Restaurants
Samba Brazil
At Samba Brazil they specialise in the famous churrascaria (BBQ) style of restaurant that is a favorite in Brazil for both Brazilians and visitors.
The idea started in Rio Grande do Sul the southern cattle state of Brazil where the Gaucho live and work. For a celebration meal they would cook (BBQ) many different cuts of meats on large skewers over an open fire and then carve the meat at the table.
Come and experience the Brazilian way here in Lincoln - you won't leave hungry!
Pubs
Royal William IV
Situated in central Lincoln, in the riverside north east corner of Brayford Pool is The Royal William IV, dating back over 170 years in an area with a history going back considerably longer. Traces of late Iron Age occupation dating from the 1st century BC were noted during excavations in 1972.
Today the Royal William IV is a traditional Lincolnshire pub with a great selection of beers & wines, serving classic pub food in a friendly atmosphere.
There is a large sitting area outside in the warmer months, right alongside the Brayford Pool.
Everyone is welcome.
