The best restaurants serving British food in Castle Lincoln East Midlands

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.

Pasé a comer algo. Precioso y limpio, gran ambiente cálido, comida sabrosa y bebidas calientes encantadoras. Personal acogedor. Instalaciones limpias.

Beautiful place but quite expensive

He tratado de dar a este lugar el beneficio de la duda manteniendo una crítica ya que solía ser mi chippy favorito. ¡Pero en las últimas tres ocasiones he llegado a casa para encontrar la comida equivocada, la comida poco cocinada y ahora apenas comida! Esta noche pedí unas patatas fritas medianas y recibí este pobre esfuerzo. Simplemente siente que claramente ya no queda ningún cuidado o estándar en el lugar, lo que es una pena. No volveré de nuevo.

La bienvenida más cálida que creo que he recibido de un café! Con 2 niños y un perro, comer fuera puede ser estresante, pero esto fue completamente quitado aquí. Los niños ofrecieron colorear para mantenerlos entretenidos, nuestro perro ofreció agua y golosinas tan pronto como entramos por la puerta. Mi marido y yo cuidamos tan atentamente, nada a muchos problemas. Y para colmo nuestro almuerzo y chocolates calientes eran deliciosos! Sin duda volvería de nuevo, gracias por cuidar de nosotros!

Amazing food. I was very very pleased with my visit. I was served by a woman called Emma with blonde shoulder length hair and glasses. She was so lovely and welcoming! Gave me exactly what I wanted unlike last time when I was served by Sharon who I found to be quite rude. There was a good selection of food that was reasonably priced. I’m very happy with this service. Thank you. Also love your cream cake!

On arrival you find a few dining tables between the reception and some sofas. Not very inspiring at all. It looks more like a hotel lobby than a restaurant, which in fact is what it is, the hotel lobby. Even if apparently they were fully booked, we were the only people seated to eat. Visibly the staff were more interested in talking between themselves than serving anyone. As I said we were the only occupied table, so having waited for some service I had to go myself to get the menu from the two girls chatting behind the bar. Having got the 'cocktails menu' and took some time to choose, we gave our order (after going to find someone to give it to) and she looked at us and said 'we don't do cocktails ! and then just walked away !, obviously it was beyond her intellectual capacities to tell us that when she gave us the drinks menu. Finally the food arrived - which was a surprise because the food was 'good', it would seem that the chef, who seems to be the only person thats focused on any remote sense of quality. Bravo to the chef ! very well presented and delicious. Conclusion, the chef is probably long gone by now i imagine (to work in a real restaurant, where he belongs), but even if he is still there, there is zero atmosphere and zero service.

Amazing service! Came in for a needed drink after climbing Steep Hill and Aaron gave some really friendly service - so much so that 1 drink turned into 3. We will be coming back for the quiz!

The Wig and Mitre is hands down the greatest pub in Lincoln, and it’s not hard to see why. Perched at the top of Steep Hill, it’s the perfect place to catch your breath after the climb, offering a welcoming retreat with a fantastic atmosphere. What really makes this place stand out, though, is the incredible manager, Martin. Always ready with a smile and eager to help, Martin ensures that every visit feels personal and memorable. His dedication to making everyone feel at home is what truly makes this pub a standout. Steeped in local history, the Wig and Mitre has a unique charm that you can feel the moment you step inside. The rich heritage of the pub adds to its warmth and character, making it a great spot to soak in some local culture while enjoying a pint. And let’s not forget about the food, simply outstanding! Whether you’re after a comforting meal or a light bite, the menu never disappoints, offering something for everyone. But at the end of the day, it’s the people that make the place. From Martin to the friendly regulars, the welcoming vibe and community spirit are what keep me coming back. If you’re ever in Lincoln, the Wig and Mitre is a must-visit, where history, great food, and exceptional people come together.

Absolutely incredible place to stay. Spent 2 nights in the best room I've ever seen! Very friendly and helpful reception.

Such a stunning location and building but the food is a HUGE disappointment. Tasteless, unimaginative and dull. Wouldn't mind paying these prices if the food was good but it's very poor with no flavour. A sad waste of an opportunity. Please someone rescue this potential asset to our beloved cathedral.

La patata chaqueta estaba tibia. El panini salió a los pocos minutos de ordenar y estaba empapado y no en el más mínimo pedazo tostado. También las bebidas calientes, ¿por qué están en una taza de papel para sentarse en el interior? Una verdadera decepción al castillo que fue una gran experiencia.
