Formerly known as the Lion, a visit in 1870 from the Prince of Wales, Edward VII, prompted the addition of Royal in the title. Guy Gibson, commanding officer of RAF 617 Dambusters Squadron, spent his wedding night in this imposing, brick and stone building. The bar has a flagged floor and an impressive fireplace. There is a separate area for pool. To the rear is a large, enclosed beer garden. Live music is a regular feature. Walkers on the Viking Way long-distance path often call in for a drink and good-value meal. Hourly Lincoln-Grantham bus stops just outside.
