Last Thursday we had heard about a lovely place to eat in Woodhall Spa, on arrival we were welcomed in by one of the lovely staff. We were seated and given time to choose from the menu without hassle. I ordered a big bomber breakfast (you have to be hungry) the produce was local and everything cooked perfect, what a breakfast it was i would recommend to anyone, they do a smaller breakfast if you want. My partner had a pannini with a side of chip's also a lovely meal. There was a lovely seating area outside for when the weather gets better. In a nutshell I would definitely recommend going hear for a meal, staff were brilliant and really lovely place to eat, with canal walk close by and Woodhall spa ready to explore. Thank you to The Ragged Apron Cafe.

Everything was fantastic on the plate Great food Great staff Brilliant price Fantastic atmosphere I will return for a Sunday roast
Went for the first time today. All staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. They took our order and the drinks came out swiftly and it wasn't a long wait at all for the food. And the food was very yummy and reasonably priced! I had the Breakfast (6) and my other half had The Big Bomber Breakfast (11).
My wife and I called in for a coffee and snack this morning during a planned ride on the Lincolnshire Water Rail Way cycle route. The service and greeting were excellent and the panini was gorgeous. Good coffee, all at a very reasonable price. Excellent cafe for all manner of occasions, highly recommend keep up the good work, we will be back Ian & Yvonne
Visited with 16 Bikes 27 people on Friday 4/7/25, unannounced, they couldn’t be more helpful. Sat is all down on a few tables & got round to serving us all well within an hour with Great Value Food & a Smile on their faces. Such a fantastic welcome, sadly lacking at some establishments these days. Would highly recommend.
Booked for Sunday diner via Facebook messenger received confirmation very quickly. Very good choice of meats the usual beef,chicken pork I think. The food was well presented and tasted great the beef a nice bit of Salmon cut Silverside that I think is the best cut of beef for a Sunday dinner was slowly cooked and you could tell. Plenty of veg that came separately all in all if I was in the area again we would definitely be back and we also did go back for a spot of brunch on another day and took up on there choice of specials that start at 11:30 every day.
We just had sunday dinner at The Ragged Apron, after seeing this place on many videos, we wanted to go and try for ourselves. We had the Fathers Day Lunch, 2 course meal each, my partner had a starter, prawn cocktail then Roast Beef dinner, I had Roast pork dinner then chocolate gateaux for dessert. Amazing meal, excellant quality food & good prices, all the staff were very friendly and would highly recommend this place, easy to find just beyond the centre of Woodhall Spa. We will return as we would like to sample the breakfast and lunch menus. Thank You all for the lovely welcome on our first visit here. Jayne & Karl from Gunby
