Arrived from 100 miles further north and I had barely got through the door and was immediately greeted with a lovely warm welcome while one of the customers invited me to join them nearer the warm fire. Brilliant !! Tina showed me the menu and the selection was vast - vegetarians and vegans as well as hungry horses like me are all well catered for regarding choices. The food arrived and the plate was massive, everything was fresh and it was absolutely delicious. Tina "insisted" that I should look at the dessert menu and I caved in ... again, lots to choose from and I went for a chocolate sundae. The chocolate flake was huge and, as a chocoholic, I was well pleased. Nicki (the chef) came to join us all for a chat and a delightful evening was had. I seriously do not know where the hours went ! When you find somewhere that has good food, wonderful hosts and NOT in a rush to move you on then you know for definite that you have found the perfect pub. This is such a place. Hoping to return at the earliest opportunity, I need to work my way through that incredible menu :)

Thankyou for the lovely comments. We look forward to seeing you again. Many thanks Nicki and Tina
I fervently maintain that the quality of an establishment's food can be determined by the number of cars in the carpark; the more the cars the better the food as people are keen to visit. The Marquis of Granby in Wellingore has no carpark so nothing to go on but we ploughed on nevertheless. We were welcomed with a cheery smile by the pleasant landlady. We were shown to our table in the restaurant area, in fact we were offered any table as there was no-one else there. This is a reflection perhaps of the times we live in when a country pub is empty at lunchtime on a sunny Friday afternoon in early Summer. The restaurant was clean and tidy with smart, wooden tables and comfortable chairs with houndstooth check upholstery. S Club 7 was playing through the speaker above the bar quickly followed by Madonna. The menu was very comprehensive with the usual choice of ciabattas, sandwiches and jacket potatoes. There was a specials board but I opted for the Spinach Cannelloni in a creamy tomato sauce. Unusually this came with a choice of mashed potato or chips together with peas and carrots. So, apart from the veg it was heavy on the carbs. I chose the mashed potato. The dish would though benefit from a small salad of mixed leaves with perhaps a vinaigrette or French dressing instead of the mash, chips and veg. Mrs Wanderer, by her own admission, was not adventurous and went for the Prawns with Marie-Rose sauce jacket. The food arrived about 15 minutes later so was presumably cooked to order. Mrs Wanderer's jacket came with a surprising amount of prawns, a homemade coleslaw with cheese and a light salad which I think consisted of lettuce, some tomato, cucumber, peppers and onion. It was difficult to see how many cannelloni there were in the sauce but I'm guessing there were three. To be fair the pasta and the sauce were very tasty but the meal was let down by the dry, under seasoned (for my palette) mashed potato. The carrot batons were quite thick but, with the exception of the cannelloni sauce, the meal was dry. On the plus side though both dishes were piping hot and the quantity left neither of us feeling hungry at the end. All-in-all this is a traditional country pub and it serves traditional, simple, no frills meals. Not to everyone's taste perhaps. At a push, if we were in the area, we would return but I wouldn't necessarily make it a destination. Read my other reviews at willoughtonwanderer.blog "Eating my way through life one bite at a time!"
