What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Bronze Pig is lauded for its delicious and beautifully presented food, particularly its tasting menus and locally sourced dishes with a Mediterranean flair. The service is consistently described as excellent and attentive, with the owner being a welcoming presence. However, some diners have experienced issues with steak availability, and one review mentioned the food quality not meeting price expectations.
"Excellent dinner, the tasting menu was delicious and every course perfectly executed. My wife had the flight of wine and enjoyed each one with the paired food. The team were fantastic, service was spot on and the rooms are lovely places to sit. For the price it's a brilliant dining experience."

"The location of the Bronze Pig Restaurant with accommodation above is superb for visiting Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle as well as the beautiful cobbled streets surrounding both historic sites. The rooms were comfortable, clean and thoughtfully appointed. Two of the rooms are at the front of the house with a certain amount of traffic which certainly did not bother me but worth requesting the back room if you are disturbed by traffic sounds at night. Don’t be put off by the entrance to the rooms which is through a side passageway and up a steep staircase which could do with some attention. Once you reach the room, you will see how nice it is and best to ignore the state of the entrance and staircase. Breakfast was not included in the overall cost of accommodation. This could be provided on request at the Bronze Pig Or there were many eateries close by that did delicious breakfasts At a price! We had a good stay at the Bronze Pig And the host was welcoming and accommodating and most willingly responding to any requests. We had a thoroughly enjoyable few days staying at the Bronze pig and exploring Lincoln."

"Oh no!
There's so many restaurants in Lincoln that are better in every regard, price point, quality, style, view.
My particular issue here is the food quality as compared to the price. This could be better in every instance...."

Where To Eat In Lincoln: The Best Restaurants
Sitting pretty right in the heart of Lincoln, in a narrow strip of terraced housing on Burton Road, and something of a focal point for the local foodie community, The Bronze Pig looks a little incongruous on the approach – kinda domestic, kinda residential. Don’t be put off or think you’re in the wrong place; The Bronze Pig is Lincoln’s best restaurant, in our view, making its mark with its dedication to locally sourced and sustainable ingredients, but delivered in interesting, inventive ways. The meats and vegetables come from local farms, and seafood is sourced from British shores, on day boats whenever feasible, ensuring freshness and quality in every dish.
