We would highly recommend Leigh. He communicated brilliantly with is and was able to rectify a problem that Octopus Energy had left is with after fitting our Smart Meter. Had it not have been for him, we'd still be without heating now. Cannot thank him enough!

Rating: 5 / 5

Excellent work! Leigh was very neat and tidy, respected our property and cleared up after the work was completed. The final bill was very close to the estimate (slightly more as we added work to the list). I would not hesitate to use Bass Electrical again in the future.

Spot on as always, had work done by Stuart a few times and it’s always been great. Re-wired our garage up and did some extra works in the kitchen while he was here.

Rating: 5 / 5

I contacted Stuart regarding some work we wanted doing to our electrics. He replied the same day, even though it was a Sunday! Even though he was extremely busy he was able to reshuffle things & fit our most urgent job in the following day which we are so grateful for. He was very efficient & had excellent customer communication with me. He explained everything in layman’s terms! We have booked him to perform further jobs in our house & wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others.

What an amazing place, we went for lunch on a weekday so I’m not sure how busy it gets at peak times but I hope they do well because it was some of the best Italian food I’ve ever tasted. What a lovely family run business, well definitely be back ☺️

We visited for a family lunch this afternoon. We all absolutely loved this restaurant, felt so welcomed by the waitress and the restaurant felt really homely. The staff were fantastic. The food was absolutely out of this world. Had a real variety of dishes and whether pasta, risotto, chicken or pizza everything was fantastic and the tomato garlic bread starter was amazing. Would definitely return and recommend to friends. Wish I'd taken more pictures of the food

Ben and his team installed a EV charging point for me today. They arrived promptly, carried out the installation to a high and professional standard. I am extremely impressed, which isn’t easy! I will not hesitate to use them again and recommend them to my friends. Thank you

There was an issue with contacting Ben via his the website (resolved now) but on calling Ben he quickly came to the house to survey what I needed (already had solar panels, I was adding a battery). Within a couple of days a quotation was submitted, and accepted. A few days later a battery was delivered (rolled into the garage where it was to be fitted) and a couple of days later the battery was installed. A very neat and quick job. A few software issues became apparent but with the help of a friend (he recommended Ben to me) they were resolved and now my electricity charges have plummeted (don’t mention Standing Charges - now more than the electricity ☹️). No hesitation in recommending Ben Energy

I had an issue with my central heating not turning off no matter what I did and I was at my wits end this morning, so I found Ben's details and sent him a message. He came back to me within 40 or so minutes to come around the same day to solve the issue. He was prompt in all communication, gave an ETA for general arrival time as he knew I worked from home. He and his colleague were really kind, friendly and knowledgeable and were talking me through the process and signs to look for in case of similar issues in the future. I also loved that I could just pay on a card machine rather than mucking about with invoices and bank transfers. Everything has been fixed within an hour and I now have a normal working heating just in time for snow and winter. Frankly I'm amazed it was all same day, I'm used to waiting weeks for help. Thanks Ben and the team, you were great and will be my go to recommendation moving forward. Tim

Just had a EV charger fitted by Ben Energy Electrical Services. It was a very prompt and professional service. Great advice given and any questions answered. Clear instructions on how to set up the app for using it too. Will definitely be recommending for anyone needing electrical work.

The best coffee shop in Lincoln. Stop in regularly as I work just around the corner. The drinks are always a spot on and they have a changing seasonal menu with exciting new options to try. Fresh sandwiches and cakes available. All food and drinks really reasonably priced. Vibe inside is great with welcoming and friendly staff. They even have games and interesting books dotted around.

Rating: 4 / 5

Really nice place to sit down and have a coffee and cake/sandwich. Wide range of coffee/tea based drinks. Although small the layout does not make it feel claustrophobic. Staff very friendly and much quicker than ithe (larger) chains. Access for those confined to a wheelchair is good. I have no doubt the staff would be more than happy to help. Well worth a visit.

Called in today and asked for the most Keto friendly coffee. Great service and advice. Decided on a soya latte, and was pleasantly surprised with my choice. Usual great flavour, never had a bad coffee here, the best I've tasted in Lincoln. Thanks

Coffee Depot - 5/5 Stars We would gladly give Coffee Depot maximum stars. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with friendly staff who make you feel right at home. The music is carefully chosen and the acoustics are spot on, allowing for comfortable conversation without any unwanted noise. What more could you ask for in a café? What we truly appreciate about Coffee Depot is that it's not part of the endless chain cafés that are so common nowadays—those lacking soul and charm. Instead, this café exudes character and personality, making it a standout in the world of coffee shops. Highly recommended!

