Big Wok, Beaumont Fee, Lincoln. This is a Chinese restaurant that offers only a Buffet. In the early to mid afternoon there is the standard buffet that is open until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The Grand Buffet starts at this time which offers a Tepenyaki, sushi and Pekin Duck and a number of other alternatives. The food is generally good, although some of the items that are deep fried are a little greasy rather than crispy. The reputation of the restaurant has suffered somewhat due to poor hygiene however the management insist that new measures have now been taken to ensure top quality food. But it's advisable to treat that with a pinch of salt! Prices are £4.99 for the standard buffet and this rises to about £8.99 for the Grand Buffet. Drinks are extra but fairly reasonable (A large Coca Cola costs about £2.50, coming in a Pint sized glass). No service fee is charged, but a tips jar is available at the counter should any wish to make any. Be advised that you are charged on the basis of how many seats are filled as well as what buffet is ordered. So although you may not eat anything, you will still be charged the full cost of a meal.

Chimichanga's, Brayford Waterfront, Lincoln. This is a new restaurant, however has received great reviews of it's food. Service is considered to be mediocre, but due to it's staff being new to the business, it can be expected that service will improve. Chimichanga's specialises in Mexican style food and is relatively expensive, but food is considered to be of very high quality.

Nando's, Brayford Waterfront, Lincoln. This restaurant serves mainly chicken dishes that are well spiced. It generally specialises in Portuguese style dishes involving chicken. It's service is very good and very prompt. Nando's serve dishes with a special Peri Peri sauce. Customers can choose how hot they would like their meal. Beware of the Extra hot serving! Prices are fairly cheap considering the size of portions you receive. There is no service charge and babies and children are very welcome.

The Nosey Parker, Tritton Road (at the junction with Dixon Street) This is a pub that serves a pub lunch. Portions are fairly generous and you can expect to pay about £5-£10 for a meal although there are a number of special offers where you can receive 2 meals for £10. Their steak is absolutely fantastic and quite generous.

Pizza Express, High Street (at the corner with Grantham Street), Lincoln. Is is in the upper half of the pedestrianised High Street. Don't let the name fool you! It doesn't serve pizza fast. It serves, what some would say, the best pizza in all of Lincoln, but expect to pay somewhat higher prices!

Planet Masala, Wigford Way, (5 minutes from the High Street), Lincoln. Indian restaurant. The general standard of food is fairly good, but service is very very slow. Expect to wait up to a half hour for a meal! This will be the same even if you are the only customers in the restaurant. Various reasons have been offered to answer this, one of which included that "meals were cooked to order" though this is unlikely! Drinks come in a very small glass but are refillable, though don't be surprised if you had to refill your drinks half a dozen times during the course of a meal. Prices are fairly low, but a full meal could be expensive. Dishes generally cost about £5-£8 each.

Pyewipe Inn - good food, but a somewhat arrogant attitude to customer service
