I'm in the throes of moving to Bourne from London, in my time in
Bourne I've been really impressed by the people here and the
lifestyle they enjoy. In "starting from scratch" I've had to start building up a new network of people and services, here's a listing of companies I have found to offer a great service and are very friendly. If you are visiting Bourne or live here already, these companies (to my mind) have gone well beyond what I would expect as a great service! |

Performance Motorcycles Unit 1, Victor Way Cherry Holt Road 01778 395 671 |
Being a biker, this place is THE place in Bourne! Ian & Paul run a great social motorcycle business. Lots of Racing bikes, servicing and parts for regular bikes. I am often there, lending a hand and have met loads of new friends there. Biker? come and have a chat, even a cup of coffee! | |
| Cartunes Units 1 & 2 The Arena Roman Bank 01778 393660 |
2 Great guys, running a clean tidy
workshop and working on a wide variety of cars - old and new. Have
all the right diagnostic toys. Car issues? give 'em a call! Members of the Good Garage Scheme |

| Hamilton Tile Studio Unit 11, Victor Way Cherry Holt Road 01778 424 948 |
Helpful staff, impressive range of wall and floor tiles. They also have 2 brilliant tilers who really DO know their stuff. Kitchen or bathroom make-over? Consider this place as a first stop! | |
| Trevs Tyres Unit 8, Cherry Holt Square Cherry Holt Road 01778 426 381 |
Modern surroundings, quick, efficient service, very reasonable prices | |
|
Bourne Photographic 13 The Burghley Centre 01778 393787 |
Possibly the better of the two photographic shops in Bourne despite having no onsite full scale printing facilities. Aimed more at the "proper photographer" rather than a mere print shop. Knowledgeable, friendly staff. |

Q@Southside Roman Bank Cherry Holt Road 01778 423 163 |
A sports bar in an industrial unit on the edge of Bourne. One of the best places worth visiting. Cheap drinks. Has full size Pool and Snooker tables, Live music, function room... We held Steph's 50th party there and have seen quite a few bands there, they had an impressive "Casino Night" there.. Roulette, Blackjack, Poker table... | |
| Smiths 25 North Street 01778 426 819 |
My God, not cheap, in fact dearer than a lot of London bars - BUT, one of the best places in Bourne to meet people. Nice surroundings, often has live music. | |
| The Jubilee 30 North Street 01778 392700 |
Owned by the owner of Smiths, but
sensibly priced.. Aimed at a younger clientele. Open until 3am on
Friday and Saturday nights. The meals there (up until 9pm) are great
value, the menu choices are slightly limited - but I prefer 7-8 well
made dishes to 20-30 average ones. Excellent dining! Worth a visit (Spoilt slightly by the ladies loos in disrepair) |
|
| The Firkin 36 North Street 01778 422 509 |
Opposite Smiths, cheap as chips, real ale. Basically a converted cafe, a great place to start a night out on the town despite feeling like you are drinking in an over lit doctors waiting room | |
| The Nags Head (and The Loft) Abbey Road |
Downstairs is a newly refurbished pub which is a cross between a pub and a restaurant. Excellent deals on "2 for the price of 1" meals. Upstairs is a Night Club which often has a late licence. Sadly there is a lack of restaurant "atmosphere", trying to have dinner when someone is playing the one armed bandit in your ear. | |
| The RED (The Red Lion) 14 South Street |
hard to describe, more a sports bar which regularly has a disco, has quite a good scene, | |
