It's time to Nibble!
00:54
Recipes4Students
Lets take a peek at Nibbles, based in Lincoln.
It is primarily a delivery based place, but obviously you can still just go in and get something. They have an extensive menu, put simply they have 40 different kinds of pizza, in 9", 12" or 14"!
They also have garlic breads, kebabs, burgers, fried chicken, baguettes and even jacket potatoes. It pretty easy to find something that you want. Everything is under £10, and the special offers are also very generous in what you get.
They are certainly worth checking out.
This where you will find them:
If you want a delivery you can ring 01522 805535. Best of all, they take cards when you spend over £5. They're open seven days a week, from 4pm to 11pm.
I personally think this place is very good if you want nice food, quickly. Deliveries never take more than half an hour.
I give it 4/5, heading towards 5/5.

Food First
18:18
Recipes4Students
Today we decided to go for a regular old Chinese take-away.
We jumped on our online boards and surfed our way over to Justeat.co.uk and had a look at what they had on offer.
Deciding to play it safe we went with Food First, having been there numerous times before. Unfortunately every time we had been there previously we had been on a night out so we only had a vague memory of what to expect.
You can imagine our surprise when we saw that cheeseburgers were on the menu. Chinese cheeseburgers?! WHAT THE ACTUAL F-! When it arrived it felt like Christmas, 'My Chinese double cheese burger is here! YES! HIGH FIVE!'
But alas, just like that time we found out Santa wasn't real, we were full of overwhelming disappointment. It turns out when you order a cheeseburger from a Chinese there is absolutely nothing Chinese about it. At £2.90 each we know where we’ll be going next time we fancy a double cheeseburger. McDonalds.
Thankfully we also ordered the spicy chicken wings with chilli sauce on. Now they were spicy. They had onions and peppers on them that you expect to see on Chinese food (you know the ones that look like compost) and the sauce had a bit of a kick as well. Which is good because they cost £4.50 so if they didn’t burn the taste buds a little bit we’d have felt right ripped off. Oh wait, we did. We also ordered a portion of chips which were the nicest bit of the whole order. They were the soft squidgy ones that you search through the pile of fries for, result. Good with salad cream but they went cold quite fast.
Finally we ordered a 1.5 litre bottle of coke which went flat before we finished it. But we can’t blame Food First for that, that one goes out to Coca Cola.
The whole meal cost us £10.50. Other people ordered food as well but lord knows what they ordered we were far too busy salivating over the idea of a Chinese burger (sigh, it still hurts). There’s also a £2.00 delivery cost which for the quality of the food is absolute extortion.
Recommendation? Go there when drunk, it’s just better that way. We’ll give it 2/5 stars and an overall thumbs down.

Angel Cafe
10:51
Recipes4Students
Now dear reader, being students ourselves we fully understand when you think "I can't afford that, I have to drink myself to death!" So when we suggest heading down to Angel Cafe on Free School Lane (opposite the Waterside centre near the bingo hall), please hear us out and don't look so affronted.
The coffee shop offers a range of teas, coffees and hot chocolates for anyone to enjoy. If you are so impatient that you tend to scold yourself drinking hot drinks then don't worry, they offer cold ones as well.
The most surprising thing about the quaint little chapel is the paninis. They offer a range from cheese and meatball to chicken salsa, peri peri chicken and one filled entirely with peppers (madness). The paninis on offer are delicious but we wouldn't say they are moreish, just that they leave you wanting more. The difference here being that you aren't left wanting more panini you are left wishing you were full.
At £3.95 a pop it's safe to say this is the place to take Mum and Dad when they come visit and demand to buy you lunch. They can admire the art on the walls and the relaxed atmosphere that the Angel Coffee Shop emits whilst you enjoy your panina safe in the knowledge that it didn't cost you a penny.

