The Swan Holme in Lincoln

Dog Friendly Love Pub/ Restaurant. Food was lovely although was disappointed with the calamari as needed to be bigger bits so less crunchy still okay, also missing Alioli :(. Quick service very clean and good atmosphere.

Food was gorgeous the sirloin steak was succulent, staff very friendly and lovely atmosphere

Lovely atmosphere and great food

Brilliant sunday roast, would definitely reccomend, great drink options as well!

We had a family meal here after our wedding. They were very accommodating. The server was a very friendly girl. Food was fantastic was brought out all at the same time. Lovely atmosphere

Had a lovely brunch this morning. The team at the swanholme are always so lovely!

It was extremely good, we visited with 2 friends never been before but was recommended by another friend for Sunday lunch and I googled best place near Lincoln for Sunday lunch, the place was really busy, the staff were friendly, the food was fantastic (impressive for how busy it was) we had 2 Lamb 1 Turkey & 1 trio n it was all served nice & hot and delicious we all had mini pudding & coffee and for the money we were very impressed, we'll be back soon with more friends & our pooch 👍

Fantastic Sunday Roast. First time at this pub and location/decor is beautiful with amazing food and fabulous lous service. 🤗

The lamb roast was excellent. Vegetables were perfectly cooked. Our server Libby looked after us very well.

Amazing! Sunday roast was absolutely gorgeous. Staff were Great! Attentive, and friendly Libby our server was the best 🎈🤩

Came here for lunch with the old man (his suggestion), so pleased that we did :) Probably one of the nicest English pub/restaurant I have been to. The place is clean and welcoming. Surroundings are beautiful, I imagine it is particularly nice in the summer, sat near to the lake. We had their 2 course menu with small desert and coffee. Food was delicious, very good value for the quality and quantity. Best of all was the service. Super friendly and professional. Highly recommend. Thanks - can't wait to return :)

Very nice food quick service highly recommended 👌

Friendly tavern with a nice ambience,clean and well maintained food/bar areas. Friendly and pleasant staff. Allows dogs in certain areas. Outside seating with a view of a lake. Undergone a refurbishment June 2024

Unfortunately my starter was overcooked and inedible. I did mention this to the waitress who apologised but there was no mention of a replacement or refund or even the offer of a soft drink by way of goodwill gesture. Sadly this is not the first time I have had questionable food from The Swanholme but after a friend had recently been I thought I would give the place another chance. Sadly I won't be returning.

Friendly yet efficient staff, lovely ambience.

Really lovely pub, food was delicious, the staff were friendly and professional. Jess was my server and was very lovely. Thank you

A wonderful welcome from the staff Jess the Front of House Was very pleasant and Professional Ordered our food and came in great time Wonderful meal

We visited last sunday for a birthday meal. The whole experience was amazing. The food was perfect and the next courses came quickly. Our server was Jess. She couldn't have been any more helpful. She was excellent with our 2 year old daughter who absolutely loved Jess! We will return again and would recommend going!

Please note, that is a grilled lemon NOT a tomato 🤪

I really like the Swan Holme. It has a nice local pub feel, with a good drinks selection, a pub-like ambience and nice staff. But, the food is really good too - a modern unpretnetious menu which is closer to restaurant food than "pub grub". Enough options to satisfy a variety of tastes and decent portions, with staff who seem happy to help.

Lovely pub with great food. The lamb skewer with hummus and flatbread was unbelievably tasty!

A fantastic Sunday Roast and the service was great too. Thank you!

Lian was amazing and attentive without being oppressive and a pleasure to meet

Fab Sunday roast. We both had the trio and the pork was my fave. Lian was a gem. Will definitely be back!

Great food and service this evening at the Swan Holme. The slow cooked pork belly in particular was superb. Thank you Lian for looking after us all.

Amazing food! Had lamb Sunday lunch, which was perfection. Beautiful, happy, smiley service. Definitely one of our favourites

Ishka gave us great service, food was amazing

Had a great lunch with other members of the WI. Very welcoming and friendly service and delicious food in a lovely setting. 5 of us sat around a round table which was very sociable for chatting.

The atmosphere, service and food is excellent.

Had lovely meal with very helpful staff

Real nice friendly staff with good choice of food price competitive

Nice pub but probably caters more for restaurant than pub, lovely lakeside location though.

Lovely pub with restaurant. Dog friendly . Nice seating outside by the water . Big carpark

Haven't been here for a while, it had recently been refurbished and they've made a great job too. New chairs furnishing even wall paper. The toilets were the most improved with new sink units. Freshly painted everywhere. Same friendly staff and great food. Had to wait a little longer than usual today (18/09/24) for our meals. We had bacon chop and chicken parmigiana.

Great food, great atmosphere ever since the refurb, menu not too extensive and pets allowed too, highly recommend

Libby was such an excellent server - could not have been more helpful. She was patient and helpful. Thank you!

