Adam & Eve, Market Rasen

This former Indian restaurant has been fully refurbished and has become a pub/restaurant/hotel, which is particularly ironic considering the nearby Turnor Arms has turned from a pub into an Indian restaurant. We decided to stay here as it was the only place in this small market town which was answering emails. £95 for bed & breakfast seemed a bit on the pricy side, but saved us having to sleep in the car! Imagine our surprise when we arrived for the bill to have been increased to £105 to include a child's breakfast, when we had specifically asked for a room for 3. Whilst this left a particularly sour taste in the mouth, I was rather impressed by the pub/restaurant itself. It was busy when we first checked in, primarily with diners and I was impressed to note a couple of real ales on at the bar - Boltmaker & White Rat. I later returned to sample the Boltmaker and found it on good form. The interior has been decorated to an excellent standard, with a dining area and open kitchen set off to the side of the bar. Rooms have a separate entrance from the pub's astroturf outdoor drinking space and are located above the pub/restaurant. Whilst the pub can't match the nearby Ivy for atmosphere or real ale selection, it is a decent addition to the town. Although the penny pinching on room prices was not appreciated.
