A true taste of Lincolnshire

Batemans Brewery is one of the county’s best known and respected craft brewer with our head office and Visitor Centre in Wainfleet.
Since 1874, we have been one of the district’s main employers and today we operate sixty-two tenanted public houses and three managed public houses across the area.

PASSION FOR PRODUCE
Batemans are passionate about Lincolnshire and the fine food (and drink) which is locally grown and produced. Wherever possible we use local butchers, fish merchants and local fruit and vegetable growers. When you enjoy a meal from our recently introduced, managed pub menus, be sure to enhance it with a glass of locally brewed Batemans Ale!

A TASTE OF LINCOLNSHIRE
New menus have recently been introduced at our three managed pubs – The Railway Hotel, Kirkstead Bridge, Woodhall Spa; The Bell Hotel, Burgh le Marsh and The Old Chequers Inn, Croft, Skegness – to give you a true Taste of Lincolnshire.

There is a range of menus, with dishes designed to be cooked from fresh to each customer’s order. Whilst at busy times this may mean a short wait, we are sure you will agree the wait is worthwhile – to experience fine quality, delicious Lincolnshire produce, freshly served. Additionally, there is a choice of “National Pub Favourite” dishes to choose from, with the benefit of the Chef’s signature dish or “Early Bird” specials served lunchtimes and early evenings.

The new menus are now being served and the Christmas Fayre Menu will be available from 2nd December. You can also book now to come and join us for Christmas Day Lunch.

Popular with locals and visitors alike, the hotel also has en-suite letting bedrooms, a small static caravan park to the rear and is close to many leisure and fishing facilities.

THE OLD CHEQUERS INN
Reputedly the oldest inn in Lincolnshire, this peacefully located public house is just five miles from Skegness. In the dark winter evenings, you can easily find the inn, brightly lit up along the Lymn Bank. The welcome is equally warm inside with an inviting open log fire in the bar and an enclosed log burning stove in the dining room.

As you would expect from a building which dates back over 400 years, The Old Chequers Inn is very quaint but with all the contemporary facilities. There is a public bar, family area and dining area. In summer you can enjoy dining ‘al fresco’ in the excellent garden area.

We are sure we can tempt you with the new ‘Taste of Lincolnshire’ menu, as well as a great choice of other food including omelettes, sandwiches and baguettes or a dish from our ‘Classic Favourite’ pub meals.

To the rear of the inn is a static caravan park with five pitches for touring caravans and tent pitches.
