Lincoln is the ultimate food lover’s destination. Culinary tradition meets exceptional taste, and quality is always served.

Lincoln is home to a thriving business community, with longstanding family establishments and award-winning shops. These businesses offer a diverse array of products, ensuring that every culinary need is met with the highest standards. Whether you're looking for handcrafted goods, farm-fresh produce, or speciality items, Lincoln’s foodie hubs are committed to providing the best.

Start your day with something freshly baked from Lincolnshire’s renowned bakery, Curtis of Lincoln, a beloved bakery with nearly 200 years of history. This is a great spot to sample some local produce - including Lincolnshire plum bread.

8 miles away from the city centre, Doddington Hall's award-winning Farm Shop provides seasonal estate produce, including Lincoln Red beef and vegetables from Doddington's own estate. You can also find a selection of locally made cheese, bread and alcohol, and an array of sweet treats.

For local meat, the Rick Stein recommended Redhill Farm Shop is a must-visit. Everything at Redhill is made by hand at the family's farm in Gainsborough. Visit the Redhill Farm Shop in the Bail and you will find a vast selection of award-winning products, including free-range pork, grass-fed beef, lamb and hogget. You can also pick up free-range eggs, hand-raised pork pies, dry-cured bacon - and of course, their signature Lincolnshire sausages.
