The Old Bakery Restaurant in Lincoln

Llegué a la vieja panadería esperando un menú degustador, pero nos dijeron que necesitábamos dejar esto claro en la reserva. Reservé hace tanto tiempo que no estaba seguro de si había una opción para elegir el menú degustador. No somos gente quisquillosa y no nos importó y nos proporcionaron una botella de vino tinto gratis de £ 30 debido a la mezcla - que era agradable. La comida era muy buena y tuvimos una velada agradable. Los dos miembros del personal que no suelen trabajar allí nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos y ambos eran agradables. Lo único negativo que diría es que la habitación era bastante fría, pero un miembro del personal nos dijo que no suele ser tan frío. No estoy seguro de si había un problema de calefacción o qué, no pensamos en preguntar. En general, el personal era muy agradable, la comida era genial y tuvimos una buena comida. Si estuviéramos visitando Lincoln de nuevo, sin duda nos gustaría ir aquí para otra comida!

¡Qué tiempo fabuloso tuvimos de nuevo aquí! El menú degustación de 5 platos con vinos maridados era tan buena relación calidad-precio y nos atendió la encantadora Poppy que se aseguró de que teníamos todo - y más - que se podía esperar de un restaurante de primera clase. Ambiente relajado pero se sentía muy especial. Como una empresa sin fines de lucro ahora dirigida por Lincoln College, no estoy de acuerdo con el costo de Tripadvisor ££ - £ - definitivamente está ahí arriba con lugares calificados Michelin a una fracción del precio. La bonificación, habitación de gran relación calidad-precio, hizo que fuera fácil quedarse y realmente relajarse durante toda la noche. ¡Gracias!

El restaurante era extrañamente tranquilo - es un gran ambiente en el conservatorio, la comida era excepcional y la carta de vinos bien - precio y accesible. Nos atendieron muy bien. Cómodamente nuestra mejor comida durante nuestra estancia

Para celebrar nuestro aniversario de bodas nos regalamos el menú Degustación con vuelo de vino. Wow! Nos preguntaron acerca de las preferencias de alimentos en la reserva y toda la comida se adaptó a nuestros requisitos basados en plantas / pescatarios con cualquier alboroto o inquietud. Cada plato y copa de vino era delicioso, bellamente presentado y descrito. Poppy es una excelente anfitriona y no podríamos haber pedido nada mejor. Gracias.

Reservado para el almuerzo del domingo en el conservatorio. Lamentablemente estaba sentado en una habitación anti-habitación, sin embargo, esto resultó ser fortuito ya que había niños desagradables y ruidosos corriendo con padres aún menos capaces. La comida estaba bien, no muy caliente, porciones pequeñas, y verdura quemada. Sentí que el precio estaba por encima de lo que se sirvió. El servicio estaba bien.

Excellent very friendly service by Poppy who made our experience more pleasurable. The restaurant was very quiet but Poppy ensured that we had a good evening. The tasting menu was excellent but some of the courses should have been reduced in size. The beef short rib was more of a normal main course. We had to take the petit fours back to the hotel and no coffee. However some of the combinations were very interesting and really tasty especially the cod and oxtail. Also the curried scallops were amazing and surprised us.

Lovely warm welcome, we were seated in the conservatory, after being asked if any diatry restrictions, The service was great through out Our meal, the food was of a extremely high standard and beautifully presented To say that we both enjoyed the meal would be a understatement, the three course lunch time menue ticked all the boxes. Our first visit but not the last We are looking forward to trying The evening & Sunday menus.

We booked for The Street food tasting menu. The food was fabulous with local venison, lamb and beef cooked in an imaginative street food style. The staff were great and very attentive and knowledgeable about the food. It was a shame that there were a no show of 7 people. We had a slight delayed start as they were obviously expected by the staff. The staff were very apologetic when they did not arrive. For such a lovely restaurant and the fact it is non profit making, a deposit on booking would be a good idea. At least then it would encourage people to turn up as booked or the restaurant would still have some monetary return for no shows.

We had a lovely meal this Sunday. It was fantastic. I ve putvon at least 2 kilos butbi loved the process. Poppy was our waitress. If I was younger I might fall in love with thisvsuoerb professional. She made our visit special with her lovely attitude and fantastic service. We are now looking at the hotel accommodation and meal combination. It's a lovely venue to have lunch.......we adore this restaurant

Had a very good meal. Fresh bread, strong flavours, started us off. Delicious risotto and crispy Korean chicken starters. Roasted monkfish could have been a bit more roasted, but very nice. Jaffa cake dessert a little dense. Pleasant service with trainee waiter as part of the restaurants committment to developing skills in link with Lincoln college. Very reasonable pricing.

