You are assured of a warm welcome by Chris and Nigel, who have owned the Red Lion Inn since October 2006. This substantial period property, parts of which are more than 400 years old, is situated in the village of Partney,2 miles from the market town of Spilsby on the southern edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds. The inn has built up a reputation for excellent food and is listed in both the AA Pub Guide and The Good Pub Guide as well as being awarded a gold citation in the Lincolnshire Life “A Taste of Excellence“ awards 2006/07 and 2007/08.
Room 1 overlooks our private garden and Partney House, a listed house built in 1612 and the only house to escape the plague in 1666. A plaque on the east gable bears the inscription “O Lord, be thee my keeper. Mercie and peace be in this place AD1616”. Room 2 overlooks the church, St Nicholas, which was originally built in the reign of Edward I or II. It was restored and partly rebuilt in 1862 and still has its lofty 15th century tower. The weather vane in the form of a ship is in honour of St Nicholas, the patron saint of seamen. Room 3 room has views of the church and also the edge of the Wolds which is visible beyond the village hall.
All our meals are homemade, freshly prepared and cooked to order. A good selection of wines is available from our wine list and our real ales are maintained to the highest quality. We try, wherever possible, to use locally sourced produce. Our meat is reared locally and provided by Ashtons butchers in Wrangle and we buy our vegetables locally. A board hanging in the bar is updated daily to show what farms have supplied the meat and vegetables you are eating. In addition to our extensive main menu, daily specials are available. Our dessert menu is huge too with over 22 choices. Sunday lunch is important at the Red Lion. We serve a traditional roast dinner with a selection of locally produced vegetables. We only use joints of meat supplied by Ashtons and we roast it ourselves. |
