The Stage - Menu

We often meet for breakfast here and when we turned up we’re surprised to find the lovely cook to order menu had been replaced by an awful buffet breakfast.

We r locals who drink and eat regularly up the stage . Sunday roast today woz outstanding very enjoyable . Much prefer havin the food plated up rather than the carvery Keep it plated

I really like The Stage for drinks, there is a nice cosy atmosphere. I have had food there a few times and each meal has been disappointing, the bao buns I had were a bit dry and not very tasty, same for the burger.

The food was exceptional. My husband had the gammon really well prepared. I had 3 tapas items more than I could manage and delicious . I was not expecting that! Beautifully presented, tasted great and our waitress was wonderful. We will be back.

Visited restaurant last night with family . Very disappointed quality of food not worth the amount charged . Sauce with chicken very bland chicken over cooked. Apple pie pastry raw , vanilla ice cream inedible both items sent back . A real shame as I know this place used to be so good before lockdown. Will think twice before we return.

Not been in the Stage for over 10 years but the food was very good and the cask beer was too. The music was a bit too loud for us for a lunchtime but all tastes need catering for. Ordering was a slow process at the bar due to the loud music but we got there and my steak, onion and mushroom ciabatta was very good. My partner had a plain jacket potato but it was the best she'd had for a long time. Will probably call again if in the area.

I visited today with my parents and my 2 children. I called on thee off chance they could fit us in for lunch at 1pm,I spoke to a very polite young man who booked us in. Upon arrival, we completed the necessary track and trace forms, hand sanitiser was also available. Tables were spaced out,complying with social distancing. We were seated in the restaurant which was pleasant, plenty of room. We had 5 main meals,steak, hickory chicken x 2, a chicken burger and fish and chips,5 pints of orange and lemonade and 2 pineapple juices, the meals were lovely, cooked to perfection. The orange juice was very good too!! Even though they were busy we didn't have to wait long which I was surprised at. The...

Visited Friday afternoon via the side garden gate so we could sit outside. Lots of tables were full of empty glasses, trays and crockery. We cleared the table we chose and put dirty glasses and tray on adjacent table which already had at several other trays on it full of dirty glasses. Went into pub to order drinks. There was no screen between bar staff and Customers. I requested cleaning cloth to wipe our table once we ordered our drink and was advised a Staff member will come and do it. No one came the whole time we were there. Government guidelines advise all tables and chairs to be wiped down after every customer. However no one had been anywhere near the tables for hours due to the pile...

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 kn...
