The Centurion in North Kesteven

Very busy but still had great service. Beer best in town

Great atmosphere, friendly staff

Typical chain pub, food is good and quality always predictable. They have a good selection of ales, wines and spirits. Children are welcome as long as accompanied. Staff always friendly and helpful. Good parking area, and a nice outside seating are (not so good this time of year 🥶).

Since being managed under the new manager - Charlotte is think her name is.. she has started to transform the place. We can see the staff are responding to her in a positive manner and it is such a pleasant place to be. We look forward too seeing what else she is going to bring to the table and how all the staff are going to thrive under her management. Well done to everyone..!

Took my disabled mum for lunch, we ordered shepherd's pie and fish and chips, very nice food, lovely staff and atmosphere

Really enjoyed visiting The Centurion. Food was nice overall and met expectation. Drinks were great too. It was a quiz night, so enjoyed participating in that! Overall a good night out and ideal place for a catch up.

Had the shepherds pie was really enjoyable. Bradley behind the bar very helpful.

Fantastic food, cooked perfectly. Has a wonderful atmosphere and the service by Shona was impeccable. Will most definitely return & highly recommend.

Service was good and my wife's meal was good. Mine however left a lot to be desired.... I had a mixed grill, the chips, steak and peas were fine, the rest was awful, the sausages were black, they looked like they'd been cooked by a drunk at a BBQ. The eggs and mushroom (one, small) were burnt and virtually inedible, the gammon and chicken were just overcooked but as they are dry meats anyway they then tasted like cardboard. At over £16 I expected better, I've visited before and it was.... I won't be returning.

First time at the Centurion in a very long time. Food excellent,had Calamari to start with best portion I have had in Lincoln,mixed grill perfect, steak done perfect,veggie options great my partner didn’t know what to pick,she had Halloumi Fries to start and Lasagne better atmosphere then the Swanholme thank you Will be back

Big free car parking. Wheelchair accessible entrances and toilets. Good food at sensible price's. Good range of draught beers and other drinks. Good attentive staff. Friendly landlord. Supports Linc/Notts air ambulance.

Great atmosphere. Very busy but served quickly

My family and I attended the breakfast with Santa event. The whole experience was wonderful. Food was great, Santa gift bag on our table along with Xmas crackers. Staff were just lovely, very attentive and happy to help with our experience. Loved it.

Breakfast with Santa today! Really great attention to detail for the kids. Making reindeer mix at the Dust Station and having a tablecloth to colour in! So great’ and even a gift from the main man himself! Thanks to Charlotte and Bradley for making it festive and special. ❤️⭐️🎄

Just had festive menu. It was very tasty hot and well presented. Staff were very professional and treated with great respect as I'm disabled they us plenty of time to get settled. Thank you.

Great Christmas meal with great service, thank you

Super Christmas meal made by John and Robin served by Brad and Finn. Thanks all

Lovely Christmas food and great value.

Mixed grill was decent but the links could have done with a bit longer on the griddle. A bit anaemic! Tasty enough though. We both enjoyed.

Good as always Can b a bit cool early evening tho

Always had a good meal at the Centurion. The staff are always pleasant and the drinks are at an acceptable price. The inside and outside are well maintained so keep going back.

Brilliant night in great friendly pub

Food, special 3 courses £14.99 excellent. Cocktails to start whilst perusing menu pretty poor. Mohito without ANY fresh mint!?? unbelievable, Aperol Spritz, without a slice of orange also not really acceptable not withstanding it being very weak.

Always a great time, very accommodating. Shona is a great waitress who always gives the best service.

The food was tasty, portions decent and £12.99 for 2 courses is great value but the service is atrocious! Nearly 2hrs there and all we wanted was a quick bite on our journey . Bar staff are humourless and not friendly and only 1 lady on the floor running around waitressing in a packed out pub… rediculous

Waited 45 mins on meal being served.finished first course then had to wait 40 mins on our pudding.got fed up waiting so decided to call it a day and not have it.my main meal came without a side I ordered and eventually had to go and ask at bar for it,the bar staff went and got it but treated me as if I was in the wrong one.not even a sorry just a dirty look for asking. would eat elsewhere if I were you.cant give a zero so had to give one star

Comfortable eating area with pleasant staff Decent selection on the menu. Lunch time special set menu at very reasonable price.

