Crown & Arrows

Head out towards Moorland Avenue and you'll find yourself in that part of Lincoln where the chain pubs do proper business—because they've earned it. The Crown & Arrows trades in the sort of no-nonsense hospitality that works: solid pub grub, reasonable prices, and staff who aren't pretentious about any of it. This is the kind of place where you'll see regulars nursing pints at the bar alongside families treating themselves to midweek dinners. The Hungry Horse formula means reliable food (think burgers, pies, Sunday roasts) at prices that won't make you wince, and the crowd here seems genuinely happy about that arrangement.
