Where to eat

Mr Chip's is a legendary (in the area) chip shop, and well worth a visit. Fish and Chips to eat in or take away The Wheatsheaf is a pub on Westagte serving a variety of traditional ales and delicious (mostly locally produced) pub food Chuzzlewits is a fine tea shop on Upgate. Being served afternoon tea by waitresses in Victorian dress is an experiece perfectly suited to the charming surroundings of Louth.