The Slug and Lettuce

274 High Street, Lincoln LN2 1JG
Every Monday night one of Lincoln’s very own Slug and Lettuce throws caution to the wind and offers half price food for all! After a few bad experiences at the Slug (A bland tuna panini and a traumatic chicken korma) we decided to go for the bread and humus starter followed by the southern fried chicken wrap.
The bread and humus was as always, delicious. We honestly don’t know why they offer any other starters. Whether you like to dip your slightly warmed bread in the balsamic vinegar or the humus is completely up to you we just recommend you GET THE BREAD AND HUMUS!
The southern fried chicken wrap was incredible. Kentucky fried who? Unlike Chicken Cottage the chicken was moist and flavoured by a range of peppers and sauce. Beautiful.
Unfortunately you have to pay a pound for a side of chips (But it’s half price, so we were hardly going to complain.) A sound tip is to keep the humus from the starter as it makes an awesome chip dip!

Ming's Garden

Recipes4Students
129 West Parade - LN1 1QS 01522 537402
Mings Garden is a great takeaway for cheap, healthy nutritious food and is definitely recommended by us here at StudentRecipes. From starters to mains to desserts these guys have it covered and it won't cost you that much.
The receipt below is what our lazy team ordered last week to test out Mings dishes.
| Pcs. | Name | Description | Unit Price | Total |
| 1 | X 1M. Mixed Hors D`oeuvres (For Two Persons) | (Starters) - Sesame prawn on toast (4), crispy won ton (6), spring rolls Cantonese style (2), salt & pepper ribs (4) with sweet & sour sauce | £ 8.40 | £ 8.40 |
| 1 | X 6a. Salt & Pepper Ribs (Chilli Hot) | (Starters) - | £ 5.50 | £ 5.50 |
| 1 | X 2M. Crispy Won Ton with Sweet & Sour Sauce | (Starters) - | £ 3.90 | £ 3.90 |
| 1 | X 48. Singapore Fried Rice | (Fried Rice Dishes) - Spicy | £ 4.80 | £ 4.80 |
| 1 | X 50. Egg Fried Rice | (Fried Rice Dishes) - | £ 2.10 | £ 2.10 |
| 1 | X 99. Duck with Orange Sauce | (Duck Dishes) - | £ 5.80 | £ 5.80 |
| 1 | X 135. Smoked Shredded Chicken with Chilli | (Chicken Dishes) - Spicy | £ 4.90 | £ 4.90 |
| Delivery price: | £ 2.00 | |||
| Total: | £ 37.40 | |||
Everything on this order was fantastic. Nothing was left behind and everything went, which is a good thing in our lazy book. We'd recommend everything on the order, especially the Mixed Hors D`oeuvres and the Duck in orange sauce.
As starters come the Mixed Hors D`oeuvres is a brilliant choice because of the amount of choice you get with the starter. You get 4 types of chinese starters and for first time Chinese goers its a great starter to test the water with.
The Duck, just like the starter, is a good dish for Chinese starters and is exceptionally good. The sauce compliments the duck brilliantly and one of the reasons we'd recommend this dish above the others is because at some chinese's duck dish always have lots of fatty bit left on the duck. In Mings case there is just the right amount to hold the flavor and not too much so that you're constantly chewing away.
Main meals range from £3.90 - £8.80
Orders must be above £8 to get delivery otherwise must collect at shop
We give Mings 4/5.

The Modern Tandoori
05:51
Recipes4Students
370 High Street - LN5 7RU Lincoln 01522 534202
Fancy something with a bit of spice? The Modern Tandoori is a good place to start. The prices arereasonable and you definitely get your money's worth.
For curry lovers we'd recommend their Patia. It contains enough heat to give you a kick but no so much to put your fork down and head for the water. However if heat is your thing you must try the Rogan Josh. Admittedly not the most imaginative of choices but it will give real curry lovers a big kick.
For a more laid back curry fans we'd say go for the Pasanda. The dish is sweet and creamy, without been too sickly.
Main meal prices range from £4.75 - £8.25
Orders must be above £10 to get delivery otherwise must collect at shop
We give this takeaway 4/5.

Beef Mince and Pasta Bake

Very simple to make and share with flatmates. It is OK reheated in the microwave, but best eaten straight
