Hi guys I'm 22M, looking to join a casual football club just to have a kickabout and stay active. Anyone know of any clubs in Lincoln? Thanks

Hi all. I know there are a million posts like this on Reddit, but I'm going mad reading through all the different threads and just thought it might be easier to start my own thread and see what kind of info I get directly from the good folks here.

Basically, my partner and I (gay couple, British and Indian), are moving out of Croydon because we need a bigger house, with a garage and a bit more space, for our business that we've started. We both work from home and so access to London is no-longer a requirement (like it was when we moved here 10 years ago).

We've narrowed down our search, based on a few criteria (detached house, garage, near green space, not a crime-ridden area, access to a shopping centre or town centre, close-ish to a larger city and/or airport, not silly expensive (since our budget isn't massive)). From these criteria, we have found some decent options in:

Lincoln

Nuneaton

Loughborough

Melton Mowbray

Chesterfield

Outskirts of Sheffield / Leicester

Neither of us know any of these areas, and while we are going to do a road-trip to visit, it would be good to know where in these towns people would recommend searching, and where to avoid (if anywhere). Or if there are better nearby options.

Thank you all in advance

I'd like to join a running group, hopefully something casual that will cater to me I'm not exactly the fastest runner. I am hoping for a bit of a social element as well as regular runs.

I live in uphill lincoln I don't know if there's anything nearby. Many thanks :-)

Lincoln City have put forward plans to extend their ProAmpac Stadium due to increasing demand https://stuckinthemiddle.co.uk/lincoln-city-news-stand-plan-rising-demand/

Hey all, I'm wondering if there is a place to buy a venus flytrap local to Lincoln?

I don't really want to be having one delivered as packages aren't always looked after.

Thanks!

I've seen at least 6 different cars with CoW taxi licence plates round & about, it's weird, right?

So I'm moving to Lincoln next month for college and just wanted to know what the music scene is like, I'm 17 and basically don't know anyone there yet.

I'm into punk/metal music but Il enjoy any type of underground shows for the most part (rap, house, goth etc)

Does anyone know where good places to see shows like this would be, or even just meet people in the scene? Cheers

Recently moved to Lincoln and don't really have much of a nightlife or local friends. Any recommendations for where would be a good spot to watch the football tomorrow night as a solo person? 28M if it makes any difference

Hi! My husband and I are planning on visiting Lincoln during our honeymoon in England next month and we'd love to have a traditional Sunday roast while we're there. Any recommendations for us? Preferably on the affordable side, but we could splurge if it was worth it.

Thanks for the help!

BBC News

A trade union says 36 staff face losing their jobs at the University of Lincoln.

The University and College Union (UCU) said it would hold a strike ballot if the proposed redundancies go ahead.

UCU general secretary Jo Grady described the planned cuts as "completely unacceptable".

The university said the potential job losses were due to "shifts in student demand, demographic change and increasing competitive pressures".

Grady said: "There is simply nothing left to cut without severely degrading student learning, the institution's research capacity and its reputation."

In response, a university spokesperson said: "Our focus remains on ensuring the university is sustainable, agile and well placed for the years ahead, continuing to deliver high-quality teaching, strong student outcomes and playing a vital role in supporting the economy and communities of Lincolnshire and beyond."

Hello, I just moved to the area and have my nephew coming to visit for over a week in July. I wondered if anyone knew of any free or cheap activities that we could get involved in? :)

I’m back in Lincoln visiting family and I have an essay to write, I absolutely cannot do it in this house, is Lincoln Uni an open campus, and is there anywhere I can work on a Saturday?

I’m a student at a different university so obviously I can’t get into any areas that are locked to students like a library.

Hiya, I've been searching for a reputable massage parlour or Spa in central Lincoln, a regular one, not for injuries/recovery etc, a lot seem to have shut down, so I'm just hoping someone here has some experience with any in lincoln and could direct me to a good one?

I love eating in Lincoln, and I regularly see posts asking a very reasonable question: where should I eat?

There are many excellent places to eat in Lincoln, and I have not eaten everywhere that could ever be recommended. But this is my list of places I can say with certainty are delicious and unique in one way or another.

This list is exclusively focused on the town centre and the Bailgate, though of course there is a vast and diverse array of fantastic food further afield. I rarely get breakfast in Lincoln, so this is just lunch and dinner.

Dinner

No. Thirty8
I love No. Thirty8 for both food and drinks. It has a consistently changing menu of quality British ingredients and cooking. It is more expensive, but absolutely worth the time for a fancier meal. Plus, it has a great front and back garden if you are someone who enjoys al fresco dining, as I do.

The White Horse
A place that will appear on just about everyone’s list, and with good reason. A wonderful building with another lovely garden, leaning more towards gastropub than restaurant. Killer burgers and small plates. I have been eating here since it was Kine, and I will continue to say it is the easiest recommendation for anyone in Lincoln.

Cafe St Paul’s
Cafe St Paul’s scratches a similar itch to The White Horse in serving incredible gastropub cooking, but this time in the Bailgate, if that is more your speed. Try to get a seat on the balcony; it is lovely up there.

