Lincoln's Tea and Coffee Shoppe in South Norfolk

Situated next to the Antiques shop, this small cafe has all the naughty treats you need on a wet summer’s day. We only stopped for a drink but the homemade cakes and savoury’s look tantalisingly nice, so we’ll go back another time to check them out.

Three of us went to Lincoln’s for lunch. Service was excellent. However two of the three meals ordered were not up to the standard expected. The beef in the steak pie was tough and required a lot of chewing. The Mushroom Stroganoff was tasteless without any distinguishable seasoning. However, the Jacket Potato served with beans, cheese on the side (as requested) and salad was perfect. When the waitress came to collect our plates, two of my friends complained about their meals which was acknowledged and she said the comments would be passed on. However, on making payment, (we paid separately), a full charge was made and no offer of discount was mentioned regarding the poor quality of the meat in the pie. My friend asked about a discount as payment was taken and so she called a colleague who came out and told my friend that six other covers had been served that day and not one had complained. We were all very surprised at her comment and so she returned a couple of pounds to my friend. We then complained about her attitude and said at the very least she could have apologised for the poor quality and offered a discount of say 20%. When my other friend mentioned her Stroganoff was not what she expected, she was told “that’s our take on Mushroom Stroganoff”. She then got quite irate and returned the full amount that my friend had paid. Wished us Merry Christmas and walked away. Shocked and dismayed at her comments, we certainly won’t be returning to Lincoln’s.

Went for Sunday lunch..the beef was as tough as old boots! Told the young waitrose quietly..she just said "oh right" nothing else. The pudding was very good but the roast let the meal down. When we went to pay there was no apology and no offer of a slight discount..DO NOT go for the beef!

Excellent service. We ordered Chicken Caesar Salad aad a full Engkush breakfast. Both delicious and nicely presented. Lovely location.

Plus points: very good service and plenty of cheese in the cheesy chips. Not so good: mould on the window by our table, the coffee was bitter, the Coke was flat, no granary baguettes and the rest of the food was average They did refund the coffee but we didn't feel comfortable complaining about the other points. The quality and value here used to be very good but over the last few years it has become somewhat average. I'm not sure what has caused this but it's such a shame.

Had the Festive Afternoon Tea today, it was lovely, certainly one of the best afternoon teas we have had. The staff were friendly, the venue was clean and welcoming, we had party hats on our table to get us in the festive mood. Would definitely recommend.

Disappointed !!! Is an understatment ..... Food luke warm, cold seating and unaccomodating/unfriendly kitchen staff..... There are much friendlier warmer more accommodating cafes that will welcome your custom

Had a superb medium English breakfast. Cooked so perfectly. Very friendly staff. Look forward to coming again. Just eating some plum and elderflower cake that we took away. Absolutely delicious

Small tea shop in centre of village with plenty of nearby parking. Clean and tidy. Good choice on the menu. We went in at lunch time. Everything on the menu you would expect. Meat and veg, Fish. Vegan, Paninis. We had the all day breakfast, which was perfect.

This was our 5th visit and we have enjoyed it hence our return again.However unless you love mustard dont order the welsh rarebit as it was so strong it spoilt the whole taste so much i couldnt eat it.Thats the recipe i was told rather curtly and still had to pay for something i found inedible.It may be a matter of taste but not many would have been able to eat the over powering taste of hot mustard.Sorry Lincolns not a good way to treat your customers my friend i took for the first time wasnt impressed either.

My husband and I stopped here when passing through Hingham with our young daughter. We had a delightful lunch. Portions were good, I had a pie which was very tasty and we took a slice of cake home which was lovely and fresh too.

Staying at the nearby campsite, we took a walk into Hingham for a light lunch. We both chose a sandwich. The bread was lovely and fresh and the fillings tasty. Complicated with side salad and homemade coleslaw, we both left stuffed. What a little treasure of a find this place is. Well worth a visit.

This is my second visit ovr a period of 3 years. This time was very disappointing, Food was not fresh, supermarket standard. Covid guidance of distance does not exist. We were placed less than a meter way from two tables, very uncomfortable . Sorry but not away to treat your much needed custom.

