The aim of my visit was to try out the Sunday carvery now on offer at the Seven Lakes site at Ealand, near Crowle, North Lincolnshire, along with an extensive menu throughout the rest of the week, and it did not disappoint.
There are three sizes of plates on offer, kids’ at £8.95, standard at £15.95 and large at £17.95.
Meats that day were pork, gammon and beef, which, between myself and partner we tried all of, and it was all melt in your mouth delicious.
Choice of veg was peas, green beans, roasties, mash, carrots, along with stuffing nand giant Yorkshire puddings. You can also pay extra for cauliflower cheese but our plates were full enough without adding more!
You can spruce up your meal with a selection of sauces, including mint and horseradish and lashings of gravy – northern girls love gravy, especially this gravy!
The dessert menu had classics such as sticky toffee pudding and sharing ice cream and brownie dishes but foolishly we didn’t leave enough room to try them – next time.
The venue itself has seen a massive transformation since my last visit which was in the early 2000s I would say.
The bar and dining area is spacious, airy, and comfortable, and there are several different areas where you can take a pew.
Facilities include electronic darts, giant Connect 4, activites on the lake itself, such as jet skiing, and there are ginormous TV screens inside and out for all you sports fans – great for the World Cup.
I spoke to Manager Richard Allsop-Dent who said there were 450 covers inside the building and 250 outside and there were plans for a pool and an area near to the lake for comfy chairs and firepits for those colder days.
There are a lot of holiday homes on site, some private, some for rental, but the bar and restaurant are open to members of the public, and if you’re in the area you must give it a visit.
