Magna Carta in Lincoln

Our club were absolutely spoilt last night as the Magna Carta provided an excellent 3 course Christmas meal for us.The service was efficient and the staff courteous and polite.The food was lovely and hot,we couldn’t expect anything better. Well done to all the staff who carried it out on a really busy night in the cathedral quarter of our lovely city.

Booked the top 2 floors for a Hockey Christmas do. Lou was very helpful in getting everything organised for the day. We pre-ordered all our food and some of the first drinks which were waiting for us as soon as we arrived. We had a personal assistant covering the floor if we had any questions or needed anything. Drinks were ordered though a QR code and arrived very quickly. Good value for money and a lovely atmosphere and free Christmas crackers!

Will Sonia Kerin All Brilliant staff!!!

Visited for drinks a Saturday night. Friendly efficient staff, great beer and a good atmosphere.

Fantastic service and food, well presented both inside and out. Good section of food and drinks, staff extreamly helpful and happy. Glocation

We had scampi and chips here with Guinness and red wine. It was excellent on all counts and the service was first class. Hella looked after us and is a delightful young lady who was friendly and efficient. Definitely will visit again on our next trip to Lincoln. Excellent staff makes for a good evening. Thanks .

Visited today for a light lunch, excellent food and service, great value, highly recommended.

Had a fab quiz night here. Relaxed and testing. Superb quiz master. Thanks.

Heather our server was soo good and understanding when at first I couldn’t find my tastecard details . But with a smile she was great and we would love to go back . 👍😉x

Very busy pub with lots of groups of people drinking, some clearly having had too many and being very loud not a great atmosphere to sit and enjoy a meal but having said that we didn't feel uncomfortable as everyone seemed friendly. Despite the pub being busy the staff were friendly helpful and attentive, all food and drinks are ordered at the bar and paid for in advance, our meals arrived surprisingly quickly considering how busy the pub was the portion size was adequate and the quality of the food was good the presentation was ok, I think they must of been low on cheese as there was barely any on either of our Hunters Chicken, the chicken breast was a little on the cool side too. Having said that we still enjoyed our meals but probably wouldn't eat here again. That's not a reflection on the staff though as they were all really hard working and wonderful.

Good food and really helpful staff.

Not a bad selection of ales, all decent though. Food was good value and the staff were great

Regular booking for my board game group. Nice environment and staff are always friendly.

Great pub this , near castle and cathedral .very friendly staff

Dog friendly place with a chain pub feel. Staff very friendly and attentive, food was tasty but nothing special. It served a purpose but we didn’t feel the need to return. The place had a whiff of bad drains which wasn’t great.

Been coming here on/off for a number of years whilst our daughters have been at University. It is always very welcoming and last night was no exception. We take our dog and he is always spoilt with plenty of biscuits. Last night we ate there and we were not disappointed. The food and service was fantastic. We will definitely be back next time we are in Lincoln.

The food was amazing. The tartar sauce was delicious. Will our waiter was so helpful and friendly.

Will the barman was really friendly and helpful. He had a cheerful disposition and made our lunch time break from Christmas shopping really pleasant. Would recommend the magna carta.

Lovely pub, with very friendly staff. Located opposite the castle it's perfectly placed in historic Lincoln. My partner and I are gluten-free and it was lovely to see a (smallish) dedicated gluten-free menu with a fair range of choices. The meal when it arrived (cowboy burger and an ultimate spicy burger) was hot and the warmed dish kept it that way till the last bite. Both meals were very tasty, well cooked and full of flavour. A great find, we will definitely return.

Eaten in here on multiple occasions now. Great place, friendly staff and fab food!

One of our favourite places in one of our favourite towns - good friendly service and reliably good food. It is sad however that going forward it will be difficult for us to visit - we stay overnight in a CamperVan and from November Lincoln Council no longer allow us to stay overnight at the Lawns.

The service we received was excellent from all your staff. The staff were genuinely friendly and excellent customer service. The food was typical pub food and did the job .

Nice friendly pub, food was freshly cooked and not to expensive.

Delicious food and amazing staff! Literally I cannot breathe because of the amount of food. Thank you for the experience

A great pub in a prime location. Top food and good selection of beers and friendly atmosphere.

Friendly, cheerful staff, delicious food. Shame Thatcher's was the only cider on tap, but they had a good range of gins!

Thanks to Aaron for great service

Great food, friendly service. Max is THE guy. Jay, Will and Aaron were all very friendly and welcoming.

Visited the Magna Carter for a drink during a recent stay in Lincoln. Received a warm welcome from the staff there. Kerry was behind the bar and was polite and friendly and we decided to eat there. The food was brought to us by Max I believe and he was also friendly and chatty. We had the Steak & Ale Pie and the Chicken Tikka Masala which were both really tasty. Wry good easily ingredients clearly and very good value. Stayed for a couple more drinks. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff with a good selection of beers make this a must when in Lincoln.

Excellent food, very impressed, better than we expected. Chips especially yummy ! Tasty tasty_ highly recommend. Fantastic location and friendly staff. Served by Hella_ thank you 😊

Lovely spot. Good good. Good wine. Good beer. Nice bloke.

