Fab little inn We called as a family of 8 plus 3 children for a lunch outdoors when passing the Abbey Lodge Inn. What a find. The hosts were excellent as was the food. The menu was extensive with a high quality children's menu. Would definitely visit again if in the area.

My daughter and I popped in to the Abbey Lodge for a light lunch. My daughter had a chicken and bacon salad bowl and I chose the Ploughman’s. I have never in my 51 years ever enjoyed such a perfect lunch. In the old days it was a choice of ham or cheese. This plate came with local stuffed chine and haslet, both of the best I’ve ever tasted. It also came with boiled egg, local artisan cheese, a fresh crisp salad, homemade coleslaw and generous slices of Plum loaf. The extra WOW factor was their amazing, hot, crispy, perfect home made chips! There is no eatery in Woodhall Spa that competes any where near! Any business that takes the time to prepare and cook their own chips (so easy to dip into the freezer) are extremely serious about looking after their diners. Thanks this attention to detail was very evident today, no wonder The Abbey has so many return diners. Well done Team Abbey Lodge, I think it will be the fish and chips next week! read less - Adele35612/06/21

Perfect sunny bank holiday lunch. Just had the most chilled lunch outside at the Abbey Lodge on the new picnic benches. The scenery was beautiful and so relaxing and the food delicious. Perfect service as always. Worth the five minute walk out the busy village for.

In this new world of strange, its comforting to see all the levels of safety in place. Instructions in the door way for track n trace, hand sanitizer and all staff in face shields with tables spaced apart
A drinks order was taken at the table and promptly arrived, and menus explained
Our waitress took our food order, and was polite and professional, and returned with all the condiments and cutlery and a basket of bread
Starters arrived in a timely manner, and looked great. I had the Salt & Pepper Squid, and my wife had the Bharji, both where very tasty
Main course has never let us down here in the 21+ years I've visited, and even with a little mix up with my TBone didn't disappoint. I usually have the fillet but fancied a change this time, so ordered the 16oz TBone, and as ever, the meat was tender and tasty. My wife had the Cajun Chicken which looked good too. Chris has a great butcher I think
I had a dessert, chocolate fondant
Can not recommend this pub enough
Thank you for a lovely night read less - John07/10/20

A couple of drinks later and we ordered from the specials menu and with trepidation ordered the steak and mushroom pie. Some may despair of pies offered in pubs what should be traditional hearty pub fare often presents in a pastry case containing gristly grey meat in an insipid gravy..... NOT SO HERE!!! We were presented with a substantial plate of an an absolutely superb pie, full of lean and tender meat topped by a sumptuous flaky pastry all accompanied by a trio of vegetables and thrice cooked chips.
On food, friendliness and service I can only rate this restaurant as excellent, thank you for making us so welcome and feeding s so very very well ice read less - Jody970106/10/20

On entering the details for completing track and trace information were clear and hand sanitiser available too. We were shown to our table by a really friendly member of staff and given disposable menus. The beer was great as always and I picked food from the specials menu. Walnut battered Brie was one of the best starters I think I have ever had. My husband and son were having difficulty choosing between their favourites on the regular menu and both decided on the gammon which they thoroughly enjoyed. All staff either wearing visors or face masks and willing to help with anything we needed. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening in a safe and friendly atmosphere. Thanks for all your hard work in these challenging times. read less

They all try and pretend to be something they aren't. Well this is a proper pub. It is cosy and comfortable with the fire roaring today. The service was great and friendly. The menu was varied including a good childrens menu. All the food was home cooked - great quality and good size portions. A nice range of ales as well.
We also felt very safe - all the necessary precautions in place for Covid.
We really need to make sure we support these traditional pubs during these difficult times. Well worth a visit. read less - Louise27/09/20
