The Rest - Carta

Coffee and cake time! Wonderful selection of cake, nice coffee and dog friendly (not so much the case across Lincoln! .

Excellent! The coffee, service all very well done! They cleaned the table down, brought me a water when asked super responsive!

Great food and service, especially the sausage sandwich, and loved the cup-in-a-soup option! Generous portions, and nice spot in historic Lincoln! Ver carta

Went to order at the counter to be told its table service only. Waited 20 minutes before we asked about ordering. Waitress said she didn’t know we were waiting. Have ordered. Still waiting.

A great place half way up Steep Hill in Lincoln to stop for a light lunch or even just a lovely coffee and cake to keep you going! Comfortable and airy surroundings and a friendly welcome to you and your four-legged friends too! My favourite is their homemade soup and of course their coffee ….do give them a try if you’re in Lincoln.

Great atmosphere and definitely need a rest after climbing up Steep Hill in Lincoln! Definitely recommend broccoli and Stilton soup. Children really enjoyed the cake and the slices were generous compared to other tearooms and coffee shops we have visited. Coffee was strong and hot again better than compared to other places we have visited. Would visit again. Ver carta

Just came in for simple lunch soup and sandwich but it was very poor on several points. Service very slow took 30min to arrive, both our soups were lukewarm but we didn't send them back as we didn't want to waste any more time. My partners soup was supposed to come with warm half baguette but it was cold! On positive note food tasted really good but too many lazy mistakes, we won't return

A great spot for informal lunch or coffee and cake, and super dog friendly too. We opted for a delicious freshly grilled bratwurst with sauerkraut, and a simple smoked salmon and cucumber on toast both presented well and with a good, homely soup of the day. Service was very friendly and there was a lovely atmosphere we wished we could have lingered longer, as the cake display looked very tempting.

A real gem of a place on Steep Hill. Perfectly situated between the Bailgate and the town centre. The owners, Steph and Paul, are friendly and welcoming. A special mention to Seb who makes excellent coffee; I love the cappuccino and flat white here. Seb is also polite and interested in the customers and there is always a great atmosphere at The Rest. Food is great; lunch options include Avocado and Feta. A selection of delicious cakes are available all day. Dianne Chamberlin Ver carta
