A visit to historic Lincoln on a crisp cold but sunny day might for some be a roll of the dice or clutching at straws in an attempt to wish away the winter and focus on the harbingers of spring.
And, there is no ground hog called Phil to soothsay and hasten that process. However, let's not get ahead of ourselves, The clear skies, sunshine at an angle unseen in main season and semi dry cobblestones are a magic to behold in themselves. And... Seeing the Dickensian style buildings in the twilight and the sun, blanket the sides of a huge multi faceted piece of medieval artwork in the form of a cathedral

We only stopped in for a snack lunch and a couple of drinks but they were very helpful and pleasant even though we weren't spending a lot of money. Seemed to have quite a few locals in so must be ok. Their chicken strips were particularly nice and appeared to actually be home made.

Looked a nice old fashioned pub so we decided to try the food. They had a lunch time special on the menu and we ordered at the bar. Expected the discount to apply when the till totalled but it didn't. We queried it and were told the discount only applied between 2-4pm. When we checked the menu again we saw a rectangular box had been drawn around the time in the menu to obliterate the 1 in the number 12. I photographed it. Hmm. Not nice. All the menus were marked the same. We talked about it, feeling stitched up, but having arranged to meet in the Bailgate and on time constraints we decided to stick

Waitresses were friendly! Food was fast but also delicious. The waitresses have a good sense of cleaning after people leave a table complying to the Covid 19 rules! Amazing pub would

Called in the other day with some friends for a beer and some food, I had the burger, salad and chips, 1st thing I noticed was the salad was looking a little brown so I avoided that, the burger was 2 thin patties on a rather hard bun, no sign or mention of any cheese, the chips were bog standard oven ready chips.
I avoided the salad as it looked like it had been left out for too long, I ate the chips which in fairness were nice, then as I went to eat the burger I noticed how hard the bun was but it didn't look grilled or anything so I had a look underneath and there it was, mould, little bits

Update 2021 September food gone down hill and dirty toilets and dryer not working, not impressed standards gone.
Carrots raw peas hard sausages frozen cheap and the mixed grill was over done and horrible.
Thank you for looking after me and providing a great service. A lovely place to visit 2019

Decent drinks selection, fast bar service. However, waitress who we asked questions was unfriendly and the bold advertising of 'heinz' soup (presumably tinned) on the menu put us off food... Nice beer garden and would revisit just for drinks
