Lincolnshire Poacher in Lincoln

Lovely local pub with a nice atmosphere, love the addition of the charity hamper! Fab service from Chloe, very friendly and served us with a smile 😊

This was an amazing meal and I loved it especially the drink 👌😊 they should put the drink onto the options that you get 😋

Have just been for a bird meal and arrived early, no problem the waitress said and sat us straight down. Ordered food and within 10 minutes it was at the table. Good quality and quite reasonable price. Staff were great. Will be going back soon.

Great service and great food. Definitely recommend

Friendly staff , good food and service

Unless your going to the weekly quiz dont go on a wednesday night. Popped in for a meal on our wedding anniversary and was very lucky to get a table that was'nt reserved for quizzers. Also, no Guinness, not enough ordered apparently. I had gammon with 2 eggs, both eggs were rock hard.

Visited on a Sunday, and although the online reservation system lost our booking for 8, the staff couldn't have been more helpful and got us a table. Food was lovely pub food, good portions. Thank you Lincolnshire Poacher.

Lunch was lovely, with us being disabled one of the waiters went above & beyond to help, he brought over the card machine.

Greatly improved. Nice menu choice. Long wait for food but was tasty when it arrived. Like the new table booking facility

Some of the food was poor. I had the steak and ale pie. Contained no more than 2 meat chunks rest gravy . Pastry was undercooked. Soup was luke warm and half a bowl plus two slices of baguette for £4,5 very disappointing. Kids meals seemed ok. Curry semed ok. I had a party of 14 eating. I won't be returning. Update. after speaking to the manager, her apology and offer I have updated this review to reflect a satisfactory resolution.

Food was great, staff that were there were excellent and dealt well with a very busy pub. Management should have arranged for more staff to be on, we had to wait 50 minutes for our food and as a result decided not to have pudding in case the wait was similar. It was half term and this should have been planned for better. We would come back but at a potentially less busy time to ensure a better staff to customer ratio.

What a wonderful meal perfectly cooked Staff are amazing nothing is too much trouble Very clean and a lovely atmosphere.. A wonderful beer garden...lots of love and care has been taken xxx

Just had an amazing Sunday lunch there I had beef .. hubby had Turkey everything was absolutely spot on .. yummy 😋

We had been out all day and decided to pop in for dinner. I had the steak pie which was very nice, the wife had lasagne which she also enjoyed, my daughter decides to have the loaded fries and said they were banging. Overall a pleasant meal with a nice atmosphere and polite staff

As a family we had a pleasant meal, food was spot on, served hot and quite timely. Staff were all pleasant and welcoming

Great selection really fast service and friendly staff, also great value so will be back soon!!

Lovely meal, just as ordered. Friendly and helpful staff. Good prices.

Staff are so friendly and the food was hot and presented nice. Would definitely be back .

good value quality tasty food, clean and the staff are all amazing! so friendly and attentive. Gary was our chef today food piping hot, cooked to perfection and tasty! Marley served our table he is so polite, friendly and efficient! Thank you!

Service for food a 45 minute wait so went an got fish chips some where else

Polite staff, prompt service. Hot tasty food at reasonable price.

The online table booking was easy, we were welcomed on arrival and shown to our table. A very good and varied selection of meals at affordable prices. Our order arrived quickly, good sized portions of food, very tasty and well presented. All the staff were friendly and efficient.

Always friendly staff, lovely steak

Avoid this place...shocking...asked for refund still yet to receive it...and they wonder why pub trade is dieing :-(

Hot fresh food and friendly staff

A truly wonderful experience with extremely welcoming and helpful staff. The food was outstanding and our steaks were cooked to perfection. One of use has a dairy allergy and the staff were exceedingly helpful in guiding my choice to ensure that I could eat without risk! 11/10 will definitely be coming again!

old man at bar staff (possibly manager) non stop harassing me and my friend about ID however i have it on me (2004) he served me 1 pint only however told me he wont accept anymore because my ID photo was taken 2years ago. What does he want me to do? update it every 2 weeks. what a weapon. He was also rude and unprofessional with my friend who is older then me cutting us off. We only went for a few drinks and to play pool.

Loved it Staff were fabulous really helpful Loved the food Loved the choice of gin

It was busy and there was apparently an hour wait for food but it felt a lot faster. Service was good with qr code scanner on table. Drink was brought out fast and food was lovely and hot

We were made welcome, fast service, comfortable seating and clean table. Lots of choice of drinks and food. Everything we had was really nice food with good portion sizes and value for money.

Visited during quite time early evening. Good deals on 2 meals decent ales on tap. Plenty of parking.

