We've eaten here a few times now, and each time the food has been awful. Much worse than any Wetherspoons. Dry chicken. Over salted chips. Hideous garlic bread (hard and no flavour). There is no service. .. You have to use QR code. Then they plonk the food on table. Drinks take ages to come out too.

Visited while in Lincoln for the weekend. Comfortable place, in keeping with the area, price good considering location. Menu good and choice of drinks wide. I had a chicken flat bread which was excellent. My Mrs had hunters chicken which was ok. Definitely worth a visit.

We booked a table at 7:30pm and when we arrived there was a large function on but this was okay as we did not mined. We whent to the bar was was busy but we was seen to quickly. We was seated at a table quickly and even tho there was a function outside it was still fairly quiet inside. We ordered some drinks through the QR code on the table and these come very quick even through the bar was busy. We also ordered food through the QR code and when we was selecting food you could not request something changing so we asked a member of staff for help and they said they will leave a note in the kitchen. We were also told that the food will be a 45 minute wait what was okay. We ordered the food and this come in about 35 minutes after we ordered. One plate was slightly wrong but they where quick to resolve the issue. The food was woundful. Overall the whole experience was woundful drinks were nice food was lovely and the staff where every helpful.

I’ve frequented this pub for years and years! But before now i’ve stayed clear because the clientele was a bit rowdy. Since visiting again this summer I was very pleasantly surprised! Excellent staff- especially James who took the time to sort out a problem for me and my visiting family even when the bar was quite full! I didn’t need to worry as the other staff members definitely had it and the pub feels like a well oiled machine now. I’m sure because of this the crowd was well behaved as noone seemed stressed out/ a hard feat on a saturday afternoon! Will recommend again and will visit again when i’m back in my home county. Very happy with the service and that James fellow was definitely standout.

Excellent service at the bar our server who I can only describe as having 3 numbers tattoo on their arm was very professional polite and unflustered although the pub was extremely busy. Then we grabbed a table ordered food form the app one of the kitchen staff came out shortly after ordering informing us on of our starter sharers was not available but would substitute for another at no extra cost. Great service Brilliant staff great food and drinks. 10/10 thank you.

6 of us had a meal here today and 4 of us thought the food was below average. I ordered sausages and mash, the sausages were burnt and the mash had a yellowy colour to it. The only redeeming factor is that when complained we got complimentary dessert. I would not recommend coming to this pub for food. I now feel a bit sick after eating food here.

All the tables outside were full of empty plates and glasses. We cleared our own table. Thought it was strange as it wasn't busy at all.

Ordered drinks and food,the 2 pints were rank🤢 Exchanged for 2 more pints,not a lot better,as real ale drinkers you accept it can be a lottery,but 2 bad pints? Sharing platter and 4 mains ordered,sharing starter arrived with mains(after a good half hr wait) this was cold,sent back. 2 of the mains had the option of chips as extra,neither had the added chips ,1 portion was brought to cover thus,along with the re heated starter,now cooked within an inch of its life. Asked if everything was ok? “No,no it’s not” and explained the issues. Offered 4 free drinks Eat our meals,no plates collected or drinks order taken. We left,never to return,I’d suggest you go elsewhere too. The smugglers up the hill,despite not doing food,has a wide variety of well kept ales 👍🏼

Dreadful experience Shared starter (off the starter menu) arrived with mains after huge wait Mains were ok if you like overcooked Burgers Beer was dreadful, swooped for an equally awful pint. Service was slow and pretty poor. Offered a round of drinks but given the experience of the first and second attempt to have a beer we declined. Shocking, not somewhere I’ll rush back too

We hired the function room for my wife’s 30th birthday and what excellent service from start to finish. The team were great and getting us booked in, managing multiple dietary requirements for the buffet (vegetarian and coeliac gluten free) and even helped set up the venue on the day with decorations when we were struggling for time before the party started. All night the team were attentive, helping in any way needed and cleaned up and saved all our decorations for collection next day. Being in the heart of the Bailgate is a great location, especially for us to continue the party in town afterwards. The food, drinks and environment was brilliant. Cannot fault in anyway and gave my wife such a special and memorable birthday. Thank you so much to the whole team!

Almost a lifetime ago I was a regular at The Lion And Snake but I must confess I hadn't been to the pub for years. Life moves on and all that jazz. Set in the most beautiful part of Lincoln, it's a joy just walking to the pub, past the cathedral and drinking in the history of the city. Went for lunch with my wife and it was very, very nice indeed. The meals were lovely and the server was friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed the visit and will be back.

The pub was relatively busy but service was pretty quick, drinks were made up to my specific requirements so no complaints here. Food ordered was a mixed grill and hunters chicken. My husband enjoyed his mixed grill but said the extra peppercorn sauce was too thin. My hunters chicken …. Well I’d forget the rocket, it’s a bit embarrassing to even mention it. The chips were spread flat on the plate, obviously to make it look like the plate was full whilst cutting down on quantity, it didn’t work, there not enough chips. All in all, nice food but don’t scrimp on chips 🤷♀️

The Lion & Snake is a typical English pub located in the historic center of Lincoln. The structure is very nice and well lit, the food served is good and the beers are excellent. During the weekend there is perhaps a little too much confusion due to the matches broadcast on TV, but I think that's the beauty of it. Four of us had dinner with 3 beers, 1 coke, 4 main courses and 3 "baby Guinness", all for around 65 pounds.
