Is there a wine bar or cocktail bar in Market Deeping?
Yes. Notty’s Cocktail and Wine Bar on High Street is a relaxed cocktail and wine bar with a changing food menu and a beer garden. It isn’t a traditional pub, so you won’t find real ale there, but it’s a good option if you’re after wine, cocktails or a more social evening out.

Is there a pub in Frognall?
Yes. The Goat, on Spalding Road in Frognall near Deeping St James, is a traditional pub dating back to 1647, with a real fire, a conservatory restaurant, a family room and a large garden with play areas. It reopened in May 2026 after a year’s closure.
Which pubs have a beer garden?
Most pubs in the Deepings have a dedicated beer garden. Thirsty Giraffe, a real-ale micropub, does not have a beer garden, although it does have outdoor seating outside the premises.
