 * So I’ve been looking for plugins that add a custom post type widget, however 
   all I can find are widgets that output lists.
 * What I need is a widget that outputs the content of a post type. No title, no
   meta, just the content.
 * Can anyone show me how to put this together please? The post type is called StrapLine

 * Use Display Posts Shortcode plugin, it provides many possibilities to pull out
   content (see Available Parameters). In this case, just use it with your selected
   post type and indicates not to display title or anything. Just so you know, since
   WordPress 4.9 widget area allows shortcode automatically, so there is no need
   for user to enable it via function.

 * That was quick, thanks for the reply.
    That plugin looks like it will do the 
   trick, I’ll take a look when I get in from work tonight.
