My wife and I booked a table for dinner on Tuesday evening. Although the restaurant obviously wasn't busy we still found it slightly strange that the waitress didn't seem to check our booking before seating us. I had the Buffalo Chicken Wings starter and the Lincolnshire Sausage and Mash main. My wife had just the Hunter's Chicken main. The food was to a good standard however the service we received from our waitress left a lot to be desired. When she delivered the starter she apologised that the drinks had not yet appeared and went to prepare them at the bar. My wife then received the wrong drink and had to return it to the bar to be replaced - something the waitress didn't seem too happy about. Each time the waitress delivered an item to the table we would thank her, but she always seemed to have already turned away from us. In fact she was often looking elsewhere as she placed the item on the table. Stranger still, when she came to ask how our meal was, she didn't wait for the reply even though it came quite rapidly and was positive. A couple of times other members of staff came to our table. They were friendly and efficient. Our waitress seemed to be friendlier to another table. We can only assume she knew them. Either that or she thought we had done something wrong, but I can't think what. In summary, the food was good, but the service was indifferent and not particularly welcoming.

Friendly welcoming staff, food is lovely as is the atmosphere, well done all we will be returning.

On Friday 8th September 2023 we was able to have a 50 years Service in the NHS for Andrea Rushby held at Ellenders We decided to use Ellenders for the venue solely because of Sonia! Sonia is the sole and face of Ellenders she is always so helpful and enthusiastic, we all thought she was the Manager because of her passion for Ellenders. Sonia ensured the area was set up to perfection, making Andreas night so special. Sonia, thank you so so much for all your help, attention to detail and professionalism The menu and food was outstanding thank you Tom Hall amazing chef and handsome.

Excellent lunch on Wednesday. Food was perfectly cooked. Was very good value for money.

Visited for curry night. We tried 3 curries. We didn’t eat any of them. The meat in all three was very unpleasant and none of them resembled their title. The goat curry had no flavour at all, a little heat and the meat was chewy and very unpleasant. Such a shame because that’s what we went for. My friend tried a chicken curry, which was supposed to be on the bone but was so over cooked, it was just shreds of chicken. I had the beef rendang. I make a good beef rendang. This did not resemble one. We did see the lamb curry being served as we were leaving and that actually looked like a curry! So all in all, very disappointing . It was our first visit, so probably won’t visit again.

The waiting time was a while even though we’d booked a table. We thought it was a bit misleading that it said 3 courses for £16.95 when it was for a starter and two mains, which all came out together, so when it got round to eating the main they were getting cold. My friend had to send her cocktail back because it was like drinking pure alcohol. So all in all wouldn’t rush back. The waitresses were lovely though.

Staff were incredibly attentive and kind. Reasonably priced, great tasting food. The restaurant was immaculate.

We came as a party of 10 last night (been a few times before). I can't ever understand why Ellenders isn't busier as once again it was a really lovely meal. The only thing a couple of our party noticed was the chips being a bit warm instead of hot but other than that the servers were lovely and the food was great.

Excellent meal at Ellenders , Friday fish deal was value for money and very nice.

Amazing food, great choice, gluten free was delicious, lovely place

First visit what a great meal and value for money and the staff was very attentive definitely going again Keep up the good work

Communication with Karen, fantastic from the first call, large booking of 27, food and service was brilliant. We weren’t rushed at all and ended up staying the whole evening. Keep up the great work, many thanks for a great evening for my wife’s 50th birthday

Customer Service outstanding. We had turkey & ham pie x 2, Lincolnshire sausage sandwich and fish & chips. My only comment is that the fish was off white in colour and didn’t taste as fresh as I would like it to be. I did wonder if it had been kept warm too long before service. However, apart from that everything was absolutely fine.

Fabulous meal with the wife and parents. We ordered Sausage and onion pie x2, Hunters Chicken, and Fish and Chips. The food was of great quality and good portion sizes. For desserts we had Belgian Waffles x2, Sticky Toffee Pudding, Trio of ice cream. Lovely atmosphere, attentive staff. Love visiting to eat here.

Great location for a lunch meeting. Sandwiches were great and service was pleasant and attentive without being obtrusive. Will use again.
