A popular Lincoln bar has launched Valentine’s Day date packs to help couples enjoy a romantic lockdown indoors, either together or online via Zoom.
The Strait & Narrow launched the new packs earlier this week, along with a competition in partnership with The Lincolnite to help find someone who could do with a bit of love… in drink form.
The Valentine’s Day Pack (2 person) costs £42.95 and includes two 500ml cocktails of your choice, two jam donuts, two of Ben’s Sexy Love Potion Shots, a ‘Strait Lovin” candle, a DJ playlist with the Iron Fists – Sexy Hip Hop mix, a box of Belgian chocolates and a rose.
The Zoom pack is similar, but for one person and costs £24.95.
Time for a bit of love…in drink form.
Customers can choose from a wide range of cocktails including Amaretto Sour, Banana or Strawberry Daiquiri, Espresso Martini, Mixed Berry Caipiroska, Negroni, Old Fashioned, Piña Colada Milk Punch and more. Mocktails can also be provided on request.
All packs will be delivered on Friday or Saturday, February 12-13 unless you require it sooner. The last day for UK wide courier orders is Wednesday, February 10.
Delivery is free for anyone living in postcodes between LN1 to LN6, but anyone outside of this area will need to pay a courier charge.
Jez Nash, who owns the Strait & Narrow, said: “We’ve evolved into a lot more of a community business this year which has been great and it’s taken us down some great avenues – foodbank donations, buying Christmas dinners for people who are struggling, sending snacks to key workers, and we’re trying to always do some cool things for people whilst taking The Strait into different ways of trading.”
The online Strait Crates business continues to be busy and Jez added that he has expanded the beer offering, including exciting breweries such as Bad Bunny in Derbyshire and Franklins Brewing Co from Maresfield near the south coast.

Police are appealing to locate a man captured on CCTV in a pub in Grantham, after a female staff member was reportedly sexually assaulted while on shift.
At around 7.30pm on Wednesday, September 22, a man entered the Old Bank pub on Grantham High Street and ordered a drink from the bar.
After finishing the drink, the man went to the bar and offered a tip. At this point he grabbed a female member of staff with both hands and kissed her neck, before being pushed away and told not to touch her.

Volunteers have again been cleaning up the Sincil Bank area of Lincoln, collecting car tyres, a road sign, shopping trolleys and even a used needle in a bid to make the streets tidier.
The cleanup was organised by volunteers at Sincil Bank Lincoln RiverCare and Litter Pick Group, as an army of people armed with litter picking devices took to the streets of Lincoln on Saturday, October 23.
The litter picks take place monthly, and despite having reduced numbers this time around, the group managed to collect a large hoard of rubbish.

Volunteers took to the Hermit Street and Portland Street areas first, where numerous empty cans of beer and broken glass bottles had to be cleared from what looked like a party aftermath.
Drug paraphernalia was also found in the area in the form of a used needle, which was safely disposed of due to the health risks that come with potentially coming into contact with used syringes.

The items collected include a bike frame pulled from a drain, a games console, two shopping trolleys, two car tyres, a bag of clothes and a television without a screen.

As well as this, the volunteers collected 45 face masks, 155 cans, 65 glass bottles, 55 plastic bottle containers and 20 bags.

Perhaps the most bizarre find was a box full of mounted pike heads, which were described as “macabre” upon discovery.

Nick Rawsthorne said of the pike heads: “We know Halloween is now very close, but to find a box full of mounted pike heads was totally unexpected. A rather bizarre find and a sad reflection on how some treat local wildlife.”

A Lincolnshire woman has been cleared of sexually assaulting a man after the Crown Prosecution Service offered no evidence against her.
Cheryl Howarth, 45, of Timms Drove, Low Grounds, near Swineshead, had denied a single charge of sexual assault on a male aged over 16-years-old. The offence was alleged to have occured on August 30, 2019.
Howarth appeared at Lincoln Crown Court on Monday where her case was listed as a ‘backer’ trial. However her trial could not be heard due to other court work.
Andrew Fitch-Holland, prosecuting, said the Crown Prosecution Service had decided to drop the case and offer no evidence on the charge after speaking to the complainant about the further delay.
Recorder Simon King directed a not guilty verdict to be entered against Howarth and told her she was free to leave court.
