Pub history.
The Inn on the Green once known as the Generous Briton has been an Ale House for over 200 years.
The main structure was built of Lime Stone Rubble & Pantile Roof approx 1780 – 1800’s . Inside set in the brick bar there is a Headstone with the initials ‘R.B’ dating back 1820.
The Story goes that a violent fight broke out when a local man returned home to find his wife with her lover, the husband killed the lover and was later hung at Lincoln Castle where some friends of the husband recovered the Headstone and brought it back to rest at his Local.
In 1985 Adrian Govier the owner at the time set about revamping and changing the whole operation to a food led pub and changing the name to The Inn on the Green. Since then it is well known as a foodie pub which it still remains.
Sarah & Andrew met in 1996 when working at the well known Bell Inn and Hill House, Horndon on the Hill, Essex.
After a couple of years honing skills they took a year out to explore Australia. On their return they set about gaining experience in some of London’s best eateries.
Sarah at the Mitchelin Starred Chapter One in Bromley, Kent and Andrew at the renowned La Poule au Pot in Belgravia.
Then in March 2005 they purchased The Inn on the Green at Ingham formerly known as The Generous Briton.
Since the beginning Sarah & Andrew set their stall out providing good service and quality home cooked food at competitive prices to the extent that they grow some 20-30% of produce during the summer months sourcing Local Produce as much as possible and Champion British Produce.