Excellent food and service. A welcome break after the walk up Steep Hill in Lincoln. Friendly and efficient service from Hella.

As previous visit, a place we can chill out and enjoy. Really nice food (even the 6 young lads I took didn't moan!), Staff had real character and were really well organised. God bless the Magna Carta! (the pub, not the real Magna Carta......)

Fab meal tonight, staff very friendly especially Hella. So much history in the building, next to Lincoln Cathedral.

Wonderful meal tonight, very polite young lady called Hella . Would definitely recommend and visit again

Wonderful pub that is steps from the Cathedral and the Castle. A varied menu for all tastes and dietary requirements. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere. We particularly appreciated the attention of our server Hella!!

Popped in whilst staying locally. Just had a drink so can’t comment on the food. The atmosphere was really good and the manager Karl took his times to chat to us which was nice. It is a lovely quite quirky pub. Different levels with various types of seating. It is in a fantastic spot near the cathedral, or the very big church as one visitor wanting directions called it, made us smile. Would definitely recommend, lovely place.

Lovely bar in a great spot. Karl front of house took his time to talk to us. Really enjoyed it. Didn’t eat so can’t comment. If you are in the area pop in. Lovely place.

One of the best stakes I’ve had and the service was very nice and friendly

My favourite pub in Lincoln. The staff treat me as a friend as well as a customer. Nothing is too much. Will, Jay, Carl and Lou are so welcoming and make me feel welcome, whatever the weather. The best local in Lincoln for a pint or two or a meal with the family on a cold wet Sunday afternoon.

Had a few nights out in Lincoln with friends. Was only going to stop in for a drink but after seeing some of the food come out we thought we'd grab a bite. We only tried a couple of the sharers but they were really good, the loaded fries in particular were amazing! Staff were really friendly and the atmosphere was lively yet friendly. Good selection of drinks at normal prices. All in all, a great little find and would recommend anyone to pop their heads in.

Can't comment on food, but the drinks were fine. Atmosphere is good. Location is excellent!!!!

Came here for a 21st birthday, we had a lovely evening with amazing food. The service was excellent, very quick and efficient, with food coming out quickly and was very warm. There was a quiz whilst we were there and although we didn’t take part it was still enjoyable to play along. The quiz master was very accommodating too and would show us the pictures for the questions although we wasn’t officially taking part on the app. Overall an amazing evening and would definitely recommend! Ps. Would definitely recommend the ultimate spicy beef burger!!

Fantastic night at the Monday quiz. We go regularly. The staff are very friendly from the landlady to bar staff to quiz master Karl who, although dyslexic runs a great fun quiz.

me and my son had the steak and ale pie it was so nice not had a pie so nice the sevice was 100% good

Amazing place. Historical relevance can't be ignored. Food is amazing. Cute atmosphere. Only trouble is that you need to order at the bar and not at the table, even though there are QR codes kept in every table. I found it a bit strange. Also I would recommend reserving a table because it is very popular and manot be able to find a table if you show up last minute.

Really nice pub! The location Is excellent and the food is really good. Nice quality and decent portions. Had a great vibe when we went on a Friday night. I'd say if you want a really nice pub with good beer, great food and a lovely team of people looking after you definitely worth a visit, or two. Also might be worth booking a table as it got busy on most nights we saw.

Lovely evening meal. Great service. Had the soup, Mac and Cheese and my husband had a burger. Very good.

Hella was amazing and made my first trip to the Magna Carta a fantastic experience.

A wide choice of beers and a good choice of food in the menu.

A typical English pub in the centre of beautiful Old Lincoln City. Good food and great atmosphere.

Popped into the Magna Carta for a quick drink and ended up staying for the evening after being invited to join the Monday quiz. A really friendly pub, situated between the cathedral and castle. I was made welcome by the regulars and staff. The food is really reasonable, especially as it is right in the heart of the old City. I chose real comfort food of Mac n Cheese with pulled pork topping which came with 2 slices of garlic bread and salad. It was delicious. Also had a rocky road sundae for dessert. Lots of beer and cider on tap and I had 3 pints of Inch's cider. To top it all one of the regulars was celebrating his 50th and I got offered some cake. Highly recommended pub if you are going to this historic City.

In the perfect place after the steep hill Loverly old place with a great atmosphere. Sitting outside with a nice cold one on a summers evening doesn't get any better x

Lovely atmosphere and nice setting. Great place to have a pint.

A brilliant place in Lincoln for awkward eaters. We are carnivorous and they happily adapted the menue to suit our needs. Service was excellent, the staff very friendly and helpful when it came to paying with a blue light code. Magna Carta is definitely recommended for folks on a short visit to Lincoln. Food excellent and a great range of drinks.

Heila and Elissa looked after us extremely well. Max was excellent doing the quizz

very busy and loud, not my first choice but it was on the list. young crowd and stag parties. reasonable brews glad to get out.

Me and my mum ordered the mac and cheese (mum with the spicy chicken and me with the popcorn chicken). Genuinely the nicest meal I have ever had. The cocktails are always 10/10 and are absolutely delicious. My sister’s kids meal (pasta) was great quality and she loved it. The staff are the most welcoming and lovely, helpful staff I have ever encountered. Thank you for the amazing meal ❤️

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. They treated the dogs well is the nice thing to say.

