The bistro

Halfway down the hill, where Lincoln slows down

Lawson's Bar and Bistro brings classic bistro dining to The Strait, the medieval lane between the Cathedral Quarter and the high street.

The menu is built on familiar dishes, prepared with fresh, seasonal touches and a consistent focus on quality ingredients. Slow-cooked classics sit alongside lighter lunchtime plates, and the bar keeps a considered list of cocktails and wines.

The room is relaxed and welcoming, and the kitchen is run by a family that cares about getting the details right. Whether you are joining us for a set lunch, a Saturday evening or a long Sunday afternoon, the aim is the same: good food, served well.

Lawson's is consistently placed among the best restaurants in Lincoln by guests on TripAdvisor and holds a Travellers' Choice award for 2026. The set lunch menu is one of the best-value ways to eat well in the city centre, and the bar is open for cocktails and wine before or after dinner.

As a self-confessed foodie I genuinely believe this is the best quality food you can get in Lincoln and the value of the lunchtime offer is excellent.

chola85, August 2026Read on TripAdvisor

Over the past four/five years of visiting Lincoln, we would not think about eating anywhere else.

Great Food, Reasonable Prices, Lovely Staff, August 2026Read on TripAdvisor

Had dinner here the first night we stayed in Lincoln, it was so good we went back for lunch two days later! The food is great, staff friendly and helpful, and the fixed price menu is incredible value.
