Morning Star, Lincoln

This is a detached pub with rear beer patio area. A simple Georgian/Victorian looking brick cottage-styled building with side extension it has a Play School look to it with its four former rounded sash windows (now modern), if the entrance was not just off-centre. The interior has three areas. You walk into the main bar where the serving bar faces you. It is an L-shaped room with light green and olive green walls and a red tile floor, with red seats and stools. It has a brick fire and some brasses dotted about, as well as old photos and a few prints on the walls (along with jubilee stuff). There is a side area to the right for dining. There is a TV here, but this wasn't on as there was a charity event going on with a guy playing your choice of vinyl singles from his impressive collection for a donation - cracking stuff. There is a snug at the back in the same decor, just with a carpet. It too has a brick fire, a TV (not on) and mirrors and prints on the walls. The service was friendly and it was rammed with regulars. Beer; usual tap stuff with 6 real ales on handpull; Deuchars IPA, Ruddles County, Wells Bombardier, Bass, Wadworth Red, White & Blue and a decent Timothy Taylor Golden Best MILD. A really nice community pub. A wide choice of beer, even if some are more generic, with a decent quality. A single pint stop-off doesn't do it justice.
