Been here lots of times before but tonight the food was terrible. Ultimate mate burger it was not; extremely overcooked and after a 40 minute wait.

Amazing service and great food!! Our waitress Shona was brilliant, so friendly and attentive which was lovely, her enthusiasm didn’t drop once during the four and a half hours we were there!

If I could give zero I would, they don't deserve one star! Food was just about edible, although pie could be used as a doorstop. Staff, especially Shona, was rude and argumentative. Ordered drinks via the app after 15mins queried where they were, said they doing it now. 25 mins after placing the order I asked where the drinks were to be told 'i just told your daughter we're doing them now' that was 10 minutes ago and I ordered 25 minutes ago. They weren't busy so I don't know why it took so long or that it was my fault they didn't see the app order because they were all in the kitchen and not behind the bar! We cleared our own table ALL night of glasses, had to ask for plates to be removed after an hour of being left on the table, only cleared half the table? They run out of shot glasses (all dirty left on tables) so served tequila rose in a half pint glass?! Unbelievable. The app order finally arrived, Shona slammed them on the table in front of me and said when you've drunk those you can all leave. We've drunk and eaten in the centurion for 20+ years. The last 6 months has seen a huge decline in service. Outside looks terrible, two abandoned vehicles with flat tyres and smashed up fencing. No attempt to fix or remove fencing. Such a shame as could be a lovely local pub. AVOID

Lovely friendly Staff, Chloe and her team have transformed this place, I bring friends from Bristol and Leeds to Lincoln for a night out, they seem to get settled at the Centurion. If we do make it into Lincoln we usually end up back at the Centurion. Food is great, staff are friendly and Chloe is lovely, nice friendly atmosphere. Would recommend a visit.

Went for a meal last night. It was extremely busy. I ordered the soup and had to send it back. It was cold , watery and tasteless. They did refund me for it. My husband had falafel which was burnt underneath and hard. For main I had the chicken tandoori on skewer. It was overcooked and dry. They were very busy so not sure if unable to cope in the kitchen. Shame but really wouldn’t eat there again.

Me and my wife were at a loose end with where to go for lunch that had an outside eating area that had affordable food and then we stumbled across this pub. On entry we were greeted quickly and told to sit wherever we wanted that didn't have a reserve sign and luckily there wasn't to many reservations; probably because it was lunch time. The hostess was very quick to take our drinks and our order. The drinks were made quickly and brought to us and the food considering the size of what we had also came out very fast. My wife ordered the steak baguette which came with fries and she loved it. The only thing she wanted was more steak as didn't seem like it had a lot on. I had the ultimate burger and was the best food I have had since moving to Lincoln. It was ultimate through taste and size. It was that good I even had people walking past asking what it was so they could order it, should get a free drink in there for promotion (I'm joking...or an I ?) The hostess came out at regular intervals to check everything was okay and offer more drinks if we needed it. We will definitely be recommending this place more and coming back very soon to explore more of the menu.

My wife and i went here for dinner and we were so pleased with the service and the choice of food on offer as my wife has been trying to find somewhere that did the deep battered fried Halloumi and got it here, i had the Haddock and chips and both meals were amazing and the batter was nice and thin.

We booked the Centurion for Christmas Dinner a couple of weeks before Christmas, there being five in our party. We don’t normally dine out on Christmas Day, but decided that this year we would. We were not disappointed. The manager Bill and his wife were not working, and they had left the pub in the very capable hands of Chloe. We asked how long we could have our table for, we were in no rush. Chloe swapped a few things round and informed us that we could keep the table until the pub closed if we wished. The food was really good, generous portions and everything was hot. The tables were promptly cleared after we had eaten. There was a good selection of real ales available, and the atmosphere was great. Thank you Chloe, we will certainly return.

Attended for a Sunday dinner. No beef on menu, 45 mins wait. Ordered Gammon instead. When it arrived the veg was hard(undercooked) the roast potatoes were very small almost cubed. Some burnt! Totally poor but hunger had set in so we ate what we could. Very dissapointed, when asked if our meal was OK we explained the problems and were offered a free coffee which we rejected. We wi not be returning in a rush. They also ffered a free non alcohol guiness on the app but again not available. Seems most of the stock that should be available was sold out. A complete waste if money!

