Breakfast at the Lodge Farm Cafe

The Lodge Farm Cafe on the A17 near Holbeach is a classic roadside diner and was once the Truckstop of the Year (in 2018). Popular with the Truckers, it also caters for the locals, holidaymakers, and caravanners passing by on their way to the coast. We usually stop at the Farm Shop cafe which is…

Breakfast Buns at Wells Deli

Wells Deli on the Quay at Wells-next-the-sea is a good spot to grab a cup of tea or coffee and a snack. In our case it was a good find for a breakfast sandwich before we began a bimble along the coast path. On their website they say “Since 2004 Wells Deli have been stuffing…

The Wig & Mitre pub is located almost at the top of Steep Hill in Lincoln right in the midst of the action for us tourist types visiting the castle and the cathedral. It has also always been one of the stops on our yearly pub crawls when we start at the top of the…

La Bocca in Looe – Wood Fired Pizza

La Bocca in Looe is an Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria located down on Higher market street not that far from the beach front and quay side. We both fancied a little slice of pizza, perhaps a respite from all the pasties and plates of fish and chips so we took a chance to try them…
