Local Produce in Lincoln

If you’re looking to sample some local produce in Lincoln, you won’t be disappointed. With so much food grown, produced and reared in Lincolnshire, it should come as no surprise that we’re pretty passionate about our local delicacies.

You may well be familiar with the humble Lincolnshire sausage, however, there’s much more to Lincoln than our famous bangers. From Piper’s Crisps and Poacher Cheese, to Stokes Coffee and Lincoln Gin, you will find locally made food and drink on offer across the city.

There a number of independent eateries who specialise in showcasing local produce. Top restaurants like Antlers, Reform and the Jews House use only the finest local ingredients to create their dishes, utilising what’s in season to reduce food miles.

You will also find Lincolnshire-made treats in our coffee shops; Bells Tea Shop, Coffee Depot and the Cheese Society all use local suppliers, supporting companies like Vines Bakery, Grain of Truth Bakery and Lincoln Tea & Coffee.

Outside of the city, farm shops are in abundance. Doddington Farm Shop, Uncle Henry’s and Redhill Farm Shop are all award-winning, and absolutely packed with delicious Lincolnshire produce. You can shop guilt-free, knowing that your food has been farmed, grown and produced sustainably, by businesses passionate about their product.

From gin making at the Louth Distillery to coffee tasting sessions at Stokes, these interactive experiences will allow you the chance to learn more about your favourite product, and the processes that go into making it.
