About The Bull
The Bull is a pub and restaurant on London Road in Lincoln that centres its food offering on a Sunday carvery of joints, multiple vegetable choices, sauces and gravy, with roast potatoes on the carving counter. The kitchen runs a specials menu alongside its main list, which includes whitebait as a starter and lamb shank, scampi and steak pie among the mains. Dogs are welcome, so the room pulls in walkers as well as diners settling in for a meal. The format works for both quick lunches and longer sittings, with the carvery drawing a regular crowd on Sundays.

“First time coming today! We came for the carvery and it didn’t disappoint!! We have been trying to find a decent Sunday dinner in/around Lincoln for a while now. I will 100% be returning. Amazing food and the staff was friendly and inviting. Even my son who is quite fussy when it comes to food said he really enjoyed it … especially the roasties 🙂”