The food was very good and the service was very welcoming

Really friendly staff , food was hot and a special shout out as the team were really attentive with my gluten allergy and made sure to accommodate for it. So thank you !

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, is 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 I'm 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 order because they were all in the kitchen and not behind the bar! We cleared our own table ALL night, 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 year 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.

Great atmosphere. Staff absolutely lovely Aiden was a joy to be served by would definitely come again 100% recommend

Loved the bbq beef rib mac and cheese was to die for, really melted in my mouth!!! Kidd loved both the beef sliders and the chicken sliders too!!!

Great place for a few drinks and a bite to eat whilst catching up with friends.

Went for Sunday lunch...have been before and wS very good..but yesterday..20th Oct...9 of us went...3 were children.. we adults had the roast...tge food was cold ..as we were waiting fir tge gravy.. we all left tge vegetables as they weren't cooked..couldn't cut into the leeks...very disappointed...was so looking forward to our roast dinner...spent well over 150 quid tgere with drinks yesterday ....

Absolutely fabulous food and service after a visit today. Fast and friendly staff, lovely atmosphere too. Did not expect the meal to be so nice as it was a 2 course deal but was happily surprised and thoroughly enjoyed it. We had sausage and mash and a chocolate orange pudding. Our waitress was lovely, friendly and helpful would definitely recommend 👌

Loved it, great atmosphere and didn't feel rushed (no-one taking plates away as fast as you finish etc). Had Sunday lunch duo - lovely selection of veg - only critique would have liked more chicken and maybe less gammon ? X

Loved the staff! The tall blonde lad with a mullet was really nice and a bit of eye candy so deserves all the tips we can give him

The wonderful Chloe served me with her wit and charm, and was very helpful as always,

Charlotte. is best barmaid and nicest person ever!

Great food. Friendly and helpful staff. Always made to feel welcome whenever I go.

Good choice of food and plenty to choice from of the menu

Great value for money with the offer on tonight. Friendly staff! Very busy though!

Always a decent pint and bite to eat. The landlord is incredibly friendly and will do anything to ensure you enjoy your visit.

We booked a table online for 18.15 and to vacate at 20.30 Food ordered for 4 people, starters and mains. No sign of anything for an hour, bought drinks at the bar. Spoke to the management and was told give us 20 minutes for your starters. 5 minutes later they turned up piping hot out of the frier. Mains turned up 20 minutes later, steak cold, sizzling hot chicken skewers cold but 2 burgers were fine apart from cold gravy and luke warm chips. Two mains were reimbursed but this place which is a local pub has deteriorated very quickly, even pouring a pint is a fiasco !! All new staff and it shows !!

The friendly staff when you arrive The choice and quality of the food

Nice place but food not great unfortunately.

Had a great experience here. Monday lunchtime, so not the busiest, but the staff were welcoming and attentive, the food was good and inexpensive. Top marks. Other than! And this is splitting hairs, we weren't asked if we needed more drinks or extra sauces when our food was delivered. So close to perfection!

The gents toilet needs the hand dryer to be put in its been to long with out them . And the gables left stuck out is not very safe. You can not falt the beer very good.

Just had lunch at the Centurion, Amelia served us, what a delight she is…..nothing to much trouble, cheery happy and knows her job, looking forward to going back, the food was first class fresh and well prepared.

Hi, I have been into the centurion today at lunch with my friend Mary and Amelia served us.I am gluten free and Amelia was so helpful with my choices and put me at ease.I chose the Shepherd's Pie and it was delicious so we will be returning again very soon, thanks again Amelia best wishes Carole.