Had made two visits for lunch, we enjoyed both meals very much. Service was excellant and the food was very fresh and vibrant. They lovely cakes and scones.

Called here whilst on first holiday after lockdown. The staff and service were excellent as was the food . Good Covid procedures in place and a nice place to stop for a snack or a meal. Interesting village too.

We stopped here recently for tea and scones, to eat outside. The tea came in a pot, always a big plus from me, and tasted lovely. The service was prompt, the scones tasty with plenty of butter. Shame we got caught out with the British weather and got a bit wet. Look forward to going again and sitting inside!

Cute little place, good food and reasonably priced, cosy atmosphere and covid secure with cleaning in place and tables marked off for social distancing

We visited for breakfast and sat outside. We sat on one of the wooden benches. We were away from the road and had a lovely view of the green. The building is small inside but they had tables available outside. Hand sanitizer was available outside of the building. Lovely, sweet cafe!

Great food and lovely staff.well worth the stop. The chilli was great and the coffee was perfect. Just try it

Just wondering why someone who rated this place the worst place to eat and wouldn’t recommend it came back again 2 months later to say the same thing The way that you have stepped up during this pandemic and offered a full range of food, delivered fresh has meant a lot to so many people. keep up the good work.

I have no idea where the previous reviewer went to have the experience they had, but I doubt it was Lincolns Coffee Shoppe and Bistro.Lincolns is a family run business with only the customers first class eating experience at heart. You are always welcomed with a smile, shown to your table in normal circumstances, the food arrives piping hot and very pleasing to the eye. If you have special dietary requirements the chef will alway do his best to make sure your eating experience equates to that of the other diners. During the COVID 19 situation they have provided an excellent take away service with full social distancing observed, hand sanitiser and tempting cakes to make Lockdown tolerable. Extra measures have now been put in place to secure both the customers safety and theirs.They provide an excellent Sunday lunch menu, picnics and afternoon teas all to take away and enjoy at your leisure, as well as the usual day to day menu. As for the comment that the staff were rude: I have been a customer of Lincolns for a long time, as have many devotees and never witnessed or experience rudeness. I would go as far as to say that the front of house staff wouldn't know how to be rude. That is of course unless the customer was so unpleasant to them or spoiling other diners experience, they would have a right to reply.

Ordered a picnic for my husband's birthday. The sandwiches were delicious and well presented. The cake was so good as well. Good service on the phone. Would definitely use again.

Rude horrible poor food and unhelpful staff dint go here ever worst caffe in Norfolk without a doubt

Very nice, welcoming tearooms. Friendly and efficient service, lovely freshly cooked food and good coffee. Reasonably priced. Always busy which must be a good sign. Well worth a visit.

Popped in mid morning for coffee and scones; cheese scone was excellent and my fruit scone with fresh butter in a dish (rather than pre-wrapped portion) and raspberry jam was delicious. Latte in tall glass as you expect.

Worst coffee shop in Norfolk for food and service rude owner and awfull coffee served cold and tasteless

What a lovely welcoming comfortable establishment. My husband and I called for an early afternoon tea, blueberry and hazelnut cake, and a delicious rhubarb and ginger scone, they were so good I had two. Lovely large pot of freshly brewed tea, all served promptly and courteously. The lovely lady who served us advised all products are made by themselves. We were also delighted to see they have a good selection of gluten free cakes, a lunch/light snack menu, which was of good value. Highly recommend, we will be back if only for tea and scones...The picture only shows one scone, had already tucked into the other one, yummy, really yummy.

Called without booking ,were welcomed and provided with the best meal of the week during our stay .Pork loin with plums was hot and tasty as was the fish all with a variety of fresh vegetables.summer berry crumble and ginger cheesecake with ice cream were a treat all at a reasonable price.Well done indeed.

