Restaurant/Dining
The Wig & Mitre is a beautiful, characterful pub with origins dating back to the 14th century, offering a rare chance to run a venue steeped in heritage and located in one of the city’s busiest tourist areas.
Positioned just moments from two of Lincoln’s most famous landmarks, the pub benefits from cathedral views from the first-floor windows and is only two streets away from Lincoln Castle. It also sits on Steep Hill – a renowned cobbled street that draws visitors year-round, connecting the bustling lower city to the historic Cathedral Quarter.
This exceptional location ensures strong footfall from both tourists and locals, making it a fantastic opportunity for a commercially driven operator who can maximise both wet and food sales.
The Wig & Mitre is packed with charming period features, delivering an authentic and atmospheric experience across multiple trading spaces:
- Ground Floor: Two distinct trading rooms plus a central bar, creating flexible spaces for drinkers and diners
- First Floor: A second bar with two additional dining areas, benefiting from stunning cathedral views
- Traditional layout with real character, ideal for a premium, quality-led offer
The layout lends itself perfectly to a balanced food and drink business, catering to casual visitors, tourists, and destination diners alike.
