Gainsborough pubs

Apr 18, 2004 6 Replies

Hi



We'll be spending a week just south of Gainsborough in Lincolnshire soon. Can anyone recommend pubs that do food in the area, please?



Thanks



Andrew


Big food pub next to the Trent bridge here where it says PH in the middle. It's serves food all day.

Isn't it a Brewer's Fayre, though (or it was a few years ago)?

Does it even serve real ale (as most BFs seem to have stopped doing so)?

Fair point, the last time I went there it was a chain pub ( I think it had hand pulled Boddys though), but I've visited the Brewer's Fayre and Beefeater websites to try and get the actual name and it doesn't appear on either. The OP had asked for a food pub primarily and these outlets are good for food as they serve it all day, have a decent menu and an easy ordering format. The Ferry House in nearby East Stockwith serves real ale and good food, but it's a pig to get to and doesn't serve food all day.

A lot of other pubs serve better food, but only in 2 hour windows by and large. Used to use chain pubs a lot when the children were small - you could visit one in Essex or Cumbria and knew what you'd get before you walked in. You could carry the small booklet in the car and find one nearby anywhere in the country. This was after I got fed up at driving out of my way to CAMRA recommended pubs, only to find that they'd stopped serving food 10 minutes ago.

Sweyn Forkbeard serves food all day and guest beers. Other side of the wall is The Longboat if you want a selection of Real Ales. Hulme Arms at Torksey. New Bistro and art centre on Lea Road just opened haven't tried the bistro yet. Ingram Arms at Laughton. Sunday roast but you have to book same at Blyton Black Horse. Pyewipe is on canal side between Lincoln and Saxilby and the Bridge at Saxilby is under new management.

I belive your talking about the 'Trent Port'
