The Duke William

Great food, really friendly service and a great atmosphere. Excellent range of beers and gins which made both of us happy! Relaxed vibe, perfect after a busy day.

We went here last night for my boyfriends birthday. We both had scallops for starter and rump steak for main. Great service, food and wine. Lovely setting. Very much enjoyed it

Family get together following a bereavement, food excellent as was the service, thank you

We had a great evening celebrating A level results. Food and drink all excellent...we have been here many times and will keep coming back. Would strongly recommend but make sure to book as it is always busy

Food was good when it eventually arrived. There was six of us and we had to wait over an hour before it was served as there was another group booked in at the same time as us. The staff were very busy.

Amazing service and food. Our favourite place to eat. Very busy tonight but the staff were fantastic and the food that came out was perfect. Celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary.

Fabulous place to eat. Lovely setting. Delicious Sunday Roast & breakfast. Staff are excellent & welcoming. Definitely recommend The Duke William for the best place to eat in Lincoln

Excellent food. Good service. Value for money. Good position in Lincoln. Went for Sunday Lunch. First rate beef and lamb. Wine by glass good quality reasonably priced. All in all very good experience.

Nice food and good service in a busy and vibrant setting. Friendly and helpful staff. I would recommend the Duke William Hotel as a dinner venue

Good food, friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere. We have been to 'The Duke' many times for a midweek evening meal, have always found the ambience just right, bang on. Thank you

Amazing service from all the staff, great new menu, lovely food which was reasonably priced! We will definitely be back. ps The tiger prawns were literally the best we've had for a long time

Excellent meal, nice surroundings and good service. It was the first time we have been there but will certainly go again, the deep fried Brie was a hit with all of us.

We had a lovely evening with good food and wine, a busy and bustling restaurant with good and efficient service.

Lovely meal enjoyable food.The staff helpful and friendly.Would recommend to to friends. Will return for weekday lunch and also try Sunday lunch with Family and friends.

Relaxing evening for meal and drinks. We were sat in noisy part of restaurant due to large table next to us. Staff noticed and moved us to quieter part of restaurant. Fantastic service and would go back on next visit.

Had a perfect Sunday lunch the roast beef was delicious and the veg were perfect amazing Yorkshire pud too. The service is really good too, everyone very helpful and professional

The food was Fabulous again, great friendly staff, and always a lovely place to visit and enjoy inside and out. Defiantly a place to enjoy 🥂😊

A lovely Sunday lunch. Excellent service in a lovely setting in uphill Lincoln. Our second visit but certainly not our last. Food and staff to be commended.

Lovely location, great atmosphere, great staff and amazing food. Can’t fault the place. I’ve been twice now and am looking forward to visiting in the future.

Great service, great food and a buzzing atmosphere. May be a bit noisy for some but we enjoyed it immensely, our fave pub in Lincoln 😁

Excellent food. Excellent beer. Excellent atmosphere. You can't go wrong. This is now my go to place in the Bailgate area of Lincoln. Highly recommended

Lovely meal with excellent service. The lunchtime meal was to celebrate a 60th birthday and we’d brought a cake. The Duke William couldn’t have been more accommodating and the staff even joined in singing Happy Birthday. And they looked after the cake while we explored Lincoln. Happy to recommend to all.

Love this place, Great food, Drink and service. We have eaten many times and we are always impressed. I would have no hesitation in recommending this Pub

Booked after finding the restaurant on trip advisor, and what a find it was. A packed bar and restaurant with a great buzz/atmosphere. The staff could not do enough for you, and nothing was too much trouble. The food, one word, excellent! didn’t think sausage and mash could taste so good...would highly recommend and would definitely eat there again. Booking advisable.

Great quality food in a nicely decked out pub. Relaxed atmosphere with a good selection of beer and food. Topped off with friendly welcoming service.

Lovely pub, very busy which is always a good sign The staff were extremely helpful and polite. Great service. 10 stars for the food . Will be back.

Attractive pub and nicely lit dining room. However we waited a long time for our meal - not sure how long but probably about 45 mins. One of the meals arrived incomplete so had to be sent back to kitchen. That meant we were eating our meals at different times. Staff very apologetic and knocked various things off the bill. This was very welcome and kind but at the end of the day we’d have preferred a pleasant meal.

Good service, nice food and setting. A little expensive but okay for a treat now and then. Soon to be my local so I'll be back.

They had lovely staff who were very attentive. Ordered a starter and main course, both were very good portion sizes. Food was amazing. Would definitely return.

Overall a very lovely evening. Excellent food and drink along with good service. Will definitely book again. Just one thing though some seats need padding.

