Where to Eat and Drink in Louth Article on Louth Food - Daily Telegraph July 2007 Rose Prince on the best of regional British food. This week: Louth, Lincolnshire While Michelin and the AA guidebooks continue to dominate food tourism, BMW has brought out a manual to food adventures in Britain that is challengingly original.   Fishy business: wide selection at Igloo Seafoods The Good Food Ride taps into a growing interest in the new style of relaxed eating, in venues where ingredients are all. Thank goodness someone has done it. Michelin's obsessive admiration for theatrical restaurants that overload menus with technique has often driven me to buy my own ingredients and make a picnic. I don't want the starred restaurant's amuse-gueule: a bite that takes the maître d' three minutes to explain but goes down the throat like a slice of smoked salmon down a Labrador dog, leaving no food memory. I don't want to pay for cleaning the three tablecloths draped over my table and I don't want to contribute to a million pounds' worth of interior decorating. But what has all this got to do with Louth? The Good Food Ride takes you on a tour of the UK's gems and is particularly good on market-dining: farm shops and delis where you can sit down to eat as well as buy. The book includes 11 tour maps, each offering a different "food adventure". The East Midlands route took me to Louth, an old-fashioned shopping town surrounded by farm shops. You can buy a picnic in this Lincolnshire Shangri-La to surpass all others - a true antidote to the preciousness of déjeuner à la Michelin. SUPERMARKETS There are no major chains in Louth, hence the healthy throb of the town's many shops. There are several butchers and greengrocers competing on the high street, just as they should. The nearest large stores are in, or close to, Lincoln or Grimsby.   The best cuts: Jackson's Butchers Sainsbury's Grimsby shop sells asparagus from Kitchen Garden Produce in Owmby-by-Spital and a large amount of fish from Young's, based in Grimsby. Asda's Grimsby store sells Pocklington's plum bread and other cakes (see later listing) and plum jams made by Myers. Morrisons has a store in Grimsby, but no local produce to report. Tesco's Cleethorpes store sells Lincolnshire potatoes (white and baking). Waitrose's Lincoln store sells vegetables and fruit from several named local farms - check boxes and signage in the store - and Lincolnshire Poacher cheese. SHOPS, FARMS AND MARKETS Louth was once home to five abattoirs, but all of them are now closed because of the high cost of the onerous regulations brought in after the BSE crisis. Louth's butcher's shops continue to thrive and all buy from local farms. Louth Farmers' Market This is held on the fourth Wednesday of the month in the Market Place. For details, contact Susan Smith on 01507 568 885. Pocklington's Bakery, 2 Market Place, Louth (01507 600 180) The Pocklington family bake bread and confectionery using flour milled from wheat grown in the Lincolnshire Wolds. Their plum bread is adored by local people and the bakery will send it anywhere by post.   Baked goods: Pocklington's Bakery Jackson's Butchers, 118 Eastgate, Louth (01507 602797) Nigel and Val Wrisdale's shop is a temple to Lincolnshire tradition. The haslet (a loaf made from sausage meat, liver and onion) and chine (cured pork shoulder, boned and stuffed with parsley) is made with Lincolnshire pork. Bacon is smoked with hickory and there's cured fat to lay on top of game birds or venison, which bastes and flavours naturally as it roasts. Wrisdale's pork pies have beautifully crisp pastry. Nigel used to be a slaughterman and will not make his pies with boar meat. "It taints the flavour and is much too firm." A Dales & Sons, 120 Eastgate, Louth (0785 2532539) A poulterer is a rare sight in a market town, but this institution has been going strong since 1896, when it was opened by Peter Dales's grandfather. All chickens are locally sourced and during the season this is the place to go for game birds that have been locally shot, hung and expertly prepared. On the day of my visit, Dales was selling vegetables with roots nicely caked in Lincolnshire mud. Closed on Mondays. Igloo Seafoods, 15 New Street, Louth (01507 603933) Lesley Tyler's father was a fish merchant working from Grimsby beach and all the fish is bought from the nearby port. The haddock is smoked with turmeric by Lesley's brothers (trading as Kirwin Brothers) and on the day of my visit there was a good variety of superbly fresh fish on display, including grey mullet, mackerel, mussels, plaice, sprats and crabs from Whitby. Fish pies, fishcakes, and baked soused herring are all prepared on the premises. RJ Sandy Butchers, 180 Eastgate, Louth (01507 603357) Richard Sandy buys whole carcasses of Lincoln Red cattle and cuts them himself, so there is an impressive range of cheap cuts such as skirt, thin rib, rising rib and shin to choose from, as well as the prime roasting cuts. The sausages are wonderful: additive-free and cased in natural skins. Louth Wholefood Co-op, 7-9 Eastgate, Louth (01507 602411) The place to buy flour milled at nearby Alford's five-sailed windmill, plus local eggs and some organic vegetables. Lakings of Louth, 33 Eastgate, Louth (01507 603186) Yet another amazing butcher that has been in the town for 100 years, specialising in Lincolnshire pork: pies, faggots, brawn and black puddings. Robinson's, 125 Eastgate, Louth (01507 602499) Fifth-generation grocer Chris Robinson buys soft fruits from a farm four miles away, potatoes from Alford, green vegetables from Wainfleet and apples direct from farmers. Abbey Farm, Stixwould, Woodhall Spa (01526 351739) Twenty minutes down the road from Louth, James and Lucy Barclay keep native breeds that include Lincoln Red beef and Gloucester Old Spot pork. They also offer ready-made foods. Pink Pig Organics, Holme Hall, Holme Lane, Scunthorpe (01724 844466; www.pinkpigorganics.co.uk) A little out of the way, at the end of The Good Food Ride's East Midland food trail, lies an excellent farm producer and shop specialising in pork, with a good restaurant on site. A must if you are in the region. LOUTH EATING Keep things simple and prepare a picnic with a few slices of chine and dry cured ham from Jackson's and some Lincolnshire Poacher cheese. Eat the cheese with Pocklington's plum bread, spread with a good coating of butter, just as the Lincolnshire farm workers once had it. Good Food in Louth Lincolnshire Jackson's Butchers Quality butchers and bakers. Lincolnshire Butcher of the Year. All beef, lamb and pork from local farms in Lincolnshire.

The store was established back in 1781 by Adam Eve, when he started up a business as a mercer and grocer at the present Eve and Ranshaw premises. The following year, he became manager of a woollen factory and had full control of it by 1801. The shop was transferred to William Eve. The shop's name changed to Eve and Campbell in 1807 when John Campbell joined the firm, and has been known as Campbell, Bowmar and Ranshaw; Bowmar and Ranshaw; Bowmar, Ranshaws and Eve; Bowmar, Eve and Ranshaw; Eves and Ranshaw and in 1876 it became Eve and Ranshaw, the name by which it is still known.
