Restaurant
A restaurant is an establishment that prepares and serves food and drinks to customers.[1] Meals are generally served and eaten on the premises, but many restaurants also offer take-out and food delivery services. Restaurants vary greatly in appearance and offerings, including a wide variety of cuisines and service models ranging from inexpensive fast-food restaurants and cafeterias to mid-priced family restaurants, to high-priced luxury establishments.
Walkerith is a hamlet within the civil parish of East Stockwith, in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies on the east bank of the River Trent, 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north-west from Gainsborough and 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south from East Stockwith.
The name 'Walkerith' derives from the Old English for 'landing place of a fuller'.[1]
Walkerith is recorded in the 1872 White's Directory as a small village and township in the Soke of Kirton, with a population of 80 in 252 acres (1 km2) of land. Trades listed included a boat builder, the licensed victualler of the Ferry Hotel, and four farmers.[2]
In 1885 Kelly's Directory recorded the village as a township within the ecclesiastical parish of East Stockwith, with its own ferry across the Trent, an area of 253 acres (1 km2), an 1881 population of 87, and a Wesleyan chapel built in 1834.[3][4][5] Prior to 1866 Walkerwith was, for administrative purposes, a township, afterwards a civil parish.[6][7]
