Sunnyside Up - West Lindsey

Although we go to market rasen on a regular basis we have never been here before but having tried the cafe with its outside area we will certainly go again. We are relatively covid cautious and continue to choose cafés with outside areas like this one. Staff all wearing masks, doors open for ventilation have a good impression. Coffee and scones ordered and brought to our table, lots of space inside and out. Lovely views of the surrounding area. Staff friendly. Altogether a pleasant experience. Farm shop has meats, cheeses, ice cream and other produce however is only small, we did buy lincolnshire poacher cheese which we love but can't get where we live. Give it a go. Support a local business.

I made a special trip to purchase some wine. They were advertised as my nearest stockist. It was 40-45minute round trip on a sunday morning. Thier website listed them as open 10am to 4pm on sundays. I arrived at 1015 and the sign at the entrace states open 9am to 10pm on sundays (March to October). I tried to visit in June. The place was all shut up and no sign of anyone. Briliant way to waste nearly an hour of my sunday morning. I wont be bothering to go back again. Ill order from someone else online. No wonder shops are shutting down.

This is a combo of two visits. I brought my family here in August 2019 for my daughter’s birthday and almost no one in our six person party could find anything that they liked to eat. I put aside my concerns about a month ago to visit again as it was half way between my home and a friend. Service was perfunctory and we watched a number of potential customers turned away as too late to be served an hour earlier than was advertised on the website. Dreadful. And before the owner asks why we didn't complain at the time, it’s hard to complain when the staff are absent and we were left sitting outside with no interaction.

This was a very inexpensive visit. Arrived at 12-30. Ignored by the waitress whilst she faffed with paperwork. After trying to take an order from a customer, it dawned that there were a lot of people waiting to order. Taking decisive action she called for her colleague who was having lunch upstairs. We decided to leave and doshopping on the way out! Guess what, noone there.

Nice stopping off point after visiting Lincoln or Market Rasen Rases. Useful for coffee and cake or even home made soup. Veg side not always great but great meat produce supplied by proper butcher. Unusual food and wine available plus chocolates and novelties. Always find something different at Christmas. Well worth a look.
