Location, A15/A631 junction, directly north from Lincoln, and due south from the M180, it is on a roundabout at Caenby Corner, a major landmark, once known for the nearby Moncks arms where entertainment was put on. This is being refurbished, and looks good. Behind this pub is a transport cafe which I can recommend. Nearby is Market Rasen, where the races are held. Postcode for Satnav is LN8 2AS. Petrol and Diesel etc. is by Total.
The A15, is a Roman road, dead straight apart from the little wobble around the end of the runway at RAF Scampton, home of the Red Arrows. You may even see them doing a training flight In the summer months, there are car boot sales in the next field, and the Arrows are often seen overhead.
Scampton is of course where the Dam Busters operated from, and Guy Gibson's dog is still burried there, his grave tended by serving aircrews. You are in "Bomber county". Also nearby, is Hemswell, yet another old wartime aerodrome, now a massive antiques centre. Hemswell is also the site of one of the biggest Sunday markets in the country.
Now to the garage itself, access is easy, even for HGVs. They take all major credit and agency cards, and sell all fuels, including of course LPG. Apart from fuel, they have a very good selection of everything else you could wish from a garage, including a limited amount of food, sweets, small gifts, gas cylinders, newspapers & books, and of course smoking materials. In season, they sell barbeque coals, flowers, and have water and air on tap. If you need to ring them, the number is 01673 878254.
The garage is only small, and there is only a limited amount of room to park a couple of cars, so if you need to shop, do it while paying for fuel. The garage does not have a lot of custom, especially at night but it stays open 24 hours, even at weekends.
You may have seen the garage on the TV recently, a Porsche caught fire while being driven nearby, and so the driver thought it was a good idea to drive onto the forecourt for help! Yes the garage is still there!
The annoying thing is I have lost the price list for LPG, but they all tend to be around the same these days. It is certainly no more than anywhere else. The staff are particularly friendly, and willing to help. They know the local area and often assist "lost" drivers. ..

Quick review of Caenby Corner Garage, Lincolnshire
Having broke down about a mile from the garage in freezing conditions at 1am I walked to the garage for assistance. I asked to use the phone and the man said he didn't have one. I asked if he could tell me in which direction I could walk to find a phone and he said he had no idea. I said you work here but you cant tell me which direction to walk in in these freezing conditions and he helpfully said most people have mobile phones. HE WASN"T OFFERING TO LET ME USE HIS TO RING A FREE PHONE NUMBER. I walked from 1am to 3.30am.
Great service from this friendly garage. ...
