We've made many friends through the quiz and we love all of the locals too. The staff here have always made us feel welcome and that's why we still go week in, week out! Plus, the food is really good too! My family and I often enjoy dropping in for a Sunday dinner now and again.”

“Exceptional Service – A Standout Experience with Vicki! I have stayed in many hotels over the years, encountering a wide range of service experiences, but I can confidently say that Vicki at the Merlin Innkeepers is in the top tier of hospitality professionals. From the moment we arrived, she was polite, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Her accommodating nature and willingness to go above and beyond made our stay truly enjoyable. What stood out the most was how effortlessly she balanced professionalism with warmth, making us feel valued and well taken care of. No request was too much trouble, and her attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our stay was smooth and comfortable. Because of Vicki, I will wholeheartedly recommend staying at the Merlin Innkeepers. Excellent service makes all the difference, and she exemplifies what true hospitality should be. Thank you, Vicki, for making our visit so memorable—we will certainly be back!”

“Down for a weekend from Rhyl went to Lincolns in town centre warm welcome felt comfortable excellent food well priced definitely worth a visit if you've not been not far from shopping centre cromptom place it's a little hidden gem”

“I had the pleasure of dining here yesterday. The food was amazing and the portion sizes were great. Our waitress was so lovely, and extremely friendly. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious and homely meal, looking forward to going back!”

“Very pleasant place, air conditioned with attentive staff. My first visit, but would gladly return. Sushi was wonderful, fresh fish, good seasoning, gyōzas not doughy, but lovely and thin. Had to wait for a while for the second innings, but the staff was apologetic and since what followed was excellent we didn't mind. I wish I took some photos, but was too busy eating! Loved it! Thank you.”

“Amazing curry at this place tonight. Visiting for the weekend and stumbled upon this amazing restaurant. I had the Lamb Jaipouri! Really really delicious!”

“Absolutely amazing chippy! Always try to go in every week! The gravy is thick and rich (the best kind of gravy). The lady is really nice who serves me and the food for me is fabulous!”

“First time customer. Went to the shop to order as it's close to home. It was busy (Sunday 6.30ish) always a good sign. Chose the Cocktail Masala, with Garlic Nan, Onion Bhajis, Poppadoms and usual accompaniments. The guy apologised for the wait which was only about 15mins or so which was less than I expected but they have that many Chefs it shouldn't have surprised me. It's an open kitchen, very clean, and reasonable prices. Will def be going back and definitely recommend.”

“Absolutely love there food its the best in middleton special fried rice ive ordered from for yrs nobody makes rice like them brilliant family run takeaway...”

“Mainly a locals pub but welcoming they have a big function room think it's a small free for the cleaner..”

“Been coming in the George for few weeks now after not being here for couple of years. Food menu has changed and is really good. Two meals for £12 on certain days. Can not complain one bit. Bar staff actually have a smile on their faces and make you feel welcome. Quiz nights music pool table live football all a bonus. Dog friendly”

“Visiting friends in the area and called in for a breakfast rather than have one at the Premier Inn we were staying at. Excellent value for money and well cooked. Refills on the drinks good as extras can be expensive. Pleasant staff to always a bonus...”

“Been coming here for over a year, and honestly the best nails I’ve ever had done wouldn’t go anywhere else, never had a bad experience here and will carry on to use this store, polite staff very friendly”
