Margaret's Tea Rooms in Lincoln

Fabulous little tea rooms with loads and loads of different teas to choose from. We didn't eat but saw some of the cakes and the afternoon tea they were serving and they looked awesome. Definitely worth a visit when in Lincoln next.

Hi Des, just want to thank you and your staff for making our Diamond Wedding Afternoon Tea so special. We enjoyed every moment of it and all your extra personal touches were so lovely and much appreciated. The food was delicious and the teas were lovely. You are one of a kind and fit perfectly into your chosen business, don't ever change. Sue has always spoken highly of you and now we know why. You must make so many people very happy. Hope to see you again sometime, will definitely recommend you and your tearooms to our friends. Best wishes Dave and Glenys.

This is the place you need to visit if you are looking for delicious scones or cakes. Good service and a lovely atmosphere. I haven't had a cream tea however on Mothering Sunday there were several families enjoying their experience. Thank you to all concerned.

The place location is very great and the decoration is captivating.👍👍👍 The food was very very tasty and great. I was going to order afternoon tea at 15.30 but I was told that this should be booked in advance. So I got (Cheddar sandwiches + salads + crisps, Tuna sandwiches, Fruit scones + jam + cream+ strawberry, Carrot cake and normal tea) nearly afternoon tea but without the afternoon tea stand 😅.The thing that I would like to be concerned is that at my specific experience I found some difficulty in communication (Visitor - English not my mother tongue) with some staff which if concerned will be very appreciated, though I'm not ruling out that I also have to learn/adjust to different speed and pitches.My order was larger than the table space which made me and my partner uncomfortable though there were some free large tables.

Beautiful afternoon tea here! The staff are so friendly and helpful, and the food is delicious! Thank you for a lovely mother's day afternoin tea!

Absolutely stunning experience at Margaret’s Tea Rooms yesterday. We were all made to feel really welcome and the red velvet cake was delicious. The tea selection is exceptional. Lovely place to meet with friends! We’ll be back x

A hidden gem at the bottom of Steep Hill. Wonderfully fresh food, incredibly clean and a very warm welcome awaits. A must visit for Breakfast, Lunch, or Afternoon Tea

The term hidden gem is so often misused. However in this case it is spot on. Tucked away from the main streets of Lincoln, this proper tea room is indeed a gem worth seeking out. Des, the owner, is warm and welcoming and skilfully balances front of house charm with his, equally skilful, work in the kitchen. Our waitress (whose name I didn't get, please forgive me) was polite, attentive, without being obtrusive, and efficient.We'd opted for the high tea, which turned out to be an excellent choice. Fruity, iced tea to start (great flavour), followed quickly by hot drinks. I stepped out of my comfort zone and went vanilla chai. So glad I did. The food arrived piled on on the traditional 3 tier stand, with scones and cream on yet another plate. The sandwiches were fresh soft and delicious with a good range of fillings. Topped off by a good range of cakes and assorted sweet items, all dressed with really good strawberries, an especially pleasant surprise given how early in the season it was.On the topic of price, I would say it sits comfortably in the normal range for such offerings. However in terms of quality and value for money, it's far ahead of the pack and amongst the best I've had.We found Margaret's by chance. I hope the universe is as kind to you and that you too manage to stumble across this properly named hidden gem.

Delightful tea room opposite small park area. Friendly service. However I have just removed 1 star as I've seen the amount charged for 2 latte (hot but not the best) and 1 piece of cake which was expensive. Sadly we will not be returning for that reason.

Me, my partner and two friends visited this little gem yesterday and absolutely loved it! Really friendly staff and amazing choice of flavoured and herbal tea. The sandwiches were soft and delicious! Also a nice selection of scones and cakes, lovely interior and we will be returning on our next visit to Lincoln!
