Spaldings Hidden Gem

Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre lies one of our best-kept secrets: The Olive Tree’s spectacular sun trap courtyard. Situated just off Francis Street, this beautiful al fresco space is enclosed by charming, warm red brickwork and is anchored by our namesake—a stunning, mature olive tree that brings a genuine touch of Mediterranean flair straight to the heart of Lincolnshire. When the sun is shining and the skies are blue, there is simply nowhere else you would rather be.

Designed to be a relaxed, sun-drenched haven, the courtyard effortlessly catches the very best of the day’s weather. Whether you are finishing up a long shift, catching up with friends over the weekend, or simply soaking in a lazy summer afternoon, the atmosphere here is vibrant yet wonderfully laid-back. Picture yourself sitting beneath the silvery-green canopy of the olive tree, listening to the clink of glasses, with an ice-cold pint of local real ale, a crisp cider, or a freshly shaken summer cocktail in hand.

A cozy outdoor patio with wooden tables and benches against a red brick building. There are string lights hanging, a sign on the wall that says 'Clappers Place,' and a small sign that reads 'Please mind the step.' A red umbrella is partially visible on the left, and trees and a blue sky with some clouds are in the background.

Of course, a sunny afternoon in our courtyard wouldn't be complete without something delicious from the kitchen. This vibrant outdoor setting is the absolute perfect backdrop for sharing a few of our tapas-style small plates with friends, enjoying a chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc, or digging into one of our famous black pudding and apple Scotch eggs. It is all about enjoying high-quality, seasonal food in a totally unpretentious, comfortable environment.

As the daylight fades and the evenings draw out, the courtyard transitions beautifully into a cosy, ambient space, making it just as ideal for twilight drinks under the stars. Spaces out back fill up incredibly fast when the weather is fine, so come on down, grab a seat, and experience Spalding’s favourite hidden oasis for yourself.
