My wife and I have been coming here for nearly three years now and the food is still the best around.

Look out for the specials board which has some of the unusual dishes not normally seen in other restaurants.

The Splash delivers the kind of food that reminds you why simple done right always wins…read more The Grimsby beer battered haddock is the standout. Fresh flaky fish wrapped in a crisp golden batter that actually stays light, served with proper cut chips, mushy peas, and a squeeze of fresh lemon that ties it all together. This is classic coastal comfort food executed with confidence. The homemade steak and ale pie is just as impressive. Tender chunks of steak slow cooked in a rich ale gravy, topped with a golden pastry crust that feels handmade, not factory. Creamed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and beef gravy complete the plate and turn it into a full on comfort feast. Warm service, honest portions, and food that speaks for itself. If you are in Louth and want a meal that delivers on flavor and tradition, this is a must stop.

The Splash is the name of the ford at Little Cawthorpe near louth. The pub stole the name. A lovely…read morewalk along the river or stream which is full of trout. Don't try and jump the ford..seen it hilariously attempted and SPASH! Drive through it. A good lunch can be had at the Royal Oak in Little Cawthorpe which is known locally as The Splash. Newly furbished bars, restaurants and 6 en-suite bedrooms. It also has a lovely lawned beer garden and childrens play area. It dates from the 17th century, and still retains its wonderful cosy and traditional country pub atmosphere. The Splash is approached through a shallow ford (the real Splash) in the village of Little Cawthorpe on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds. Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty just two miles from the Georgian market town of Louth, Lincolnshire. Little Cawthorpe is arguably the prettiest village on this eastern fringe of the Wolds and the name of its inn, the Royal Oak (together with countless others around the country) commemorates the occasion in 1651 when King Charles II hid for a day and a night in an oak tree to escape his enemies after the Battle of Worcester. A particularly picturesque part of the village is the ford, which provides the inn its alternative name of 'The Splash'. Both feature on the pub sign - and if you phone, the landlord and staff even answer 'The Splash'! Opposite the pub a house has a wall made entirely of wine bottles. At the other end of Little Cawthorpe the church stands on a hill above a large pond fed by seven springs. This is the source of the Long Eau, which flows over the 'splash' near the inn and eventually onwards to Saltfleet. The area has been landscaped over the years but even from the road some of the springs can still be seen bubbling away. The little church of St Helen's is quite modern as churches go, having been built in 1860. It is strikingly designed in red and black brick, though nowadays some may feel it is not too sympathetic with its surroundings. Across the road is the Manor House. This is a private property but may be glimpsed from the road and is a fine example, with its Dutch gables, of Tudor brickwork; it is dated 1673. Exploring the areaTwo miles away Muckton has lost its Holy Trinity, a church that had been rebuilt in 1878 but still contained original Norman archways when demolished in 1983. Now only the poignant, abandoned churchyard with a few gravestones remains along with a still splendid, though lonely looking lytchgate. Across the road on a gate pillar is a rare Victorian letterbox. It is an deal location for walking or cycling, and there is an 18 hole championship golf course 1 mileaway.

The Tap and Spile can be found on the river behind Freshney Place Shopping Centre…read more There are two entrances. One is in Garth Lane and has parking. The other is over a little bridge across the river and in though The Haven Mill. The pub is a part of the old mill and has a kind of industrial building feel to it with metal girders and a wooden terrace overlooking the river. Great for sitting out on in summer but the river can be a bit smelly in hot weather. It is L shaped and bands set up in a corner. Good music from Blues and Folk to acoustic nights, open mike and general. A mix of ages in the clientel. Good food to be had here and the drinks are well priced. The staff can be a little rude sometimes though. A great place for atmosphere and good music.

Safe to go back in now. Under new management. Halleluya!read more
