Lincolnshire is full of good food, from cosy pubs to local markets. Here are a few favourites to try
• Country Pubs — Just over a mile away, the Massingberd Arms is a true village gem — friendly, welcoming, and the perfect spot for a hearty meal or a relaxed pint after a day out. This local pub embodies the charm of Lincolnshire food and drink.
• Louth Market — Held three times a week, this traditional market is the perfect place to pick up local produce, baked goods, and treats. It’s a great stop for anyone looking to explore the best of the Louth market offerings.
• Farm Shops — Discover Lincolnshire’s rich farming heritage with farm shops offering fresh seasonal veg, cheeses, chutneys, and more, all straight from the source. It’s the best way to enjoy local flavors.
• Independent Cafés — From artisan coffee to vegan-friendly bites, local cafés provide the perfect stop-off after a walk or shopping trip, showcasing the diversity of Lincolnshire food and drink.
• Fish & Chips — Of course the seaside is famous for them, but you’ll also find some of the best fish and chips inland, just 7 miles away in Louth or 4 miles away in Alford. Perfect for an easy (and tasty) night off from cooking.
