The best restaurants in Castle Lincoln East Midlands

This is the absolute best coffee house around. Impeccably clean, the friendliest staff, the coffee is perfect and the food is delicious. A wonderful place to sit and watch the world go by.

My daughter with milk and egg allergies was desperate for some vegan ice cream on our long trek up Steep Hill. Unfortunately our timing was just out and we missed the ice cream place where we had intended to go by 3 minutes! We happened to walk by this place and when asked were told they had 2 types of vegan sorbet. Now my daughter gets pretty frustrated at being fobbed off by the offer of sorbet in place of ice cream (the latter containing milk/cream of plant based variety and the former being frozen squished fruit with no milk/cream) so was initially reluctant to try it. We are SO glad she changed her mind. In all honesty, the sorbet was absolutely delicious and better than any ice cream we have ever tasted! It was creamy AND fruity (we had a scoop of the lime and a scoop of the strawberry). She loved every mouthful. We will definitely be buying again when we visit Lincoln in the future. Thank you for making a little girl with allergies incredibly happy 🥰

Buena comida, personal amable y un ambiente encantador. No puedo recomendar lo suficiente. Tuvimos una velada encantadora y tenemos suerte de que pudieran encajarnos en

What a great place for a healthy and tasty lunch. The menu is small (which I love) and there are daily specials for the soup and stew according to the in-season veg. A very friendly welcome.

It was a lovely place to visit, the food was so fresh and really well presented it tasted so good !! Service was great, definitely will visit again, thank you for a lovely meal

Hidden gem as tucked away off nearby Steep Hill with 7 small tables, thus a quiet and intimate setting. We ordered the Omasake Set for 2. The sushi was fresh and delicious. The waiter and chef were friendly and knowledgeable.

Great pub. Great beer. Great customers & staff.

Went here with my partner on valentines. Service was poor the staff spent lots of time chatting to each other by the stairs and not enough time attending to customers. We asked for a bag to take some of our food home and instead of bringing us the bag the server took the food that we wanted to take home and I watched her pick it up with her bare hands and put it into the bag (the whole palms of both of her hands were on my leftover naan bread), so those breads will be going in the bin and I am quite disgusted by this. Tongs should've been used, or she could've given me the bag and I could've put my own food away. She had just been clearing peoples plates and she didnt wash her hands between this and handling my food. When she gave us the bag she basically threw it on our table and it toppled over onto the dirty table, instead of handing it to us. Another thing to note is that I am British born but of indian heritage and I really noticed that me and partner were ignored a lot of the time, whereas caucasian customers were attended to quickly. I do feel there was some sort of bias in the way that we were treated and served. I also found the food quite bland and flavourless, not spicy at all, which was really disappointing. Ordered the fish pakora and it was basically plain battered fish goujons with no flavour or spice. Also ordered the tandoori deluxe which for some reason came with a vegetable curry and naan bread which is not mentioned anywhere on the menu. Disappointed with the selection of meat we were given in the tandoori deluxe. It seemed to be a selection of random bits of chicken, for example we had one drumstick, one bony breast piece. The menu doesn't mention that this contains bones. Some of the cuts of chicken were dark and tough and not very nice. We also only got two bits of lamb and it was supposed to come with chicken tikka but we didn't get any of this. The saag paneer and bombay aloo were bland and not spiced. The menu says the bombay aloo is medium spiced, it's not it's very mild. A lot of my friends had raved about this place and I came home thinking I could've cooked myself a better more flavoursome meal.

I’ve never been to naked marshmallow as a store before and I was immediately greeted with a smile by Oliver. I was so impressed by the variety of flavours and options they had which made perfect Christmas gifts for my family. Oliver was funny, talkative and was really happy to help. Will definitely be back to buy more (for me) Oliver was a true asset to my in store experience :)

Great choice of beers. Beer garden is brilliant.

Such a lovely bustling place. Great food and great customer service. Thanks

Enjoyed a very good meal here tonight. Classic British food, particularly excellent pies. Tried steak and kidney, steak and Stilton, steak and Guinness and Bangers and cheddar mash. Food was great but spoilt slightly by being swamped in an, albeit good, gravy. It would have been nice to have the choice of the gravy in a jug on the side to pour it where and how much you wanted, hence the 4 rather than a five rating which it would have otherwise been. Starters were interesting and varied, soufflé a little stodgy but garlic mushrooms on toast in a Madeira sauce and French onion soup were great. Shared a generous cheeseboard of 4 good cheeses between two which was good value. Would have been nice if the cheeses had rested out of the fridge for a while before they were served as the soft cheeses were a bit hard. Overall though with 2 bottles of wine, a beer and a port, good value at £183 for 4. Service was excellent and attentive; we will definitely visit again.

What a find! The Tapas was fresh and tasty and the drinks well priced and varied.  We sampled a range of dishes of our own choosing and then the waiter suggested the stuffed pepper: which we all loved!  I thought the food was authentic and very well priced/sized.  We were two adults and two kids (age 8 and 9) and we all really enjoyed it!  I would recommend this for an easy, yummy dinner.  Very relaxed and no issues.  We even sent a whatsapp earlier in the day as we thought we were running 15-30 minutes late and got an immediate reply saying not to worry and our table would be waiting!   We sat upstairs and were worried we would be invisible but the service was amazing; friendly, attentive but not overbearing!

Can’t say enough about this chippy was in today just passing through called in same friendly welcome from the counter staff. Manners impeccable and the food to match

Realmente disfruté de nuestro almuerzo del domingo aquí. Grandes porciones de verduras bien cocidas y solomillo raro. El personal es amable y eficiente. Cómodos asientos y un buen ambiente.
