The Sweyn Forkbeard recalls the early 11th Century King of Denmark, who set out to conquer England from Gainsborough, where he was later killed.

In 1013, Sweyn Forkbeard sailed up the River Trent and camped his armies at Gainsborough.

Leaving his son Canute in charge, he proceeded to conquer the country.

However, a few weeks after his arrival, Sweyn was killed in Gainsborough, in the early part of 1014.

The pub was named the Gainsborough Standard’s pub of the year earlier this year.

Readers can take up this offer of a free tea or filter coffee, worth 99p, by simply taking the voucher from this week’s Standard and presenting it at the time of purchase from Thursday, August 27, until Wednesday, September 2.