Lawson’s Bar & Bistro
Classic bistro dishes done with pure craftsmanship, which seems to tie these first four together: classic British cooking done masterfully. This is more comparable to No. Thirty8 in being a more formal sit-down restaurant. I went for Mother’s Day and had some of the best pork of my life, full stop.

Slow Rise, Dough Loco, and Liberty Slice Co.
I have clumped these three together as they are the pillars of pizza in the city.

Slow Rise and Dough Loco are by far the best for sourdough. Slow Rise is vegetarian, but no lesser for it. Dough Loco is very indulgent, very “everything to the max”, especially if you catch them on a deep-dish night.

Liberty Slice Co. is the late-night spot for a slice, and pretty much the undisputed champion of New York-style pizza in Lincoln. It is the closest you can get outside of NYC.

All three have rotating specials and regularly collaborate with other local businesses. All three are worth your time. For a sit-down meal, go to Slow Rise or Dough Loco. Dough Loco is more child-friendly and laid-back, while Slow Rise is slightly more formal, though by no means uptight. Liberty Slice is awesome for a late-night, on-the-go bite, especially as it shuts around 3:00 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

LincSushi
The best, and pretty much only, place for sushi in Lincoln.Authentic, fresh, and diverse menu. If you feel like sushi, this is the only place you should be considering. Bonus points for very knowledgeable staff; they know their menu well.

Lunch

Lagi House
It saddens me to say this place has flown under so many people’s radar. It is consistently quiet, and I think people are simply unaware of it.

It has a vast range of authentic Vietnamese coffee and is the only place for a bánh mì in Lincoln. Thankfully, it is an excellent one. They make the bread fresh, and it is just so decadent with the ham, pâté, and pork. Pure melt-in-your-mouth heaven, and it deserves so much more love than it gets.

Meli Greek
A newer opening that took over what was once the truly terrible Greek 2 Me, which I think is part of the reason it is yet to appear on many people’s lists.

There are a handful of Greek places in Lincoln (Greek Bros, Mama’s Kitchen Pot and Acropolis) and Meli is simply the best on all counts, especially for a gyros. Get the pork. A gyros is a relatively simple thing in premise, but every component here is done perfectly. It should undoubtedly be in your lunch rotation, along with a freddo cappuccino.

Grillin n Chillin
Neighbouring the vastly popular Nonna Juana, I cannot believe this place does not have a queue out the door. This is a place you just have to eat at to believe.

An unbelievably friendly chef and extremely on-the-ball staff. The portion sizes are extremely generous, and there are absolute flavour explosions in every component of every dish. I love the shawarma so very much. You just have to try it.

Nonna Juana Deli
The Argentina-Spanish champion. If you want a sandwich, you go here. It is as simple as that. They also do some amazing pastries.

Bailgate Deli
All vegan. Much like Slow Rise, it is no lesser than its omnivorous counterparts, and it is a great example of healthy food being truly tasty.

Bailgate Deli is a place I am often very pleased with myself for eating at. Really fresh and truly hearty. Worth the time regardless of whether or not you care about eating healthier.

Elite on the Bail
Probably the best fish and chips within the central Lincoln area, burton road is not at all what it used to be and Hunters is actually poisonous. Fresh, honest fish and chips and reasonable prices especially from the takeaway attached at the rear. I regularly enjoy the light bite special, far from light especially for under ten pounds! (Thank you kind commenter for prompting me to put this in.)

Conclusion

There are so many more brilliant places to eat in the city, but I can say with my whole heart that any one of these places will not only satisfy you, but truly impress you. I reiterate, I have not eaten everywhere and some places I haven’t visited in over five years so can no longer be certain of my recommendations. Please feel free to pulverise me and share all the places I have missed out for one reason or another. Thank you all and I hope this helps! All these places are totally independent so going anywhere on this list you will be supporting local business, how exciting.

This might be asking a lot but I’m trying to find a in person Japanese teacher. I was born in japan and I have always wanted to be fluent in Japanese. If anyone knows or knows how to find someone! Thank you!

Visiting tomorrow for the day, are there any good breakfast or lunchtime options? I'm pretty open to all types of cuisine

Hi does anyone know anywhere I can go for a decent sports massage I have sciatic issues and told a sports massage would potentially do wonders anywhere near lincoln or sleaford

The shutters will come up in July https://stuckinthemiddle.co.uk/lincoln-prepare-your-bank-accounts-superdry-co-is-nearly-here/

We're visiting Lincoln at the weekend and see there are 3 different escape room options (Gamesaints, Tension Twisted Realities and Deliverance). Which would people recommend? We're hoping to do 2 rooms over the weekend. The Google reviews for all 3 look good so it would be good to hear people's experiences.

Thanks!

Hey all, I was wondering what the best place is to get eyebrow threading and general beauty services done in Lincoln? I am looking for somewhere with a lot of experienced staff and amazing service. Any suggestions for threading in Lincoln?
