About This Pub
Ah, The Lord Harrowby – what a gem of a pub in Grantham! From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got that proper local feel where the staff go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome, which is just lovely. I mean, hearing about their award-winning real ales and the decent selection of beers on tap really makes me want to pop down for a pint. The beer garden sounds like a brilliant spot to unwind, and having a pool room adds a fun twist for a casual night out. Plus, it's all at a reasonable price, so you can enjoy without worrying about the wallet. On the flip side, though, the opening times look a bit muddled, and their online presence isn't quite up to scratch – I couldn't get much from the website, which might leave you scratching your head if you're trying to plan ahead. And it's so popular that snagging a table for food can be a challenge, which is a shame if you're in the mood for a bite. Overall, it's a solid choice for a relaxed evening, and I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in the area, as long as you go in with realistic expectations.

Went in a few weeks ago with a few of the Grimsby branch of CAMRA, was my first visit but won't be my last.
Voted Lincolnshire CAMRA pub of the year and well deserved, congratulations to the management and staff.
Great Lincolnshire pub. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. They have a pool room. Drinks are good value, the beers on tap are decent. Beer garden is spacious and comfortable.
Very good selection of beers and good local brewer. Did not order food but it looked good for other diners. It is popular for food as we could not get a booking with casual visit. Excellent pub.
Great little town pub. Real Ales always hitting the mark. Owners and staff really friendly, making you wanting to return and enjoy the atmosphere over a pint or two in a CAMRA award winning pub.
A genuine diamond in the rough and a hidden gem to boot. I have Asperger's and social anxiety was just looking to explore Grantham when I stumbled upon this place, never would I have expected to feel so welcome in a local pub. The landlady and manager extremely friendly and even the other patrons.
Some seriously great music playing. Felt like I'd walked into a family and was part of it 2pints in.
Amazing selection of beers and ales, probably some nice largers too but those aren't for me. Extremely nice atmosphere, super comfy and clean. I can't express how surprised and delighted I was about discovering this place.
Only downside was that I eventually had to leave,
