The Best Restaurants in North Hykeham, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom (2025)

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 🍕😌

Recently expanded with more tables and the pizza is really the very best in the midlands and must be among the top in the U.K.. Every pizza on the menu is great and well-balanced. The ‘sweet pea’ special on atm has a particularly light, refreshing taste with an innovative pea and lemon base.

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

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

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

Beautiful authentic Italian food, lovely staff! Doesn’t matter how many times I eat here I will always need more!! Soo delicious! Book ahead to make sure you get a table!

Such a thrill to find this gem. All of the dishes we ordered, which all happened to be vegan, looked, smelt and tasted amazing. Lincoln was such a beautiful city, eating here was the cherry on top. Bravo!

Great atmosphere and friendly, welcoming service. I would have given 5🌟 for the food. It was super speedy getting to the table and was quite delicious, but I forgot to ask for no parsley, and it was covered in it…

On our way back from Lincoln we stopped here for dinner and gosh was it a good idea. Staff were super friendly and managed to squeeze us in even without a booking (would advise to book as they’re very busy). We ordered several different tapas which we all enjoyed. All the food was super tasty and well cooked. We were all really satisfied with our meal. The bread basket was a great start, freshly baked and still warm. The croquettes and the seafood paella were my two favourites. 100% recommend.

Came for dinner on Friday night. Went back on Saturday and Sunday. The dough is life-changing. Great service, friendly vibes. Staff were all personable and helpful. I can’t say enough good things about this pizza joint. Already planning our next trip to Lincoln so we can indulge in some more. Thanks for three great meals.

Nice place to come with family! Freshly cooked pizza, friendly atmosphere, great service. This is all you need to spend lovely evening 🤩

First time at Dough Loco and what a great time we had! We loved the disco ball and swing music and it was the perfect setting to celebrate my Mum’s birthday. Luke and Hannah FOH were both very friendly and had great knowledge of the menu and energy - they also gave my Mum a complementary drink which was so nice! Big shout out also to Leah and Henry in the kitchen who made DELICIOUS vegan pizzas. Full of flavour and expertly made. It’s great to see an independent venue doing so well and all of the staff clearly love working here and with one another which is also lovely to see!

The food was fantastic and very very tasty.... however we were not told we only had the table for 2 hours and after spending near on £400 pounds with them they couldn't wait to get us out of the door for the next customers, and was told if you would like a sweet then you would have to take it with you. Not at all pleased.

Visited the Duke William Hotel yesterday with my husband for the first time yesterday. What a lovely pub! The decor inside is beautiful, and the food was delicious. We were served by a young man called Charlie, who brought the drinks to our table and was very polite, and the staff that served us our food were also friendly! We will definitely be returning. Thank you for a great Sunday evening.

Lovely atmosphere, amazing food and fantastic service & staff. Steak came out differently than I ordered it (still delicious) and they comped the dish no questions asked. Made changes for dietary requirements too, absolutely no fuss. Will certainly be going back!

This is becoming one of my favourite places to refresh when in town. The staff are always very polite, professional and welcoming. Excellent choice at the bar with fair prices. The choice of seating is excellent whether inside or out. Little heaters outside are great. I have eaten and drank here but never stayed, I'm curious to what the rooms are like, to the point I may even book me and my wife in one night, even though we only live 15min out of town.

The bar was busy on the day we visited and we got the last table. I think the food deserves a review especially the sea bass which was an amazingly nice plate of food. The sea bass and the pie came with roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots and green veg which were cooked to perfection. My sister-in-law said the pie was a little salty but overall 5 stars.

Great meal and a lovely evening 9 of us in a group. The upstairs dining area is really nice, beautifully lit Food was excellent as was the service and the bill very reasonable. Staff were great, friendly, efficient and helpful After the meal it was a 5 minute walk to the top of broadgate for the rest of the evening Great restaurant

Went on a Tues night had to book a table . Upstairs was packed out at 8pm . Was noisy from other diners air con wasn't on so was very warm inside even though it was 10deg outside. Ordered the chicken tandoori (was on a hotplate ) really nice. And then a chicken madras chips an plain naan. Again was really tasty . Food was hot . Madras had a kick to it rice was light n fluffy. Food very good

Brilliant Indian restaurant in great location. Food was amazing and service especially attentive. Small first floor restaurant with takeaway on ground floor. Booking recommended to avoid disappointment. Will go again.

