The story
Magpies Restaurant with Rooms in Horncastle serves refined British and European cooking within a family-run setting. The kitchen holds two AA Rosettes for culinary excellence, a recognition maintained for nearly two decades. Diners navigate an individually priced menu featuring seven selections per course, with vegetarian options alongside seasonal mains.
The dining room occupies a row of two hundred year old cottages on East Street. This conservation area places the venue firmly inside the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The surrounding market town operates as a recognised antique centre, while the kitchen continues to develop its British and European plates around local produce. The aged brickwork preserves a traditional English streetscape.
Three named bedrooms extend the stay beyond the dinner service. The Pink, Purple, and Gold rooms feature elegant furnishings paired with large modern shower rooms or bathtubs. The property maintains a Booking.com rating of nine point five alongside a five star assessment from the Automobile Association. Guests frequently secure packages that combine overnight rest with a cooked breakfast and carefully composed regional British cuisine.
