Food scene
The Olive Branch in Clipsham is an award winning pub. 20 minutes north on the A1 you’ll find a charming village pub with great quality food. If you have a driver, might be a great starting point before heading into Stamford for drinks. My pick of the bunch.

This ancient coaching inn is the most talked about restaurant in Stamford. The garden rooms don’t require a reservations and there are lots of lounges and a champagne bar while you wait for a table. Very traditional and maybe a good option for afternoon tea in the courtyard.

Another village pub in a neighbouring village. A five minute drive away, you’ll find gourmet cuisine set in a charming thatched cottage. Another favourite of mine.

The Falcon Fotheringhay is a 5 or 10 minute journey away. Average food in a cute village and nice beer garden overlooking a church stooped in history.

The Haycock hotel is due to open on the 22nd June. It’s walking distance from the house and will host Prevost, a Michelin restaurant which is good. That said, as the refurbishment is ongoing, I’m unable to recommend. I’ll certainly be trying it out before your visit.

The Crown in Stamford has a lovely courtyard. The food is fine but certainly not of the standard of the Chubby Castor or The Olive branch. Great atmosphere for drinks and family friendly.
