So, you might remember that some time ago we taught you all how to climb Steep Hill without wanting to die. Wasn’t that just spectacular?
Well, we promised you a video and know you’ve been going out of your mind, wondering when you could see such a wonderful short film.
You’ll be pleased to know that the wait is finally over, enjoy!
Here at Lincoln & That, we like producing informative documentary style programming in order to treat our readers. Continue reading

You may have heard about the American food craze that is the cronut.
You’ve not heard of a cronut? Well crawl out from under that rock and I’ll tell you. Continue reading

In uphill Lincoln, there’s a cosy little establishment named Café Zoot.
Unlike the name suggests, it is in fact a restaurant. Continue reading
The Barge on the Brayford is basically a little restaurant-boat-thing floating on the Brayford. But unlike Wagamama’s, it doesn’t completely trash the nice view – in fact, it probably wouldn’t look right without it.
It’s a very romantic little vessel. Especially if you like things to be “cosy”. It’s quite small, as boats usually are, and you don’t have “that” much personal space when it’s busy in there. It’s like being packed in a tin of sardines.
You could go there with a significant other, friend or someone that you like to share your “romantic” moments with. The posh table cloths, mellow lighting and candles will make things even more lovey dovey as you stare longingly into one another’s eyes. Ew.
As for the menu, well, it’s pretty well known for serving fish courses. Lots and lots and lots of fish courses. If you can think of a fish, they probably have it. It’s kind of like being in an aquarium. And no, that isn’t a euphemism (remember, they have lots of fish courses).
They even serve duckling. Yes, DUCKLING. Lincolnshire duckling, to be exact.
There are lots of other wonderful foods on offer, including meats and salads. Which is good, because personally, the idea of eating a duckling makes me want to vomit.
I’m not a fussy eater, but I also have odd cravings? So, whilst on a barge full of wonderful sea food, what did I have? Lincolnshire sausage & mash, of course. But it was wonderful. The mash was cooked perfectly and the sausages were very meaty (and I do like a good sausage). There was also plenty of gravy, which is of course a necessity.
The atmosphere is great and there’s also a really nice view. Even when it’s dark, the night time view of the Brayford looks really pretty. (It’s basically the perfect Instagram moment).
The Barge on The Brayford is much more than just a barge. It’s an M&S barge. Well not really, but it is pretty much as perfect as some of the reduced things you might find in there. To get you in the mood, here’s a lovely boat themed song…
You can have your potatoes many ways, but this week all eyes are on the chip.
Tomorrow is the last day of National Chip Week. (Noooooo). Continue reading
‘Why does this matter, and what are you on about?’ I can hear you asking.
Well.
Click this, and see what the problem is.
It turns out that Abraham Lincoln was way ahead of his time and basically decided to ruin our chances of ever getting a successful site.
The issue is that in transcripts and works about the Gettysburg address, he says “and that” a few times, couple that with the word “Lincoln” and bingo, that’s our problem.
The problem isn’t quite as bad if you use Google UK, but still. Look at how sneaky he’s being, getting in there below us.
Basically, what we’re saying is that Abraham Lincoln was an arse. Not only was he American, he was an arse.
So, picture this, you’re in Lincoln and someone mentions a stop off for coffee/tea/cake.
Then you remember you’re never more than a metre from a tea or coffee shop.
Our latest find is Churchills Restaurant & Coffee Bar.
Located on the High Street, opposite Carluccio’s, this cosy coffee shop is modern with a relaxed atmosphere. Not the usual tatty looking leather sofas and patterned bucket chairs placed round a coffee table. It definitely feels more like a restaurant, with cushions on the seats to soften the mood (and the seats).
The menu contains a selection of hot and cold drinks, all at reasonable prices. They also serve meals, as it’s also a restaurant. How lovely if you’re struggling to choose between food or coffee.
The desserts and cake selection is definitely amazing, so many different puddings. So many we spent several minutes umm-ing and ahh-ing over what to get. Eventually I opted for a warm scone, you may pronounce this as ‘scon’ (we’ll save that debate for another time), with jam and cream.
Finally the staff are really friendly and welcoming, which makes everything so much better. It runs on waitress service too, so there’s none of the embarrassing slow walk across with a tray of hot beverages. If you’re in hurry, (you’re obviously busy), you might as well stop by to pick up something to take away.
On the 7th November, just to be exact, Richard Morris wrote a lovely, little entertaining piece called “Yes, it’s not just you, those revolving doors are annoying.”
We know, we know that you have been waiting for these vlogs since November. Sometimes we just have to wait for the best things in life. Yes, our vlogs are that phenomenal.
Well here is what you have been waiting for.
So, we’ve all heard about this NekNominate thing. My first issue with NekNominate is how they’ve spelt it, shouldn’t it be spelt like this neck-o-nominate? That makes more sense and now it looks like it’s been spelt correctly too. Continue reading
