"An early January visit to the Upper Deck East in Peterborough with the wife and daughter. This part time show vegan, his delightful part time pescatarian and spice suspicious full time carnivore all ate handsomely. Starters were all perfectly executed and presented by friendly and helpful staff, before being devoured in a table staining show of force by family Butler. Tempura vegetables, sweetcorn croquettes and steamed dumplings I seem to remember but they were eaten so swiftly it's hard to recall with certainty absolutely delicious!! Mains Szechuan prawn for the boss, Singapore vegetable curry for the bill payer and duck pancakes for the daughter with increasingly expensive taste (I blame the mother . After a blissfully short discussion around the potential to share dishes, it was decided that the show vegan would not be sharing any of his dish for just Rice and Spring Onions!. We tucked into our meals initially with the provided chopsticks....this lasted just seconds before each of our taste buds decided that much larger quantities were required from each mouthful and they were discarded for the biggest spoons available. Each meal was delicious and demolished in a frenzy of plum sauce (to die for , curry sauce and noodle soaked pleasure. The delightful eating experience only briefly interrupted by the spectacular flambéing of a Volcano chicken on the table next to us. A brief scientific discussion followed around how close the daughter could get for the Insta photo before hairspray proximity would leave Dad with £250 on you've been framed. I swear the boat listed (it didn't! under the sheer triumph of eating leaving all 3 of us with no space for pudding. We disembarked to leave the staff surprised by the unusual rocking of the boat at the weight shift as we left (again didn't and doesn't! and flabbergasted by the speed at which they were able turn round the table for the next guests. Can't rate these guys highly enough... 5 stars! Be back again soon."

"Having just moved to Market Deeping we thought we would try the Stage for something to eat having been in here a few times for drinks and enjoyed our experience. This experience was not enjoyable and we most definitely will not return. Having worked in the hospitality trade and being a landlady I get that when it’s busy things can go wrong and you can run out of food but to order with the ‘manager’ to then be told they have run out is a little poor, but that was only the start. The waitress couldn’t pronounce the wines, clearly a training issue, and when our mains were brought out onion rings went all over the place and never replaced. Not a great impression but when it came to paying and knowing full well we had been over charged and being told by the ‘manager’ we are unable to see the receipt this topped off the whole experience. We were told that because the discount had been taken off we couldn’t see a receipt....what utter rubbish. I know full well how these tills work! After no apology from the ‘manager’ even though she’d been apologising to everyone else the whole time we were in there we finally got back what was owed us, by cash as she couldn’t do a refund on card....again rubbish! I was so disappointed with this whole experience as I said at the start we’ve been in for drinks and had a great experience, it really is such a shame."

"We are only occasional diners at this hotel and it is nearly a year since we were last there. This time round we were there for a large celebration Sunday lunch, booked well in advance. Firstly we were in the bar for a pre lunch drink. Their drink prices are high and their service abysmal! The poor chap behind the bar was in the wrong job. He took forever with the order and got much of it wrong. The service was so bad we were giggling at it. It would have made a tremendous comedy film! We moved to the dining room. They were not exactly rushed, with only our table occupied and one other of two people. There were four main course choices, but one (the duck was crossed out saying sold out . Bear in mind that this menu was the special Sunday lunch menu and we were the first in the dining room! After eventual ordering we waited an age for the first courses, two of which had to be returned to the kitchen as being the wrong items. We then had to wait an age for the main course, which was brought out in dribs and drabs, and again at least two had to be returned to the kitchen to be changed. Then, again a very long wait, during which three of our party had to leave without their dessert to attend another event (well we had been at lunch for nearly three hours by then thanks to poor service! After serving each course the few staff would all disappear and no one was available to deal with any queries. Eventually tea and coffee was served, and the waiter threw a few sugars round the table with a few wooden sticks which were apparently in place of spoons (no thought of putting them into a bowl . Such was the service. The problem is obvious to see ill trained, unsupervised staff. The food was generally good and was let down by poor service and incorrectly recorded orders, and in the kitchen by inadequate ordering of menu items and cool plates. As things stand, I would not chose to eat here again."