Had an impromptu date night with the hubby tonight. He had the Ultimate Spicey Beef Burger which he gave a thumbs up 👍 and a half as it was very tasty. I had the 8oz Angus Sirloin Steak and opted to have the light version which comes with a very flavourful Quinoa salad and added a side of sweet potato fries and their beef dripping and merlot sauce. I'd asked for the steak to be cooked medium rare and it was cooked to perfection. I sent my compliments to the chefs who I later found out to be Gary, Dom and Ryan. Not sure which of them cooked my streak but it was extremely delicious and I would highly recommend the beef dripping sauce too. So rich and full of flavour and complimented the steak beautifully. We washed down our main meals with a pint on inches cider for the hubby and a large class of merlot for me..... I should add our server Khloe was polite and very professional. We of course had to finish our meals with pudding. Hubby had the salted caramel cookie brownie with ice cream and I had the jam sponge pudding with custard and they were also delicious. I've given 4* across the board as there's always room to improve. But overall an excellent evening 😊 No pictures to add it was just to tasty to stop eating lol....

Gary and where amazing great atmosphere will go again.its my local and has been for years its really been a great pub since Neil and jame took it on

Was made very welcome into the Lincolnshire poacher by Max today when ordering from bar a very friendly environment , and a very nice dining area

Poker on a Sunday night is where you want to be on a Sunday, hope this is more than 100 characters. Thank you team for the spinny wheel!!

Comfortable, warm,plenty of space around tables

Been my regular for years Always made welcome by the staff especially max who always happy to help the regular out and makes sure everything ok for them .

Good service, malachai was great

Our favourite local. Always welcoming and we always have the best time here! Kids and dogs being welcome is a big bonus! :)

Great pub, great beer, great Gary, recommend to all, very good food, all staff very friendly, great garden for the kids to play in, overall 5 stars from me

Best pub in Lincoln, great for families and friends.

we are regulars in this establishment! love all the staff and the atmosphere

Long wait for food. When it arrived it was cold. Salad garnish was old and limp. Cheese on plate of vegan order. Disappointing as wanted this to be nice as we are locals. Do not recommend at all.

Visited here Monday evening for some food and from the minute we walked into here we felt warm and welcome the atmosphere here is amazing we got food and food was absolutely beautiful and very good prices too we will definitely be visiting again

Would definitely recommend. Food and staff are outstanding every time we have visited. Will be returning in the future.

Max and Gary are great behind the bar. Always make us feel welcome.

Beautiful atmosphere and friendly staff felt comfortable and at ease decent priced nothing but the beat would highly recommend

Came with my family for Xmas day.. food and service were beautiful.. no negatives at all

The staff were all very welcoming the food was delicious and the service at the bar was brilliant overall was a very pleasant experience

Visited once again for Christmas, Lovely food and amazing staff. Highly recommend!!

Lovely food and amazing staff! Made my christmas day, highly recommend!

I have been here on and off for nearly 10 years. I been when it was cheap and cheerful. I've also been when it's bad, to the point even cheap and cheerful wouldn't cut it. I went ad hoc about 2 months ago. I went for just drinks, saying I wouldn't eat there again. I saw all the upholstery was renewed, it was clean and looked loved. I ended up eating here again and was pleasantly surprised. You can see it's changed owners since I had last stepped foot. I was in need of a Christmas meal venue and actually chose here. We had a Christmas dinner, on Christmas eve (today) and I was so pleased of the care, and quality of the food for an amazing price. So much so it even got the nod of appreciation from my 80yo Dad who is hard to please. I even waited after paying to speak to Max even though he was rushed off his feet about how much I have seen an improvement and how over a year ago it was Sh*t and today has really impressed me. Also, not forgetting Gary the chef. It was the best meal I've ever had from the poacher in all those years. Well done for making a success out of something that can be great again!!

Had a great time food was amazing and malaeyke explained it really well

Came in for something to eat with my family, The food was absolutely delicious prepared by a lovely chef called Gary and the service from the front of house staff was amazing Neil on the bar and Jane who found us a table and our server Kaleem

Ordered the fish n chips with a side of Guiness! Fish was tender and batter was gorgeous, washed down with the beautiful Guiness, hats off. Was served by Malakye who was friendly throughout service and was willing to help if anything was needed, truly amazing! Will be attending again at some point!

Welcoming place and had a wonderful time with the family

Lovely place to eat. Good menu variety. Malakye was my server and really helpful when it came to my allergies. Highly recommend!

The Sunday roast was great. Our server Malakye was amazing and super friendly.

Great food, good atmosphere. Server Malakye really did well to treat us right

Had a lovely night here, the service was amazing as soon as we walked through the door, the staff member who was seeing to us; I think his name was Malakye he was attentive and showed a great deal of professionalism at our uncertainty of what to order. I eventually went for the hunters chicken which was filling and visibly appealing - a good choice for anyone wanting something basic. All in all I will be returning again and hopefully post another 5 star review.

I was served by malakye he was super friendly and informative! Will definitely be back!

Recently had brilliant Sunday roast here, the place is lovely and service is always with a smile especially if you have Malakye serving you.