We had heard good reviews of the restaurant for a number of years, and love the ‘not for profit’ concept, so we booked a Saturday evening table for two. The restaurant was about a third full, but had a nice atmosphere. Food: Overall, the food was average, with a few good dishes throughout the meal. Starter and desserts were missing key flavours / textures to make them really stand out. Though duck main was very good, and is recommended. For the price and expectation, it did not hit the spot. Service: This was hit and miss. Wine was just placed on the table and not poured, unused cutlery and used side plates and butter knives from bread were still on the table at dessert. Service felt rushed, and we had three courses well under one hour. The experience just did not match the price tag.

Incredible restaurant. Walking distance of the Cathedral Quarter, not for profit, owned by Lincoln Catering college. Wonder4ful conservatory, plenty of room around the tables, comfortable chairs, small menu, but I could have easily had three of the choices for each course. Excellent aperitive/cocktails, good wine list, I had the Washington Red "Charles and Charles" - superb. I ate oxtail confit for my starter, Jacobs Ladder (beef short rib) for my main, and Date and whisky pudding. 5 out of 5 for everything, and the ladies serving were absolutely incredible. My three companions, has other choices and all raved about the food

It was a pleasure to return to The Old Bakery. Although it is under new management, the quality of the food was excellent. the slow -cooked beef was exceptional as was the deconstructed crumble for dessert. Interesting and good wine list. Still the best place to eat in Lincoln.

Empty restaurent on a Saturday night. The Bronze pig, just up the road, was full as we walked passed it but The Old Bakery only had 2 customers at 7.30 on a Saturday night. No atmosphere. Nice staff but they took such a long time to take our order. One of the breads was so salty our friend could not eat it. The other bread was very under salted. My starter of pate was served on a thin biscuit. There is a reason why pate is usually served with bread or toast, it just goes together. A thin biscuit is not enough to counteract the rich and in this case, salty pate. Mains were served. My friend has asked the waitress to tell the chef not to salt her fish. How I wish I had followed suit! My badly cooked lamb ( it had not been seared and was just grey meat) was so salty I found it inedible and I sent it back to the kitchen. A few moments later the waitress returned to our table with the same plate of food ! The chef had told her to inform me that the salt could not be removed and that is was a special mix which could not be adjusted. It was what it was!! What rubbish I am an ex chef and have always used separate salt and pepper it does not come premixed or portioned. The chef has completely control on how much is added and the chef at the Old bakery over salts food. The other fish dish was also over salted. My husband lamb was not quite as salty as mine but it was still salty. Having sent my food back to the kitchen for the second time I was not offered an alternative and went home hungry to peanut butter on toast. Did the chef really think I would accept his over salted food when it came back to our table the second time, such odd behaviour. While this was all going on I noticed a single diner being taken to a seat. She was there for some while but was not served anything. She then abruptly got up and flounced out of the restaurent, announcing to the (few) other diners that ‘ I hope you are having a better evening than me’ . Well, if she is reading this she will know that these 4 guests also had a bad evening.

we went here for our anniversary last night. it was completely atmosphere less. only 3 couples in all night on a Friday night ( i can remember in years gone by you used to have to book min 3 months in advance ). we ordered lamb which we were never asked how we would like it cooked. it came rare and was tough. the service was good (albeit you would expect it to be with only 6 people in there ) we stayed overnight. the room was very basic, black mould in the shower. was on the main road so very noisy. no breakfast offered but we did have a good one at stokes just behind the old bakery at the Lawns. would i go to the old bakery again? no not any time soon. it has lost its atmosphere and excellent food quality that it had in years gone by

Thank you The Old Bakery. We had such a wonderful meal this evening. The hostess was lovely and very knowledgable about the menu and wines. The food was cooked perfectly and tasted great. A perfect evening xx

We came last night and had a wonderful evening. A party of 11 from 4years old to 80, great service, staff were lovely and food delicious. Great space too. Many thanks to the staff for making it a special evening.

First visit since the University took over this restaurant. What a first class experience it was. Congratulations to the trainee chefs you will go far. Table service staff were excellent, polite, fun and knowledgeable. Chicken liver parfait was fantastic, Roast beef main was the best roast I’ve had in a long while. Superb flavours and perfectly cooked beef. Sublime. Squeezed in a dessert despite being fit to burst. Perfection 😊

Excellent meal at the Old Bakery last night. First time I have been since it was taken over by the college and I think they are doing a great job. Wonderful food, good wine list and friendly service. Will be back again.

Our first visit to this wonderful restaurant. Sunday lunch with the family. What a fantastic repast we had. The service was excellent with very polite and friendly staff. Our lunch was so tasty. We were served with a bread taster which was amazing. One starter was ordered which was the cured mackerel - loved by all who tried it. Then came the mains....Mum and I had the lamb which was cooked to perfection with a wonderful selection of vegetables and a Yorkshire pud to die for. My son and his partner had the beef - again a wonderful tasty meal. My other son had the salmon which was fantastic. To finish off the desserts were ordered there were 3 had the Pistachio and olive cake - oh my!! it was fabulous. A Dark Chocolate Pave was ordered by my son - it was delicious. We had a wonderful time and would like to thank the Chefs, for their hard work on a hot day, who prepared us a wonderful Sunday lunch experience. Will definitely be going again. Well done to all concerned.