My friend & I Annette, came here on a Friday evening. The staff are very friendly & helpful. The atmosphere is relaxing & calm. The food is absolutely amazing 🤩!!! We highly recommend! I enjoyed the Tandoori chicken on the bone (lots of delicious flavours!) and I chose the coconut 🥥 rice 🍚 which was really tasty too! We were very happy overall, & will definitely return! A big thank you to all the staff xx

Service was great. Staff were friendly. Although hearing that we had to wait for approval from management to order food, when we'd booked for food, wasn't fantastic. The food tasted fantastic, although seeing the words, 'Then add as much meat as you can eat' gave the impression that there would be more meat whe this wasn't the case. Would probably still come back though.

Haven’t been to Huckleberry’s for a couple of years. Staff are helpful and polite, and menu was varied. The food was freshly cooked and incredibly tasty. We have been to other similar style restaurants in Lincoln but Huckleberry’s tops them. We will definitely be back.

Superb place just off what I’d call the high street (not local so not sure that’s an accurate description). Staff couldn’t have been more friendly, young chap and lady serving were super polite and helpful and what I would assume was the manageress/owner was brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble, wasn’t sure if I could handle the “hot sauce” for the wings so she kindly offered to do them plain and then give me the sauce separately (along with the other sauce options to try), wings were super crispy, my main of brisket and pulled pork was really tasty and my colleague also enjoyed his wings and (absolutely massive!!!) Big Mac burger. Really good pricing, huge portions and most importantly top quality service and staff that actually cared that we enjoyed the meal/experience. Would I visit again when in Lincoln, 100% yes

Great service and food. Loved it. Shame its 90.miles away. 5 of us for daughters 18th. Even left her a card wishing her a happy birthday. The waitress was Brill . Forgot her name. She said she's been there about a month but so attentive and awesome. The food was amazing honestly. The drinks also. Coming back 💯. Thanks again

Fantastic food, cooked perfectly. Has a wonderful atmosphere and the service by Shona was impeccable. Will most definitely return & highly recommend.

Just had festive menu. It was very tasty hot and well presented. Staff were very professional and treated with great respect as I'm disabled they us plenty of time to get settled. Thank you.

Had a great experience here. Monday lunchtime, so not the busiest, but the staff were welcoming and attentive, the food was good and inexpensive. Top marks. Other than! And this is splitting hairs, we weren't asked if we needed more drinks or extra sauces when our food was delivered. So close to perfection!

Really good menu options including veggie, varied daily specials, plus excellent service (thanks Kadie) and good value for money. I enjoyed lunch with friends here and I'm looking forward to going again 👍

We were just passing on a day, when they had brought out a new menu. I loved the option of restaurant seating, or you pop to the bar to order. Fabulous staff, delicious food, presented beautifully. We just walked in around 5.30pm. I suspect I may have to book in future though as it soon filled up. Really like this venue 💜

Love this oldey worldey place. Amazing food. Friendly staff. Beautiful setting on the waterfront. Highly recommend

Absolutely fabulous pub with a fantastic range of cask and keg beers, wines, spirits and a vast range of gins. All the beers we had were on excellent form and served perfectly by what i must say were the nicest and most obliging in Lincoln. We also had an evening meal, scampi and chips and pie of the day and chips which was spot on. All in all a great place to go.

Our waitress Ishka was absolutely amazing today, she went above and beyond not only accommodating us to a preferred table, she was attentive throughout, our glasses were not left empty and we didn't wait to order our food. She was polite and friendly and did not make us feel rushed at all! A special thank you to her for sorting our christmas eve booking out, I booked it for outside by mistake! Oops! She not only sorting it out for me, but reserved the table- no7, where we had our very first date! So thank you so much for making our Xmas eve that extra bit special! The bar and restaurant was clean and cosy with the burning fire! Our food was delicious and so filling! We can't wait to come back again! Thanks for making out girls date perfect!

Dog Friendly Love Pub/ Restaurant. Food was lovely although was disappointed with the calamari as needed to be bigger bits so less crunchy still okay, also missing Alioli :(. Quick service very clean and good atmosphere.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had the most wonderful experience at this pub for our pre-Christmas dinner! After being out of the country working for over a year, it was the perfect place to reconnect with family and enjoy a festive meal. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with twinkling lights and a cozy, holiday vibe that made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious, with all the traditional trimmings cooked to perfection. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the dog was welcome too, making the whole afternoon even more special. It truly felt like the ideal place to make memories after such a long time away. Thank you!
