The Boars Head in East Lindsey

What an experience. Staff: The perfect balance between being attentive and pestering. All staff on shift came to us at the perfect times and frequency. Not too early, not too late. They were so approachable, talkative and lovely. Drinks: Good selection, delicious and cold. Reasonably priced. Food: Now I’m a food guy. Worked in hospitality for decades, own venues, but this food was quite possibly the best food I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating. I had the ribs which were delicious, the meat flaked off the bone, barely any fat and the portion size was impressive. Loaded fries were a strong portion with amazing flavour and quality. Definitely not stingy with the ingredients! Side of buffalo wings…Enough sauce to have a pint of after your meal. Definitely not stingy, just the right amount so you can enjoy every bite. I finished it all with zero regrets. All in all I won’t go anywhere else in town now as I have zero complaints about here. See you next time!

First visit on a quiet thursday with a few groups dining in the bar. I was greeted by a very helpful lady with a beautiful smile. The simple menu appeared to be all their own, home made and carefully thought out. The very attentive gent prepping the food was equally informative and helpful. Simple home made food served with care. One to remember and try again some time.

What can I say about this rude landlord who couldn't admit how bad his microwave food was. Rice was rock hard ,chicken pie was more like soup pie. And where was his rating for hygiene? Which was 3 by the way.

This is most definitely the best pub with the best food in Louth and probably Lincolnshire. Marlon and Gemma are superb hosts. The food is delicious. There is an excellent choice of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. I can’t recommend The Boars Head highly enough. Go if you get the chance and definitely try the jerk chicken or a roast.

We went to louth for a daytrip for our first year anniversary and the staff were really welcoming and hospitable. Would definitely visit again

Great Sunday lunch at the Boars Head…… we both had the beef with extra cauliflower cheese……. One of the best Sunday lunches in Louth in an authentic pub .

Popped in with the dog and had a wonderful Sunday roast. Beef and pork with a health selection of veg sat next to a roaring fire. Food was delicious and good value for money desserts were tasty. Sticky toffee pudding and banoffee Sunday. Will return.

We came here twice for food and drink and we were not disappointed. On both occasions the meals we were served were delicious with very generous portions. The services was really good, all the staff we met were friendly and happy to seat us with our 3 dogs. Hopefully we will be back in Louth again so we can come back!

Delicious vegi option for Sunday lunch which was perfect in every way. Lovely cosy pub with a real fire at each end. Very friendly and clean. Can't wait to try the rest of the vegi menu options. Thank you for realising that vegetarians don't live on a diet of goats cheese and risotto.

As we only live a short distance from Louth this absolute gem of a pub has become our 'go to' local and we visit regularly - often with our furry friend who is always welcomed. The owners, Gemma & Marlon, are superb hosts and they go to great lengths to make their guests feel at home. The pub has a great rural atmosphere and is a fabulous place to relax and enjoy friendly banter in cosy surroundings with top notch food and drinks. As you'd expect from a well-run hostelry in current times the Covid precautions are efficiently managed and consistent which is very reassuring. You will not find a more friendly family-run pub anywhere in the County and we can highly recommend it. Many thanks to Gemma, Marlon and the team for making our visits so enjoyable. Very best wishes and the best of luck in these trying times. We look forward to seeing you all again very soon!

Just popped in for a drink but what lovely people running it. Married couple (owners?? staff?? don't know) were just so nice - friendly, hard-working, efficient, calm during this difficult Covid time.Covid precautions in pub were stringent as they should be but was so well-managed and all staff so diplomatic and well-mannered.This is a really tough time for all businesses and they need all the help & support from us the public/punters. We live miles away but we'll try to support this pub here and there as they are not only decent folk but we see that they have interesting food too. On this visit we didn't eat but we'll give it a go probably one Wednesday when I think they have a Carribbean menu. So this gets five stars for service, friendliness, good (white) wine (Jack Rabbit I think which is excellent) and a good lager and being able to feel safe there during Covid escalation times.This pub's not all that long reopened. Please public support it. They deserve it!Best of luck to The Boar's Head!PS to the management: no The Lincolnshire Live website wrongly indicated staff cannot have visors. Think it's still OK from our checking afterwards so either masks or visors apparently.

