Been here a few times with my wife to take advantage of the meal deal that they offer. 2 starters for £5, 2 mains for £15 and 2 desserts for £5. Not a huge choice of starters but should be something for everyone. 10+ main options with fish, meat and vegetarian options. Tried various mains including the calamari, chicken cacciatore... More

We have eaten at the barge once before, as a couple and had a great experience. We went this week, on a mid-week evening to celebrate our son's birthday, as a party of 16 people. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding, very friendly and efficient. Even with a large party booking everything was spot on and they... More

I have visited the barge many times, always to mouthwatering food - whether it is a lunchtime menu or the a la carte. Bank Holiday monday was no exception. We had friends staying and they left the Barge with their tastebuds tingling from the delicious food they had just eaten. Thank You.

Having seen this restaurant for a number of years we finally decided to have lunch during a visit to Lincoln. We sat in the open area with the sun beaming down and the afternoon was perfect for lunch in Lincoln. We ordered from the Lunch Time Menu with each of us ordering slightly different. For starters we ordered Soup and... More

My 3rd visit, spur of the moment this time, got a table downstairs early evening and had a delicious meal of mussels & french bread. Staff are so attentive, polite & friendly, able to answer our questions about their extensive seafood menu and their wine list. We only intended to stop by for an hour but we stayed far longer...

This was right in front of our hotel and we booked for four couples on the Sunday before we went home after our weekend in Lincoln. There were no spaces upstairs but downstairs was still lovely. Only two of the group had starters...one had whitebait, which he said were really nice and my husband had cheesy garlic bread, which he... More

We have eaten here three times now and each visit has been very enjoyable, good food and service. There is a lot of choice on the menu to suit all. I would not class the venue as 'fine dining' but the food is very good and the atmosphere is very friendly. If you go, try and book a table by... More

I just wanted to thank the manager and all the crew on The Barge for a very enjoyable Friday evening. The dinner was wonderful, the service first class and every one of our group of 37 really enjoyed themselves. We shall certainly be making further reservations on The Barge.
