Fine Dining · Lincoln
A minute or two from Lincoln Castle and the cathedral, at the top of the steep hill, this is a smarter sit-down dinner rather than the usual family teatime — the kitchen runs a tasting menu and trains up future chefs, so it's an occasion place more than a drop-in. High chairs and a children's menu are there, vegan dishes too, and free parking is a real gift in that part of town. Families describe the staff as "attentive and kind", which counts for a great deal when someone small is fidgeting between courses. Worth knowing before you book: prices climb quickly on the longer menus, opinions on the cooking aren't unanimous, and the pace is leisurely rather than quick — go early in the evening and bring something to occupy little hands. There are guest rooms upstairs if you're staying over.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