We held our mums wake here today and not only was the food fabulous but the staff were so respectful of the function being held. The whole restaurant was closed for our needs to enable us to pay our respects undisturbed by other patrons. The buffet was truly amazing with a huge variety of food beautifully presented and of wonderful quality - their brownies are sublime. I cannot rate it high enough. Thank you to you all.

We held a wake for my Mother’s funeral at the tea rooms on Thursday 25th July. It was truly perfect. Just what my mum would have loved. The food was absolutely delicious and all freshly made. Jo and her husband were so helpful and accommodating right from the word go, catering for any of our guests with allergen requirements including a coeliac. They adjusted their standard menu to suit our needs. They had an alcohol licence which was ideal for our needs as well. They rearranged the tea room to accommodate our guests and even put chairs and tables outside for us. It was a very sad occasion for my family but they did us proud and with the excellent food, quality of service, and wonderful friendliness and helpfulness of the owners, I truly cannot sing their praises enough. My family and I thank them for all they did and I look forward to visiting again in happier circumstances. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating such a wonderful place for a wake.

We visit Lincoln’s for Sunday lunch regularly. Every time we go the Sunday lunch is exceptional, lots of hot veg, crispy roast potatoes, fluffy Yorkshire puddings and lashings of hot rich gravy.

Took my wife here for her birthday. Five of us had afternoon tea with glasses of Prosecco. All I can say is WOW. The food was exceptional, the service first class and what wonderful value. We have had many afternoon teas but this one surpasses the lot. Not to be missed.....

Popped in for a late lunch with my daughter yesterday- what a great find! Good menu - service was good and meal served quickly. The only criticism I would have is that it was cold in there.

Ive been visiting regularly for over 2 yrs now and the service and food is second to none! I have no idea why anyone would leave a negative review, the scones are fresh and delicious and friendly staff welcoming! My favourite tea room and ive visited more than a few!

We visited here to try it out as an alternative to our normal cafe and we really liked this cafe. The menu was extensive with lots of choice. Food is made to order, so if you don't like something then it can be removed. There were some lovely cakes as well as some special scones. Service was fast and friendly. I would definitely be visiting again

This is the second time I’ve visited Lincoln’s. The first visit Was in the summer and I had a gooseberry and elderflower scone which was one of the best scones I’ve eaten. Second visit I wanted to try a main meal and dessert so went for Pork with Apple and Madeira sauce followed by rhubarb and orange roulade. I was not disappointed. It was so nice to have a varied selection of veg along side the tender pork steak and crispy sautéed potatoes. The roulade was to die for, soft marshmallow meringue with burnt sugar topping and a tart coulis. I couldn’t resist a coffee and date scone so took one away. This too was delicious. The lady who served us was friendly and very helpful even told me how she had made her scones. I will definitely be back.

Small cafe/restaurant. Lovely situation .Have visited twice. Once just for a mid morning coffee and then for Sunday Lunch. The first visit for coffee - it was very busy and we sat close to the till - a little cramped. The coffee was average and not as hot as we like. The teacake was standard and adequate. The restaurant was very busy again on the Sunday lunch visit .and again felt a little hemmed in. Service was friendly and efficient . The beef roast was good and the vegetables served on seperate dishes were varied and cooked correctly. The rest of our group had the chicken roast which again was okay but not brilliant. There were a range of desserts and they were very good. A pleasant meal but not memorable.

My husband and I were out working and were desperately hungry - we came upon this pretty village and discovered Lincoln's Tea and Coffee Shoppe. Although very tiny inside we were able to get a table for two and no sooner had we sat down than we were asked for our order. The owners do special meals of the day and also a full menu if you just want sandwiches etc. It was Halloween time and the cafe was decorated very tastefully. Well done to the staff and chef - a truly perfect find - hopefully we will return.

I like a scone, in fact it's my favourite treat when out for coffee. If, like me you enjoy one too, then don't go to Lincoln's. Very dry and stale and basically nasty. Surely most people know that you have to serve scones fresh and they cannot be saved for the next day [or the day after] Staff here are not friendly and rather look down their noses at you. Not a great experience, won't visit agin.