Popped into this pub to get out of the rain. It us a 5 min walk out of the centre of town and a real find. Fantastic atmosphere and very dog friendly. Really friendly family run pub. Will definately be back. If your in Louth and want a great place to relax, I highly recommend The Boars Head. We sat inside which was very cosy but on a better day the beer garden looks brilliant.

I visited today for lunch with friends,we had a very relaxing lunch.The pub itself is tastefully decorated,very clean and the lavatory was spotless.We had a very warm welcome from the very helpful and friendly staff..I have to be very careful what I eat..The Chef went out of his way to make me a cheese omelette which was delicious ,together with a lovely pudding..I can highly recommend this Pub,dont hesitate,you will not be disappointed! Many thanks to the staff,I will certainly visit again.

Just how a pub should be! Great beer, lovely staff and customers. Delicious food and service. A roaring fire. Dog friendly. Very clean. Highly recommended.

We celebrated our daughters 18 birthday here, we had an area of the pub to ourselves. Marlon managed to get 19 meals out to us and our guests over 15 minutes. The pub has a great atmosphere, the food was fab, most had the fish n chips which everyone said were amazing, I had a 1/2 pound burger which was cooked to perfection. Give this pub a try, you’ll not regret it.

First time visitor and and what a fantastic place! Warm hosts and a cosy atmosphere (proper fires and log burners!) and nicely decorated for Christmas. We all had food and this was really tasty (I had chilli and chips with cheese). Wheelchair access if required is around the side of the pub. Dogs are allowed in too. Give it a go soon! You won't regret it.

We visit here quite regularly and it is always so warm and welcoming. Gemma & Marlon really are such fantastic friendly hosts. We had Sunday lunch here and other lunch time sandwiches and it's always awesome, so tasty. Make sure you book though as it is difficult to get a table it is that good! If you want to visit a lovely market town pub with all the creature comforts, but is still a bit cool, you can't go wrong with this place xx

Came to Louth on a Wednesday & called in at the Boars Head. Marlon wasn't planning on doing any West Indian cuisine as there were no bookings & he didn't have anything in so it would be the normal menu only. He must have seen the disappointment on our faces & after some rum & beer offered to get some food in & do jerk chicken just for us!What a Star, we went back later & had jerk chicken, sweet potato, sweet corn, rice & slaw. A lovely meal in a great pub run by fab hosts, what more could you ask for. Great selection of drinks especially many interesting rums. Look forward to the next Rum 'n Reggae event with the guys from Notts, a definite date I think.

Popped in for mid week meal , the jerk chicken was excellent along with the rest of the meal. My dad had ox tail which he thoroughly enjoyed . One of the best pub meals we have had in a long time and will be calling in again when next in Louth.

Recommended by staff of hotel was staying at. Called on a Thursday evening (burger night) had the pulled pork burger with real homemade chips not horrible fries with coleslaw and a side salad. The pulled pork was beautiful in a lovely sauce. Beer too was good and a good selection. Whilst fairly quiet but mid week and early evening it was very warming and friendly with very good hosts and would not hesitate to recommend this pub and no doubt will be calling again when back in my home town for a visit

Looking for a place to eat in Louth and chanced upon the Boars Head Pub. A lovely welcome, pleasant atmosphere, super food and the clientelle were very good company. Especially pleased to find the toilets spotless and in good order. So many pubs are let down by poor facilities. A visit is highly recommended.

Went here with some friends who highly recommend it, good beer and great friendly atmosphere. All set out perfectly.

Food and atmosphere great, have to stop myself going every Sunday for lunch! Car park next door, small but delightful garden tables. Staff seem to been permanently happy and dogs welcome.

Marlon and Gemma have done a great job transforming the Boar's Head from a dull, uninviting pub into a warm and welcoming, tastily refurbished, great place to hang out. And the West Indian food on offer on Wednesdays is a real bonus.

I went for Sunday Lunch and cannot praise the Chef enough. All freshly cooked, vegetables still green and all cooked perfectly. The other good thing is that the portions are just right, enough to fill. you up but not such an overflowing plate you lose interest and cannot finish it all. The beer was really good too, cold and fresh.

