Where to eat

Lincolnshire is a predominantly agricultural county, and this is reflected in the speciality food within Lincoln itself - many residents are very proud of the local produce, and it is very easy to find at local restaurants. Some of these include Lincolnshire sausages, which are well-known across the UK, and differ from other British sausage types by using coarser-ground pork and a heavy use of sage for flavouring.
