Great pub by the river. Popped in for lunch as it was advertised as dog friendly and certainly was. Lovely atmosphere and the food was very well priced, good portions and quality. A special mention to Ruby who was very attentive and obviously happy in her job, well done Ruby we will be back next time we’re in Lincoln.

Now then. I can't fault the bar staff .... and perhaps I was very unlucky but visited the pub earlier this week at about 5pm. Goodness me! The patrons were certainly 'characters'. If they are typical clientele then this pub is to be avoided. It was like something out of the American Werewolf in London. If you're unfamiliar with the reference, they YouTube the scene in the Slaughtered Lamb.

Unusualy for a Masons pub there did not seem to be any Management control and a great dependence of it being in a good position to attract customers. There was no Marston beer on tap, only one member of staff on duty who had to deal with serving drinks, taking food orders and waiting on table and dispite trying hard could not cope. Add to that there was only one clean wine glass and no gin glasses at all available it really was a bit of a joke. And don't expect a good meal, I am sure it is a local problem as I have been to excellent Marston pubs in Lincolnshire but this was bad.

Is a Marston's pub so you know what to expect from a selection perspective. That said, the pint of Pedigree I had was absolutely divine in terms of the temperature, pour and flavour so credit to the staff for getting the fundamentals spot on. Service was a bit slow but I could have just come in at a bad time. Staff very friendly and pleasant! Went in the beer garden at the rear but was confused if I could have gone out front and sat on the tables by the Witham as a sign said not to. I didn't try the food.

Had a coffee in The Witch And Wardrobe last week and was pleasantly surprised. I hasn't been in the pub for years. In another life The Witch was the opening act in many a night of alcohol fueled fun. My judgement was clouded by those nights all those years ago. Nowadays my kids are the same age as I was when I was tumbling to and from the bar. However, lunchtime on a Wednesday and the pub was welcoming, clean and tidy and very comfortable indeed. The staff were friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our coffee before we headed off, all rested up. By the way, it was fantastic back in the day. It's just as good today though for totally different reasons.

The food and drink was very good and reasonably priced, especially the drinks. All of the staff we encountered were very friendly. Would definitely return.

Arrived with a group of mates to be greeted by Amanda. Very helpful and pleasant. Tables reserved and drinks got we sat down. Amanda then went from the bar to cook our dinner and was replaced by an equally very pleasant and helpful Hannah. Steak and ale pie was delicious. We then pondered desserts. Mentioned apple pie to Hannah who vanished off to the kitchen, and came back with the amazing news Amanda was going to make us apple crumble. What great service. Seven of us enjoyed this great service and very nice it was thanks.

Calls itself a village pub in the city centre and I thinks that is a very reasonable claim. Went there twice on a recent break and it was clearly frequented by locals on both occasions but they were friendly and welcoming as were the staff that served us. It’s certainly a no-frills pub with no gimmicks and none the worse for that. Would most definitely visit again if in Lincoln. Beer was good and there is a jukebox on which some great tunes were being banged out. Two very pleasant visits.

Someone has done a wonderful renovation of this hotel probably costing millions. However the staff consist of youngsters with zero communication skills, zero manners and zero desire to serve clients. I took my two daughters and son there for dinner. The bar is waiter service only and drinks were slammed down with a bad attitude. I went into the restaurant to enquire about our table and five or six young staff were hanging around the bar in there and totally ignored ne standing there like a lemon. I decided to leave rather than endure anymore and one of my daughters also came with me. The other two stayed for dinner which cost £120 without drinks and they said the service was slow and poor but that the food was good. I will never go back and am amazed that so many people were there accepting this level of service.

Received a jacket potato with a table spoon of filling. There was no bacon bits, we could hardly find the cheese, no butter. I asked where the filling was to be told that was the portion size. I asked for a refund, but they clearly ignored me or had selective hearing, and the chap just wandered off to serve other people and I was just stood there wondering what was going on. Wouldn't you ask the customer if there was anything else if they were still stood there, if nothing else to clarify things. He was a miserable chap, and I was polite, saying it's not their fault, I knew I'd get a better meal elsewhere. I then went to weatherspoons and got a jacket potato from there. The price was also cheaper than the William Foster, it came with a side salad and dressing, and plenty of cheese you could see and a pat of butter. I've added both pictures for comparison... Very disappointed. By the way, I'd only touched the jacket to open it open thinking there was filling inside... Boy was I surprised.
