We believe in ‘proper pubs’. You know when you’ve entered a proper pub. It’s a sense, not a blueprint and it differs from location to location because it reflects both the needs of its regulars and the personality of its owner. We’re always welcoming. Whether you’ve just popped in for a visit while passing through or you’re a regular each week, we’ll make you feel welcome and at home, always having time for a friendly chat. Children and dogs are welcome, because they’re part of the family. We’re proud to serve real ale. That’s what we do. Real Ale has soul, character and personality and it’ll always be the headline of our range of drinks. We also offer real cider, wines and spirits. We stock lager, but not the mainstream brands. We’ll involve the local community at every step of the way. We’ll create local employment opportunities. We’ll offer events that reflect the local community, never imposing an idea but responding to what’s wanted or needed in the area. We’ll always listen and we’ll never be afraid to admit it if we get it wrong. If we get it wrong, we’ll put things right. About Lincoln Green. Lincoln Green Brewing Company began brewing in May 2012, introducing a new range of traditional ales brewed with pride in Hucknall, Nottingham. We take our name from the colour of the dyed woollen cloth associated with the Nottinghamshire legend of Robin Hood. We're passionate about real ale and produce four core beers -

Marion (Pale Ale 3.8%)
Hood (Best Bitter 4.2%)
Sherwood (Extra Pale Ale 4.4%)
Tuck (Porter 4.7%)

Seasonal ales and occasional specials compliment the core range. Lincoln Green Public House Company Limited has been established to support our plans to open up to five outlets over the next five years. The pubs will reflect our philosophy of 'proper pubs'.

Tuesday night quiz

It’s a special quiz this week. It’s my last quiz night with you, and more importantly, it shall also be Sparkle the pub dog’s last quiz night. Although I’m moving on to a new challenge, Sparkle is going to be stepping down as a pub dog. She shall be a stay at home dog, but don’t worry, she shall be getting plenty of love and affection still.

The jackpot is now over £200, that anyone could win. We have half the pub booked already, so get your bookings in as soon as you can to secure your teams place.

Quiz night is always one of my favourites, and it’s been a privilege getting to meet and know so many awesome people. It’ll be great to see as many of you as possible tomorrow night, and for you to have Sparkle cuddles if you like.

Thank you
Mark, and Sparkle

Today I would like to say a huge thank you to Darcey. She’s the only person her that has been here longer than myself, and with me now entering by last week here, she’ll continue to be the longest serving person on The Sir John’s team under Lincoln Green.

And what better way to celebrate Darcey than to confirm, we are again in the CAMRA Good B**r Guide for 2027 published last Thursday.

Darcey, like myself, loves real ale and knows more about ale than anyone else here. She looks after the cellar and shares her knowledge with the team and customers too. Here she is heading into this weekend with 4 of the 8 ales available on the bar.

If you ever have any ale questions, ask anyone that works here, or head straight for Darcey. We never keep our ales on longer than their best. We would rather bin a b**r than serve an ale not on its best form.

Thank you Darcey, you’ve been a rock and I’ll miss you immensely.

Sunday roast

Last week we sold out, so book early this week to avoid disappointment. When you see that we don’t cut corners with our roasts, and we start at £9.95, you can see why we sell out.

This week we are aiming to serve from 12-5, with bookings taken until 4pm.

We have roast for meat eaters and plant eaters alike. And we can also do a full gluten free roast too.

It’s Sparkle’s penultimate quiz so she’s enjoying her morning coffee whilst finalising the questions.

Tuesday quiz night

8pm start. Big cash prizes.

It’s not always about winning. This team have been coming for over 4 years. Every week they compete in the game of higher or lower, and somehow manage to go out on either the first or second card 😂. One day they’ll walk out with the cash.