Good access by car, lovely service, nice atmsophere, engaging and fun quiz, lots of different beer to pick from! can only recommend!

This place is amazing. It’s well worth visiting. You are treated more like a friend than just a customer. There is so much attention to detail and they take good care of you especially if you have allergies. Well worth a visit. Will definitely go again

Really enjoyed our weekday quick lunch at Magna Carta. The leek and potato soup and cauliflower “wings” were delicious, and our service from Hella was superb. Recommend!

Lovely spot to grab lunch. Fast service, lovely waitress(Hella).

Pleasant vibrant atmosphere at 6.30pm on a Friday. Staff were helpful, but a touch condescending when we weren't exactly sure what we wanted. Guy who delivered the food was very friendly and positive. Food was good though The Ultimate Spicy burger was bland. The burger patties were fine. But.no.spice, the jalapeños tasted of nothing.

Was there on Thursday 19t for drinks very nice pub friendly and polite stff

Informative landlord, nice pub 👍

My first bangers and mash! Delicious!

Had a really pleasant time in this pub, nice selection of food and drinks, food was done well. The staff were very friendly, approachable and talkative. I especially liked the local recommendations.

Lovely meal with husband,ovely atmospherel

Lovely spot for a good "pub lunch" - Friendly staff, decor is very trendy, and the place is very clean. Food arrived quickly and was exactly what it said on the tin.

Kind staff, great service and amazing food. Recommend the ultimate spicy burger.

After a long day of sight-seeing in Lincoln, this was the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. We sat in the cozy lower level, which had comfy chairs and was quieter than the main floor. Bangers & mash and steak & ale pie were both spot on (though I would personally love to see them serve Lincolnshire sausages rather than Cumberland). Max and the rest of the team were very welcoming and hospitable, even though we knew they’d had a busy day with lots of people coming for graduations. We also appreciated the prominent rainbow flag. Would definitely come again.

Great service, friendly team and great food - highly recommended

Loved it! So much better than some of the poncy stuff around the city. The food was great, the wine high quality and inexpensive (compared to many places), the staff warm and welcoming (and quirky - am I allowed to say that?!), the music right up our street. We felt right at home.

Nice pub, great staff. Good selection of beers. Quiz night on a Wednesday

Visted this wonderful pub on a day trip today. What a lovely atmosphere in there. The staff were so friendly and obliging. Ordered food and it was great.- reasonably priced and a quick service. Jay you deserve a pat on the back - such a lovely friendly welcome to all of your customers. We wish it was local Thanks.😋

Really great! My favourite pub/restaurant in the entire country! I live in Norfolk.

Karl was extremely good at explaining the history of the pub and surroundings. Will be back again amazing drinks too

Lovely pub in a great location with friendly staff

Very friendly service from Hella.

Great place lovely staff good food. Highly recommend a visit.

We had a great time here after graduation. Max and all the staff were great and really friendly. Atmosphere 10/10 (or 5/5). Food was delicious, servings were quite big but still tasty. Service was great, wish cutlery was at the table when we arrived but not a big enough issue to deduct stars. Thank you guys :)

Very busy establishment in a beautiful area of Lincoln, bar staff were friendly enough and plenty of seating if you don't mind climbing a few stairs. Didn't have any food but will definitely venture back at a later date to try some.

Remarkably good place for such an iconic location. Still really genuine. Makes you proud to be British. This is culture

Food didnt take too long considering it was booked upstairs and a few other tables, food was very tasty The staff were really nice. The music taste in the pub is also excellent

Just popped in for drinks. Great views of castle square. Didn't have food, so I can't comment. Toilets were a little disappointing but not terrible.

A lovely pub in the heart of historic Lincoln with a great range of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. Food served daily hosted by a very pleasant team of staff. Well worth a visit!

Served by Hella who was so friendly and accommodating even though it was busy. We had two dogs and a baby and she really went out of her way to make sure we were sorted, really friendly waitress and a credit to the company. Food was reasonably priced and super tasty.

Had lunchtime menu Fish & Chips with Jam sponge pudding with custard. Really tasty and not a long wait. Good price of £12 from 12pm till 3pm. Ordered at the bar but you can order at the table using a QR code.

Great service, food and drinks. Staff are excellent, really welcoming and professional. Thoroughly recommend a visit here.

Excellent food and drink and a lovely atmosphere. The decor is classic and yet uniquely local. Service particularly by Hella was incredibly welcoming and friendly.

Amazing staff especially Hella who was very professional.

Perfect place to stop for good food and a pint

Dog friendly with lovely staff. 2 nd day we have eaten here, food was good and they have a good menu from starters to sandwiches, jacket potatoes to main and sm appetite. Good selection of drinks I had a cup of tea today which was perfect

Steampunk Asylum weekend! Great service. Great atmosphere. Great selection of gins

Nice relaxed place to eat and drink. Reasonable prices and good location.

Great service, food really good, staff couldn't do enough, thanks Karl and colleagues. 👍
