Will Larter left this review about Londesborough Arms

I hadn't planned on stopping here, as it was getting towards sunset on my cycle ride to photograph some of the previously photoless pubs in this part of Lincolnshire. The sight of a massive Bateman's sign at the entrance to the car park here caused me to change my plan, but I was soon wishing I hadn't. First I had to wait five minutes while a couple of locals got served - the fact that none of the drinks was a real ale should have been a hint. There were four hand pumps on the bar (I think: forgot to mention it in my notes) with Batemans XB and XXXB among the offerings. I went for the latter, but it was in poor condition, with a slightly off flavour that might have been down to not being pulled through since it's last use. Probably some time last century. Being in a hurry I didn't complain but just sank the beer and put it down to experience. I was left with, literally, a sour taste in my mouth, which I resolved to cure with another beer in the next pub.
