Shoppaholics
While we may not have the supersize shopping centres, Lincolnshire is lucky to have a whole host of independent stores selling the best of the best.
Pick Your Own Fruit
Within walking distance our neighbours the Brader family run a ‘pick your own’ business. They grow strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and other fruits and vegetables. They also run a small farm shop.
15 minutes drive away: Louth
Louth is a small market town and to date has done an excellent job of keeping most of the big multiples out of the town centre and has an excellent array of independent food shops and stores.
Standards are exceptionally high and Louth is fast becoming recognised as a “foodie town”. As reported in The Daily Telegraph, Louth provides the best in regional food, in a similar fashion to say Ludlow. For example we have 9 butchers in the town, some excellent delicatessen such as Beaumonts and a fantastic Cheese Shop.
In addition there are a host of clothes and home independent stores, including Eve and Ranshaw, an independent department store. Louth is the perfect market town to pick up some unique buys.

One excellent local butcher is Lakins, their choice of meats is excellent and gluten free options are available! Highest quality Lincolnshire Beef, hung for a minimum of three weeks always available.

The Cheese Shop
An artisan delicatessen selling the highest quality British and Continental Cheeses, Deli Products and Ports, as well as savoury and sweet tarts, scones, and biscuits daily.