Since visiting the Poachers in Lincoln last month and yesterday , we will continue to go back there when we want to go out for a meal. As we do not go out that much finding somewhere where the food is good the place is clean and the people are really inviting is really rare. The landlady really cares about you and ensures you have everything you need, the food is amazing even the second time we went which is brilliant .We will go back to the Poachers

Staff were welcoming and the service was good throughout visit. The bar was busy but didn't take too long to place order and they were very good with a gluten free order. Food was delivered in reasonable timescale and quality of Sunday Roasts was very good - an extra treat using 30% off voucher. Thank you for a very pleasant dinner, and overall experience.

Friendly, attentive hosts. Fast service. Wonderful food. Fun, festive atmosphere

Great service staff were friendly kind and professional. Great food nothing seems to much trouble. All working extremely hard to make your experience good

Friendly and attentive staff. Great food. Highly recommended

Bland, poorly presented meals, with a side salads that was fit for the bin, brown salad really?. I can make a better meal at home, So poor food, and to me 40 odd quid down the drain. Really was a poor experience, Will not recommend, will not return.

Great menu selection. Very nicely presented and lovely and hot. We had the sausages and mash and pie and mash which were both delicious.

Fantastic service, staff go above and beyond with a smile. Food really tasty, well presented for the price range. Added bonus of a singer in resturant singing swing classics. He was amazing, brillany voice. A really enjoyable evening with a family orientated crowd. A big thank you to the staff.

I had a disappointing experience at the Lincolnshire Poacher. The food quality was very poor and definitely not worth the price. To make matters worse, the customer service was unhelpful and unwelcoming. I wouldn’t recommend dining here and will not be returning. B Smith

Great service and food, friendly staff

Great service, lovely food, generous portions, reasonable pricing and didn't have to wait long for our order

If you like your evening meal in a freezing cold pub & having to wear your coat & scarf when eating it - you’ll love this place!

I was served by a tall girl with curly hair she was so lovely and polite would 100% go back here again

Good food, service speed is average, but staff are super friendly. At the moment they have portable mini heaters around the pub as the main heating is not working. Easy to order, which you can do from the table using a QR code.

I thought I was eating the leftovers from I'm a celebrity.

Amazing and efficient service by Max and Khloe, absolutely fantastic. Will never go anywhere else

Our food and drinks were pretty good, service was good but the heating wasn't working so, a less than comfortable meal that went cold too quickly, unfortunately

Had a great evening grabbing food and drinks with friends, staff were very attentive and servers were brilliant. Food was delicious too! Great value for money, will be back in the future.

The service was excellent, and the food arrived very quickly after I ordered online. The taste was good and the portion size represented good value for the price.

Disappointed with menu and service

Lovely sunday dinner, we had half roast chicken which was very tasty, it was very busy but the wait wasnt too long, food was delicious, a rad more gravy would have made it perfect tho! They serve food all day and sunday roast is available until they run out basically. Big cark park and quick bar staff.

lovely atmosphere ...good service and lovely food ....definatly changed for the better with the new decor and staff

First time visiting for a few drinks at night, 10/10 service, lovely staff, good local atmosphere, no complaints. Would definitely recommend

Nice food, but very unfriendly to dogs. Dogs are not allowed on their carpet even though the majority of tables are in those areas.

Don't come here unless you want to wait up to 2 hours for your food. Came here on my lunch break and was late back, had to rush my food and felt poorly after. AVOID AVOID AVOID

Went in with my son for Sunday dinner and the food was absolutely amazing. Gary the chef outdid himself it was absolutely scrumptious. Jane our server was amazing and couldn’t of been more helpful, will definitely be visiting again.

Was greeted by imy who was most welcoming, Food was delivered quickly and my roast beef dinner was really delicious, well cooked and hot

Early evening dinner and drinks. All day breakfast. Mixed grill. Several beers. One dog bowl. Bang on, highly recommended.

Great food , friendly service and you can use the blue light card so the price is great too, service was slow as they were busy but 45 minutes was a bit long.

Greeted by friendly staff Pleasant atmosphere Barstaff cheerful and helpful Food was presented well and tasted great very good portion

Big pub,friendly staff,tasty food and good value.Good selection of beers.

What a difference a year makes! I visited last year and left a deserved bad review, but heard things had improved so gave it another go. Great service, clean and well refurbished. Decor is lovely. The food was very very good. Looked freshly cooked and tasted good. 8 of us ordered different meals and all of us very happy. Definitely recommend

Went for lunch with a friend and the staff couldn't be more helpful with my food intolerance, Chole and chef Steve and the other bar staff were just fabulous. I cannot recommend them enough.

Friendly staff, great atmosphere, ample parking

Came for Sunday lunch as its amazing. Meal sizes are amazing and always tastes amazing. Staff are always so friendly.Always recommend to friends and family. Good play area outside also.

It was a lovely atmosphere for a Sunday roast and the waiters and waitresses had a positive attitude despite how busy it was. We waited about 45 minutes for our food and weren’t warned about the long wait until we asked but we didn’t mind. Portion sizes are huge, good value for money!

Very nice environment and staff, good food Loads of options in the menu.

Poor chicken tikka, bad app and full of screaming kids. Also vash only at tills as machines down, blue light card not set up ti work with app.
