The William Foster is just off the main High Street, in Lincoln’s main shopping area, with something for all ages and needs. During the daytime, we offer a plush (but easy-going) atmosphere, with a vibrant lunchtime trade – an easy venue in which to chill, meet, eat and drink – with specials offers on food and drink.

By night, we become the place to meet for either a nice quiet drink or, depending on your mood, a great place to start your party night, with a vast range of cocktails and drinks offers.

On Fridays and Saturdays we have our residents playing all of your party favourites.