The Centurion on Newark Road, Lincoln is a great place for lunch. Make sure you book a table or you may be disappointed. Tried to book a couple of weeks ago and no table available all day for day we wanted to lunch out. However, early booking meant we managed to get a table this week and we weren't disappointed. Easy parking, Good menu and service. Prices as expected. Friendly atmosphere.

I am sat in the Centurion at the moment and ordered the Rump Steak. The Steak was all gristle I could only cut one very small piece off with the steak knife. When I told the server she said “well that’s what they send us I will pass the message on”. There was no offer to rectify the issue and she just walked away. Avoid!!!the food is not worth it and the service is poor. Only as we were leaving were we offered a complimentary dessert but as my meal had been spoiled we declined and left.

Sadly will be avoiding for food in the future. The salad on the burger looked like it had seen better days, the customer service was very poor and still waiting for some of our order. Understand that you get what you pay for and I’m glad it was half price, but I’m sure anyone could have made a better meal at home sadly.

The vegetarian option, the wellington was tasty and filling, and the burger as usual perfect. The drinks, were lovely, the venue just right for family and staff courteous, and friendly we will be back for Sunday dinner !

We went with a group of friends who had a discount voucher . Some of the meals are better than others. The mixed grill was good but 2 out of the 3 steaks were grisly and tough. My chips and veg were good apart from the hard peas. The waiter never checked our meals were ok and neither did the person collecting the food. The pub has a nice feel to it and the staff are friendly but the food does need some improvement.

Usually go there regularly and have a starter. This time embarked on a main meal being steak x2 and a pasta dish (Veg). Very disappointed, the 8oz steak was 4oz fat and gristle (both) and the pasta veggie was tasteless and seemed like the vegetables were from a can- well didn't taste of anything. Yes, very disappointed and complained / spoke with the staff who shrugged it off. Drinks fine but not willing to spend on food.

Been to the Centurion many times and always been decent so don't know if they were having an off day ! Just poor service, had to ask someone to come and clear the empty plates even though the lady from the bar had walked past table numerous times but did not offer to clear them and then also had to ask to see the dessert menu. No offer of any additional accompaniments with the main course as always like mayo with our burgers, food was ok though.

Easy to order food from the app and the mains came out incredibly fast but it was also very hot. Attentive staff with the main meal, they came back to see if everything was okay. The buttermilk chicken was incredible. Ordered a brownie for pudding though and it came out frozen, no one came to check on us so wasn’t able to say anything. In the end it got very noisy because of football so we got up and left with said frozen brownie in hand. I asked for a refund and it was given instantly. They were very apologetic. I had a great time and would definitely go again.

Called in for lunch midweek, seated at a table which initially seemed fine until other people were seated extremely close to us (no social distancing!) Service was appalling. To be fair to the staff, they were way over stretched - 1 waiter and 1 waitress doing everything in the whole restaurant- seating customers, taking orders, doing drinks, bringing food out, collecting dirty plates. They were just spread too thin - people were asking for sauces which never arrived, food orders were coming out wrong, some customers seemed to be getting preferential treatment, getting served really quickly when people who arrived before them had been completely forgotten about. Our food arrived - one of the three meals was wrong - we then had to wait for cutlery and our drinks still hadn’t arrived. A quick midweek lunch turned into an hour and a half there - with an hour of it waiting for food. Would not return or recommend.

Went for a Sunday Roast. Greeted and taken to our table. Waitress came fairly quickly and took our order. Ordered a roast beef and a roast pork. Was told no roast pork which they had not had for a few weeks even though it was still offered on the menu. Ordered the turkey instead. We then waited for our lunch to come, and waited, and waited. We were not told that there would be a long wait for our food. After 40 minutes my partner went to find someone to ask where our food was. A young lady went off into the kitchen to ask and came out with it within a couple of minutes. It looked very nice BUT the plates were cold and the food on it was only lukewarm. Serving staff had all disappeared so we ate the meals as we were very hungry by this time. No one came to ask if everything was OK. The meal wasn't very good at all so we had puddings to fill us up and they weren't bad. We told the waitress about the food being on the cold side and her reply was "I will tell the kitchen". No apology was forthcoming. We paid our bill and on our way out had a word will the manager who just said "Oh sorry". The service was very poor they don't seem to be very concerned about their customers. Its about time these people realised that WE are keeping them in a job. We certainly won't be returning and wouldn't recommend to anybody.