Came in with the family 12 of us Everything was delicious. All food was hot! The staff was amazing with providing us a quiter area for our children

Great local staff are lovely and welcoming good atmosphere

Friendly staff and good service

Finn and Chloe always providing top service and make it a worthwhile visit

Staff were really helpful and welcoming, brilliant food.

Amazing place service is always spot on and chloe is the best highly recommended

Friendly management & staff, & very accomadating. Good food & value for money.

Absolutely shocking, pubs gone downhill 2 hour wait for food and couldn’t even wipe table down, even though we had a booking

Easy quick and affordable food, nice atmosphere and friendly helpful staff:)

Nipped in for a quick pint, service was fine, decor pleasant no complaints

Food is adequate, a bit dated but it's comfort food. The kitchen seems understaffed with at least thirty minutes to wait for food. Ordered coffee and dessert, coffee was long gone cold before dessert arrived. The restaurant wasn't busy at all. The poor chef is probably stressed and could do with a hand. The waiting staff didn't advise on length of wait until we went and asked where our food was. The response both times was that they are short staffed.

Chloe has transformed this pub, she is a lovely person, very friendly and approachable, I bring my friends round who come from Bristol and Leeds, they love it there; the food is great, we eat there regularly, the staff are so friendly, it’s a genuinely nice place to go. I highly recommend the Centurion in North Hykeham for food, drinks or a friendly chat.

Service and food top notch just a little too long wait time at the bar.

Had a delicious bar meal here. Would come again.

Okay pub, large outside sitting area, quite nice inside. Visited twice in a week and was told there was over a hour wait for food, so we left. I did notice however that there were food delivery workers by the kitchen door to pick up their orders. So maybe the long wait for food was due to them giving priority over the customers in house. Either be a pub serving food of be a takeaway because doing both does not seem to work.

Short staffed but did a good job and apologised for the meal being late - but it was hot and delicious

Waited an age for food, which was very average for the price, and wait, not somewhere I will be returning in the near future

Quite disappointing visit. Food requested not available (again). The colleague passed my meal to my hand and the plate was so hot it burnt me, when I called out, he didn't acknowledge this and walked away. After the meal I went back to bar to order drinks, to see a new note saying last orders at 9.30. Would think twice before returning. Such a shame as not much choice to eat out locally.

Sunday dinner appauling mostly frozen no mash or boiled only frozen roast Service non existent had to ask for table to be cleared and desserts to be served and we were the only diners there! First and last visit would not reccomend

Very lovely staff members, was served by Jack who was very friendly and talkative. Lovely pub!

Great place, superb atmosphere, best in Hykeham. The staff are excellent and very welcoming, Chloe does an excellent job at keeping everyone with a drink in their hand!

The best pub in Lincoln, Conner is an outstanding barman and Cloe runs the bar really well.

This is the best pub ever. It’s our local and we’ve been coming for 4 years. The food is ace thanks to the kitchen manager and staff who graft hard. The beer is always on point with changing beer taps on cask with a great choice to choose from. All the bar and kitchen staff are amazing, including Chloe and Connor tonight. Thank you. We will sss you all soon!

Awesome local pub, great food at reasonable prices, Steff & Hana are the best chefs ever. Good atmosphere. Thanks 👍

Lovely pub, great atmosphere and very friendly staff. The food is delicious and the drinks are nice.

Such a great place, so welcoming, i bring my little boy, great food! Especially the sticky toffee pudding!

Amazing atmosphere that was friendly and welcoming, would absolutely recommend for a nice meal out or even just a drinking session. Service is amazing as always.

Staff and food is amazing! We often come for food. We come with our 2 children and our little boy is autistic. The staff have been amazing and always find us a quite table in the corner away from noise and lights that is more suited to our son. They always interact him and make us feel welcome The food is always amazing and thekitchen always listen to our fussy food orders 😂 and our requests We will definitely be returning

Had a lovely meal, haddock & chips. Fish was nice and fresh, food was hot and served within a good time. Staff are all friendly and helpful especially Jonny, Finn, Charlotte and Chloe.

