The Duke William

Had table booked for 8pm, bar very busy, we were shown straight to our table thinking we would order drinks from table...we didn't get drinks until 8.30!! Which we didn't think was very good..food was average..they should prioritize diners with drinks ..then got asked to move later in the evening so they could set table for breakfast 😏

The ambiance, food was staff were all lovely 😀 I will definitely be coming back again to experience all of the above 👍 Thank you again, Mark 😘

Friendly and helpful staff and a nice atmosphere. Food was good but what was served wasn’t exactly as described but still very enjoyable. All round good experience.

Brilliant buzzy, but grown up atmosphere. Fantastic food with attentive but not overbearing staff. The place is old but has been renovated and is classy but still retains its character, Love this place for just a drink or a full celebratory meal.

There was a good atmosphere. The surroundings were clean and lighting was suitable. Staff were helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Meal was very good and would return again.

Had a lovely meal on 12th March for my partners birthday. The food was 1st class , the staff welcoming, the service excellent and couldn't fault anything. Will definitely return if in Lincoln again.

Very friendly and accommodating of our needs and food allergies And different orders of some having starters and some not Delicious food Only downside: Prosecco not chilled

Atmosphere and overall presentation of the pub is good. Food was very nice, but the service let it down. I wouldn't say it was the busiest Friday I've seen (about half the tables were full). We asked for side plates with our starters, they didn't turn up before they came to clear the table (good job we weren't waiting), asked for napkins with the main, 5 mins later still no napkins and had to ask again. Dessert menu took nearly 10 mins to arrive after asking and when the bill was presented, no body came back to take payment so we ended up taking ourselves to the bar on the way out. When we asked about items on the menu the waitress didn't seem knowledgeable on the menu - We asked if the chicken liver moose was a moose or a pate and she wasn't sure. Nor did she know what the pistachio crumb was like. It wouldn't put us off going back because the food more than made up for the service. But there's definitely room for improvement. And just as a personal side note, please get rid of the awful Black Rat cider, if you're only going to have 1 Apple cider option make it a good one!!

Luckily it didn't matter to us today but the service was veeerrryyy slow. Luckily we had put 3 hours in the car park....and we needed it. Unfortunately [because we recommended Duke William] the wife of our guest had to send her meal back. A bit embarrassing.

The Duke William is a fabulous, cosy, pub/restaurant in a great location not far from the Castle and Cathedral on Bailgate. The staff are friendly and helpful. We had drinks there on Saturday night and Sunday lunch the next day. Would definitely return!

We had a lovely meal at the Duke William. The place was buzzing which shows the popularity of the place even though temperatures outside were bitterly cold. Recent renovations have made great improvements, and peering outside to the courtyard we intend to go back for a lunchtime visit in the summer. Hospitality very good. Menu. Excellent choise, we chose off the board. Food. Tasty,appetising and plentiful. Our only criticism is: My partner had to ask for a bowl for empty mussel shells, and there was no decent Decaff coffee available that night. All in all a lovely experience, but get that coffee issue sorted !

Superb friendly service staff very chatty and helpful and food was lovely - we were able able to sit and chat and weren’t presured into leaving - even though it was late! Brilliant place - thoroughly recommend!

We went to the Duke for Sunday lunch, staff were friendly and attentive, good selection of real ales and the Sunday lunch was great, just had room to share a desert highly recommended.

Excellent food and service. Love this restaurant. Curry soup is so very tasty, portions are of a very generous size. Always leave the restaurant more than satisfied.

The atmosphere is lovely. Candlelit dinner. The food was delicious. The menu is relatively small however what they do is so good. I can highly recommend the chicken and chorizo tagliatelle!

Our fave dining out location in uphill Lincoln. Great food, great atmosphere, cool staff. This is our 4th such evening in recent months, we’ll be back again😁

Really nice pub/restaurant. Friendly and attentive staff and great food. I would thoroughly recommend it. Good choice of specials too. The haddock risotto was particularly good.

From the moment we arrived staff very helpful and cheerful and service was excellent lovely table both me and my wife to be enjoyed our food and that's hotel

Good food and swift service. Slightly cold in the dining are but otherwise. Great experience. Would recommend and go again. Nice atmosphere in a lovely city.

Excellent food and service it was a great Saturday night at the Duke William in Lincoln. Starters and the main were plentiful and high quality just like the table service throughout the night

Disappointed that there was no Sunday Roast dinners left even though they were being served until 5pm, had a pot roast which was lovely, but was missing the crispy vegetables

The duke William was fantastic. They always do a great Sunday lunch. We do a 120 mile round trip to visit and treat our daughter who is at university there to an outstanding Sunday lunch. Atmosphere and staff are great too.

We had dinner there this evening. Couple of drinks in the bar, then into the restaurant. An excellent meal, first class - and friendly- service and a very fair bill. Thank you.

