The Best Restaurants in Louth, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Really nice pub we have been in a few times. The owners have plenty of time to chat and be polite. The ales are really nice quickly becoming one of my favourite pubs in louth.

So pleased we called here for food when in Louth! We were there on a Thursday which is pie night, I had the chicken pie which was very good, home made chips are always a winner too! I asked for a side of gravy, I think it's the best gravy I've ever had! I would definitely recommend it!

Lovely little pub. Dog friendly and a great selection of real Ale. We had the Haddock and chips, and it was soo good. Real chips (fresh not frozen), the batter was so light and fish cooked perfectly. Excellent service too, so we'll definitely be coming back.

Excellent for a well cooked Sunday lunch and a beer or glass of wine. Don't forget to ring up and book though.

Had a wonderful meal here midweek with friends. Staff were great, funny, helpful and kind. The food was delicious and prompt. Good variety of dishes. Good selection of wine and sherry! Tried a sherry tasting board. Didn't use my wheelchair, but the staff put the ramp down for me anyway. Accessible toilet was very clean and well laid out. Highly recommend, and we will be back for more.

We had a wonderful time with friends at this charming restaurant, savoring both the delicious food and friendly service. Their tapas selection is extensive, and I especially enjoyed the sangria cocktail and churros with chocolate. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience Spanish flavours!

We've been trying to get in here for a loooooong time! Always a good sign when you have to book so far in advance, and we were not disappointed. Fabulous Tapas, with friendly service, knowledgeable staff and great atmosphere. So glad we've tried this little gem in the heart of Lovely Louth. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic service and delicious food. Highly recommended. The only downside I we visited while on holiday so over 100 miles away. Shame. We will definitely go again if we are in the area.

Visiting family they regularly go here and we were very impressed. It is not that large which is why it is best to book. There are steps inside and out so how they accommodate less able-bodied individuals I don't know. We had a table for 4, but they were able to move furniture around if bigger groups were needed. Our orders for drinks and food were taken quickly and equally served. The menu has a good selection of various options Italian and traditional, we had a selection of different dishes and everyone enjoyed what they received. They even offer a takeaway service as well. We will certainly be going back.

Sunday 17.00 hrs. Table for 2, as a walk in. The staff were great and so welcoming. We had 2 starters and 2 mains. We could not fault any of them, they were absolutely delicious. The Calzone Canibale was the best I've had and he even put an extra chilli in there as well. The lasagne was piping hot and took some cooling down but again was gorgeous. We cannot recommend the Montebello highly enough, we enjoyed everything from walking in to walking out, with full stomachs. Thank you to all the staff.

Can’t recommend this restaurant enough! The food is absolutely delicious! It’s the 5th time we’ve visited when staying in the area and is one of the main reasons we keep coming back! It’s so well presented and so flavoursome! We went for starters, the arancini and bruschetta then a calzone, risotto and a carbonara for our child. It was TDF! The service is absolutely brilliant they were so friendly, kind and made you feel so welcome! Really pleasant atmosphere and lots of choice on the menu too. Yet again another fabulous visit!

The food is delicious, I chose a halloumi gyro with salad and chip and a side of sweet potato fries. I don’t eat tomato usually but for the time ever the flavour was so delish it got polished. Only thing I would say is that if there is an event on it would be good to have a separate bar or an way of keeping it separate from the main bar and restaurant as we found it very hard to hear each other amongst the drunken events. Despite that I assume events are not so often and have attended again since with no issue

Attended as part of a works Christmas meal and pleasantly surprised with how efficient the service was given how busy the place seemed. Food was lovely, everyone seemed to enjoy their chosen meals. Well presented and served quickly. Desserts were again well presented and really tasty. Drinks were brought quickly and plenty of choice for everyone. Mocktails were great and the biggest selection of non alcoholic drinks I’ve seen.

First time visiting this area, looked up places to eat and drink and decided to try this place. The decision paid off because it is lovely. The food was fresh and tasty, the staff are as attentive as they need to be, really polite and helpful, the seating was comfortable and the cocktails were amazing. Would recommend 100%

First timers from Portland Oregon & Washington State. We wanted a true English Pub experience and our lovely new family Kelly & Byron brought us here. Our server was friendly and our food was great. Thanks 😊

Always have lunch here when visiting louth good choices on the menu never been disappointed love the outside seating area dog friendly inside and out water station outside for the puppies Good customer service the staff are always pleasant and helpful.

Such a lovely pub, the staff are very friendly. The food was really nice and well presented, they have a huge range of quality burgers to suit all. They fine craft ales and fruity larger's. I would recommend this place.

