About

Nestled on the iconic High Bridge in Lincoln, Stokes High Bridge Café seamlessly blends centuries‑old history with modern hospitality. The café occupies a 16th‑century building that dates back to 1160, offering guests a unique and atmospheric setting where timber‑framed walls walk alongside the River Witham. Visitors can savour a menu of award‑winning freshly roasted coffees, loose‑leaf teas, savoury breakfast and lunch dishes, and the celebrated afternoon‑tea spread that includes delicate sandwiches, scones and bespoke mini quiches. With a relaxed, family‑friendly environment and an inclusive menu that includes vegan, vegetarian and gluten‑free options, the café is perfect for a leisurely catch‑up, a quiet morning or a picturesque Sunday brunch. The upstairs tea room overlooks the historic bridge, making it the ideal spot for photo‑ops and a memorable taste of Lincoln’s heritage.