Rude and unhelpful staff. Dreadful service. Made to feel uncomfortable throughout our stay. People sitting on the table next to us could not believe how rude staff were to us. I was too scared to use the toilet. Scones were expensive - much prefer Yaxham waters cafe.

Lovely cafe for a snack or more. The most delicious scone i’ve ever had. Freshly made with green and red gooseberries, drizzled with a little icing and sprinkled with almonds.

First visit here having lived nearby for 13 yrs , fantastic breakfast super value and produce excellent service lovely and clean definitely will visit again

We visited on a Saturday afternoon and enjoyed a pot of tea and delicious homemade scones. The tearoom is quite small but there is extra seating outside with views over the village green - charming.

Family matters required a short notice lunch for eight people, coming from far and wide, and on a Bank Holiday. And three of them needed GF menus. Lincolns said "No problem". So we all turned up and received really great and personal service.

popped in on a cold snowy Saturday lunchtime - my first visit. Very impressed an extensive menu all very reasonably priced, The food was very tasty and well presented, Will definitely visit again

I have been before some 20 years ago but we moved away.

We stopped here, while house hunting. Excellent value ,friendly staff and a varied menu. Really good experience would go back anytime we are in the area.

excellent food at reasonable prices with lovely staff. Home made soup was excellent as was my friends eggs benedict

Popped in for a quick cuppa whilst helping my daughter move house. Although we just had a drink the place was spotless and the cakes on offer looked delicious. Maybe we’ll try some next time

I live locally and sometimes go into Lincolns for breakfast, coffee or Sunday lunch. The food has always been very good and the service efficient and pleasant. Sunday lunch is reasonably priced and tasty and the breakfast has a good variety of choice ranging between English and Continental. In the summer it's nice to sit at the tables outside at the front of the cafe with a nice view of the village green!

The tea shop is in an excellent location with parking outside, however, the food was really disappointing. I have thought carefully about this review before posting. I did discuss the food with the staff as it was so bad. Jacket potato with egg mayonnaise was just a mush of unappetising runny egg mixture covering a jacket potato, which was running into the salad leaves. The plate was a small oval one with too much food crammed on it to appealing. The "chicken roast" of the day with veg was equally unappetising with very overcooked veg and reheated roast potatoes. The gravy was awful. Many people were having large rolls with chips and salad leaves, with lots of chips and bread left on the plate. In conclusion, I would suggest this may be a good spot for a tea or soft drink, however, some improvement is needed with the food preparation and presentation.

We stopped in here for lunch one Sunday and had the Sunday roast. The meal was excellent and the shop (although small) was packed out. The service was good and the pricing was really reasonable. Recommend booking if you want to try their Sunday roast....

Hoy mi esposa y yo visitamos de Lincoln, y nos sentimos muy incómodos. Hemos visitado tres veces antes en nuestras bicicletas, uno de estos con nuestro club ciclo y siempre hemos disfrutado. Hoy casi nos cruzamos en haber sido acogido por señalización básicamente decía que...

Mi hijo tomó su madre y para mí el té de la tarde. El servicio era excelente, así como la variedad y la calidad y cantidad de la comida. Nos pegan con té de disminución del proseco.

Parking can be tricky but worth a walk back from market square past church, i lived in hingham so know it well popular with cyclists and if dry sit out side and watch the world go by there are bench seats for after tea or lunch on the green , right next to the original HARRODS SHOP .amd close to antique and craft cooperatives and a local artist studios just ask

Me encantó el salmón muy fresco y sándwiches de queso crema con ensalada. Mis tres amigos tenían baguette igualmente deliciosos sándwiches, panini y atún. La camarera fue muy amable, y toda la experiencia de comer era precioso.

Have been to this particular establishment several times and the meal us tasty and good value for money.

Didn't have time to stop so ordered a granary baguette and a slice of cake from the takeaway menu. The food was fresh, well presented and the service excellent. Absolutely delicious and if the food inside is as good as the takeaway then I would thoroughly recommend.