Amazing food and very big helpings. Hubby had ploughman’s …..just as well they do a take away box! I had lasagne delicious, nearly as good as mine 😂

We went on a Wednesday evening and it was busy but not crowded. There were 4 of us and we all ordered something different for our starter and main course and the food was lovely and typically Italian. Good varied menu with lots of different specials on the board. We had a great evening.

19 Oct 24 Called in on the off-chance and asked for a table for 3. They fitted us in as long as we were quick. The food came quickly and was excellent. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. I can't thank them enough for helping us a brilliant meal.

Food was amazing as always. Staff lovely and friendly. Very clean and good value.

Working in the local area and staying in Louth but not at the king's head , so can't comment on the rooms as not stayed here, but the food is great, home cooked and much better than ping meals elsewhere. Reasonably priced beer. TVs with sports on, pleasant staff and nice atmosphere

Attended a party here, the staff were friendly and the food was hot and plentiful.

We went on Saturday evening . The food was absolutely gorgeous. Three of us had the Steak and Ale pie . It’s was delicious and probably by far the best we have ever tasted. Along with the mixed grill . I must also recommend the service from Sarah was brilliant. Very helpful , quick and nothing was too much trouble . She made our night even more lovely and will definitely be returning again , Thankyou

Popped in for lunch with friends, all of us ordered the lasagna, which despite a wee wait, was worth it. Clearly made from scratch, and done properly. Served hot, with a delicious garnish salad and chips. Very tasty. Service was spot on. Clean toilets, and nice atmosphere overall. Can’t comment on rooms as haven’t stayed.

Dropped in here on the off chance we could eat on A Sunday lunchtime around 12.30..tables fully booked but we were offered the chance to eat outside on a table. Great beef, excellent veg pl selection and a decent portion. Same with the vegetarian option.. excellent. A great range of real ale, I chose the Bateman's Gold and it was very good. A greatt experience and would definitely return.

A new find for us. This great Batemans pub on the edge of Louth, was absolutely buzzing. We went because it was dog friendly, but the beers and service were great. The welcome was warm and while we didn't eat anything, the food looked excellent.

Turned up after spontaneously deciding we wanted dinner. The staff accommodated us and we were made very welcome. Service was excellent. Food wonderful. Good value for money. Only here a few days more but will be returning. 100% recommend.

Just came for a pint Lovely pub great atmosphere and very friendly Will definitely come back for food as it all looked amazing

A lovely warming & welcoming fireplace, with some nice warming food to go with. Some very delicious buffalo wings as part of a platter were very much enjoyed. Staff equally as welcoming (and their hounds too). One to revisit methinks.

The fish and chips were GREAT! I liked that they have the option for sweet potato frys. My husband REALLY enjoyed the chipotle chili! The staff was VERY friendly. We almost passed them up and were glad we didn't!

Absolutely delicious burgers. I had hallumi and pineapple, my husband had the boars head burger. I can honestly say they were the best burgers we've had and the chips and salad were wonderful too. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Can't wait to come back!!!

5* isn't enough for the Boars Head. First time we have eaten here and definitely won't be the last. The owners are so welcoming and treat you like old friends. Good choice of beers. The food is excellent all home-made. My wife had the scampi and l had the crispy pork belly with mustard mash from the specials board. Sticky toffee pudding and orange chocolate brownie for dessert. Cannot fault the place

I stopped here for a coffee before a morning walk around the village. It's a beautiful little pub conveniently placed for nearby walks. It was wonderfully decorated for Christmas. Special shout out to Jeff who showed me around!

Had a lovely meal with family just after Christmas. As local Lincs people the Splash is an old haunt for us (my elderly mum did some of her courting here back in the day). As ever, the food was amazing. Beautiful steak and stilton pie with proper pastry, creamy mash and perfectly cooked veggies. The grilled haddock was both big and just cooked right.... Fresh, flaky and tasty. We had just enough room for their tasty desserts. Can recommend the sticky ginger toffee pudding. We just wish the staff could be more warm, welcoming and friendly. A smile, a welcome, some conversation with customers would really make this the perfect evening out. The food is so good that the lack of service isn't enough to stop us coming. But I would love to be able to give you five stars. Come on the management... A couple of team meetings, some training and checking would raise the warmth and quality of service to a standard that matches the food and environment.

My family took me here for my birthday meal and it was a great experience all round. The owner was absolutely lovely, he interacted with us from the moment we walked in and made us feel very welcome. It’s nice to see an owner being so involved with the customers like he was! Food was absolutely lovely too!