We had a wonderful dining experience. The restaurant is cosy yet classy. My dog was also warmly welcomed with hugs from staff and a fresh bowl of water. At the bar the drinks selection was great, especially the gins. The food arrived swiftly and was a beautiful quality. All in all I superb experience and I will certainly me returning.

Great food and atmosphere. Bit slow in service but staff were really appreciative that we did not complain as it was a very busy night and they were quite rushed. We were quite happy sitting and chatting so we had a great night (again).

Once again good food and friendly staff made Sunday lunch a very enjoyable experience. The restaurant was very atmospheric and the children's meals were served in generous portions.

Walked past this place several times before going in wish we had gone in before. Lovely atmosphere friendly staff with amazing food. Will definitely pop in again

The Duke William offers a great dining experience. Food was excellent, the Sunday roast being a particular highlight and the ale selection is superb. Staff are really friendly and not too intrusive when eating

Great food, great service, lovely setting. Beer garden is also lovely. Come here a lot. Will continue to eat and drink here with friends and family.

Lovely food and good service. The only downside is the Sunday dinner is on the pricey side. However if you are prepared to pay the money you shouldn't be disappointed.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch here. Good size portions and great service from all the staff. Would definitely book here again and would recommend eating here to friends and family.

Atmosphere and staff/service very good. Specials Board selection sadly depleted due to "a very busy day"...which is understandable and at least shows the ingredients are fresh and not just hauled out of the freezer etc. But, more surprisingly, the 'Sausage and Mash" main course had also run out. Run out of Sausages in Lincolnshire? Surely that's treasonable? Of more import, the fish in my Fish & chips was not fully cooked and the batter not crisp, suggesting cool fat in deep fryer or too short cooking time. Section of raw fish didn't become apparent until almost finished. The fish was also the last portion. Mentioned to waitress and low-0level apology given. Not big points but took the icing off the experience at a place we have, until now, rated highly. Whilst moaning....could the menu be a little more adventurous, it just felt a tad staid. Maybe we were just having a bad night, but there is so much competition around The Bail' that we have come to expect better.

What a fantastic evening, we were looked after from start to finish. The food was very good. My steak was cooked exactly to my liking. Good beers available and a lovely atmosphere. We shall be returning.

absolutely fantastic. We had a full three courses each and it was great food and service! Quick responses and not left hanging around. Friendly and welcoming! Highly recommend the mussels

Have eaten in the restaurant before and found it good but not this time. Waitress left us standing in restaurant while she went to find out which table we were at, then came back with another group and dealt with them, the restaurant was otherwise empty so we sat at a nice table for two but the waitress said we couldn’t sit there and moved us to another empty table for two! Starter of mushrooms on toast, the toast was so hard my husband gave up with it. We both had steak but it was tough and lots of very chewy bits! Yuk! So think we were just unlucky on this occasion.

We love the duke William and regularly eat here! Lovely food and staff

Second time here and food was great! Mixed up our starters but made up for it by giving free desserts - so no worries as far as we were concerned!

Lovely setting in the Cathedral area of Lincoln. Greeted by friendly staff who gave us plenty of time to peruse the menu before taking our order. Food and drink was great and we were looked after by friendly staff all evening. Would definitely visit again for a bite to eat and a few drinks.

Service average ( forgot our drinks, had to remind them ) Food excellent ( all 4 of our meals were good ) Will go again, we have been several times before, but they must work harder on the attention to detail.

Staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent with no complaints (daily special of duck leg confit was the best I've had in years). Atmosphere was warm and inviting, and all house facilities very clean. To finish all menu prices were very affordable for a special occasion dining out with family.

First class meal, excellent service, great atmosphere, a return is a definite

The Duke William is a great place for a meal & a drink. Lunchtime or evening you always get a warm welcome, a great choice of real beers and a super menu. The prices are very reasonable and the quality of the food is first class. There are rooms available but not having tried these I wouldn't want to comment on these. If you are visiting the Cathedral quarter of Lincoln, this is ideal. Booking is advisable at weekends as the Duke is very popular.

Lovely place, delicious food and awesome staff! We were able to book a table the same day for a Sunday roast, and the experience could not have been any better. The Sunday roast options were very inclusive, and the remaining items on the menu we tried were equally great. I even ordered dessert after the roast, no matter how stuffed I felt already (piece of advice, try the three chocolate brownie, you will not be disappointed!). Staff was friendly, attentive and did not rush us at all, even though us Spaniards are known for making reeeeally long after lunch chats over coffee at the table. We will definitely go back if we visit Lincoln in the future, because this place is absolutely worth going up the hill! :)