Visited on Saturday for afternoon tea. Good selection of sandwiches on super fresh bread. Lovely little scones with cream and good quality jam. Delicious crisp meringues lovely eclairs and a very good victoria sandwich. Washed down with a bottle of cava and of course tea. So much food we had to have two doggy bags.Excellent service as always. At £12 a head you cannot fail to be impressed. Have paid a lot more for food of this quality in a lot of places,in fact I've paid a lot more for food not up to this standard. Have also been here for breakfast and the full English is extremely good, proper sausages! Hate cheap sausages. Would have given 5 stars if wasn't for the fact that I always find it a little bit on the cool side in there , but that might just be me. Cannot understand how anyone could say this place is expensive,perhaps they would be better going to a catering van in a layby somewhere. Looking forward to another tea when one of my friends has a birthday although as we were so impressed we may have to go back just for the sake of it!

Often visit for lunch, a meal or just a scone and coffee. Faultless and far superior quality of food to the white hart for a lot better price.If you want to go on a Sunday for a roast. I recommend you book in advance as the place is usually booked.Food is always fresh, well presented, reasonably price with variety from snacks and light lunches to a Sunday roast.Highly recommended and the best place in hingham by far.

Old fashioned (not necessarily a negative) but a bit boring as well, staff very 'bland' on the day I visited. Optimistic prices due to the fact that it's in a conservation village, would be my guess. Coffee price looks good until you see the size of the cup, at which point it becomes deliberately mean and also disappointing. Could be lovely but appears lethargic, which is a shame. Probably very popular with 'ladies who lunch'.

Service a little slow and a tad expensive, but nice food and good for somewhere to eat when passing though.

We , a work colleague (and friend), celebrate surviving another week at work by visiting Lincoln's. You will find a range of tea and coffee as to be expected from a village café but we have always found the quality beyond the average. Not many tea rooms in my experience serve an absolutely perfect smoked salmon and poached egg salad followed by a fresh lime cheesecake. We go for a quick take out lunch with a mug of coffee but there are more substantial meals if you need something more sustaining. Hingham is a working and unspoilt little town very much rural England at it's best. A visit will always be made more enjoyable with coffee and cake, if that is what you are in need of you can rely on the team at Lincoln's to hit the spot

lovely place great staff. great meals and the best scones in the world! excellent choice. good coffee nice to sit out side.

Visited Lincoln's yesterday with my husband and granddaughter. As it was a beautiful day we were able to sit outside with a lovely view of the church.I ordered chicken in a creamy mushroom and garlic sauce which was served with new potatoes and a selection of vegetables. The others had the medium breakfast (which is served all day.)We were all really pleased with our choice and the service was excellent. Praise must be given to the staff who were extremely pleasant. There were obviously a number of regular diners which I always think is a good sign.Would highly recommend Lincoln's.

Lunch here whilst showing friends from USA around locally, everyone's meals were lovely, shame we didn't have time to sample the fabulous cakes on offer too. Will be back.

Well this was a surprise in this lovely little village.Spotlessly clean and the service was excellent. Choice on the menu was good and food presented well.Made good use of the limited space.Will definetley be going back for a return visit.

Passed Lincoln's loads of times in Hingham. Decided to stop for a coffee and bite to eat. Best decision of the day. Food and service was excellent. Will definitely be calling in again. A hidden gem.

A little gem. We have in fact been coming for years. Superb home made food and excellent service. Highly recommend. Ideal for anything from a quick snack or a full home cooked meal. Sunday lunch is particularly recommend, but suggest you book.

Easy to find in the centre of the very pretty village Hingham, the Lincoln's is a very friendly appealing place. The service was excellent, the food made to order, obviously fresh and very tasty. I am looking forward to my next visit.

Was out on a long bike ride and stopped here for a refuel. Excellent food and superb service. It's not always welcomed to eat in cycling gear but the ladies here really were super friendly. Will return for sure what more can a man want good food and good conversation.

