The first micropub to be opened in Lincolnshire. The building was part of the Priory of Spalding and is believed almost 800 years old. Because of its shape it has always been known as The Oven or The Prior's Oven and has been used as Spalding Monastic Prison. Its more recent use was as a bakery and it became a pub in mid December 2013. The ground floor bar has a vaulted ceiling. Beer is also available in one-third pint measures.
Conversion
This Grade II* listed building was part of the Priory of Spalding and is believed to be c.1230 in origin. Due to its unique shape it has long been known as The Oven or The Prior's Oven. Formerly it is said to have been a lock-up for the monks and the name is derived from its shape, not from its former uses, the last being a bakery. It became an interesting micropub in 2013, consisting of a single vaulted room on the ground floor with eight concentric arches that houses the bar. A spiral stone staircase leads to an upper room of similar proportions but without the vaulting. It is closed Monday to Wednesday and opens late afternoon on Thursdays and Fridays. Real ales and ciders are served.
