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

Oh my. I don't know what they do for a living these Aldbrough folk but I know one thing for…read morecertain.....they grow them big and hearty. Well they do if the portion sizes at The George and Dragon are anything to go by, Geoff Capes would struggle to clear a plate here. We stumbled upon this big old pub on the drive home from a day sniffing other dog's bottoms on the beach at Hornsea. Lola the staffie had decided to add weight to the occasion by vomiting bone fragments and cat food all over the back of Ade's car, she then compounded her status as the day's MOST unpleasant travelling companion by suffering liquid diarrhoea. We needed a car break and we needed it soon. There's no real reason why you would be in Aldbrough. We decided rather than go back the way we came from Leeds we would do a loop and head back via Hull (when you feel like heaven but you look like Hull......) and we had a beady eye open for a nice local hostelry to spend a little while in, primarily to enjoy a bit of dinner but also to have a short break from the smell of hot dog yack. So it was Aldbrough where we spotted the gleaming white exterior of The George and Dragon and decided to give it a go. A nearby bungalow sported a neon sign reading 'Happy Birthday JESUS' so we were hoping for some good local 'colour' as it were. Unfortunately, it being the Wild West, there's no chance of using debit cards but we were cheerfully directed to 'Pete's' shop aka the local off licence. The shop isn't called Pete's Shop, it's just run by Pete and the cash machine inside utilises (ready for it?) a DIAL UP MODEM!!! YES!!!!!!!!!! What could be better than a trip down memory lane as the cash machine whirrrs and bleeps its internet request down the PHONELINE!!! I'll tell you what's better. Waiting the interminably long time for said machine to whirrr and bleep its internet request down the phoneline whilst enjoying the extremely hardcore pornography magazines that adorn the shelving unit on the side wall. He's a saucy one, that Pete. Cash in hand and eyes a little wider open than before we trooped back into the pub and ordered a fish platter and mixed grill- a mere £6.95 and £8.95 respectively. There's about a 30 minute wait as the food is cooked fresh but we happily passed the time by the roaring real wood fire whilst the friendly locals chatted about Christmas and New Year- my particular favourite was one middle aged man who was trying to remember the name of the shots his son had bought him the night before.... at one point he said he thought the drink was called Jingle Monsters. It was Jagermeister. At that point I rather wished he was MY dad. We had a bit of a surprise when the food was ready, expecting it to come to the table in the bar but were instead led, in a charming 1970's kind of fashion, into a separate little dining room with another lovely open fire and copies of The Countryside Alliance magazine. Yes, it was most definitely a country pub for shooty, blasty, badger bothering types. The platters were unbelievably large. Served on what can only be described as carving dishes. The epic portions were topped off with a foot long basket of hand cut chips. The food was well cooked, clearly hot from the kitchen, fresh and tasty- we had to cave in after only managing half but the cheerful barmaid brought us takeaway boxes (the smell from which made my very fat cat, The Moog, do a little ballet of delight when we brought them home later). The staff were friendly, welcoming and interested in us as guests, we've promised we will go again when we are next in the area and try out some more dishes. I only take one star off for a slight lack of cleanliness.....there were a few stains on the tablecloth and the ladies loo needed a bloody good scrub. Having said that it is difficult in assessing rough and ready local country pubs on cleanliness as generally they run on very different terms from a city pub- people wander in with mucky books, they may even slap their latest feathered shotgun victim down on the bar whilst they have a quick one for the road, the accepted level of what is clean in the eyes of the locals is often quite significantly lower than what we city folk look for. Nothing was filthy, just needed a hotter wash and some better soap. It may be a year before we are round that way again but I'd definitely pop into The George and Dragon once more- it really is exactly what I like in a pub (as you may have noticed)....and, of course, it would be criminal not to see the latest stock at Pete's. For purely research reasons you understand.

We were pleasantly surprised, the place has been recently refurbished in an attractive polo theme (liked the polo mallet curtain rails ;-) and offers a good menu at reasonable prices. The owner fitted us in (prior to another booking) despite being fully booked. Service was prompt for obvious reasons but not pressured. We had a section of meals in our party of 9 and all were happy with our choices. Fish and chips was a generous serving with minted peas with cider and interesting addition. Sunday lunch was accompanied by red white and traditional carrots that made for an interesting talking point ( the red - beetroot coloured carrots were delicious) could have done with more mash though but still very tasty. The quirky jam jar glasses and blackboard booking names places added to the overall experience. Highly recommend it!

It's unfortunate for them that the place has changed hands several times in the last few years and the reputation had suffered as a result. They also have a pool table, not so many pubs have now. Go on a sunny evening and sit outside by the river and watch the sunset, glorious!

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.
