFi. You have to pay £25 when you arrive. £5 for gate fob which you get back when you leave. Electric comes off the £20. Last time we stayed, we only paid £3.80 in electric during our 3 night 4 day stay.

Great food although portions a bit large, however they do offer smaller portions. A vast menu of both drinks and food.lovely cakes.