Excellent food and really friendly attentive staff. We really enjoyed our Sunday lunch. We've booked to go back in March to celebrate a 60th birthday celebration with family and friends.

Great location and easy parking at the hotel. Nice pub with a lovely welcoming feel about it, the bar staff, wait staff and reception were excellent. We ate at The Duke both mightd, the meals were nice..standard fare really but plentiful and great service. Our room was spacious, clean and really good value for money. Some nice touches..cafetière and fresh coffee added to the boutique feel. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay here again & wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to F&F.

One main dish was not up to scratch. The taste was bland and the chicken tough, was given a free dessert which we were grateful for.

A lovely pub to visit for either a drink or a meal. We ate here and the food was awesome, so tasty and exciting. The staff were friendly and efficient. Nothing was to much trouble. Would highly recommend to anyone and I can't wait to visit again.

great food in a lovely pub. lovely atmosphere which created a great afternoon for the family.

Good food, friendly and efficient service (our waitress Yasmin was particularly good). Quite a big place, with lots of different little spaces so it doesn't feel overpowering at any point.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch with food to cater for everyone in our party-not always an easy task. All the girls working today were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Looking forward to eating there again soon

Courteous staff, excellent food, historic surroundings. I would recommend this restaurant/hotel to anyone. With so many good restaurants to choose from in uphill Lincoln it is always a pleasure to go to the Duke William.

Food and Venue excellent, staff keen but need a little more training. Will definitely visit again and also their other outlets in and around Lincoln.

The Place is fine, the waiting staff fine and food pretty good overall and price reasonable so as a package worth a visit, we were wanting to be there for the night but it seems the manager wanted to close the place around 10.30pm so we were presented with the bill which seemed to suggest to us 'sling your hook' so this put a damper on the night for us, also it seems that the manager refused local carol singers to perform which was also for the time of year a bit uncharitable, possibly a good reason for that but no members of public were made aware of what that maybe, so score would have been better if we did not have to contend with

Wonderful cosy and comfortable pub environment with a sophisticated feel to it. Warm greeting and friendly attentive table service. Scrumptious choice of food and drinks to choose from.

Excellent food, service and décor. Well worth a visit. Scotch eggs with black pudding were succulent with the yolks just right. The beef pot roast was tasty and the meat very tender. Generous portions. A salted caramel tart was a perfect finish. Highly recommended.

Had a lovely meal. The food was nice and the portions were huge. The staff were brilliant, very friendly and the service was excellent. They were very busy but we were never kept waiting for anything. Great atmosphere, would definitely go again.

Good atmosphere and friendly service . Sunday roast was good overall accompanied by an excellent red wine at good value. Overall a really good experience

We went in to the pub we were shown a table. When I given the menu there did not appear to have anything that was gluten free, when the waitress came to the our order I explained that I didn't eat gluten and there wasn't anything on the menu she took my concern to the chef she came after a couple on minutes and it was all sorted. The food I had was beef stew mash and veg. It was really good. I have been before when in the area and it has all ways been good. Staff very efficient and can't do enough to make sure every thing is correct.

Fantastic food and good service. The Duke offers a great atmosphere and beer is extremely enjoyable too😂 will definitely be returning very soon. Thanks Duke William

A characterful restaurant/pub, nice food, friendly staff. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Service was efficient. Menu choices were different to average pub, which was refreshing.

delightful lunch. the roast beef was delicious! love this pub.

Lovely Sunday dinner and great pub with local beers. We all really enjoyed our lunch here. I would recommend this place to family and friends.

Lovely food and setting, great choice of meals, drinks and puddings. Great atmosphere, would definitely plan to visit the pub again on returning to Lincoln

Generous and varied menu served by welcoming and attentive staff. Ideal refuelling stop in the centre of uphill Lincoln. Check it out at the Christmas Market.

Our 2nd visit to the Duke, excellent food and service, highly recommend. This place stands out amongst the many places to eat in the Bailgate

This is an excellent establishment. Good food, great setting and superb,friendly staff. Wonderful. They also have a fantastic range of drinks. If you're thinking of going....do it you'll love it !

Great restaurant great staff and the best steak I have had for a long time really impressed and will definitely return to such a fabulous restaurant

Excellent food and service and beautiful surroundings - can’t believe this is the first time we have eaten here but will def. be back for sure!

This is the second visit for sunday lunch. The first time we had a really lovely meal but the second was not so good. Whether it was because we ate later, but the meat wasn't so nice, infact it was tough and two of us left it. At £15.95 per person, this was disappointing. On the positive side, my son had sticky toffee pudding for dessert which he said was delicious. Will try a further visit for sunday lunch again. The staff are very attentive and friendly.

Enjoyable food from a varied menu to suit all tastes in good friendly surroundings with a good atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and helpful thank you
