Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

As a regular customer of The Advocate, I have to say that the staff are always welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. I regularly visit for coffee and occasionally come for breakfast or an evening meal. The salmon with winter ratatouille is highly recommended...and if you fancy treating yourself, the Afternoon Tea is amazing! The Advocate is the go to place for fantastic coffee or for something filling!More

Three of us ate here today and enjoyed our lunch very much. I’d have been a touch happier if a pint of bitter had been available but recognise that it’s a dying product. I ordered the pheasant with mash and broccoli and it was very...good indeed. The sauce complemented the meat very well and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. This time of the year I pick up pheasants and partridges at a local shoot and it’s great to see a chef not only conscious of the season but putting game on the menu. Well done. 👏 The lady who manages the restaurant always does such a great job.More

I recently visited this hotel for the first time with my sister & a friend. We'd booked for afternoon tea & had a lovely experience. The young man who greeted & served us was very friendly & helpful. Having perused the menu in advance, I'd...contacted the hotel to ask if I could ditch the egg sandwich & double up on one of the other fillings. They swiftly responded to say this wasn't a problem & I was more than happy to be given 2 coronation chicken sandwiches, in addition to the cheese + home made chutney one, on the day. All of the afternoon tea components (both savoury & sweet) were exceptionally tasty. We also had a couple of hot drinks each - you could select anything off the menu, not just plain tea or coffee (I tried a mocha). We spent a leisurely few hours tucking into all the offerings & thought the afternoon tea was very good value for money. I shall most definitely visit the hotel again, both for another afternoon tea & also to sample the rest of their menu.More

From first arriving the staff very friendly and helpful. The food was fabulous, a great choice. Stayed 2 nights. The room was spacious, clean and lots of toiletress. The only problem was trying to find some where to park. We did find a space eventually...in the Market square. All in all a good place to stay.More

Had breakfast and dinner on two consecutive nights whilst staying at the hotel. The food was first class. Breakfasts were made with quality produce, cooked to perfection. Dinner - can totally recommend the home made pies, the beef blade and the onion breadcrumb Brie starter...and berry compote dessert. Best meals we have had in a long time.More

We came for Sunday lunch yesterday with our children and food was absolutely fantastic. Very tasty and piping hot. Nothing was too much trouble and we weren't rushed. Great choice of food and every time we eat here we have a fantastic meal. The fish...and chips I have had a number of times and its the best in the area. Beautifully decorated bar and restaurant, everything is spotlessly clean and the staff are lovely. We will be visiting again soon.More

We used to come here frequently, often bringing friends and family in the knowledge that the food would always be of good quality. Last Sunday was our first visit since Covid and how things have changed! The food was barely edible. Vegetables were literally swimming...in a pool of water and were completely tasteless. So too, the rest of the food was insipid in the extreme - bland and without flavour. Market Rasen has lost its only good eating place!More

We enjoyed the seafood tapas evening very much, with some tasty and innovative dishes served. The highlights were the mussels (the sauce was excellent) and the spicy king prawn dish. I can’t think of a solution to the problem but my only gripe is about...serving three hot dishes simultaneously because however quickly you eat, the last one’s going to be close to cold. There was a small issue with one dish and the waiter (tall, young fella) deserves a lot of praise for the doors with which he sorted it, his manner and politeness. Would certainly return for this type of evening.More

Me and my wife came for a night away on a rare night we where child free. We had a brilliant stay and couldn’t recommend this place enough. We arrived and parked across the road with free parking nearly at the front door. Upon looking...at the hotel from the outside we both immediately thought it looked a little run down and a bit shabby. This was NOT the case from the second you walk in the front door the decor is classy and elegant and has a very nice vibe and all the staff where very welcoming. We stayed in a superior king room and the room itself was absolutely massive and again very nicely decorated couldn’t of asked for more. The shower was brilliant with a bath. The bed was super comfy and huge there was also some complimentary coffee and hot chocolate which was lovely. We had opted for the option upon booking which was superior king room breakfast and dinner and we are so glad we did the food was absolutely beautiful the scotch eggs for starter was to die for and the tomato chutney was incredible. For mains we had the belly pork which again was as 10/10 couldn’t of asked for better. We also ordered a fish pie which in all honesty I regretted ordering because my partners belly pork blew it out of the park however it was still nice. The deserts was absolutely the best part of the stay they was incredible worth the money alone we had the sticky toffee pudding which partner has absolutely everywhere we go and she said it was her favourite ever so that is high praise! I had the lemon tart and it was quite possibly the perfect dessert I wouldn’t of changed a thing! Another side note the cocktails where fantastic and a good choice of larger on tap to. Never waiting for drink the staff were supper attentive and was always there to bring another to us. Thank you for a brilliant night away and we shall be back soon that’s for sure!More

Hi Karen, Unfortunately we do not allow dogs inside the building. We have a decking area outside which is canine friendly. (obviously this doesn't work if you're planning to stay over)
