Fancy a Nibble Close By
It's always good to know you're not staying far from tasty food and refreshing drinks! Here are a few suggestion based on the proximity.
Restaurants
Olivares Tapas Bar
Authentic Spanish food, with main meals and a large selection of tapa dishes. All food is home made with Spanish love behind them. Compliment the food with delicious beers and wines from our list.
Olivares Tapas Bar is family friendly. They have vegetarian options available.
Tucked into the corner of Castle Hill square, with views of the square, the castle and Cathedral, it's a lovely place to be.
Cafes
Bailgate Deli
Bailgate Deli, in Lincoln's historic Cathedral Quarter, is a vegan and vegetarian café and deli. Our food is almost entirely made in-house. The menu includes standard items such as a full vegan breakfast and a mezzanine plate added to by daily specials (we're passionate about cooking and love making new dishes).
Through the day we serve great coffee, proper hot chocolate and lots of other drinks. Cakes and savouries are made daily. We know how to make a good gluten free pastry for a steady flow of tarts with vegan fillings. Our deli shelves have many of the staples needed in good plant based cooking. Our chiller cabinet always has a range of great salads. Most days of the week you can find Welbeck's properly made bread.
The café is small but doubles in size during the summer as we spill out on to the pavement!
Restaurants
Browns Pie Shop
Situated on Steep Hill, Browns Pie Shop is in the heart of historic Cathedral City of Lincoln and is one of the city's favourite dining establishments.
The restaurant is owned by Allan and Christine Gill who took the helm in November 2005. With the help of their family, they have enhanced its already excellent reputation.
It's not Just a Pie Shop - at Brown's Restaurant, they're famous for pies - they're delicious, but that's not all they do. The menu includes fish, seafood, steaks, game, vegetarian and gluten free dishes are all available.
If you have special dietary requirements, they'll do their best to accommodate you, just give them a call.
