BEST PUBS FOR FOOD AROUND LINCOLN TO TAKE THE PORSCHE OUT?

[lumpystew]

As title: Its the missus's birthday this weekend and taking her to lincoln for a day out- the kids as well but would like to know of any really good pubs around lincoln that serve really good food and good parking for the Porsche?

Thanks Lumpy.

I don't know any pubs I'd recommend in Lincoln and the parking is a nightmare there as well. There are some good places to eat - Wig & Mitre is good but expensive, Pizza Express is like all Pizza Express places, Prezzo is good and there's Ask and some other places all on the Brayford. The parking is a problem for all of these places. There are public car parks dotted around Lincoln and like anywhere your car will attract attention, and you always have the possibility of some idiot parking next to you and banging their door against your car or backing into your car. TBH I'd park on the roadside at the top of Lincoln and walk if I had to take my car (we usually take my wife's Megane which is battled scarred already!).
You could venture out into the wolds which are stunning on a lovely sunny day, book a table at The Bluebell in Belchford, have a lovely meal, and safe parking at the back of the pub. Louth also has a couple of good pubs, The Greyhound or The Wheatsheaf, no parking for the Greyhound and a smallish car park at The Wheatsheaf. There's also a good restaurant on the other side of the road in Louth but I've never been there, and I don't know what it's called.

Or you could go to Woodhall Spa - pretty little town near Horncastle. There's The Petwood Hotel which is a lovely mock tudor hotel in nice grounds with a good sized car park. Have a wander around Woodhall, you could go the Kinema in the woods and watch a film!

Totally agree with Country Boy----get out to The Wolds.
Wheatsheaf in Louth or The Bluebell in Belchford. Woodhall Spa
has a number of eating establishments and a couple of small car parks.

An added advantaged of hooning around these parts is the lack of cameras and plod to ruin your day!!

I would keep to the top of the hill for parking, probably behind the castle.

Echo Woodall Spa as well and if it crap weather check out the Kinema in the Woods for a film. Great place and very child friendly.

Go a little further east and you could take her to Skeggy.
It might be a bit bracing, though....

Oh she would love that - and what should we brace ourselves for - The weather or the locals lol

[Country Boy]

The only recommendation I would make if you were rash enough to go to Skegness is to head out of Skegness to Gibraltar Point, have a walk in the nature reserve, and eat at the cafe there with good parking.
I couldn't recommend any pub or restaurant in Skegness and the town itself is nothing to get excited about.

I was thinking more like he could have a fumble with her in the sand dunes

[lumpystew]

Mid Feb with our weather fumbling in the sand dunes on skeggy beach - Smashing her back doors in Nice treat for who?

But the kids are going too!!

Sorry country boy it says - minus the kids but not very good on my part so I see you misconstrued it to be with the kids, lol

[gsewell]

If you don't mind being outside Lincoln - you could try the http://www.westashbyarms.co.uk/ excellent food, nice atmosphere, reasonable prices.

[Country Boy]

Oh well if I'd known you weren't taking the kids I would have recommended Skegness beach to straight away!!

[trendytramp]

Can personally vouch for Shakesby's restaurant in Horncastle where I live - eaten there on many an occasion and child friendly

[lumpystew]

Right enough is enough - I am not taking her to skeggy for a fumble lol

We will be heading over from sheffield way to Lincoln for a spot of shopping and hopefully stopping off somewhere nice for lunch but not in Lincoln centre if we can help it....
