About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
Stacey Lawson and Paul Fields are not only delighted but thoroughly excited to announce the opening of their restaurant. Stacey and Paul sensed something was missing from the Lincoln dining experience. Paul had always had a passion to open up an independent restaurant and as a local girl Stacey recognised that although Lincoln is a historical City and a very dynamic and growing City, there was a clear need for a relaxed restaurant experience that combined history with modernity.

    This is not my first visit to Lawson's bistro and once again a great experience. The staff were friendly but professionally. I had requested a quiet table with personal space for an intimate lunch and this was provided. I had previously dined in the evening but this was my first time eating lunch at the restaurant and was not disappointed. There was plenty of choice on the lunchtime menu and the quality and taste of our food was exceptional. At £18 for 2 courses extremely good value. Definitely would recommend a visit for anyone who hasn't been before. I will most certainly be making a return visit next time I am in Lincoln, it's my go to restaurant.
