The swan and the rushes is a pub for adults. Furthermore it is a pub for teachers as this is where…read morethey all hang out. The swan and the rushes offers meals, generally they are all typical british food but personally the menu doesnt quite suit me. The people that come here are people who respect the taste of beers and ales and just want to have a friendly chat. This place is not big, its not loud but more civilised. The place has a variety of ales and stouts so if youre really into that sort of thing then this is the place to go. Personally i find the place just looks way to run down for me, it really is an ugly place, inside and out.

Unfortunately we ate here as a group of 4 this evening, and they managed to mess up 3 separate…read moredishes we ordered. The level of customer service received was beyond abysmal. The first wrong dish was them sending bacon covered pancakes despite us ordering the vegetarian dish (after a 20+ minute wait by the way - place was not even half full). First time the staff were quite apologetic and after a further 10 minute wait the vegetarian had the correct dish. The dish that I opted for was the 'sloppy joe fries' and paid extra for the privilege, and received some very pale undercooked fries without any topping. We asked for them to be corrected which seemed to greatly offend the waitress. There was no apology for the mistake and when it was corrected we said 'Thank you' to which the waitress did not even acknowledge or respond. After ordering desserts (wish we had known better) and a further 20 minute wait, I received the waffle and cookie dough sundae, sans waffles and with the worst ice cream I've had in years. Picture the tub of cheap vanilla you have had in the freezer for 2 years with the lid off, frozen through and covered in icicles and that is the ice cream we received. The fact that we had been treated with such disdain after raising 2 other mistakes they had made, meant that we didn't feel comfortable raising a further issue. New menu or not the whole experience was shameful and in future it's better to not make the customer feel guilty raising genuine concerns. A simple 'so sorry about that; let me fix this' would have saved the need for me to write this review. Avoid until they can fix these issues. Shame because I have been visiting this pub on and off for over 10 years. Will not re-visit.

This pub is part of the "Scream" chain so if you get your hands on a "yellow card" (£1 for students which is valid for a year) you can get some good discounts on beers. Great beer and burger deal from 3PM-8PM most days and they usually show major sporting events on various TV screens and projectors in the pub. There is a mezzanine level with an itbox and a few pool tables too. Plenty of comfy seating around the pub. Secret bar upstairs opened up when busy which can make this a pretty large pub... upstairs is definitely worth a visit if open!

We had a few pints here when in Lincoln a couple evenings, but did not have the food, so this…read morereview does not address the food, only beer, service, and the place itself. Overall, I'm truly at about 3.5 for this place but I'll round down to 3 because 4 is definitely too high. I'd try it again to see if in Lincoln again, but overall it just seemed like a decent pub with decent cask ale. It's a Marston's pub so has selections from the Marston's range of beers as the primary offerings, which is not a problem. They had some good ones - Old Thumper, Pedigree, and Hobgoblin, plus 61 Deep which I have not had and one empty pump. They have 5 pumps in total. That is a big plus, but they had nothing particularly special. The beer (Old Thumper) was in good condition but not perfect condition so it could have been better. It seems pretty good but was a bit slapdash in service and how it was run. It was very crowded. The place itself is nice and has a great location between the castle and cathedral. It definitely gets 4 for the place and location, as well as the decent range of good cask ales, 3 stars for the less then perfect condition of the beer and the general impression that the service and cleaning are decent but could be better.

The walking ghost tours start opposite it and it is a great place for a warm, drink and loo when at the famous Christmas Market here. It has been here longer than I can remember and the second floor is a separate restaurant that opens from 19:00hrs until closing nightly and all day at weekends. There is emphasis on big value meals: beef stew and dumplings, vegetarian country pie, 8oz steak, and lots of Sunday roasts. When we went on the evening ghost tour once in December we needed a drink and a warm afterwards. We had a 10 year old with us. We formed a circle round him to hide him and bought him cokes but the staff knew and no-one said anything. A nice venue, good food and friendly atmosphere. Reasonable priced drinks.
