The Lincoln (also known as the Lincoln Arms) is a proper Southbury local — the kind of neighbourhood pub where the staff know your name and the food is better than it needs to be. After a change of hands and a rough patch, the new team has turned things around with warm service, solid pub grub, and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps the regulars coming back.
Friendly staff, tasty pub grub and a warm welcome — The Lincoln is a Southbury local that's bounced back under new management.
Check opening hours before heading over — the pub had inconsistent hours in the past, though the new team has been working to stabilise them.
A Southbury local that's found its feet again
The Lincoln is the sort of place that proves a pub doesn't need to be fancy to be genuinely good. After a rocky period with inconsistent service and unpredictable opening hours, the new team has clearly put in the work — reviewers now praise the pleasant, welcoming staff and the noticeably improved experience. You'll find a proper local atmosphere here, the kind where regulars are recognised and newcomers are made to feel at home.
The food gets consistent nods for being good value, well-presented, and tasty — exactly what you want from a neighbourhood pub kitchen. It's not trying to be a gastropub, and that's the point. Pair it with a pint and you've got a solid lunch or a relaxed evening sorted.
If you're in Southbury or passing through Enfield, this is a dependable, no-nonsense spot. Don't expect anything cutting-edge, but do expect friendly faces, decent grub, and the kind of warmth that's increasingly hard to find in London's pub scene.
