In case you didn't and manage to get onto mudcat, here are the directions
The address is The Drovers Call Lea Road Gainsborough Lincolnshire DN21 1AN Phone: 01427 612044
Take the A1133 from Newark to Gainsborough. This will eventually bring you onto the A156 north west of Lincoln.
Key villages on route A1133 Collingham, Besthorpe, North Clifton, Newton on Trent, Laughterton A156 Torksey, Marton, Gate Burton, Knaith, Lea
Once you are through Lea and come into Gainsborugh outskirts, you need to be looking for "The Drovers Call" on your left. It is a biggish pub, and difficult to miss.
If you go past Gainsborough Lea Road railway station, you have gone too far
Time - fairly slow roads - winding, twisting - so an estimate would be, if you set off at 7:15, you would be there between 8:00 to 8:15 depending on how quick you drive and road conditions. Bear in mind it is harvesting time up here, so tractor vehicles are the norm on the road at this time of the year. Take care - many a person killed getting frustrated and overtaking them at the wrong point.