My husband has visited here with his cycling club and had praised the service so brought me along to form my own opinion and I had to agree! There is outside seating but we choose to sit in the warm inside! There are tub seats in the front room with the counter and kitchen at the rear of this room but if you walk through an opening to the left there are plenty of tables and chairs in a further clean and fresh looking room! Our order was taken at the table. My husband had a cream tea whilst I choose a mocha and a slice of coffee and pecan cake - delicious! Whilst we were in there a couple were enjoying a large bowl of soup and baguette whilst another table were each tucking into an all day breakfast! They have a licence so sell alcohol to have with your meal! They do a two course Sunday Lunch too! It is run by Jo and Dan who are very friendly! A lovely destination after a ride out in the country!

A group of us had Sunday lunch here. We noted all tables were reserved therefore casual arrivals were unlucky. A popular venue and the owners pull the stops out to give fresh home cooked meals, desserts and cakes. Impressive quality and all served promptly with plenty of gravy and vegetables. We were able to eat gluten free here which is a bonus as the chef understands the concept of separate preparation. Thank you for an enjoyable meal and reasonably priced, pleasantly served.

Had breakfast with my daughter and breakfast was cooked to perfection and I know I am fussy with my eggs but I can honestly say breakfast was cooked perfectly .. Alison & Sally.

Wanted somewhere to have a lunch in Hingham and did it want the White Hart menu.Surprised by the extent of the lunch menu and its choices of hot food, sandwiches, baguettes etc... Staff very friendly and restaurant very busy.Good choice, good food, good value.

Stopped here for lunch and had great fish and chips. Freshly cooked, crispy batter and wonderful chips. Also great decaf coffee which is unusual in a small coffee shop like this one. Previously also had a good Sunday lunch. Would whole heartedly recomment.

Had a full English breakfast and a latte and it was gorgeous. Very good value for money and was a huge plate of food

The cafe was very clean and tidy, the food was excellent and the lady serving was helpful and friendly

We ate lunch here on Sept 19th. Food, location and service were all great. It is located just off Fairgreen and across the main road from the church. It is called the Lincoln Tea Shoppe as Lincoln's ancestors came from Hingham centuries ago. The atmosphere was that of a true English tearoom - cosy and pleasant. Decor was light and airy. Great find. We'll eat there again.

I called in whilst on a long bike ride. Service was good, coffee cake good, prices very reasonable and they happily topped up my water bottle too. What more could I want?

We stopped off in here for a quick lunch and we're glad we did.The food was really good (toasted sandwiches) and I had a latte that was very good.Well priced and a good spot to lunch at - def recommend.

Lovely little cafe, nice service, varied selection and great cup cakes! I had a toasted sandwich which was lovely with plenty of salad trimming and the cup cake was delicious with a lovely pot of tea.

Having said I wouldnt go back, I was passing we did... Has improved from a poor to a very good( I would say good but its not an option).This is because I had lunch which was... Very good, home cooked butchers ham, beautifully cooked eggs and lovely crispy non fatty chips... The salmonand cream cheese sandwiches had plenty of filling and served with generous and appetising garnish.The tea was good but the coffee not quite so good.We asked for extra water and got itwithout protest( it would be nice if tea shops and cafes would just offer this as a matter of course).The service was very friendly and helpful and I would go back after my previous not so good experience but I still wouldnt risk the scones!!

Extremely high quality food, unbelievably delicious cakes made with love and expertise. A warm welcome who really care about high quality food and service. Top drawer, thank you!

Lunch here, good value and good food with quick service, ideal for lunch. It's a cafe so cafe type food but a good selection, orders taken quickly and good quality ingredients. Lots of home made choices so ideal.

Having booked a table and looking forward to nice Saturday lunch,my Husband and I were served the worst lasagne EVER.it was burnt hard obviously reheated times,could even cut the top

This village is where Abraham Lincoln's family orginated from before going to immigrating to the new country.A small place to have a snack or main meal but very cosy. All the food is excellent but the steak and kidney puddings are out of this world very tasty full of meat and kidneys plus the lovely brown thick gravy. Boy what a feast with mash potatoes.A very well worth visit, best to telephone to make sure there are steam puddings available.

