ye olde vapory in England

The Ye Olde Red Lion is the only public house in the small picturesque, rural village in the rich, flat, Fenland countryside nine miles south-west of Boston, Lincolnshire. The pub was refurbished in 2012 with a focus on keeping its historic features and charm but with a modern comfortable feel. It's an ideal place for a drink with friends or to enjoy a delicious "award winning" homemade meal or a light bite from our unique Lincolnshire Tapas menu. We have a wide selection of real ales and hand picked fine wines. The local farmland produces some of the best quality produce in the area, which we embrace in our tasty dishes. Our team of highly skilled chefs offer a unique dining experience whether it's from our tapas, bar & restaurant or themed menus.

Ye Olde Plough House was established 45 years ago by Mr Monk and started life as a small coffee shop without mains water and with no bathrooms or toilets. Extensive work has been undertaken over the years in order to refurbish and modernise the building and grounds. The old track from Brentwood through Bulphan to Tilbury once formed part of the Pilgrims way for those travelling to the shrines of Thomas a Becket in Canterbury and Our Lady of Walsingham, in Norfolk. One can imagine the weary pilgrims as they sought shelter, food and hospitality around the central health of Ye Olde Plough House. For apart from ruffians the whole area was rife with malaria. Today travellers still find sanctuary at Ye Olde Plough House on the busy A128 but they are travellers of a different kind. Now Ye Olde Plough House offers a warm welcome to passing motorists, tourists, foreign visitors on their way from the docks, businessmen and anyone who needs, for one reason or another, to be away from home.
