Lovely Lincolnshire
With its fabulous coastal resorts, historical charm, thriving
market towns, unspoilt countryside and cultural heritage,
Lincolnshire is a varied and vibrant county; sure to keep a smile
on any visitor’s face, Reflect would like to encourage our readers
to visit this stunning region for a holiday this year.
Fabulous Coast
For a traditional seaside holiday, Lincolnshire
cannot be beaten! Head to the bustling towns
of Skegness, Mablethorpe and Cleethorpes on
the Lincolnshire Coast, where, come rain or
shine, fun is never in short supply.
Skegness is a popular choice for family holidays
with quality hotels, guest houses, bed and
breakfast accommodation and self-catering
properties. There’s also plenty of caravan and
camping parks for those looking to enjoy a
holiday on a budget.
The resort of Mablethorpe can be found just
along the coast from Skegness and boasts a
sandy Blue Flag beach, complete with its very
own sand train, as well as unique beach huts,
known as the ‘Bathing Beauties’, along the
promenade and beyond. Each one of these
huts was designed as part of the Bathing
Beauties Festival, which takes place each
September.
Historical Charm
Lincoln is a city rich in history. The cobbled
streets of Lincoln’s Cathedral Quarter will
transport you back in time as you wander
through the superb historical landmarks and
amazing architecture that sets this place
apart from other cities. The stunning, gothic
cathedral dates back to 1072, and offers some
fascinating tales from the past. It’s also known for
drawing film fans from far and wide since featuring in
the 2006 box office smash the Da Vinci Code.
Lincoln Castle, built by William the Conqueror in the
late 11th Century, is also a must for anyone thinking of
visiting the city, as it houses one of only four surviving
copies of the Magna Carta. This important document,
which was drawn up in 1215, set the standard for
democracy and laws within England, and is exhibited
proudly alongside the story of its creation.
Unspoilt Countryside
Wanting an alternative to the busy city? Then head
to the coast and wider countryside for more fun,
frolics and fresh air. Golfing, fishing and horse riding
provide a more liberating and leisurely way to explore
Lincolnshire.
Ramblers are well catered for in Lincolnshire with
numerous pub, canal, nature, village, aviation, history
and even literary trails to be explored. All the paths are
well marked and the terrain is wonderfully varied.
Golfers can also make either a day or weekend of it, by
teeing off from one of Lincolnshire’s vast range of 50
golf courses. From championship standard to stunning
parkland courses, breathtaking links courses to some
truly challenging nine-hole courses, Lincolnshire has
something to suit all golfers.
Food Glorious Food
The eastern county has been leading the way in
living off the land for many years, before ‘seasonal’,
‘sustainable’ and even ‘local’ were buzz words – food
and drink in Lincolnshire is at the very heart and soul
of life.
As a rural county, Lincolnshire is the birth-place
of a number of dishes and delicacies, including:
tangy Lincolnshire Poacher cheese, coarse-ground
Lincolnshire sausages, succulent, marbled Lincoln red
beef, stuffed chine salt-cured pork filled with green
herbs, usually parsley, haslet – a type of pork loaf, also
flavoured with sage – and Plum bread.
For the freshest, finest local produce look out for the
Tastes of Lincolnshire logo at shops, places to eat and
accommodation. A Lincolnshire County Council and
European Union funded project, Tastes of Lincolnshire
encourages people to choose local food and drink.
Food produced by its members can be enjoyed
across the county in farm shops, farmhouse B&B and
guesthouses, hotels, pubs, cafes, restaurants and bars
flying the Tastes of Lincolnshire flag. For further details

project, please visit

Odling Bros Scoop
Certificate of Recognition
Situated in the village of Navenby near Lincoln, Odling
Bros is an independent butchers, offering high quality
cuts of meat, alongside a deli counter and grocers
stocking all the essentials. Established in the 1920s,
Odling Bros has remained in the Odling family since
its creation, which helps to maintain that family feel
and the friendly and approachable nature of its staff,
something that Odling Bros prides itself on.
The shop underwent a radical refurbishment in 2006
in order to accommodate the Odling Bros expanding
range of products, which includes locally sourced
meat and poultry, a wide range of goods baked on the
premises (including pork pies, meat pies and sausage
rolls), an extensive cheese and delicatessen counter
and fresh vegetables and grocery essentials.
Alan Odling, told Reflect: “My grandfather established
the butchers and my brother Roy and I are going to carry
on for many more years, hopefully passing it onto our
children to enable a fourth or even fifth generation of
Odlings to carry on the Odling Bros name and reputation
here in Navenby for future generations.”
With such an excellent reputation for high quality
products and a friendly smile, Reflect have chosen
Odling Bros for a Certificate of Recognition for
Services To The Local Community. On hearing the
news, Alan said: “Thank you Reflect I’m chuffed! It’s nice
to get recognition and everyone here really appreciates
the fact that our hard work and commitment to
providing quality products has been recognised. Over
the years, we’ve continually built upon our reputation for
exceptional quality, striving to give our customers exactly
what they want at a reasonable price, with a smile and
cheery greeting.”
Celebrating 92 years of success, as well as our
Certificate of Recognition, Odling Bros is today run by
Keith’s sons as a team effort after his retirement last
year. Odling Bros do run a delivery service from their
mobile van, covering the areas of Waddington and
Brant Road, as well as RAF Cranwell. Alan and Roy are
hoping to expand the deliveries further this year with
a mail order service as part of a new website, which
should be launch at the end of February.
If you can’t wait until then for regular updates on
Odling Bros, you can befriend them on Facebook
(Odling Bros Ltd) or even follow them on Twitter (@
Odlingsbutchers), where Alan often ‘tweets’ special
offers exclusively for Odling’s followers.
Odling Bros is open from Monday to Saturday, 6am
until 5:30pm, so why not pop in and see for yourself
why they’ve survived for so long, and gained such an
enviable reputation.
