Bunty's Tearoom in Lincoln

Lovely tea rooms, but let down by the toilet. Had trouble negotiating the hill, so nice rest. Not far from the cathedral so a must stop on the way up or way down.

Great for a refreshment stop while taking in the sights of Lincoln or for when your just shopping, we discovered this gem of a tea shop when we came on holiday here about 9 years ago. When we moved here 4 years ago, we were delighted to find nothing had changed, Bunty's was still here & as gorgeous as ever! Whenever we pop into Lincoln, Bunty's is always a stop on our list of things to do. It has a lovely 1940's theme, with china tea cups, quirky tea pots & homemade cakes to die for! The welcome is always warm & it feels like stepping out of the modern world for a moment, back to a more relaxed, not rushed & cosy time. They have a loyalty card too so you get a free cuppa on your 8th visit. We can't wait for our next trip into Lincoln for the opportunity to visit our favourite tea shop again!

Having lived in Lincoln for a little while now, and having walked up Steep Hill quite a few times, I’d never set foot in Bunty’s before, so decided to visit for afternoon tea. We found the food to be very tasty, the service friendly and efficient and the decor/ambiance something a little different but enjoyable. We would definitely visit again and recommend to others 🙂

Lovely setting. Very welcoming Mother and Daughter. Home made food was delicious. Vintage, homely feel. Reminiscing of times with dad and mum and sone lovely Glenn Miller. Thankyou for a lovely valentines lunch.

We didn't realise until we were shown upstairs to a table, that this cafe is a shrine to the 1940's nostalgia. I hate fancy dress and I'm afraid the cluttered artifacts gave me the creeps. In particular a fake cake with blue icing under a dusty glass dome, awful. The toilet is retro bright blue but the seat is broken and wonky. The staff were nice enough and the cup of tea was lovely. We really disliked the surroundings though.

This unique cafe on the famous Steep Hill was just my cup of tea. Filled with nostalgia of a bygone era. It was a great place to snuggle in a cosy corner with my book as I was travelling solo. The staff were lovely , my lunch was delicious with fresh food followed by a lovely freshly baked cake all swilled down with a lovely creamy hot chocolate. Will definitely be back.

Excellent little cafe full ilof wonderful memorabilia which sets the scene. Great choice on the menu. We went with sandwiches which were fresh and full. Definitely coming back.

It’s at the top of Steep Hill in the city so you’ll have an appetite when you get there! We had a lovely breakfast. It’s a quirky little tea rooms that will fill people of a certain age with nostalgia. The ladies serving were dressed in lovely 1950’s clothes and the crockery was also very retro. The breakfast was freshly cooked and very well presented

Visited on a Thursday afternoon, staff very welcoming and attentive, cakes and drinks were very good and the tearoom is nicely decorated. Will be going back.

Bunty's is an excellent tea room on Steep Hill in Lincoln. We got there shortly before they were closing and were initially told that there was only limited food available. However, they then brought out some delightful scones and we had a very nice cream tea. Very friendly service. I would highly recommend Bunty's.

Thank you to All of the Bunty’s staff. As always a very warm and genuinely friendly welcome. Food is very tasty, service is excellent and cleanliness is always spot on. It’s always a pleasure to visit.

Disappointing Experience We were asked to wait outside for the table to be cleaned upon entering the tea room, a practice not limited to just us but applied to every visitor. Although tables were available! One customer was told to go and have a walk!! Once inside, we found the cake to be disappointingly dry and minute slices of cheese with the plum bread. Additionally, the coffee, though reasonable, was notably subpar. Overall, the experience left us with a sense of dissatisfaction and room for improvement.

I just love these little tea rooms, themed old fashioned surroundings are spot on. I have to have a gluten free diet and this was well catered for with excellent simple produce cooked and presented very well.

Delicious afternoon tea, very good portion sizes, we where very full, and didn't want to leave a mouthful, we will be returning soon

A lovely old fashioned tea room, full of character and charm. We had a cream tea and it was so delicious. All the serving staff were lovely and appeared happy to be there.

And another visit to our favourite tearooms in Lincoln where once again we had a warm welcome. This time we had the afternoon tea which is good value and tasty. As usual the cake selection was innovative and excellent. My daughter follows them on Insta...

Stopped here for a coffee and cake while sightseeing around the castle and cathedral. This is a lovely quirky place and the staff appeared to have dressed almost like the land girls from the war. It is not a very big place (I think they...

Had our small wedding reception here and we all love love love Bunty’s! Been here several times and they don’t disappoint at all, everything is delicious and the staff is wonderful!

Outstanding service and outstanding cake and scones. This is a great place for a tea stop while visiting Lincoln’s Steep Hill.

A great little cafe. Cosy atmosphere, lovely staff. Top notch tea. Yes, a good teapot and cup makes a difference. Our go to cafe when in Lincoln

The best place for tea and cake in Lincoln! My go to every time I visit while the boys are at football. Wonderful atmosphere, great people and amazing cakes! I always recommend here whenever anyone says they’re in Lincoln.