We were enticed by the comprehensive vegan and vegetarian menu which we viewed online. I was impressed when we ordered at the bar as the very first question was concerning allergies which shows that this establishment is taking the health and welfare of its customers seriously. We had the lentil and vegetable pie with kale mash and steamed green vegetables and the vegan burger with chips and a tasty barbecue sauce. The food was delicious and well presented and we both thought the pub was smart and comfortable with a pleasing décor. Both Matthew, who sorted out and prepared our table and Rhys, our waiter, were very pleasant, polite and professional.

Back at the centurion to see the results of a recent upgrade. So, I brought the missus for a dinner and try some brew. She ordered a chicken and bacon salad and I ask for a slow cooked pork rib. Both dishes were abundant portions and the ribs were as massive as delicious. I finally notice the important part of the last works done in the pub…. The TOILETS!! Well… the toilets are an important place in a pub, and their state tell a long story about the place itself. And here everything is new!!!The centurion remains our local favourite.

We visited as a group of 4 for food at 7.30pm on a Sunday, we might as well not have bothered. They'd run out of all roasts, burger buns, steak pie, lamb hot pot and sea bass (and that's just what we tried to order). I wish this was the first time that this had happened but it wasn't as previous Sunday's have been the same.We gave up in the end and went to The Game Keeper who were very welcoming and had a full menu on offer. Very disappointing, we live nearby but not sure we'll bother going back for food again.

We have been to the Centurion many times and have never been disappointed. The food is always excellent,well cooked and nicely presented. Today I had the chicken and bacon salad which was so fresh and tasty and even had the calorie count and hubbie had the not so healthy ribs which he thoroughly enjoyed too. All the staff always seem very pleasant and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Today's visit was especially nice as the pub has reopened after refurbishment and they've done a great job. We can't praise Bill and his team enough and are already looking forward to our next visit in a few weeks time when they launch the new menu.

Attended for a quick Sunday lunch as a pause to our decorating and have a quick break. The overall experience was quite good and a speedy service however being early on a Sunday we would have expected the food to be a bit more recently cooked, at 13,30 we were served reheated and pretty dry food which on the whole was what you would be offered at end of service if you was that unlucky. Rubbery potatoes on the roast with pretty tough parsnips and overall luke warm food. Had nice meals here before but will certainly reconsider in the future my patronage.

As we have fairly recently moved up here from Ipswich Suffolk - 3 months ago - this being down the road from us is a bonus. Our recent visit on the 8th January was no exception, good food at very reasonable prices, even more so as I had a 50% of main meals voucher to use. Excellent 'Posh' fish & chips, with not one but two good sized pieces of fish - loverly!This place has a wonderful homely atmosphere - some pubs lack that cozy & safe feel with great staff & reasonable wait times for the food!As this is our new local pub restaurant, we will be visiting on a fairly regular basis at least monthy - keep up the good service!!!

Niche corner, food value good, service considering time of year good and priced about right. Menu varied pub type.

Having called for Sunday lunch this evening , I had one of the worst experiences for a Sunday lunch , they was 4 of us each having a Sunday dinner , 3 with the trio of meats and one having pork , we waited 45 minutes for food baring in mind all the tables round us was emptied , the waiter came to the table to tell us they couldn't make a pork dinner up due to no pork , which to be fair the waiter said we could change the pork dinner to a trio of meats dinner which we did , 20 minutes later the food arrives, the dinner was warm not hot , the meats on all the dinners was quite fatty, the stuffing balls was like stones , I couldn't even stab my fork through them , the green beans were still quite raw , the peas was still frozen in the middle , the Yorkshire pudding was like a crisp , the best thing was the couple of roast potatoes we each had , we then asked the waiter for some more gravy and mint sauce , that never came to the table for another 10 minutes by that time everyone had nearly finished , we poured the gravy on the dinner then a chuck of ice came out of the gravy jug too , the food was just awful, and the poor service didn't help either , the waiter never asked once if everyone was happy with their food , having been before for food in the week that was great , I felt very let down by the food and service that we received today , I felt I needed to share with you so you are aware of my dispointment

I reality this is probably 3.5 stars but it felt wrong to give it only 3. It's a fairly local pub to us so we often pop in, we ate dinner tonight and the 2 course set menu is great value at £9.99 (only £2 more for 3), I had garlic mushrooms and then the fish and chips, both were decent portions and good for what we paid. All washed down with a couple of pints of Peroni!

