Horse & Groom Lincoln

25/03/2026

Sorry we’ve been a little quiet on here recently… as many of you know, since the fire last year the pub has remained closed while we continue working behind the scenes. 🔥

If you’re missing our food, our chefs are currently cooking over at The George Inn, Langworth, the newest addition to the Ever So Sensible family, opening this Friday 🍽️

Make sure you pop in and give them a warm welcome - and we’ll keep you posted on updates from the Horse & Groom as soon as we have them. 🍻

🎉 The wait is finally over! 🎉

Our brand new website for The George Inn is now live - and from 27th March you’ll be able to book your tables online in just a few clicks.

Planning a catch-up, family meal, or drinks with friends? You can now reserve your table quickly and easily using the link below.

Thank you for your patience while we got everything ready - - we can’t wait to welcome you back! 🍻

✨ Something Curious is Stirring in Langworth...

🎉 We’re thrilled to announce that Ever So Sensible has officially acquired its fifth pub in Lincolnshire!

🍻 This beautiful old coaching inn has centuries of history soaked into its brickwork, and we’re ready to start penning the next chapter. Over the coming months, we’ll be refurbishing, restoring, and reimagining the George. Bringing it back to life as a warm, welcoming pub filled with great food, proper pints, and a few nods to local legends.

🔨 It’ll take time (and plenty of tea… and dust), but we’re determined to do it right. Expect to see builders, designers, and the occasional confused member of the Ever So Sensible team pretending to know what they’re doing.

While the George gets its glow-up, why not visit us at The Duke William, The Ferry Boat, Royal William IV, or Horse & Groom Lincoln (once we’ve sorted that bit of smoke damage 🤦‍♂️).

We’ll share progress along the way, so keep your eyes on this space, and your nose out for the first whiff of fresh paint and Sunday roasts.

She loves to take her two dogs out in the countryside with her partner, paddle boarding (sometimes with a dog too!) and reading 📚