Having had a quick pint here a couple of weeks ago, went back today for lunch with the wife. The menu is fairly limited we had a beef brisket roll and a pulled pork roll. Both were extremely tasty and came with an attractive green salad and red cabbage coleslaw. The freshly cooked chips were excellent and home made. The pint of London Pride I had was absolutely first class, best pint of Pride I've had in many years. It usually doesn't travel well to Lincs but this was spot on. My wifes Deuchars IPA was good too.

Newly re-opened, refurbed really nicely, great range of beers & pleasant bar staff (assume landlord/lady)

The new owners have clearly put their heart and soul into this classic Louth pub. The refit is modern while still retaining the feel of a cozy boozer. Welcome is friendly with lots of spaces to sit and chat over a drink. Ignore the reviews from years back. Definitely worth a visit.

Just been in to book for a get together, and have a drink. Helpful and drinks at a good price. Dogs welcome, it would seem, but that cuts both ways.

Newly re-opened, thought we must try it. Walked in the door to see a nice log burner, nicely finished bar area and bar. Owners seemed nice and friendly and chatty. Drinks reasonably priced. Will try for food soon. Look forward to visiting again.

Just been to the Boars Head for sunday lunch , its just opened its doors this week end.

Great pub, superb ale. Always a warm friendly welcome. Dog and people friendly. This was the best local pub in the town. Never any trouble.

Un amigo y yo decidimos visitar algunos de los pubs más tradicionales Louth. Ganas de apoyo a las empresas locales y después de un pub genuino ambiente me sugirió la jabalíes Head, que me habían sentido ir por unos 5 años, pero nunca habíamos encontrado el tiempo.

De domingo por la tarde, mi socio y yo entramos en este establecimiento. Al entrar, mi socio era inmediatamente dijeron que 'no'. EXTRAVIADOS por este extraño acogedor, le pregunté sobre lo que significaba por este saludo injusta. La dirección errónea mi amigo que él era menores de edad (a pesar de ser 25 y después de haber certificado identificación) sin demora abandonó el lugar y tenía la puerta se estrelló en nuestras caras. Un poco confundido y ofendido decidimos re-preguntar por qué habíamos estado tan ostensiblemente discriminadas. Al volver a entrar nos dijeron que no sirven 'jóvenes' y 'habitantes' sólo sirven tanto a pesar de edad legal y nacido en Louth.

Soy un habitual en este pub (y numerosos otros dentro de la ciudad) y sentir las críticas anteriores no le hacen justicia. Es sin duda un regular s Haunt, 'wet-led' en el moderno jerga, pero ninguno lo peor para eso. El encargado y casera son quizás una singular pareja y una pequeña taciturn, pero saben cómo mantener constantemente excelente cerveza. La comida, aunque limitado a unos cuantos artículos en unos pocos días, es una relación calidad-precio fabulosa y enormes raciones. La selección de música, principalmente 1950 s-60 canciones, puede no satisfacer todos los gustos, pero crea un buen ambiente y muchas personas van a lo que solo.

This is a really quaint pub that deserves to be buzzing. It's cosy and warm with some nice locals. Unfortunately just read the last 2 reviews and you will understand why I don't need to say anymore.

This is possibly the worst pub I have visited within the local area in terms of customer service. As a real ale fan I would advise you to avoid this pub as the management were extremely rude. It's the reason why real pubs are dying, its such a shame. I really want to support local ale but this really puts me off. Cambra real ale member. Better places to visit.

Me tomó un amigo mío aquí esta tarde. quería mostrarle mi "local". Yo estaba indignado por la total falta de entusiasmo a nuevas oportunidades comerciales por la casera que pasamos todo su tiempo en su ordenador portátil destituir al Consejo y oportunidad local para nuevo comercio. Ella desestimó el pub ella corría como un problema del consejo que desean que un "lodge" llevaría y diciendo que el comercio era tan horrible que nadie quiere estar ahí al fin!!!

Went to the recently changed hands Boards Head to try the fish and chip supper on a Friday. It was excellent. Very good value for money, £5.00. Well cooked, decent size portion. Well worth a visit.

Have to say, we are regulars for the food which you can't beat for the price. Friendly faces all round and good old fashioned proper pub atmosphere (no Weatherspoons plasticity here)make it a jolly good "local".

a 'proper' pub, always a great evening. Plus a couple of evenings for fantastic food - the best value in town. Sunday lunch can't be beaten, but you have to book; well worth planning ahead for. Can't recommend it enough
