DINING OUT

Revamped Horse & Groom welcomes new customers

One of Lincoln’s most iconic pubs has opened its doors following a major revamp.

New leaseholders the Ever So Sensible group, who also operates Dogma in the city, has spent £250,000 overhauling The Horse & Groom at the junction of Carholme Road and Brayford Way. Work has included a complete interior refit, a new dining room extension and a landscaped exterior with the addition of a decking area.
 
Chris Bulaitis, managing director of the Ever So Sensible group, says that the changes have been well received. He says, “We only opened last week, but we’ve already had some outstanding feedback about the venue.
 
“Everybody in Lincoln is aware of the pub as it’s in a prime position, but it has sadly been left to deteriorate over the years. When we acquired the leasehold, our aim was to bring back some of the original charm of the building and make it a warm, welcoming environment to enjoy a drink and some great, locally sourced food.  Our first weekend has been an extremely busy one and we look forward to welcoming more people from the area to The Horse & Groom in the run up to Christmas.
 
The Horse & Groom serves a selection of cask ales from small local breweries, as well as an extensive wine list. The food offering, devised by the group’s executive chef, includes a wide selection of classic dishes, using ingredients sourced from the surrounding area. As well as a choice of fixed price lunch and evening menus, the venue will also have a traditional Sunday lunch offering.
