Lovely environment very dog friendly & welcoming. Access to side of cathedral, no need to pay Cathedral entrance fee. Great food & coffee

Nice cafe, good food staff were really helpful and nothing too much trouble worth a visit if your at the cathedral

Loved the food and the overall atmosphere. I ordered scones and Early grey tea, both were delicious. Loved the scones a lot, fresh and yummy!
Definietely would go again.
Also loved their Afternoon tea setting and offering but did not try it.

Smashing cafe, lovely service and great food but not cheap. See my delicious full breakfast, but at £14 not a daily treat.

I love how accessible this cafe is, easy for friends and family to get around with accessibility aids, dog friendly too. You are asked to pay at the table before food/drink. Beautiful building, nice & light. Only gripe for me is that oat milk is around 70p surcharge - one of the most expensive in Lincoln. Oat is the most environmentally friendly milk alternative so this is disappointing.

The new cafe is lovely, spacious and airy. We sat in the courtyard enjoying the sun and the beautiful plants. It and the gift shop are a massive improvement on what was on offer previously

Just had our first visit to the cafe today. We had been looking round the cathedral and came to the cafe through the cloisters. We could see the amazing range of cakes at the counter and were just going to have a coffee and a cake but it was lunchtime and we were hungry so decided to go for the Sunday roast and we were definitely not disappointed. It’s table service and you can book in advance if you want to as tables were reserved. The meal was generous, beautifully cooked and presented and all the staff were so friendly and attentive. It was just perfect and so calm and not at all rushed. I feel like I want to shout from the rooftops about how amazing it is but I kind of want it to stay how it is and enjoy it with my own friends and family !! We’re going to be regulars that’s for sure. Thank-you so much.

Good sized restaurant cafe in the ground of the cathedral. Busy, clean and well stocked cafe ideally located on the north side of the cathedral grounds. Good choice of hot and cold food and drinks. Quick and attentive staff. Busy when we went but still had seats available..

Nice place, in light tones and well kept. Friendly and fast service. Nice views from some tables. Not a long menu, but some quite interesting chef specials available. Is situated at the visitors route from the catherdral main building to the catherdral shop, so if you like to enjoy your meal in complete peace and quiet, this is probably not the right place.
