The Cheese Society Cafe, 1 St Martins Lane (Just off the top of the High Street, near the bottom of the Strait), ☎ 01522 511003, . 10.00-4.30pm Monday to Saturday. A highly individual established cafe & cheese shop specialising in cheesy dishes, such as double baked souffles and baked Camembert. Also has non-cheese options. Uses many local producers. The food is freshly cooked and presented to a high standard. Light and airy, bistro style, with pretty slick service. Can get busy, as it seats 24, but well worth waiting for a table. Food is served until 4pm. Not suitable for under 10s. Licensed. Reasonably priced. �
Big Wok, Beaumont Fee. A Chinese restaurant that offers only a buffet. The standard buffet is open from early afternoon until 5pm. The Grand Buffet starts at 5pm and offers a Tepenyaki, sushi (without raw fish) and Pekin Duck and a number of other alternatives. The food is generally good, although some of the items that are deep fried are a little greasy rather than crispy. The reputation of the restaurant has suffered somewhat due to poor hygiene however the management insist that new measures have now been taken to ensure top quality food. But it's advisable to treat that with a pinch of salt! Prices are £4.99 for the standard buffet and this rises to £9.99 for the Grand Buffet. Drinks are extra but fairly reasonable (a large Coca Cola costs about £2.50, coming in a pint sized glass). No service fee is charged, but a tips jar is available at the counter. Be advised that you are charged on the basis of how many seats are filled as well as what buffet is ordered. So although you may not eat anything, you will still be charged the full cost of a meal.
Other Chinese restaurants are Yo Yo's located opposite Debenhams and The Laughing Budda located in the town centre. For an Italian experience, try Pomodoro located just off the high street (near Subway) or Romans located close to the Lincoln Castle.
Chimichanga's, Brayford Waterfront. This is a new restaurant, which has received great reviews of its food. Service is considered to be mediocre, but due to its staff being new to the business, it can be expected that service will improve. Chimichanga's specialises in Mexican style food and is relatively expensive, but food is considered to be of very high quality.
Nando's, Brayford Waterfront. A chain restaurant specialising in Portuguese peri-peri chicken dishes, all of which are offered in a variety of spice strengths (lemon & herb, mango & lime, medium, hot, extra hot). Its service is very good and very prompt. Beware of the Extra hot serving! Prices are fairly cheap considering the size of portions you receive. There is no service charge and babies and children are very welcome.
The Nosey Parker, Tritton Road (at the junction with Dixon Street). This is a pub that serves a pub lunch. Portions are fairly generous and you can expect to pay about £5-£10 for a meal although there are a number of special offers where you can receive 2 meals for £10. Their steak is fantastic and quite generous. Be prepared for a very long wait for food, though.
Pizza Express, High Street (at the corner with Grantham Street, in the upper half of the pedestrianised High Street). Don't let the name fool you! It doesn't serve pizza fast. It serves, what some would say, the best pizza in all of Lincoln, but expect to pay somewhat higher prices!
Planet Masala, Wigford Way, (5 minutes from the High Street). Indian restaurant. The general standard of food is fairly good, but service is very slow. Expect to wait up to a half hour for a meal! This will be the same even if you are the only customers in the restaurant. Various reasons have been offered to answer this, one of which included that "meals were cooked to order" though this is unlikely! Drinks come in a very small glass but are refillable, though don't be surprised if you had to refill your drinks half a dozen times during the course of a meal. Prices are fairly low, but a full meal could be expensive. Dishes generally cost about £5-£8 each.

Pizza Hut
City Snax/Double M - Near Market Area.