Absolutely delighted with the service we received. Tom is such a conscientious, thoughtful and friendly worker. He wired up the lights for a media unit in the living room which was fitted by Hammonds and a new bookcase beneath the stairs. We'd had other quotes but TLS was the most reasonable, and while other electricians said it was 'too tricky' to install lighting in the hall under the stairs, it was no problem whatsoever to Tom. The Hammonds worker refused to put our TV back on the wall after fitting the unit, but Tom did that for us at no extra cost. I will gladly recommend TLS Electrical to everyone I know.

Amazing installation of our EV charger. Tom was really helpful when we were picking the type of charger we wanted as well. Tom was efficient, tidy and did a great job, I would 100% recommend him.

Tom was very punctual, polite, clean and professional when installing my lights and ceiling fan. I would highly recommend. Thank you for your prompt service. I will be calling you again in the future when I need an electrician.

Tom came round to survey my house for a potential Air Con installation, he was really thorough and very professional and gave me all the information I needed. The work was completed last week and I’m super happy with it. Clean and tidy workmanship, really polite and friendly. Good price and No problems with the installation at all, so pleased to have done it.

Gary was recommended via the company doing my garden makeover. His professionalism, in dealing with the outside electrical work was impressive but moving forward he advised on other issues within my property that for safety and future proofing should be considered. I followed his advice and can't thank him enough for his 110% customer service. Would highly recommend.

Gary came out to complete an electrical installation condition report at short notice, and did an amazing job. Gary was very friendly, professional and turned the form around quickly so I could move along with my house sale.

Rating: 5 / 5

Called Gary for a few small jobs that needed to be done after moving into a new house. He was prompt, clear, friendly and understood each job perfectly. So glad we chose him because he helped to explain different options. He was a little cheaper than others I had called but was very impressed by his knowledge, appearance and attitude. I would recommend Gary wholeheartedly. Thanks for all of your work Gary! Very much appreciated.

Rating: 5 / 5

Gary uninstalled my EV charger and reinstalled at my new house on such short notice after being let down by another Local electrical company, his workmanship is of the highest quality, safety is always number one priority and takes great pride in making sure the customer is happy with the results. I highly recommend Gary for his expertise and quality of work, I will also be using him to supply power to my garage….standby by for further updates.

We are so lucky to have this gem in Lincoln! Myself and my partner went for the garlic mushroom with burrata and the smokey and halved them between us and we would say they were some of the nicest pizzas we’ve ever had! The smoked scamorza sticks were good, although the dip was way too spicy for me but they’re good enough on their own if you don’t like spice 🌶️ The mango and passion fruit tiramisu was divine. The restaurant does feel very small but as the evening went on and it got a bit quieter, the vibes were cosy and chilled and the music was top tier for me. Overall absolutely fantastic and we will be back 🍕😌

What a lovely little pizzeria. All veggie/vegan but wow the flavors. We had the mushroom truffle & the garlic mushroom, absolutely lush. They are big, but what a great breakfast of you take them home. Don't forget to leave room for the Tiramisu as our amazing

Rating: 5 / 5

Thoroughly enjoyed my meal here yesterday evening. The team is extremely friendly and there was a wide variety of pizzas and drinks on the menu. Love the vegetarian concept, and I have to save, the pizzas were simply amazing. The tiramisu is a nice little treat to wrap up your meal with. I would suggest that you try to make a reservation in advance if you plan to dine in.

Phenomenal pizza in the heart of Lincoln. The crust has the perfect mix of air, chew and crisp and was cooked perfectly. They offer sauces for dipping, but honestly, I you really don't need them. The pizza is great as is. I do think this place is a must try. If you do eat in, it is a good idea to reserve a table ahead of time as it is quite small. I did also like the option to borrow a picnic blanket to eat in the park across the street. The fresh tiramisu was a great way to cap off my meal. Food 5 Service 5 Atmosphere 5

Will was recommended by a third party, we contacted him by phone, explained what needed doing and he gave us a date and time for getting the job done. Will arrived on time was very friendly and polite, the job was done and he was meticulous in cleaning up after the job was finished. We would highly recommend him. Thank you Will for a job well done.

