About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
Stacey Lawson and Paul Fields are not only delighted but thoroughly excited to announce the opening of their restaurant. Stacey and Paul sensed something was missing from the Lincoln dining experience. Paul had always had a passion to open up an independent restaurant and as a local girl Stacey recognised that although Lincoln is a historical City and a very dynamic and growing City, there was a clear need for a relaxed restaurant experience that combined history with modernity.

    As always, excellent food and service at Lawsons, the team are attentive, but not annoyingly so. The Food is freshly cooked, and as one of our party is gluten free, there were lots of options for her which is a bonus. 3 courses thoroughly enjoyed. Unfortunately for us, there was a party of 8 next to us, which made it difficult to hear easily across the table. Not the fault of Lawsons though, just made it a bit tricky to talk easily.

    Lawson’s lunch menu is excellent value for money, & it’s great that you can also have it early evening. High quality freshly cooked food cooked with flair. One of our group is a coeliac, the manager came over and talked her through which dishes were suitable. It would be useful if this information was also on the menu.

    Lovely time celebrating mother’s days. Great service, lovely food. Would be great if there were more alcohol free options (alcohol free wine, alcohol free gin, alcohol free Guinness etc) available but good overall, and there were a lot of soft drink options.
