Morning Star, Lincoln

Visited November 2024 A lovely traditional backstreet pub with the visit enhanced by the real fire burning away nicely, arriving ahead of the main PuG crawl due to our early arrival and the fact it's an eleven '0' clock opener. Six handpumps with the beers noted below, I went for the Ossett White Rat which was in decent shape.

A very nice smallish back street local with a main bar you enter into, then a smaller snug area to the left and a larger room space through an arch to the right. Very nice traditional decor and one not blighted by loud music or fruit machines and the two small flat screen TVs in each of the side areas were turned off during our visit. All six ale pumps in operation with the range described by the two reviewers below and I went for the Ossett White Rat, prompting the landlady to comment that the locals had passed comment that it was a good one, and they were not wrong, and it was served in excellent condition also. Yes, I agree one for decent ale and conversation and I wouldn’t hesitate to return to this one.

I really liked this pub,traditional in so many ways and with a lively and friendly landlady .You enter into the tap room with a few seats opposite the bar,to the left a real fire kicking out some good heat ,a tiled floor and bench seating in crimson velour,to the right a lounge area ,while behind the bar is a charming snug with small banquettes.There were a few regulars in on this Friday lunchtime visit . The ale selection was Doom Bar ,St Austell Proper Job,TT Boltmaker,Milestone Shine On,Osset White Rat (NBSS 4)and Pheasantry Best.2025 GBG entry fully deserved. I would most certainly return and spend a lot longer in this homely boozer next time compared to this short crawl stop.