Bunty's Tearoom is situated halfway up the hill between the modern city centre and the cathedral quarter. On entering, you are struck by the decor which harks back to the second world war with old photographs on the walls and also on the tables. The...

Visited Buntys tea room based on Tripadvisor reviews, we were not disappointed. Service was excellent, setting was nostalgic even to Buntys teams outfits, the food was amazing especially the Apple & Blackberry crumble cake 😋😋

Lovely tearoom. Gorgeous scones with cream and jam accompanied with great service. Lovely decor of times gone by Highly recommended

Nice setting however the soup was a modest portion with cheap thin bread which came without butter. Cold drink served with warm glass.

Lovely gluten free scones served by a very nice young girl in war time clothes. We will definitely return.

Visited today, it was very busy but didn't wait long for a table. The staff were lovely and food very enjoyable. The decor inside is really unique & all makes for a lovely experience. Will visit again when in Lincoln.

The afternoon tea here is delicious and the slices of cake are very generous! The tearoom is full of character and offers great service and wonderful food, it is easy to understand why it is so popular. I highly recommend a visit.

This is a charming little place - it’s like stepping back in time. The hostess was super friendly and sweet. They have great options for people with dietary restrictions- I had a gluten free cream scone - and it was delicious. - my friend had...

Lovely cafe, very friendly staff. Tea and scones were delicious. Plum bread and cheese was also delicious.

It has been a while since we have had the opportunity to visit Bunty’s. However, we took part in a free walking guided tour of Lincoln, (lincolnfreewalkingtour) and decided to have afternoon tea here afterwards. This is a small tea room and gets very busy, you may have to wait for a table, but it is well worth the wait. We did not have to wait and got a table straight away. The staff are very friendly and welcoming here, and we really did enjoy our afternoon tea. I had the gluten free afternoon tea including the delicious chocolate cake. For those with a gluten intolerance there is lots of choices on the menu. I would definitely recommend visiting.

Best bacon sandwich ever!!! We come to Lincoln as a quick getaway and always come to Bunty’s. Love the food, the place and the staff have become friends. Why go anywhere else?!?

Me and my partner came in to get out of the rain, and I’m so glad we did! The staff and atmosphere were lovely , the drinks were so good, there were so many options and it was incredibly calming

We had a really good cup of tea and Lincolnshire Plum Bread delicious. Very pleasant staff. Couldn’t fault it at all. The shop sold a good variety of food and teas, would definitely visit again

We popped into Bunty’s having seen on TripAdvisor that they were good with allergies, to see what they could offer. After a chat with the owner whereby we told her our son has a severe milk allergy, she said she would bake her vegan chocolate...

Amazing food, best egg mayo salad sandwich ever. Divine Victoria sponge. Food was so fresh. Well worth a visit, attentive staff. Gorgeous interior with lovely collection of teapots. Definitely recommend and will certainly visit again when in Lincoln

Afternoon tea is plenty tasty and rich for fair prices, the tea room only has four tables, guess one needs to be lucky, the scones are wonderful

1940s/1959s vibe. Mismatched China with quirky teapots. Lincolnshire plum bread with cheese and chutney - yum! Coronation sandwich delicious. Hard to resist cakes and fabulous service.

Fabulous local fayre….plum cake with cheese, and scones and cream, washed down with tea and coffee…….heaven!! Lovely, friendly homely service.

sausage cob not very nice. baked tate and drnksi ok. the staff were polite and friendly. nice clean place not very big ,

Beautiful little tea room. Absolutely loved it. Thankyou 😊 Great service. Lovely food and drink and a good price too.

We come to Lincoln just for Bunty’s. The best bacon sandwich on the planet!! Then, if we have space, the cakes!! Amazing selection and always different. We’ve been coming that often we consider the staff to be friends!!

Now, this is interesting. A lovely cafe, staff all dressed up in 40’s gear, memorabilia of the 40’s in the windows. So, a great bow to nostalgia. BUT we casually mentioned that we used the read a comic in the 60’s called Bunty’s - THE...

I'm currently sitting in Bunty's and having such a lovely time. They take such pride in their food - the homemade coleslaw with my jacket potato was delicious. And the potato itself was properly done in the oven. The cafe is so quirky and they...

Delicious vegan chocolate cake and Cappuccino. All the cakes are wonderfully homemade and lovely friendly staff who made us feel so welcome.

Lovely 1940s vintage tearoom on Steep Hill. Delicious cakes. Cramped inside and very popular so there is often a queue outside, but worth it for the ambience, food and decor.

Delicious cakes and lovely afternoon! Feel exonerated for the calorie overload, but the trek up the steep hill. You can drop off the less agile at the door then park!

Amazing little tearoom, love the 1940s aesthetics. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, the food is top notch and so delicious! Would highly highly recommend! (Was enjoying everything so much I forgot to take pictures XD)

Cute little cafe where the staff are really friendly. Good selection on the menu and prices are reasonable. Cafe is small and cosy with 2 tables on ground level and more upstairs. Will always try to accommodate but might be a bit tight for large...