This has become our favourite place to eat and worth the 45 minute drive to get here. The menu is very varied and perfectly cooked.

Had a lovely meal here the other evening food was really good and hot and our server was great. Only normally drink here as its my local but will be back again soon to eat many thanks

Fabulous place, cannot recommend highly enough. Go, you won't be disappointed folks.

Absolutely fantastic meal again at The Swanholme yesterday dinner time. Such a beautiful local pub which has just recently been refurbished and it’s absolutely stunning. All the staff are very friendly as always, service with a smile. Thank you for having us again and we look forward to seeing everyone again soon.

Great staff food excellent . Will be back

Great food as always! Annie was great and worked really hard to make sure we had a good night.

Very surprised with the amount of fresh vegetables offered. The meal was excellent! Really enjoyed by the whole family.

Staff are always lovely and food is always great! Ishka is always so helpful and friendly!!

Lovely atmosphere, great food, and the service was great. After an issue with our drink, it was solved quickly and without any problems. Our favourite pub!

Beautiful food and a lovely Sunday Dinner. The atmosphere is lovely and I highly recommend the food here.

Fantastic place to come on a relaxing Sunday afternoon. Friendly atmosphere and staff, everyone was very helpful and attentive. Food was stunning, taste was brilliant and the presentation was really good.

Visited last night. 4 tables 2 tables finished their food before the other 2 tables got theirs. Food was really bad a poor quality for the price. I had the fish and chips, it’s was worth about £5 they charge £17. Cold chips also came out. 4 drinks at the bar came to £27 London prices. Everyone who went said how much it has gone downhill.

Service a bit slow but food was good and plenty of it

The food was excellent and the staff delightful

The steak was not good quality (rib eye) with a lot of fat and gristle. Was not asked at any time by the staff who served us whether everything was OK with the food, not even at the point of paying. Felt I needed a prompt as was quite embarrassed to mention it but would have done if asked. We've been before a year or two back and the food was better quality. Quite disappointed given the reputation.

Free parking Great service staff are very attentive Drinks a little expensive Over £9 for large wine I had a sandwich, and it was over £18 The food was lovely Easy ways to pay 4 of us wanted to pay our own bills Definitely 4 stars 🌟

Very nice meal, friendly helpful staff

My favorite pub in Lincoln,whit beautiful view of the lake

Really good food and really nice atmosphere now they have revamped it! Took pictures of puddings, not main meal though as was too hungry! 🤤😋😋

Had a major interior and exterior update. Nice new canopied outside eating area and inside also fully redone. Food still good as was choice of drinks but food prices have taken a serious shift north, so most mains now in £25+ range which is too strong for anything other than occasional visits. Also, pizza menu which was great now very limited unless you crank out high cost extra toppings. Would be 5 stars if prices were more realistic.

Nice place sat outside dog friendly good atmosphere

Fantastic pub and treatment. Friendly and professional. Lots of seating in and out, plus the lake and birdwatching. Lovely place to have a drink. Food looked and smelt great.

The staff could not cope. Terry.

lovely meal, libby served us tonight and was fab! kaden also helped us and was super friendly:) will be returning!

We went to The Swan Holme for a celebratory meal for a 16th and 70th birthday. We was served by the lovely Jess who was absolutely amazing and so personable. Nothing was too much trouble for Jess, service was with a smile and she had so much time and energy when serving us. Jess made our experience very special. She is such a credit to the establishment. Thank you so much Jess! X

Due to an unexpected need to stay overnight in Lincoln tonight, I found The Swan Holme on the Search For Sights app. They have a lovely large car park next to the lake,which was perfect for us to stay in our motorhome On arrival the staff were all very friendly and helpful. We were made to feel very welcome and both had a delicious meal in a lovely environment. Definitely recommend this excellent pub.

Wow. What a change from last time I went when the food was absolutely beautiful. The service was initially slow, we waited nearly 20 minutes to be offered a drink and have our orders taken. When the food came my husband's was ok. Not hot but not cold. Mine on the other hand was cold, not even warm. It was like lunchtime's warm ups without being warmed up! The food was, to put it bluntly....disgusting. Cold and despite 3 attempts to get a hot meal it didn't happen. The first meal was cold, it was sent back and came back having been microwaved (my half cut potato still on the plate), it was now soggy greasy and limp so was returned. The third attempt came out (supposedly a new meal) and again cold. In the end I walked out without eating anything as the attempts to provide food were so bad. In fairness to the waiting staff and manager, they tried and were incredibly apologetic. We weren't the only people complaining about cold food either. Whatever has happened since the makeover? The light above us was hanging out of the wall and the food awful. Definitely will not be going again and definitely wouldn't recommend.

Really nice pub great food, nice outdoor space looking over the lake.

Popped in for a quick drink. Ordered snacks and I cream, all delicious.

