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

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!

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!

Went here on Saturday night in Louth, 9.30pm as had lots of bookings. Very authentic tapas with tons of flavour. Gambas pil pil and beef albondigas were very tasty (all food is super fresh and prawns were from the fish market that same day, you can taste the difference! Nice music, very friendly service and well priced. Excellent desserts (some of the nicest churros I’ve eaten) as well would definitely return for good quality, freshly cooked tapas. Happy eating! Olly

Thursday pie night is unbelievable. Pork belly and black pudding pie, chips and mushy peas with a little extra gravy. The best pub meal I've had in a long time. The pie had amazing flavour, belly pork melted in my mouth and the gravy was something else. Dog friendly in the bar and outdoors, staff helpful and everything very fairly priced. If I'm ever back in the area I will return.

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.

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.

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 😊

Lovely afternoon coffee and tried the new lager on offer today. Its been snowing and the wood stove fire was on. Not too busy.

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.

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 😂

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.

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.

What a treasure! Lovely little find. Excellent home cooked food. Lovely atmosphere. Very good value for money.

1st time visit yesterday, I have the 2 of everything breakfast and the Mrs had the 1 of everything. The best breakfast in Louth by a mile in our opinion. First class quality produce cooked perfectly and to order. Everything hot and tasty as it should be. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back to sample other items on their menu

Really lovely place to have a spot of lunch! Kind staff, delicious home-made food and very good with allergens. Will definitely be back again!

Omg what a gem!! Staff are sooo nice, the place is really cutely decorated too. It’s a little small but there’s still a good amount of tables, most of them are only two seaters though so I wouldn’t recommend large groups going, unless you warn them first. Definitely recommend the hot chocolates, we had the ruby hot chocolate and it’s the best we’ve ever had! Our chicken goujons and chips were also delicious, and staff were attentive throughout. The only downside is that some items are strangely more pricier than others. For example, toasties with chips are £9/10 but chicken and chips are only £5. We got the cake box too and definitely recommend that, it’s great having to choose a bit of everything😊 will be coming back again for sure.

Second time we’ve been, first time was a lucky find, the second was an intentional visit. The food on both occasions was delicious, Signature ploughmans, charcuterie board, cheese board. All were perfectly proportioned with a varying selection of accompaniments. Drinks also excellent, the velvetised hot chocolate with all the trimmings is everything you need on a cold morning. The proprietors were lovey, kind and approachable. Looking forward to our next visit.

I’ve previously dined at Winteringham Fields so I was very excited to try top notch dining in a slightly more relaxed and informal setting by a chef with a Michelin background. I wasn’t disappointed, excellent food at a reasonable price. Upstairs seating is up a steep and narrow set of stairs so will not be suitable for those with mobility issues- however there is also downstairs seating so please specify downstairs seating when making a reservation if accessibility is important to you.

Just had a birthday lunch at this new restaurant and it exceeded our expectations. The food, drinks, service and ambience were all first class and the best we've experienced in Louth in the past seven years. The only negative was the pop music from the speaker above our table was a bit loud for conversation, but the waitress turned it down accordingly and checked with us if it was ok, so she turned a negative into a positive. This is not a restaurant that skimps on quality, so it's pricier than other restaurants around, but it is very good value for money given the overall experience and very high quality of the food offerings. "Menu du Jour" for two, covers all the options, so we tried everything between us. Already booked a return visit with friends. Highly recommended!

Great food made from excellent ingredients accompanied by wonderful service. We opted for the chefs choice of six dishes, one of us being pescatarian, and everything was delicious from fresh oysters through to strawberries and cream... I am under selling it ....every dish was well balanced and full of flavour. Service was not only with a smile, attentive but not over the top, but also providing a full description of each and every course and the elements it contained. A lovely meal, and we will be back when we are next in the area.

Absolutely marvellous restaurant. Lovely atmosphere. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. We were told exactly what was in our dish. We had the xhefs menu , six courses. Nice wine list.

We found Archie's on Google when looking for Brunch along our Travel-Route, phoned and booked in advance. On arrival we received the warmest of greetings, we were seated right away and the Breakfast Menu Choice was amazing. Our food was excellent, fresh, tasty and hot.

Another update: back for full English with a friend today. Excellent! The only thing I'd change on my several visits now are the quality of the serviettes, they are must have thousands of them as the lack of quality let's this jewel down. Update: Visited today, still excellent! Had poached eggs, spinach and hollandaise sauce with a cappuccino. A new and hidden gem in Pawn Shop Passage. Vibrant, friendly and accommodating staff. Had English breakfast as this was a first visit, figured I'd start with a benchmark. Very satisfied although next time, I'll choose poached or scrambled egg rather than fried. Hey, that's a reason to go back! There's a canine menu, afternoon teas, plus there are cocktails too.

My wife and I dropped in for a breakfast. Great food that was well cooked and presented. Dog friendly cafe too.

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%

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.

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

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!!!

Very nice meal. 4 fish and chips, 1 they grilled for us plus 1 halloumi burger. All excellent. The pub was cold, it was a December lunchtime. The barman was unsuccessful in lighting the fire. Good range of beers. Went whilst visiting relatives in Louth. Parked in a free car park around the corner.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

I have been to this Italian restaurant a few times now and I can't recommend it more. The quality of the food is extremely good and it is all cooked fresh to order. The portion sizes are brilliant as well. I would also highly recommend having the tiramisu for dessert. The service is excellent and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food also doesn't take very long to come. The price you pay for the food is unbeatable and on certain days at lunchtime you can get 20% off food. It is by far one of the best Italian restaurants I have been to and would always come back when I'm in Louth.
