Best kept secret in the area. This 16th century pub/restaurant is run by a lovely couple (Dave and…read moreJackie) who make you feel welcome every visit. My wife and I have been coming here for nearly three years now and the food is still the best around. Sometimes you may have to wait due to everything being cooked fresh to order but it is well worth the wait. Look out for the specials board which has some of the unusual dishes not normally seen in other restaurants.

Ordered jacketed chips and got ordinary luke warm chips. Salad was a tiny amount of rocket with a few tiny pieces of tomato and onion. (Hoping I don't get ill) We did tell the staff as they asked, but was not taken any further. Sadly we will not be returning and we only live around the corner. (Was hoping to be a regular.)

This is a fantastic local pub to the villagers of Waddington and surrounding villagers…read more It is a friendly pub, with good staff members, they do food menus and the landlord is a local member of the community as well. I had my wedding reception there many years ago and it was great, the food was lovely and it was a nice friendly atmosphere around the place.

Well worth a stopover, if only for curiosity, is the Laceby village pub. Nothing majorly remarkable…read moreexcept it was formerly two pubs - the Nags Head and the Waterloo. I rememebr it as two so not that long ago. It is reputed to have earned a place in the Guiness Book of Records as being the two most closely situated pubs in the country,prior to their being joined, next to each other. It is in the market square..the hub of the village. Taking the name of the Nags Head, the pub also serves food and beverages. The Nags Head is highly recommended as friendly and welcoming, it is the only pub in the village though, since when it was two pubs. Laceby has retained a traditional village atmosphere. It has managed to remain fairly separated from Grimsby. The centre of the village dates back to the 1800s and the village post office, which opened in 1849 and is due to celebrate its 150th birthday later this year, is said to be one of the oldest in Britain. Laceby has a village school and library and each year a church fete with stalls and other activities is held.

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.

having eaten at both inn on the green and the black horse with my family recently if were talking…read moreabout comparisions there isnt one lets start with the service the inn on the green provides professional service and standards that we have not experienced in a long time at a village pub very impressed. as for the black horse half the staff were outside smoking when we arrived and the language was disgusting even if we didint have our children with us and thats why we was probably waiting ages for any service, we could have come between there smoke breaks if was told when that was. lets talk about food the inns web site is totally correct fresh food and some grown on the premises as i saw for myself it was very well cooked and just as well presented again down to the service again very impressed. the black horse how ever not alot fresh im afraid and would of been nice for all our family to eat together instead of in stages and it was not busy at all so no excuse there. down sides for both places.....The inn on the green, cud nt find one on our visit great value for money and all the awards they have won totally earned including a great review in the journal for february recently. the black horse, bad news quite alot overpriced including drinks, service very poor, language outside and inside very offensive and no need at all and obviously allowed by the management, very dissapointed. Will say they have a very nice outside patio area. good for kidz. as for the last review i dont no how many places they eat at in a day because they ate at the inn on the green on there web reviews and also ate at the black horse on there site to same day interesting. m.banks
