The Bustard Inn is a beautiful grade II listed building situated in the middle of the peaceful village of South Rauceby. The pub has a history of royal visits from King George VI and Prince Charles when they were stationed at Cranwell. In October 2006, under new ownership, the pub was completely refurbished and extended to emphasise many of the striking features of the building including the courtyard, the old brew house and the ornate oriel window looking onto the lovely beer garden.

This is a warm, friendly, welcoming family business providing professional first class service. The award winning chef serves delicious freshly prepared and mostly locally sourced food while the public house serves the perfect pint of real ales and keg beers as well as an excellent choice of wines selected by a Master of Wines. there is an A La Carte Menu (available at all opening times), a bar menu (available at all times except Friday and Saturday evening, and Sunday Lunch) and a Sunday Lunch set menu.

The restaurant has up to 70 covers including a private dining room which seats up to 12 at no extra charge. The restaurant is very popular for birthday and anniversary parties as well as business lunches and is an ideal venue for smaller weddings. All types of special dietary requirements are catered for and there is also disabled access and facilities. Families are very welcome but it is requested that children under the age of 13 years vacate the restaurant by 8.00pm.
