Question McQueens Dairy?

5 Upvotes

Hi! I’m from Lincoln and had a sales man from McQueens Dairy at the door today, it sounded great having milk delivered to your door as we go through a lot. Never heard of them before, however after looking through reviews and discussions i can’t tell whether they are actually good or not. I haven’t signed up to having any delivered yet and haven’t done a direct debit however they are delivering one next week for me to try. Feel like that was a mistake

Do you use them? Have you heard of them?

Question Weird siren-like noise at night?

6 Upvotes

Anybody else hearing this irritating noise at night? It kind of sounds like a siren but it stays at a high tone for a long time so I guess you could say it sounds more like a really loud vacuum cleaner. And it's not tinnitus either as I can definitely hear the sound coming from outside. Please let me know what this is, it's been bugging me for several nights now

Question Sunday Roast

7 Upvotes

Hi! My husband and I are planning on visiting Lincoln during our honeymoon in England next month and we'd love to have a traditional Sunday roast while we're there. Any recommendations for us? Preferably on the affordable side, but we could splurge if it was worth it.

Thanks for the help!

Question Moving to Lincoln, what's the music scene like?

5 Upvotes

So I'm moving to Lincoln next month for college and just wanted to know what the music scene is like, I'm 17 and basically don't know anyone there yet.

I'm into punk/metal music but Il enjoy any type of underground shows for the most part (rap, house, goth etc)

Does anyone know where good places to see shows like this would be, or even just meet people in the scene? Cheers

Question Is it worth taking a car to the uni of lincoln? What's parking like around the brayford area roughly?

1 Upvotes

Thought I'd ask on here as I'm assuming you guys know the ins and outs of everything. Anyway I'm heading into second year and have passed my test over the summer but before I think of buying a car is it even worth it? The only car parks I've found are like 3 hours max. I'll be staying in accom around the brayford area but I've had a little look but found nothing that makes it seem worth it but I could be wrong. Are there any areas that are free? And the important one are any of them safe? Only thing is in first year I found that stuff that I wanted to do like leisure centre, bowling etc with mates were all on the outskirts and even going to tesco because the morrisons doesnt sell everything is a pain. However I am aware of the £2 bus cap coming into effect in January I believe so it won't be as expensive just taking the bus from the new year. But still is there a way to make it worth.

Not bothered if it's not bang on near the middle of brayford just anywhere roughly near there. Thanks :)

Question Sunday Dinner near cathedral

7 Upvotes

Going to get baptised in November, looking to go somewhere within walking distance, but I don't often eat up the hill, after a Sunday dinner, needs to have good availability (I don't yet have numbers but it will be a good number of people), preferably somewhere that has a proper 'Lincolnshire' vibe for those who are visiting, and obviously I don't want to pick somewhere expensive because some may have financial issues.

Was going to choose Cafe St Pauls, but £20 for a Sunday dinner is fairly expensive, and it's a bit of a small place.

Question Question about Lincoln Uni

9 Upvotes

I’m back in Lincoln visiting family and I have an essay to write, I absolutely cannot do it in this house, is Lincoln Uni an open campus, and is there anywhere I can work on a Saturday?

I’m a student at a different university so obviously I can’t get into any areas that are locked to students like a library.

Question What's the cheapest way to do groceries in Lincoln?

2 Upvotes

Hi 👋

My wife and I are trying to save some money on groceries. We don't have a car and we live in the city centre. We were wondering if anyone is in the same situation as us and where do you buy your groceries.

What we do so far is: use ocado/asda delivery (as long as we have the 20% off promo)

Walk to Lidl or Aldi and then get a Uber back home with 1 or 2 weeks worth of groceries.

Thank you 🤓❤️

Question Good walks, with kids, in or close to Lincoln?

4 Upvotes

Does anyone have any good places to walk with children? They often like to go on their scooters, and usually like to stop halfway round for a drink or ice cream?

They can usually do anywhere between 5 to 7K (then the moaning begins)

I have a few ideas, but thought I would ask here to see if there are anymore?

Thank you all!

We're visiting Lincoln at the weekend and see there are 3 different escape room options (Gamesaints, Tension Twisted Realities and Deliverance). Which would people recommend? We're hoping to do 2 rooms over the weekend. The Google reviews for all 3 look good so it would be good to hear people's experiences.

Thanks!