We had afternoon cream tea, scones were delicious, there is something special about having tea from a flowery teapot and cups, in a lovely tea room celebrating the 1940’s & 1950’s with a family feel

Great for afternoon tea. Unusual WW2 theme. Sandwiches are very nice and the homemade cakes are to die for. Service was excellent and the waitress very polite. We had to wait 15 minutes for a table, as it is a small place with only about...

I had the Gluten free Cherry Bakewell which was really nice. I also had a pot of tea served in a China cup. This place is really good. The staff are friendly too

Amazing atmosphere, friendly staff, beautiful decor and great food. Always feels like a treat to come to Bunty's. Plenty of Gluten Free options that are actually enjoyable (which is a rarity). A lovely haven on the way back down Steep Hill.

We woke up late and decided to come visit on a whim. Greeted by a wonderfully cozy environment, ornamented with all sorts of pretty china, knick-knacks and treasures. Bunty is a lovely host and took good care of us. Great chat, amazing afternoon tea and...

Stumbled across this tea room this morning by accident. Omg so glad we did! Beats Mcds/Greggs anyday (although i do enjoy every now and again lol). We had breakkie, coffee and cake. Everything was just perfect, pipping hot, homemade and delish. Absolutely recommend this place...

We stayed with our friend who lives just outside Lincoln this weekend and visited Bunty’s for a late lunch. We had possibly the best afternoon tea we’ve ever had (and between us we’ve had a LOT!) with our choice of sandwiches, cakes and fruit or...

A wonderful tea room set in a bygone period, delicious cakes and such friendly and polite staff , thoroughly enjoyed my visit and highly recommend to any visitors to the city

Execellent friendly service and a proper tea shop. You can see the attention it detail as soon as you walk in. Gluten Free , Dairy Free and Vegan options including afternoon tea. Certainly recommended

Beautiful, just what we needed. Skipped past the chains of cafés and made it up the hill to this little treasure. Plum loaf, butter, cheese and chutney... gorgeous!!

Amazing little tea room,beautifully decorated. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Scones are amazing.

One of my favourite spots to go up the hill! Nostalgic, cosy, delicious food and drinks and lovely staff! The vegan menu is brilliant and the tea pots and little spoons make my day! Perfect to go in alone or with friends for afternoon tea!

Perfect slice of British life .. located half way up the perfectly named steep hill .. a 1940s themed slice of much missed Britain .. tea was perfect . Cake was fantastic and the young lady serving was great .. thank you .. you made...

This is a gem of a place. We pre-booked as a large party and they were so helpful in giving us advice where to go in Lincoln. They even rang and booked the restaurant for us for the evening meal! The food was delicious and...

Tasty afternoon tea served in vintage china cups with excellent service. Particularly enjoyed Coronation Chicken sandwich! Teas and cakes only from 3.00pm until close.

We enjoyed scone and coffee in this lovely little tea room decorated with traditional English decor. Recommend a stop here as you walk the steep hill.

What a lovely tea room this is, with a 1940s theme. Such friendly staff, took an interest in us. Drinks served quickly. We didn't have any thing to eat but the cakes looked delicious. Would definitely visit again if in the area.

Visited buntys for the first time , a lovely charming tea room very friendly service We were totally relaxed and enjoyed our pots of tea and sandwiches Will definitely return on our next visit to Lincoln

They made my daughter a 21st birthday cake. It was the most delicious red velvet ever!!!! Faye and her team were so helpful, as we live in cheshire but daughter at uni in lincoln. The cafe is so cosy, lovely staff and tasty food.

Excellent. With a 40’s vibe, proper tea pots, tea leaves and a strainer, a great place. The cakes were delicious. The staff are superb. Loved it

Popped in for a cuppa and simply couldn't resist the temptation of a cream tea of warm fruit scones, strawberry jam and traditional clotted cream accompanied by a pot of tea served in pretty cups. A really enjoyable treat served by friendly staff in a...

Thank you Faye for the wonder Birthday Cake we picked up on Saturday , it looked fantastic and tasted amazing our guests enjoyed every bite. From start to finish the service has been spot on.

This is such a special place and if you have to queue for a while then please do - don't walk on! Staff are great and Fay is always so upbeat and great to talk to. The cakes are a creation and original. I swear...

Nice tea room with a 1940s themed decor throughout. Reasonably priced food. Would recommend a visit. Located on Steep Hill so a welcome stop on upwards journey

A World War I themed tearoom where we had the Plum bread with cheese and chutney, sounds a weird combination but was really tasty. The pots of tea for one were a very good size. But the thing that struck me the most was the...

A fantastic place offering the best service and food I’ve found around here. Well worth the walk up the hill, the vegan cake is my favourite but others are available

Fabulous theme inside, it's lovely. Amazing cream tea, much needed after that hill!! Lovely owner, great customer service.

An impromptu lunch. The staff were dressed in forties style clothes and were very friendly. First time we had tried plum loaf with cheese and chutney and were pleasantly surprised. Would recommend this tea room.

Lovely little cafe, lovely location, lovely food! Quite adaptable to dietary needs - I had a gluten-free scone and a coffee with soya milk. Friendly staff. There were lots of very tempting cakes on offer too.
