The pub, located next to the lock by River Witham, was taken over in March 2016. It has been refurbished and has extensive floral displays in summer. The large conservatory acts as a restaurant and attracts many diners. There is also an enclosed garden area. The landlord is a CAMRA member and keen gardener. Closed Monday/Tuesday until boating season. During the summer there are Wednesday and Sunday boat trips to the pub from Boston for lunch. The pub name was changed to the Oak Tree, but has reverted to its original name.
