Hunger pangs in Horncastle?
Places to Eat Recommended restaurants and perfect pubs, compelling coffee shop and the best bistros Horncastle and Woodhall Spa are extremely well-served for those seeking anything from a relaxed bite to fine dining.
Another suggestion is a visit to Minting’s Sebastopol Inn, just outside Horncastle. Innovative food from chef patron Nick Reed and family, plus a warm welcome make it a superb choice for those seeking high quality pub restaurant dining. Woodhall Spa’s Petwood Hotel is one suggestion for dining in the village. The hotel’s new head chef is featured in this
The Events Diary... edition, whilst the Petwood combines high quality dining with regular events like this month’s murder mystery evening. We also suggest Woodhall Spa’s Village Limits - this village pub champions great ingredients and has been recognised in the Tastes of Lincolnshire’s awards in its Best Pub category for the past seven years running.
