Curtess bakery on High Street is easy for the Rail Station and temp bus station and the area is flat for walking no hill.
I have been there a couple of times freshly made sandwiches cakes etc but it's not large just a few tables.

Sorry, the 6th is out for me as well.

I can`t make the 21st or the 27th.

Wow didn't expect so many replies.
I am away from the 23rd January so before then would suit me.
Monday to Friday from the 8th to the 19th I can just catch the bus into town.

I think I could manage 50m Scribbles! Pity, Oldgoat, would have liked to see you again, but can`t afford the train to York, alas.

Sorry that I can't gate-crash your get-together this time, but I'm off to the Burns afternoon 'do' in Edinburgh at the end of January. Have fun!

It's the same chain CG. I quite often buy their stuff from another branch, just haven't tried the coffee shop (yet). I'll check out accessibility next week although it may be that the nearest you could get by taxi would leave you with a walk of 50m or so. In which case, we'll have to think again.

If that`s the same as the Curtis bakery shop in Boston, they do make exceedingly good sausage rolls and baps of several kinds.

I live just south of Lincoln and would be happy to join in! A lot of the places uphill and on the High Street are difficult to access by taxi since so much of the centre is pedestrianised but Brayford Wharf North is a possibility.
It's not glamorous but somebody told me that the Curtis Bakery in the High Street, just north of St Marks Street, offers an excellent mug of coffee plus very good value bacon rolls and/or cream cakes in its little coffee shop. That's less than five minutes' walk from the temporary bus station, not much more from the rail station and should still be accessible by taxi ...

Hi Jeanie, I live just south of Lincoln. Would love to meet up sometime but might have to delay till end of Jan. because fully committed until then. I am sure we could find a suitable venue Call Girl,

I`d be up for that Jeanie99, as long as the venue is accessible by taxi from the station.

Love to meet up for a cuppa in Lincoln if there is anyone around here. I live in one of the villages nearby.
