The Dolphin, Stamford

Has been closed and up for sale for several months. According to local press, is unlikely to re-open as a pub.

This is a traditional old pub, with several different rooms located just on the outskirts of the centre. It's probably just far enough away from the main drag that it doesn't get to rammed on a weekend, and is (so I'm told) the only pub in Stamford that does food on a Saturday night. The bar area was quite small, and as several locals seemed to like standing there chatting, it wasn't especially easy to get served. The menu was quit extensive, with most pub classics on there, plus pies, burgers, etc. and a small specials board. Apparently they do a carvery on a Sunday. The food wasn't fantastic, but with most of the mains being around the £7 mark, you can't expect too much. Four beers on tap, Wells Bombardier and IPA, Belly Warmer and Old Home Wrecker. Also Strongbow cider.
