Will Larter left this review about Star & Garter
My first cycle ride of the year came to an ignominious end here, when I checked the time of the next train to Lincoln and found that I had time for a beer at this good looking pub. Luckily it had just opened at 4pm, and even better the Timothy Taylor Landlord was in very good condition (NBSS 3.5). I was told that the present licensee is retiring, so I hope the new one will also know how to look after this beer properly. I was amused by the authentic beams in one corner, some of them balancing precariously on a modern mantelpiece (see photo). I was glad to have found this one open by lucky chance, especially as the weather was changing and my cycle ride into Lincoln would have been a cold, grim one.

Visited here back in November when it was the location for a family wake.
The Star and Garter is a two bar corner pub in the village of Metheringham, a medium sized village, 10 miles south east of Lincoln.
There is a central bar serving area to which the public bar is to the front of the pub and the saloon is to the back and from each when standing at the bar, you can see through to the other one.
There is also a third room which may be used as a dining room in normal use but was in use for the buffet for our party on this occasion.
The public bar is a good layout in that it has a pool table , darts board an open fire place with real fire as well as a large standing area in front of the bar and all are in their own defined area which does not intrude onto the others. So we could huddle round the open fire and be well out of the way of the people standing up the bar and those playing pool. The saloon bar was again laid out around a fireplace, but if I remember correctly, this one had a gas fire and the room had more the feel of someone’s front room. Two real ales were on , but memory fades and I cannot remember what they were, except for the fact that both were kept well. I cannot comment on the pub food on offer, but if it is anything like the buffet we had (which contained first experience of Lincolnshire Plum Loaf), then it will be top notch..
