About Witch & Wardrobe

Witch & Wardrobe is a pub on the river in Lincoln city centre, at 21 Waterside N, set in an old building with plenty of indoor seating. A walled-in beer garden gives groups and dog owners somewhere to settle, and dogs are welcome. The food side includes a roast lunch of beef or roast chicken with roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding, plus a pie of the day served as an individual pie. A quiz night and a karaoke night give the pub a regular events calendar, and the quiz comes with a children's sheet. A selection of games is on hand for anyone who wants to play while they drink. The drinks range is extensive, and the team encourages people to bring friends along.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often point to the food, led by the Sunday roast, with the beef and the roast chicken both called delicious and generous, alongside fresh veg, roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. Close behind are the "Pie of the day", a chicken, leek and wholegrain mustard filling with well buttered mash, and the fish and chip supper. One reviewer praises a chicken parma and salads on quiz night. The beer and wine get steady approval, and the new owners and their friendly bar team come up repeatedly, with several noting the recent makeover. Beyond the food, reviewers mention karaoke, a quiz night, a good selection of games and a walled beer garden where dogs were seen. The pub is described as old and full of character, and one reviewer liked the children's quiz sheet that won a free ice cream. No recurring complaints appear, though one reviewer could not comment on the food. Several sit outside by the river or canal, and one says the Sunday lunch arrived with quick service.

    “On a two night trip to Lincoln we decided to pop in for dinner and a glass of wine. Food was awesome. Two meals for £15 on a Monday night. We had 2 salads and a chicken parma. Absolutely delicious. Wine was great, and as it was quiz night we stayed for a few drinks and the quiz. Great fun. Lovely friendly atmosphere and reasonable prices. Staff really welcomed us. Highly recommended if you are wanting something a bit different.”

    “We came across this lovely pub this evening and we are really glad we did. We had the fish and chip supper which was delicious, the pub is old and full of character, the team were friendly and happy to talk to us about all the interesting features within. Claire and Sam made the visit a memorable one, we will be returning when we visit Lincoln again later in the year.”
  • Adrian Lockwood
    “Great little pub on the river in Lincoln City centre. It has recently been taken on by new management and had quite a makeover. Very polite staff and quality service. The beer is good and I've had a few over the past few weeks. Wanted to wait until I'd eaten before leaving a review. Came and had the "Pie of the day" and was pleasantly surprised with an individual pie case filled to the brim with a delicious chicken, leek and wholegrain mustard filling. The veg was also perfectly cooked for my liking and the mash was well buttered. The pub comes with plenty of indoor seating and a quaint little walled in beer garden. Will certainly be back again to try out the rest of the menu. Overall great value for money and a lovely atmosphere.”
