Bar inside lorry opening at Lincolnshire pub this weekend

Great teamwork by two Lincolnshire businesses

A pub in a village near Grantham is getting ready to reopen on Saturday with a quirky outdoor extra bar inside an artic lorry.

The Waggon & Horses in Caythorpe will open at 11am on July 4 and is extending its outdoor capacity to adapt to social distancing measures.

This includes an ‘Edge Bar’ by Ernest Venues, which was designed by Lynx Engineers in Boston and is currently set up within the pub’s garden.

The ‘steel giant’, which was engineered and built in Boston, is an artic lorry with hydraulic powered sides that is accessed via a ramp. The sides unfold to 96 square metres of space with a fitted bar, sound system and lighting throughout.