First time visit to Swan Holme.A family gathering whilst on holiday. Plenty of parking on the level. Greeted on arrival by a well presented smiling young lady. Showed to our reserved table and service was immediate but not pushy. The waitress was very adept and very good at her job. Drinks served and food arrived shortly after. All orders correct well presented and hot The Kebabs are excellent The place was very clean,well lit and tables well spaced. An excellent evening and get together in good surroundings We would visit again if only we didn't live 160 miles away. We have found Vintage Inns good value and a hig h standard and seek them out.This one ticks all the boxes.

Sunday lunch here is worth the money, can get busy so it pays to book in advance

We visit the Swan Holme regularly and have always had excellent service and great food. We have always had excellent service from all the staff.

We were in Lincolnshire for the day and stumbled on this pub by accident and I'm so glad we did...We didn't sample the food as we were on a tight schedule, but we had drinks. The place itself is absolutely beautiful, so clean inside and out. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is lovely. Will definitely visit this place again.

Took over 1 hour for our food to be delivered, it was barely warm, asked for well done beef on one it came medium rare, they took it away, flashed it one side and was still very pink on the other. If we asked for it well done showing no pink, then that is what we should have got, that is on us….they took it away again and brought pork instead, by this time we had already eaten our meal, well as much as we could. It was cold. We saw the kitchen from where we was sat and could see plates and plates of people’s dinners just sat there for ages waiting to go out. Whole experience was awful. Will not return

It's the best pub in the whole world! Definitely worth a visit

Our server Libby was amazing, so attentive without being overbearing. Would recommend to others to come here as everything was lovely

First time visiting again after the relaunch and everything on the menu sounds amazing. We came for Sunday lunch and find it’s one of the best places in Lincoln for it. The atmosphere is amazing and the updated garden really makes an amazing place for a relaxing drink

Emm and lobby thank you so much for the service you provided

Amazing food. Great portion size and lovely staff. Definitely will be a more frequent visitor.

Group of 8, walk in, very welcoming and excellent service.

Had such a lovely meal and our server Libby was so lovely as well. Would definitely recommend :)

Lovely outdoor area, lush food. Dogs welcome :)

The server we had was a delight, she did her job very well. Our server was Annie. Would definitely recommend going.

Fantastic food and service. Anya was amazing going the extra mile to make our evening perfect.

Food was amazing and we received great service with a smile from our waitress Libby, who was extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you

We had a lovely meal and the new look restaurant is a big improvement. Libby, our server, is a real asset to your team as she clearly cares about customer satisfaction. We would definitely return!

came for food tonight and it was lovely, our server was libby and she was fab too !

Food was divine, a perfect space for a date and or a family meal. Food is more expensive than other places but boy do you get your moneys worth. Definitely recommend for a special occasion or just to pop down spontaneously

Libby was our server tonight and she was lovely! Food was amazing would definitely recommend :)

Great atmosphere, I was served by Annie, she is very polite and such a lovely person, she made me feel welcomed, would definitely recommend

Lovely food, great ambience, a plethora of fav service staff, one of whom stood out in particular and her name was Libby

This place is cosy and elegant perfect place for a drink or food. Lovely view of the lake

We had a lovely time when we came for a meal with the family...fantastic, friendly team! Has alway been a lovely pub and we were very impressed with the new look after the refurb. Food was absolutely delicious, thank you to John who was the chef cooking for us today! Always love our visits to the Swanholme!

Me and my Wife are always looking for places to eat, we have definitely found our new favourite. Amazing atmosphere and even better service. Nothing was too much for Emma and Jess. They also pull a good pint.

Excellent service and even greater food. Pay my thanks to chef John for a fab meal!

Emma was brilliant, great service gave us a great night.

We had libby as our server, she was absolutely brilliant, answering whatever questions we threw at her! She checked on us with a smile on her face. Working in hospitality myself I could see how attentive and observant she was of all her tables, will ask for her everytime ❤️

Delicious food, wonderful pub and Libby was very attentive! Will definitely come back and recommend to others 😀

had a great time, excellent food, thanks to chef john for the fantastic meal.

Had a lovely meal and the service from Libby was amazing !!

Myself and some friends came in for a meal Tuesday evening and wow. The places was nicely done up, staff was friendly and everywhere was tidy no empty glasses or dirty tables in sight. Food was lovely, only thing I can say is there was no chorizo for a starter but it did not ruin our experience at all. We will definitely go back again. The best thing I found was that the entire place is dog friendly, whilst I was looking at the dog station a member of staff Emma approached me and gave me some information on the dog station. Which I was really impressed with how friendly and informative she was We will 100% be back.

Excellent food and really friendly and great service from Libby

Came for food today and it was 10/10. Libby was fantastic and super helpful! Will be returning :)

the restaurant looks absolutely wonderful after the refurb and i would like to say i had an amazing meal thanks to chef john. 100% worth the visit.