Small but friendly service and good food, nicely presented.Menu is quite varied, given the size of the place, and seating and table comfy. would certainly go again :)

Booked for valentines meal. Due to my husband's job I had to change the time , then cancel then we were able to go so book again. Nothing was a problem to the staff, when I cancelled the lady on phone asked if I would like them to make me something to collect and have at home so I wouldn't go without dinner, which I thought was so thoughtful. When we did get there the service was brilliant and the food was lovely, It just shows you don't have to go far for excellent food and service.Will return.

Lovely lunch with a friend, jacket potatoes are delicious and the bread and butter pudding sooooo moreish. Great service. Looking forwrd to Valentines night there,

Had lunch with my husband whilst spending the day in Hingham. Delicious jacket potato and ham toastie. Very friendly staff, polite and smiley. Coffee was good too.

I was only here for an hour, for a coffee and cake with a work colleague and while the place looks welcoming enough on arrival, the cake was stale. The chocolate cake I ordered arrived warm, which means they might have microwaved it to hide the staleness, but it really wasn't good. I had a decent enough decaf filter coffee but for the price I would have liked more than one small cup. A cafetiere is normal for a coffee shop. I'll be hesitant to return. The waitress at no stage checked up on us either.

This is a small and unpretentious cafe/restaurant in the pleasant village of Hingham. We had stopped there for coffee recently and noticed that they do Sunday lunch so went back today. The 2 course traditional roast is excellent value, the portions are generous and the food well cooked and presented.They are closing next week, 2 to 9 September for redecoration so clearly keeping the place up to scratch. Couldn't fault it and will definitely be going back.

I have here several times for lunch and its always been OK bordering on good, but I will not return.I had a cream tea which consisted of one scone, jam, butter and cream and a small pot of tea... Which cost well over £4. But the scone was inedible, it was rock solid and dry as a desert.iI took it back and was served by a very polite waitress who ask apologised and asked if I wanted anything else.I said I would like a freshly baked one and she said that they were fresh that morning..Who are they trying to kid? Either it was untrue or they need to have a masterclass in scone making! I did not pay for the scone and I wont go back

A colleague and I dropped in for lunch and were delighted with the standard of service, the quality of the food and it was reasonably priced too.We arrived quite early but unsurprisingly by the time we left there was not a free table inside or out.It is definitely on my map for future occasions when passing through.Well done.

Ideal location to meet people either for light refreshments or lunch. Homemade food presented well and good service. Evening bistro offer and special evenings offer good quality fare at a good price.

Always had nice food here, nothing amazing and would never plan to go there but is nice to pop in if i'm around the area. Does nice soups, sandwiches, milkshakes etc. Good for kids too. Very small but if it's all you want its ideal. If you wanted to pay more and go somewhere fancier I would recommend The White Hart just around the corner.

We visit for lunch 2 or 3 times a year and always find the food good and reasonably priced.Its a pleasant, clean and friendly place and service is quick. Recommended!

We had lunch for eight on Sunday, my vegetarian cheese pancakes were full of flavour, followed by a scrummy obviously home made lemon and blueberry sponge with lots of custard.The whole party really enjoyed there lunches. great service, great value will be returning.Just wish they had a full evening service.

We happened to be going through Hingham and stopped for a coffee at Lincolns. The coffee and cake was delicious and on being told told that the Bistro was open on Friday and Saturday evenings we booked to go for dinner, thinking it would be a nice drive out through the country -about 50 minutes each way.The menu was interesting and our meals were wonderful. Perfectly cooked asparagus spears, with holandaise sauce and a poached egg on top, followed by tender steak for my partner and chicken with a herby jus for myself. These were accompanied by a selection of perfectly cooked vegetables. For sweet my partner had ice cream and I had a portion of Apple and Almond flan, which was delicious. The cost? £16.95 each for the three courses! Excellent value! The drinks were reasonably priced and service was good. The decor is very good and the place spotlessly clean. It was a lovely sunny evening out into the country. We would definitely recommend Lincolns Bistro at Hingham.
