Most Disliked
Some visitors note that the pub can get quite busy during peak hours, especially on Fridays at 7 PM. This may lead to longer wait times for tables and service, so making a reservation is advisable for popular dining days like Sundays. A few patrons mentioned encountering some rude customers, which can dampen the otherwise friendly atmosphere. However, the management is quick to address such issues, showcasing their commitment to customer satisfaction.

Lovely little CAMRA pub. Good ales on cask! Food looked and smelled amazing although we were too late to book in so had to go elsewhere although they were able to serve us a pork pie which was banging! So my recommendation for Sunday lunch is book in advance if you can to avoid disappointment! Dog friendly pub and the staff are charming. We did encounter a snooty snotty patron grumbling about our dog barking (which we were doing our best to control) so we took our dog and drinks outside, the beautiful landlady came out afterwards to apologise for that customer's behaviour and said she'd had a word, which meant a lot to us that she bothered to come out to talk to us and smooth things over. She's a lovely lady and I'd highly recommend this pub, we'll be back next time we're in the area! Thank you x

Lovely little pub. Dog friendly and a great selection of real Ale. We had the Haddock and chips, and it was soo good. Real chips (fresh not frozen), the batter was so light and fish cooked perfectly. Excellent service too, so we'll definitely be coming back.

So pleased we called here for food when in Louth! We were there on a Thursday which is pie night, I had the chicken pie which was very good, home made chips are always a winner too! I asked for a side of gravy, I think it's the best gravy I've ever had! I would definitely recommend it!

Only a 10 minute walk out of town to this CAMRA Good Beer Guide regular. (Stop half way for the Boars Head...or on return leg!) On a junction into town so the sunny beer garden is a bit noisy. Nice locals bar. Excellent pint of Taylor's Landlord.

Excellent for a well cooked Sunday lunch and a beer or glass of wine. Don't forget to ring up and book though.
