The best restaurants serving British food in Castle Lincoln East Midlands

Simple and straight forward booking online, excellent service, excellent food at a great price and lovely atmosphere.

Probably the best steak pie meal I've had - pies and sides are phenomenal, service superb, beautiful building. Not quite five stars as at dessert stage we were disappointed, rosemary wasn't detectable in the apple and rosemary crumble, and the cheeseboard was just supermarket cheddar/brie/stilton straight from the fridge - for a county with such brilliant local cheeses that was a let-down. But you won't need a pudding, stick with the phenomenal pies and sides (be sure to try the mushy peas) and you'll be well fed and happy.

Un lugar fantástico. Comida excepcional. Tan triste que no hay suficiente personal para llenar todo su potencial. El personal llevó al extremo. Necesito más personal.

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.

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.

Visited today with 4 children (5, 8, 8 & 10). The gentleman who welcomed us in was more than happy to let us spread across 2 smaller tables. He was so accommodating of the children, providing half portions of food & speaking to them directly rather than through me. The food was lovely and promptly delivered. Their hot chocolates were just what we'd be seeking (cream & marshmallows) And all at a reasonable price, especially for the location. I'll certainly be visiting again 😊

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.

Great pub at top of steep hill.food done well. Staff very helpfull. And dog friendly But ask the staff where To go. small outside area with views of castle and cathedral.

Staff really welcoming. A good range of beers. The cask beers are superbly kept. The food looks and smells delicious. All in all, a great find!

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

We called in yesterday before visiting the Cathedral. A member of staff asked us to take a seat and they would be over shortly to take our order. We had 2 lattes which were lovely and hot, 1 fruit scone with butter and jam and 1 cheese scone and butter, both were served warm and were delicious. We will call in again when next visiting Lincoln.

The jacket potato was luke warm. The panini came out within minutes of ordering and was soggy and not in the slightest bit toasted. Also the hot drinks, why are they in a paper cup to sit indoors? A real let down to the Castle which was a great experience.