We wanted somewhere quick to eat on a wet November evening after a long drive. This fitted the bill. Good parking, pub grub, inexpensive, choice of ales chain eatery. A bit of a hiccup ordering when they checked an item on the menu, advised yes, it is available, but then, five minutes later found that it wasn’t. No big problem. Prompt courteous service. Perfectly okay.Th

My husband and I visited for lunch today, we've been here before but today we're especially pleased with our visit. We had a very comfy spot and it was a nice, quiet lunch time. We were advised of a half an hour wait which was fine and I don't believe we even waited this long in the end. We ordered from the set lunch menu 3 courses for just under £10 each. Having ordered from this we expected like usually in other places a smaller portion to the main menu however every course was full size! We had the mushrooms and nachos to start, the fish and chips which were huge and the brownie for pudding, we were stuffed! We really didn't expect such great value for money and would certainly order from this again. The staff were friendly and seemed to genuinely enjoy interacting with everyone. Thank you for a lovely lunch, haven't needed tea tonight!

My mum had a ham sandwich the ham was pre-packed. I had prawn sandwich the bread was dry. My husband had scampi which he said was nice. At know point did any staff come and ask us if everything was ok. Then a waitress came to clear plates even though one of us was still eating. The place looks run down and when we left none of the staff said thank you or said bye. Such a shame as it used to be a nice place.

After taking the wife to see Downton Abbey we decided to drive out towards Hykeham for a spot of lunch and popped into the centurion as we had never tried the place before... What a mistake on my behalf.

We ate twice during our stay nearby. Had to wait for food on both occasions, for which we were prewarned, but timings were not long and accurate. You must try the lasagne with garlic ciabatta.

Good food. Separate menu for Vegans with a decent varied choice plus desserts. Average price. Clean and friendly.

We came back to Centurion after having a really nice meal around a year ago and I have to say this will be our last visit as things seem to have gone downhill massively.

On a very warm evening we made our way to this main road (A1434) large site which was very busy, although most of the customers were out in the outdoor eating and drinking area. On a weekend it would seem appropriate to book in advance, as the dining area is not that big. There is ample parking and easy access for a wheelchair for customers with a mobility issue. Internally the decor is standard, however the tables looked distressed but the cleanliness was good and the carpets/flooring in good condition.

Sent food back after waiting over an hour. It was in inedible. I visited with 7 friends and they also were very disappointed with the service. Only 1 member of staff was pleasant. The rest were curt and generally miserable

Choice of 1 course 2 courses or 3 courses or main menu. I with a few others went for 3 courses but as we wanted prawn cocktail starter had to pay £2 more. Was a couple of pieces of rocket with 8 prawns in Marie sauce on top with 2 slices of bread that was not fresh half buttered. Asked for more butter and when it came there was water at the bottom of the dish and it was rock hard.

We visited this Pub during the week for a quick lunch. It's part of Ember Inns chain, so expect chain atmosphere and food. My companion had gammon, egg and chips with an onion ring side. I had pasta with artichokes. Both meals were fine. Nothing out of this world but tasty and cooked well considering its chain food. It was quiet and we did have to wait a good three-quarters of an hour for our food. For that reason I've deducted some points. I suppose we could get these meals from any national chain, so don't expect brilliance, but they did what was required.

Called in for lunch to find a very busy pub. Looked at menu which has a great choice of foods for main meals or a lighter lunch. It also has a fantastic selection of drinks including a great choice for the driver rather than the usual lemonade/cold. We both had sandwiches with chips which came quickly considering how busy it was. Both were fresh with a crisp side salad and non-greasy chips, a very tasty lunch. The menu has definitely tempted us to go back with the family.

The pub seemed decent from the outside but when sitting in the dining area it could do with a revamp as the material on the chairs had worn off. There was a bit of a wait for the food but that was explained on ordering. The food itself was bland and I found that the fish was very greasy. The portion size was on the small side, nearer a kids portion, overall poor, the only bonus was a decent treacle sponge pudding.

Breakfast was nice. The service was a little frosty as was the temperature. There was a lot of people in coats and even scarves. I know heating is expensive but please turn up the thermostat a notch. This is the second time recently that I’ve been and I have been cold. 🥶 Nobody checked back on the breakfast but it was very tasty as was the coffee
