Lion and Snake in Lincoln

Lovely welcome, lovely staff, lovely food, food came quickly and was delicious, would definitely recommend 👍🏻😍

Raucous and loud music on a Sunday afternoon, a pub with sports fans in mind. Tables were wiped down but ideally needed a good scrub as our table had a sticky residue

Clean & friendly pub. Polite staff, prompt service. Reasonably priced too.

Lovely pub with big outdoor area, menu was awesome but didn't have time to eat.

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 has the same effect as discovering a treasure, something truly wonderful that you would want to capture, savour and share with those you love. Alas how can a rectangular screen even on a £900 smartphone convey even minutely, the twilight, the panoramic beauty, the smile of those around you. The smell of wood smoke of an open fire adjacent, or the tactile feel of cobbles at your feet?It is only possible to enjoy this by being there and indulging all of your senses.After you have wrung every second of indulgence from your surroundings! What now? There are two options, get in the car or bus and terminate the experience like an anti climatic lead weight... Or ... Wind down the experience like a feather gently descending going hither and thither and eventually and gently coming to rest.This is where our visit to the Lion, and snake took us. As soon as we walked through the door, the feel of warmth on our skin and the comfortable surroundings matched with the attentive and friendly disposition of the staff reminded us that our barrel was not empty and that more was in store. A nice tasty meal delivered hot along with a delicious drink has us recounting what we had just experienced and how we were going at least, attempt to convey it to our loved ones.In an unhurried respite from the cold this was just the perfect ending to a perfect day. A special thank you to the bar manager who went that extra step of the way to make that happen. We shall return.

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.

Excellent food and ale! Atmosphere was busy music was good. Will return especially as the have a megga mixed grill as opposed to the standard one I had. Staff were efficient and perfect hosts.

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 it out .The food and service was very good but the menus need reprinting.

Nice little pub at the top of step hill in Lincoln. Staff are very engaging. Traditional pub food is ok😊👍

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
