Sat in the bar area not restaurant as per my booking. Sat at high tables. Food took over 1 hour. Despite good reviews, the food wasn’t up to standard. Fish Pie - All mashed potato. Fish & Chips - Thick & tasteless covering of batter. Was offered 30% discount!! Paid for drinks & left.

The place has a nice atmosphere and was very busy which is a good sign however, a lot of people plus quite loud background music made holding conversations difficult at times. It's not a very big dining room so maybe mute the music when it's full ??. The food was tasty however, the Stilton sauce was very wishy washy both in consistency and flavour but this was not apparent until it had been poured over the steak so be warned...taste/check it before you pour it !! The portion sizes were good except for the cheeseboard which was overpriced and seriously lacking in quantity with thin slivers rather than 'chunks' of cheese so could definitely do better there. The staff are attentive without being overbearing and overall we enjoyed our evening.

Food was great but unfortunately the restaurant was freezing which didn’t make eating very comfortable. Sold out of Malbec wine but a delivery of wine was being made while we were there. The delivery of wine was probably the reason it was so cold because the outside doors were constantly open or left open while this took place.

Didn’t correspond with rave reviews! Service was very slow, some starters not delivered until chased up! Garlic bread was delicious but unfortunately the Fish pie was just reheated mash and not much else, it was so dry I had to use gravy from husbands meal!

Cannot fault food at all, however having been squeezed in on a table blocking the walk way, one of our guests was continuously being asked to move while staff carried chairs over his head and bumped his chair every few minutes while trying to serve other tables

Good service as always however our meal was spoilt by a very over cooked steak pie. I needed a hammer to break into the pastry! Was given 20% off the price of the pie to compensate

Booked a table for a Sunday for 5 pm after being told that they serve food including roasts until 9 pm . When we arrived we was told that they had run out of roast dinners so had to order fish and chips from the menu. The food and service was good and the pub is very nice and is in a good location .

Very disappointed this time. Went for a family celebration and found the service and the food not up to their usual standard. Among other things the roast beef dinner was swimming in gravy and only had 2 small thin slices of meat. Considering the price I would have expected more. I complained to the waitress but she really didn’t seem bothered.

Good food reasonably priced, adequate portion, pleasant staff and surroundings. Although the Lincoln steampunk festival was happening and the place was heaving, food and drinks were served in a timely manner.
