Food was very basic and the portion sizes very poor for the price, I counted about 12 chips on my plate. Also I think the cleaner must have been on holiday because the toilets were awful … I had to wash my hands before I went in and sanitise them after I’d washed themCould be a lovely pub if more time was spent on the food and cleaning

Probably the worst food i’ve ever eaten. I had the cheese and bacon burger and it was cold and mostly inedible. It’s alright if you just want a drink but avoid this place if you want food. Not even worth the 1 star.

Great place for a good meal and drinks. Nice music playing and the pool tables are great. I'll be coming back while I'm out here.

Excellent food. Service and staff were exceptional would recommend without

Great surroundings. Friendly dog pub. Variety of TV screens.

We went in on a Sunday evening - it's a large open pub, giving the vibe that it's a sports pub with plenty of large screens showing sport. It was a pretty bland atmosphere, nothing to complain about the beer. It's probably at its best with big sporting events that pack it out.

Food was good . Lady that served us seemed not overly interested. Typical pub/restaurant

Absolutely terrible place wouldn't recommend at all the manager and workers on shift seem useless and like they knew nothing at all. You had one member of staff sat down for majority of the time I was in there.
I don't typically like to leave bad reviews as I understand the impact it can have on a business, but I feel so strongly about this situation that I feel it is necessary. I visited The William Foster in Lincoln and had the most awful experience. The manager in that pub is awful for trying to accommodate simple requests. The organisation within this company is atrocious, and I have still yet to hear back from them regarding my complaint. I had emailed the pub and asked for my complaint to be passed to higher management (since the person I had a bad experience with was the responsible manager at the time) and I had a reply from said person. Granted, he apologised, but the issues on the day were just not dealt with efficiently. In short, I had booked a table for our family (13 people) on a Saturday afternoon. I had messaged prior to ask for a baby high chair as we, of course, had a baby with us. When we arrived, we were told by the manager that we were going to be seated on high stools. I explained that I had requested a high chair for a baby and hence that would not be appropriate. He then said 'well that's where you're sat'. I spoke to him separately after he'd accused us of not communicating that we needed a high chair, and so I proved that I had by showing him evidence. He still didn't accommodate. We ended up sat in the sports area, with a leaking roof, not enough stools (which we did get in the end, just planted in the middle of the floor) and a mother having to stand up to feed her baby on her dad's knee. They couldn't even cook a medium-rare steak right and they were all overdone. Appalling. I will never, ever be returning, nor will I ever recommend to anyone.

Love this little pub. Has your local pub feel but with a city centre location. Food is always nice & the staff are always friendly & make you feel welcome.

Called in for a drink whilst shopping in Lincoln Friendly pub, great beer prices and quality. Amy, one of the bar staff was very welcoming and attentive to our requests and even came over to the table to check all was good. Very professional. Will definitely return,

Really poor experience, we booked a table and ended up being told it wasn't available whe we got there. We then had to settle for tables right next to the pool tables. All of which where high tables, so one of the couples who were with us had to nurse their 9 month old baby. The bar staff were lovely which was the only positive. The manager when we complained kept saying there was nothing he could do. Although the food we ordered wasn't overly expensive it was not the best, the meat on the mixed grills steak was over cooked amd the chicken breast tasted like frozen chicken. Really not impressed as the reviews were very good.
