The Old Wharf Tearooms

Our first visit, recommended by one of my colleague. We stopped for a breakfast. Great location of the tearooms as along the Grantham Canal, perfect stop if you walk or bicycle along the canal. There are plenty seats and table outside where you can enjoy nice views and greedy ducks may keep you company so be careful. If may be busy so make sure there is a table available before ordering. More table available upstairs. Great choice of breakfast and lunch, cold and hot drinks, ice creams and yummi home made cakes, scones and muffins. The staff were very attentive, friendly and helpful. Our breakfast was served within 10 minutes max. Great coffee! The meals were presented in nice way, good one and the portions were decent. I missed a little bit of flavour in smashed avocado, bacon was OK. The bread, sausages and tomatoes were really good. So the food was correct, I missed a little bit of taste twist. The inside decor is nice, and cosy, very clean. Toiles are located outside. What I really like about the place is the wall pictures by local artists you can buy. I am still giving 5 starts with a credit for delicious-looking cakes I am going to try next time as I will definitely be back.

Came here after a circular walk to Colston Bassett and absolutely loved it! Perfect food, served quickly, delicious coffee and cake too!

Came for breakfast as a family of four. Food was excellent, just what we have come to expect. But, today was next level service! On a busy bank holiday Monday, having finished our breakfast, our youngest was excited to feed the ducks (proper duck food)... so excited, that she dropped her cuddly toy in the wharf! Having asked staff if they might have a net or long stick I could use to try and retrieve it, two minutes later two gentleman arrive, one with an extendable barge pole, the other with a long plank... hey presto, toy recovered, child's tears dried, and one of the kind men even offered to go and wash the worst of the canal funk off! Above and beyond! Thank you so much, especially from Megan (and Zoe the snow tiger!)

A cosy place with a great selection of various dishes and desserts. Very nice interiors and surroundings. The service is friendly, and the portions are generous. You order at the counter providing your table number and everything is brought to the table.

Lovely little cafe next to the old Grantham canal. Car park's not very big but there is street parking. Seats inside and out - lovely place to spend a couple of hours. Staff are friendly, service is quick and food is tasty - paninis, sandwiches, jacket spuds, cake. Walk it off along the canal in lovely, peaceful countryside.

Fab place for lunch, especially in the nice weather as it's situated on the canal. Lots of seating in and out. Good choice of cakes, and friendly staff. There is a carpark but it's not that big. Overflow parking on the road. Toilets access from outside.

A great spot for a quiet stop off in the heart of the Belvoir valley. A decent attraction for the village of Hickling with the canal right on the door step and licensed fishing spots. The food looked so nice and tasted even better. We only got round to having coffee and cakes but we found there to be a really good choice. The blueberry muffin tasted like the Costco ones but I’ll let them off because the Crunchie slice was pretty nice We will be visiting again!

Delicious, charming, tasty & relaxed waterside dining. Popped in for a late breakfast on a summer Sunday morning after a lovely stroll along the canal. This place is a total gem and deserves its many plaudits and fine reviews. We opted for a veggie and non-veggie breakfast – which were both stunning and swiftly served. Hard to pick out a highlight as all the components were cooked to perfection and delicious (although I think the eggs were especially perfect!). Drinks were good too – an exceptional range, and special praise here for the mocha coffee which was easily among the best I’ve ever had. Top this with fast, efficient and friendly service and you’re onto a winning combination. All this plus an amazing wharf-side view of the all the wildlife, and a range of uncovered, covered and indoor seating to choose from – what’s not to love?! Thanks to the whole team for a great brunch experience – we shall certainly be back!
