Great food in a lovely long established but well maintained pub. Table layout and ambiance is very good. Food is always plentiful with lots of choice to satisfy people with different food requirements. Drinks are very reasonably priced. A great local for us.

Service & ambience were excellent. Loved the garlic prawns & scallops in Ponzu sauce. The chicken skewers were overcooked & very dry. But overall, we had a great lunch.

The pub provides plenty of dish options including vegetarian dishes. Meals arrive promptly and are always tasty and nutritious. We particularly like the pumpkin ravioli with vegetable pesto sauce. The staff are friendly and helpful. Ambiance is good.

9 of us invaded The Linc last Saturday evening. Friends/neighbours from a nearby apartment. 4 tram stops! Food was really good - and so say all of us! Lamb shanks to die for! Very obliging staff right from my first booking and then a couple of changes. A noisy night - lots of peeps! It’s a pub! Upmarket, but a pub! Only complaint and partly my fault - didn’t check whether there were any round tables. Very difficult to get to talk to everyone as we were in a corner and on a long table and seats and stuck there. General consensus was - we would all return. Heather Frith

Good food was enjoyed by a large group of family members meeting up for a special occasion Some people arrived in dribs and drabs but the hotel staff accommodated everyone with good cheer. The food was substantial and of a very good quality. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our thanks to the friendly obliging staff.
