Cranwell ..... Best Boozers
What's the pub somewhere in the area between Lincoln and Coningsby that used to be a WW2 Mess - in fact was it 617's favorite watering hole? I can only remember being asked to leave because our nav had had 2 sniffs of the barmaids apron....

Having spent nearly 4, very happy, years in the area, during which time I indulged in some dedicated and in-depth research, I can recommend the following watering (and eating) holes:
Wig & Mitre in Lincoln (Bailgate)
The Bell at Coleby
Black Bull at Welton
I have now left RAF Lincolnshire, but a fellow researcher (a notable trencherman) who still lives in the area attests most effusively to the continuing quality of the inns mentioned; he is most glowing about the Wig & Mitre. I shall be returning to attend a couple of Summer Balls in the area shortly when, hangovers permitting, I intend to conduct some more, selfless, research and report back: no amount of effort is too great in this worthy cause.
Meanwhile, to start with, make mine a pint of Timothy Taylors.
Any spelling errors in the foregoing are, unfortunately, not alcohol induced

Not to mention the 'function' room at the George, where functions of err ... an interesting nature used to be held after solo parties, etc. Don't suppose they are allowed to be held any more cos they're a bit non-PC.

The Bustard, in South Rauceby, was my all-time favourite, at a guess I'd say that Ken is no longer mine-host? It used to be a wonderful place for a sing-song on Friday evening, and even better on Sunday morning in search of a hangover cure!
