Good cheap and cheerful food but surrounded by style and class. The patrons could spend the money they save on food on clothing ! Toodle Pip ! Rod LW

Have indeed played at your culinary establishment - although couldn't quite persuade my fellow musicians away from the more classical stuff - at most an Irish Jig!! Come to think of it - was promised a 3 course meal but someone forgot to tell the chef! Little Witchlet Impoverished and hungry.... WoE Boudica - would you like to borrow the outfit? LW xx LB

"Seen it all before" we hear you cry but that we very much doubt .... we shall have themed tables, mine will be Boudica, who else and yours presumably Josephine Baker. Whether Louth is ready for such a cultural revival it's not clear but Boudica with her sturdy shield will certainly be ready for a hail storm of rock buns! WoE p.s. We must seek advice from those in the know, namely LB, an expert in all things culinary and burlesque! Witchlet,

Most of the people I saw were wearing items clothing that cost less than your afternoon tea would :) I trust men would be required to wear a jacket and tie and the ladies white gloves ? If so put my name on the list for the grand opening. If you need any books I know someone who would happily supply you with 17,000 of them ! Best Rod LW

Went into Forbes but couldn't see anything of interest. <i>All that’s missing is a secondhand book shop, Liberty and of course Ikea!</i> What about a Macdonald's ? No town is copmplete without one !

What a civilised notion that is! There - a business venture - I shall open a "Drawing Room" or is it a "Parlour", only work afternoons, serving tea with one arm, whilst sawing a little Baroque number with the other...... Do you think it could be a winner?!! Of course, appropriate first editions of the time would be idly scattered on tables of white linen .....

We are fond of it's Victorian ambience and good food .... the Witches know a first-class rock bun when they see it! For fine clothes see Forbes, opposite there is an interiors shop worth a quick look and a nice store selling leather bags etc. We mustn't forget the fishmonger, a rare sight this side of the county. The residential side of Louth is much nicer than many other Lincolnshire market towns and the locals are pretty much self sufficient ..... do they ever feel the need to visit Lincoln? All that's missing is a secondhand book shop, Liberty and of course Ikea! WoE (Kings Road, Chelsea specialist!) Rod,