Terrible meal I sent the soup back as it was so watery and tasteless. The thandori chicken was overcooked and hard. Shame as I think in the past it has been a good place to go and eat.

Been twice both times my app does not show the stamps even when the staff did it the last 😒 Went today was told kitchen not open untill 12.15 duty to a accident Then went order my food at 12.00and was told there will be a extra 45 min wait whilst they get ready 🙄 absolute shambles avoid at any cost

I visited during the afternoon. Nice and quiet. Good food and quick service all at reasonable prices🙂

Writing this review as me and my fiancée ordered from the centurion and can i just say wow also much credit to the chef tom that went out of his way to write a little note food was amazing everything came with the order and was all still piping hot 10/10 in my books

Went into this the pub the other evening with my little girl, food was amazing and the staff were brilliant especially Chloe

Great food, great beer Chloe and Excellent service from Chloe and Amelia

First time I ve been in this place for years since falling out with Myra Hindley and Gestapo Bill the so called landlords and heard they had finally gone 😭🙃😁about time.. first impressions it needs updating very badly tired worn out but never tried the foods place seems to be happy pub with good beers so yes I will be back 😀😀😀🍻

Don't understand when you book a table. Arrive on time. Order and pay for meal, then have to wait nearly an hour for it to arrive. Not good enough when you have other stuff arranged.

Place is run down plants growing over the windows the place need an update

It was a great experience from start to finish. I booked a table for 22 people. I sent in the pre orders. The staff were so helpful and friendly and couldn't do enough for us. The food was great and fantastic service! Thank you Centuriun!

The inside of the bar itself is absolutely fantastic. The staff are incredibly friendly who work immediately behind the bar. The toilets are clean and smell clean. However, the outside is where the smoking area is and all the outside tables and huts could really do with a damn good clean. When I say clean, I specifically mean the patio could do with a very good pressure wash and the weeds could do to be pulled in the fence could do to be mended where it is slightly Broken.

Went their for Sunday lunch. Not overally impressed. Table menus suggested better for an evening out.

Came in on our anniversary, i had a steak that was just a chunk of rubber could not even cut it with a steak knife. Told nice lady who took plates away who said sorry. My wife had fish which was nice. Spent over £40. Was not even offered a free drink.

There was none of us in the group. One of us had steak which was tough too hard gammon but the pineapple wasn’t a pineapple ring. It was a piece and it was very hard. Couldn’t cut. It had mixed grill beef with the state was tough sausages undercooked red wine lasagne is okay curries were okay, felt that stuff that was cooked in the kitchen wasn’t up to standard

Only popped in for a quick drink will return for food

It was nice of them to fit us in didn’t need to book a table for 5 of us the food was not that good it’s a shame that look good but was not

Great food at a reasonable price. Staff very welcoming too

Very nice meal with friends. Good value. Thanks Phil

Today we had a fantastic meal at the Centurion, food was excellent and well prepared and cooked to perfection. Everywhere was clean,staff were polite and very friendly, the main and most important part of our experience was how helpful they were to my garlic allergy. Chloe the manageress went through all the things we ordered to check there was nothing garlic related, we had steak which was done on a separate grill. Thank you to Chloe and the team you were all fantastic we will return highly recommended Bryan

We had a nice family meal at the Centurian at the weekend. Sat next to the open fire, which was a great spot. The food was nice, it was served quickly considering how busy the pub was, it was hot and tasty, and what you'd expect from pub grub. The gravy on the roast was really flavoursome, I enjoyed it. The staff that we encountered were all welcoming, helpful, and attentive. They really made an effort to check in on us. The only thing that I will add is that the smaller appetite option on the children's menu is suggested for up to age 7, personally, I'd say the portion size isn't enough for a 7 year old. We'll go for the bigger appetite option for our children if we return with them. The pub has lots of offers on food and drinks throughout the week, we'd like to try the steak one. After a pleasant experience on Sunday, we'd like to return for another meal some time soon.

Ordered on Deliveroo Will be back again Thank you for the nommy food 😍😍
