The Editor's Letter

 

Hello to you all! For those eagle-eyed readers, you may have noticed that Kirt the Mouse was not featured in the last edition and for that we apologise. He took it upon himself to hibernate but is definitely back and hiding somewhere in this issue!

In our June issue we featured some photographs from the lighting of the Beacon at Kirton Holme to commemorate the 80th anniversary of VE Day. Apologies to Chris Crisford who took the photos and was not credited.

I am very pleased to include the following press release in this issue:

The Old King’s Head Bistro & Bar
Set to Open in Kirton

A beloved local landmark is entering an exciting new chapter as The Old King’s Head Bistro & Bar prepares to open its doors under the new tenancy of Mark and Katharine Nundy, proud Kirton residents with a deep commitment to their community.

Slated for a grand opening toward the end of July, The Old King’s Head will relaunch as a vibrant farm-to-fork bistro, restaurant and bar, as well as a Mediterranean-inspired outdoor area, with a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from Lincolnshire farmers, growers, and producers. At the heart of the Nundys’ vision is a core value: supporting the local community through honest food and genuine hospitality.

Guests can look forward to a welcoming space serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, alongside a thoughtfully curated bar featuring quality local draught beers and a bespoke wine selection tailored to complement the bistro’s ever-evolving menu.

“We’re thrilled to breathe new life into this historic building,” said Katharine Nundy. “Our goal is to create a warm and inclusive space where people can gather, relax, and enjoy exceptional local food and drink.”

Further details on the official opening date and reservation information will be shared in the coming weeks.

Finally some good news to share in what has been a very uncertain time since its closure.

If you have anything you’d like to say, someone you’d like to thank, a poem or a puzzle you’d like to share, get in touch! I’m always contactable at Editor@kirtonnews.co.uk.

Take care of yourselves and each other.
