The Fortescue Arms
Welcome to The Fortescue Arms, an attractive 16th century pub in the beautiful village of Billingborough, Lincolnshire on the edge of The Fens. We pride ourselves in serving the best ales and beer, an excellent selection of wines and spirits, and a fresh, home cooked pub menu that is sure to appeal to all tastes.

So whether you are joining us for a drink at the bar, a family meal or perhaps just to sample our wide range of gins, then we are sure you will leave with a smile on your face. All our food is cooked fresh to order using local produce. Our menu includes a variety of starters and mains, catering for meat eaters and vegetarians.
Services
We take enormous satisfaction in delivering a warm and inviting atmosphere with personable staff that treat you like one of the family. Whether you are booking a meal for the family or a get together for your friends, we guarantee consistently excellent service with generous food portions and a wide range of delicious drinks.
Our classic, golden Amstel Beer, with its very distinctive and mildly bitter taste, has over the years become well known beyond the borders of its native country. San Miguel is brewed using a special mashing process which gives the beer a fuller and slightly sweeter flavour. The unique recipe and San Miguel yeast then come together to deliver a refreshing, full bodied beer with a great taste.

Popped in on the off chance of a light lunch on way back from Bourne. What a little gem we stumbled across. Sevice so friendly in a country pub setting and the food was fabulous. Just moved in to the are, so the Fortescua Arms has gone on our map of local eateries. Many thanks for a great experience.

Big group of wet cold cyclists turned up at lunch without booking, staff accommodated us without issue and served various delicious meals & coffees in good time. The pie of the day (steak & ale) was excellent, as were the chunky chips. Thanks Bridie for the excellent service!

We went on a last minute date night for a meal after work,
Ordered pie of the day and the hanging kebab.
We waited just under an hour for the main meal, as table next to us had starters and mains before ours.
The pie was nice but was wife no vegetables or gravy, I've eaten alot better value for money pies that came with an abundance of veg and gravy.
The kebab was very underwhelming it was bland, overcooked to the point of being as dry as the Sahara and definitely not value for money at £15. There was 3 bits of beef and chicken and the rest was made up of vegetables , plain rice and oven wedges

Just had a lovely meal at the Fortescue Arms, food was delicious, can highly recommend the sea bass, lamb shank and rack of ribs. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. Staff were very friendly and attentive, will definitely be going back.

We had an excellent meal with friendly service. The rear courtyard is such a pretty place for alfresco dining, and every effort has been taken to make it comfortable as well as being Covd safe.

Not happy, dirty glasses and cutlery. I spoke to the chef and asked him if the steak would be tender, he guaranteed that it would. On arrival I run my knife over it and instantly knew it was going to be tough. I basically had to saw it to cut it, needless to say not good. My friends had different meals one of which was kebabs, I had one of his and it was absolutely fabulous. Sometimes you just can't win. The staff was very good