Will did a fantastic job recently on our bathroom. He's hard working, punctual and very reliable. He did and outstanding job at a very good price. Cannot recommend him highly enough.

Will came late on a Friday night to help sort our car charger out. He encountered all sorts of problems with the website that were not his fault. However he persevered and got us working. He didn’t leave while late in the evening. He was insistent that he would get us sorted and he did. He was really nice and told us what he was doing. He is a tremendous chap and we can’t thank him enough. I would have no problem recommending him.

Rating: 5 / 5

Will did a full rewire in our house. He was friendly and patient explaining the steps involved, always turned up when he said he would and tidied up afterwards. He finished the job ahead of schedule. I found him very trustworthy and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure the job was completed to our satisfaction. I would recommend him to anyone.

Rating: 5 / 5

This place doesn't disappoint! Every time I come here I make an effort to try something different and it's no exaggeration to say all of the food is incredible. What started as a one time coffee and lunch a while ago has turned into a very regular routine. Very friendly staff with an excellent and personable chef. All cooked in house with an obvious amount of care and attention. I would recommend this to anyone with a love of food and quality!

Superlative café , warm , friendly, good ebb and flow of folks and local characters. Good part of town, near the bus and train stations. Harry was front of house working hard. His father popped up to help clear, to check his creations were to standard, which they certainly were. I had a hot chocolate large which was great, I had a sweet goats cheese pastry, and a spinach and cheese spiral pastry. The spiral was a little disappointing and I might suggest a home made chutney or relish red onion perhaps. Or even a small salad, garnish. The pastry is fine but combining it with a cherry tomato salad, pine nuts meh would take it to a higher level. That said 2 pastries and a hot drink for £8 is a brilliant price..... Excellent VFM. Later I had a flat white coffee and a wonderful ham cheese and onion Crete take on pizza..wow great combo. Again for just under £10. That's splendid news and worth advertising. Well curated music , none of which I knew , says more about me than the café. Thanks for a leisurely lunch on a lovely day in autumn Lincoln. Just nearby is the walk n ride bus stop that takes you back to the station. Or onwards and upwards to the cathedral.

If you’re a fan of freshly baked, handmade bread, Bread Vault is an absolute must-visit! From the moment you walk in, the inviting aroma of bread baking in the oven wraps around you like a warm hug. You can truly taste the difference that hand-kneading and quality ingredients make. The crust is beautifully crisp, while the inside is soft, flavorful, and fresh. Pair their bread with their homemade spreads, soups, or sandwiches, and you’re in for a treat. The café also offers a cozy ambiance, perfect for enjoying your meal with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or tea. Whether you’re grabbing a loaf to take home or enjoying a meal on-site, Bread Vault never disappoints. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates the art of handmade bread and a warm, welcoming atmosphere!

As a man with complex neurodiversity and disability, I was so very impressed by this restaurant. I find it very difficult, to find suitable venues that tick all my sensory boxes, but The Bread Vault has succeeded. From the moment I entered, I was struck by the bright and welcoming environment, and the calming sensory outlay of the place. The location is great, sited just off the main road and close to hotels, train and coach station. The dining area is open-plan, and easily accessible for wheelchair users. It is a clean, bright and comforting space, with large windows and soft modern ambient classical music, played at just the right volume. The seating is varied, ranging from small bistro tables, to larger couches and tables. It is an accommodating space for children, adults and those with disability. The owners and service staff made me feel so very welcomed, and I felt no social anxiety whatsoever, even surrounded by other customers. The food is excellent, and so abundant, for such a small price. For just £10.80, I got the tastiest and largest breakfast I've ever had. It was presented beautifully, and included coffee, several slices of toast, and choice of condiments. Dietary restrictions are catered for, and the menu seems extensive. It is clear that the owners are seasoned hospitality professionals, as well as genuinely warm, friendly people. I include the service staff, also, who do a fantastic job. All in all, I feel this is the best café in Lincoln, and I do not give these type of reviews lightly. I will only ever come here from now on. Well done, guys. Keep up the excellent work! Five stars is not enough!
