This is a nice enough little boozer
In here last Saturday just after 2.00pm and about a dozen others present.
Six regulars sat at the bar on stools but not getting in the way.
Some piped music is playing but not too loud. They have a TV but it’s not switched on. They also have a dart board and a pool table.
Most of the tables are set for diners with napkins and knives and folks laid out.
5 hand pulls but 3 are for Adnams Southwold Bitter.
The other two are Green King IPA Gold and Tom Woods Lincoln Gold.
I have a pint of the later which is very nice indeed and cost £2.80.

I spend a lot of time in the Fenland and have to admit that decent pubs are pretty thin on the ground. However this is a pleasing exception and, by a distance, the best pub in Holbeach. The beer range isn't very dramatic (most recently Greene King IPA Gold, Old Speckled Hen and Adnams Southwold Bitter) but the quality is good. The place is bustling, spic and span and with friendly bar-staff. The bar morphs from a kind of lounge through the bar area to a pool-room area, and the citizens of Holbeach (across the age ranges) seem to like it.

Well kept Woodfordes Wherry and Marston's Pedigree when I visited recently. Friendly new incumbents Mick and Katherine now introducing good food menu too. Pool table in separate area. Worth a visit if in this obscure part of South Lincs.
