Won't be back!
No accessible parking.
Not good for wheelchair access inside (Other patrons helped us get our wheelchair through swinging doors)
Food portions small & expensive (had to pay extra to get salad with a parma)
Wife's chicken smelt off. They replaced her meal after I said I would get it tested.

We came back because we couldn't get back to our Hotel at Coolaroo 2 years ago at night and a tram was blocking our way and traffic jam...loved the friendly customer service

The Lincolnshire was quite busy and unfortunately abit noisy. I wouldn't recommend it if you wanted a quiet setting to chat. However, considering it was busy, what seemed limited staff, did an amazing job. Were very helpful and friendly and the food was really nice.

The food in the bistro was pretty ordinary.
Staff were extremely pleasant and friendly.
Venue is clean.
We had a drink in the pub which has a really lovely atmosphere. Again very clean and comfortable.
I'd definitely go back for a drink.
I would eat tgere again for a basic meal when I can't be bothered cooking, but not chose this bistro as a venue to go out for dinner.

Steaks seem to be of a lower quality than they used to be.

Only went for a pint, which was good. Didn't eat, so no idea what this was like, but the place was clean and the staff friendly. Would like to go back for lunch.

Not a single vegan option. Staff were kind and apologetic. They managed to find a vegan patty they had been given as a sample and made me a salad too. Lovely service but definitely felt like a burden. Not sure anyone else with dietary requirements would have luck getting something to eat here.

No dessert - chef's gone home!
Atmosphere is great. Pub is nicely decorated. I ordered Roast of the day which was Pork. Good serving of meat but it was a little dry. I ordered a Cosmopolitan cocktail and received it in a wine glass (it didn't bother me, but it would others). It tasted quite good. Our reservation was for 7pm and after we ate our meals (8.00pm) we asked about Dessert only to be told that there are no desserts as Chef has gone home...it was 8pm? Extremely disappointing and strange. Why weren't we at least asked earlier if we would like to order dessert before the chef goes home?

I went for a meal here with family after a lovely day. I have been numerous times before and never been impressed with the limited vegetarian options or service, and this time didn’t disappoint. I ordered and even pointed to the first option on the menu which was the eggplant parmigiana. The blond woman taking the order seemed to be very distracted, busy and exhausted. When I asked her if it came with vegetables or salad, she said no just the meal, so I ordered a side plate of vegetables. Then she proceeded to ask me if I wanted vegetables or chips on the side. When i told her she had just said it comes alone, she was rude and denied saying that, so i said ok I’ll have vegetables as a side and canceled the seperate vegetable order i had just made. When the order came, it was a chicken Parma. Then I kindly told the waiter that I ordered the eggplant Parma, he seemed confused and walked away with no apology. The blond woman I ordered from then came rushing over to the table with the chicken Parma and aggressively told me I definitely ordered a chicken Parma. I didn’t want to involve the people I was with, but I was very shocked by the way she spoke to me, so I said I’ve been vegetarian for 25 years and I wouldn’t have ordered chicken. She huffed and puffed and raised her voice, telling me again that I had definitely ordered the chicken, and it took another 40 minutes for my meal to come. By this time the people I was eating with had finished their meals. The eggplant Parma was 80% zucchini and absolutely awful, they’d obviously run out of eggplant. It was covered in a dry tomato sauce and hard breadcrumbs and something else I couldn’t make out. It tasted like a frozen meal that had been re-heated in the microwave numerous times or left on the oven too long. I received nil apologies, and was aggressively accused of ordering the wrong meal and treated like I put them out. I WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT AGAIN!!!

Interior is fairly new. Burger was okay. Reasonable selection of beers and wines.

I had my 21st held at the Linc on the weekend and it was absolutely fantastic! The venue was so nice and the staff were amazing not too mention how good the food was, I’ve had so many messages from my guests complimenting the party and saying how delicious the food was. Even saying it’s the best finger food they’ve ever had at any party. The staff were so attentive and made the night run so smoothly. Thank you guys so much for all your efforts throughout the night! They were so helpful when it came to being flexible with the pick up/ drop off of any props and speakers I had for the night also. I’d highly recommend using this venue for any of your functions!!

If you want the Lincolnshire arms hotel food experience , go to your local frozen section at your choice of supermarket and grab the McCain Parma meal when you get to the checkout give the cashier a 20 dollar tip on top . If the cashier walks past several times and ignores you or forgets you for the 4 th time then well done you just saved a trip to this pub.
I never give bad reviews but this was a exception …Food was horrible ! Service was a circus act

Great pub meal at Lincoln Arms in North Essendon over the weekend. We tried the garlic prawns and chicken scallopini from the specials board. Delicious! 😋

Great location, very quiet when we arrived. We ordered Tapas style to share. The duck spring rolls were great. However, the brushetta was good with a slightly soggy middle. The downfall was the Saganeki. It was quite oily and seemed like it was left too long in the cooking process. Staff service was very welcoming, they bknew exactly what they were doing.

Good choice for the dinner (excellent range of food and almost everything is really good) but not a good choice for drinks (choice of beers are pretty poor).

Due to the pandemic it had been quite a while since I had been there last. Very relaxing with pleasant ambience. Menue was small but a good variety to choose from. I chose steak and was very pleased with my choice.

Dinner for 2 at the Lincolnshire after not being here for several years.
Tried the fried Broccoli as entre.
Open souvlaki was ok, lamb was well cooked, however there was too much salad and no chips.
Roast lamb was very nice and good portion size.
Will come back again to try the burger as it looked very tasty.

A large establishment with a good beer range. The kitchen unfortunately needs some improvement. The Parma was under par by Melbourne standards and $28 which is on the higher end of the Parma scale. The vegetables (pictured) were $9 for one small potato and some tasteless soggy stir fried veg mixed in. The salad was ok but the lettuce had grit through it. Would go back for beer only.

A great little pub with good hearty food. Not too fancy but at the same time a little hit and miss and nothing that really made it stand out above other pub options. It has a bit of a quaint atmosphere for dining and still worth a visit as the price you pay for the food is definitely worth it.

A great kocal pub that has sonetume for everyone. Watch the footy and have a few drinks or have a quiet dinner with friends, or do both. The atmosphere is relaxed and the prices for drinks ans food are reasonable.

$30 for a chicken parmigiana, that doesn’t come with salad. Only veg. If you want salad you have to pay an extra $6.50.
$6.5 for a pot of Carlton.
No good. Won’t be back.
