The best restaurants in Minster Lincoln East Midlands

Authentic Italian hospitality close to the centre of Lincoln. Grazie Fabio and your regular clientele for making me so welcome for lunch. Delicious pizza and pasta offerings and fine coffee. Well worth a visit.

Amazing salt n pepper chicken. Had at lunchtime today 😋

We had dinner here one quiet weekday evening. We had a very nice 3 course nice meal chosen from an extensive menu. The helpings were just of the right size for us (as pensioners), the food was tasty and served hot. The waitress was really polite, helpful and pleasant. The restaurant is located in a rectangular room well away from the bar areas, not particularly intimate but restful (I think it doubles up as a function room). There is a decent sized free car park at the rear of the pub (access is from a side road, not directly from the main road through Sleaford). Price wise, it was very reasonable. We would happily eat here again.

We ordered the SET 1 set meal for two & we thoroughly enjoyed it. Was blown away with the variety on offer and the taste 🌶️!! Will definitely be visiting again 🥘!!!

Tenía el plato de compartir, se veía bien, pero no puedo sacar el sabor químico graso de mi boca. Creo que probablemente fue cocinado en aceite viejo/quemado. Mesas exteriores apiladas con vasos usados y mesas cubiertas con bebida pegajosa derramada. Solía ser un pub muy agradable. Parecía descuidado y sucio. No volverá

La comida es deliciosa, las porciones son justas y bellamente presentado. El servicio fue excelente. La vista de la catedral de Lincoln es una ventaja.

Had a take away slice of cake. Not very good, I was really looking forward to it too only to be very disappointed. I hope for people that spend a lot of money here that they have a better experience.

Cosy pub. Friendly service. Good price for beer. Unfortunately, vegetables are not served with the main course.

Sit at a table, don’t expect your wine to be the same price as the menu. When you get to the bar, a sign says the prices differ. Bar staff wouldn’t have any discussion about it. Is the hotel too poor to adapt their printed menu? Even a notice in the menu would help. It’s careless and poor form. I might be one insignificant voice but something must be said. Didn’t like it years ago, heard nice things, came back years later and it’s still the same…tacky.

Great location for both the cathedral and castle. Many good restaurants within walking distance. Breakfast was good and the staff was excellent. Parking on site is a real plus

Made welcome from the excellent staff from the first step inside. Menu was great, loads of choice, good priced deals for tapas plates, main meals good size for price too, big drink menu. Restaurant clean and welcoming. Thanks for a good meal out on our visit to Lincoln.

Went to the Fox with 5 friends (couples). This pub is close to home however we dont tend to go in there often. The night started well, drinks were flowing and we were having a good time. We overheard one of the bar staff asking for illegal substances, one of the group made a passing comment, and another lady (presumably the owners wife) stormed upto the table stating she'd be "watching us like a hawk". We calmly explained that we thought she was directing her hawk like vision at the wrong group and maybe she should assemble her nest a tad closer to home... She was clearly and unfortunately intoxicated herself (professional for working behind a bar, I know) and demanded that we must leave after our next drink. Despite working behind the bar, she was outside drinking and smoking most the night, one of the group asked her friends for a lighter, to which her and her group said "do not answer"- as if we werent human or present. We are local people and felt personally attacked by the lady's mannerisms . Especially baring in mind she was a senior member of staff (owners wife!) We put plenty of hard earned money in the pub tonight and were left feeling like criminals, we even volunteered to be searched to prove our innocence, which was promptly refused. All we wanted was a few nice drinks at our local pub for a change and were left feeling like outsiders by individuals (staff) who are clearly incapacitated and incapable of deciphering between drug users and young working class persons trying to enjoy a drink. At the end of the night I went to talk to the actual owner about how we'd been treated, expecting some clarity and lord forgive me for asking but perhaps an apology. Baring in mind this man is supposed to own several pubs, he seemed to have absolutely nil sense of customer service and even though he wasnt in the pub most of the night night was talking to me like I was in the wrong, solely due to his intoxicated wife (staff member) giving him an extremely one sided version of events - which were totally incorrect. One of our group didn't appreciate the way he spoke to me, and was rude back - as anyone with a backbone would be after the way we were treated tonight. He raised his voice and declared us all barred, despite me talking to him politely and calmly, all he was worried about was that he'd had a long drive, not that us as a group have lives, problems, and jobs too. Its unfortunate that a pub in such a good location treats its local punters so poorly after spending a small fortune in their unkept pub. Other than us, there were two people in the pub - I now understand why. I appreciate there are two sides to every story, however other bar staff have since said we were treated unfairly and that the owner and wife were extremely rude to us as a group. Its disgusting and people like this should not be running a pub. Until new ownership is found we wouldn't dream of returning even if the man (who'd through no fault of ours had a long drive) thought with a level head for a second and decided to unbar us. We are young couples who felt discriminated against through totally poor judgement tonight and what was supposed to be a great night out with friends for a change has been morphed into a poor display of total incompetence by its own owners. This pub is always closing down/re-opening and with owners as such it would come as no suprise to happen again. Hope new ownership comes and we can make the Fox a proper local.

Went with friends , we were all so dissapointed , the food was cold , only one veg which was cauliflower which I don't like , all I had was 2 tiny slices of pork and roast potatoes , I was still hungry when id finished so were my friends so we went off to another place for a hot pudding , never again , disgusting food