Excellent service, with very polite and helpful staff. The chicken liver parfait was lovely and smooth with extremely tasty blue cheese on a tasty gingerbread sable. The beef was excellently tender with a light horseradish sauce within the Roscoff onion. Always a delight going there and advised a couple at looking at the menu to book a table.

We visited the restaurant on Saturday evening with friends and the staff and food was great 😊 the manager and our waiter were tremendous - our experience was superb

Sunday lunch, we were served by James who was excellent. He went to lengths to make sure that everyone was comfortable. He could see that my good lady was struggling with the temperature and moved us to a cooler room that was perfect. The food was amazing, a chicken liver parfait was full of flavor. The roast beef was melt in the mouth and packed full of interesting tastes and we all finished with a beautiful egg custard tarts. Highly recommended, the whole team from welcoming on arrival, creating beautiful food to saying goodbye, we will definitely be back.

The service and the food were faultless. Everything was cooked to perfection. The parfait for starter, beautifully presented and tasted divine. The lamb was so tender served with such a delicious gravy and the custard tart was out of this world. Great wine selection. Thoroughly enjoyed and will definitely be back.

Visited the Old Bakery on a Saturday lunch. Excellent service and decent quality starters and desserts. For main I ordered Pork Loin which unfortunately came as Belly Pork which was pretty much a slab of fat in a nice sauce. It was disappointing not just in how terrible it was but in that the restaurant had tried to deceive and failed. I was refunded two soft drinks as compensation and ate alone as the rest of the party had finished having changed dish. Please also be aware it’s fiercely hot in the conservatory on a summers day and there were no blinds.

We had been regulars when Ivano and his wife were in charge and cooking. The college has taken over and since Ivano has returned to Italy it is used as a training restaurant for catering students. We came last Christmas and were desperately disappointed at the quality of the cooking and at £90 each was definitely not value for money. However, we thought we would give them time to get used to training under a chef and working under pressure. We thought Sunday lunch would be a test of cooking skills. The service was welcoming and we were seated in the conservatory. The room was unbearably hot the blinds had been removed and the sun's heat was amplified by the immense amount of glass. The menu is limited but it shouldn't be a problem if beautifully cooked. Of the 3 starters on offer 2 contained beetroot, which is fine if you like beetroot but lacked imagination the third was ham terrine with piccalilli which was quite nice. I chose the leg of lamb for my main meal Andy husband pork loin. The lamb came in a thick slab and was overcooked. Lamb should be cut thinly and pink inside, it was so difficult to cut we had to ask for a steak knife. The roast potatoes were not freshly cooked and tasted as if they were cooked the night before and warmed up. The vegetables were under cooked. My husbands pork was fine but not enough of it. The same complaint was for the potatoes. Dessert was cheese board and biscuits, Ivano made his own chutney. I had lemon posset with meringue and raspberries and a biscuit which tasted stale,the meringue was hard but the posset really quite good. Altogether not a good meal,if these students want to get on in the cut throat world of catering, they really must try harder.

Brilliant service and excellent food really tasty well cooked food.The history and ambiance create a great atmosphere, I will be back

Second Sunday lunch at the Old Bakery and certainly didn't disappoint. Service and food of a very high quality. Would highly recommend to anybody

Unfortunately we arrived after travelling 2+ hours to get here to find the hotel is closed and we are unable to stay here. Our booking hasn't been cancelled and was confirmed in August. Thanks for ruining our weekend. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Whilst the majority of the meal was very nice the steak was chewy o the point of inedible and under seasoned. My husband was unable to eat his meal and I managed most of mine without enjoyment. We complained to the waitress but nothing further...

Had the tasting menu plus paired wine, superb food, great service, especially the owner Tracey who explained each wine that was served with each course, this was really interesting and had the effect of making the evening less of a meal and more of a...

One of the best birthday presents my wife has given me. 5 hours of genuine enjoyment. Ivano is real star. Foccacia, pasta and pesto, risotto. And tiramasu. Wonderful atmosphere and accompanied by great wine Thoroughly recommend this culinary experience. Book it . That is if...

Went for the taster menu with accompanying wines for birthday. Small restaurant near the castle. Really good experience, food was excellent and the wine was described brilliantly by the waiter who had a story for each one , really lovely night , worth every penny.

Our 5th time here and it keeps gets better (if possible) . We made use of the fantastic value 5 course taster for 2 including overnight stay and breakfast. The food was incredible, yet again our waiter was very friendly and gave great information on...

Really delicious food. I had salted cod paella and then the pork tenderloin, with creme brûlée for pudding. Yum! My husband can’t eat dairy and nothing was too much trouble. Allergens nicely listed on menu but they will adapt. Great service and ambiance. Highly recommend....

We did the overnight deal with meal. Room was very compact with a very small shower room and tiny sink, no where to put your toiletries as a shelf appeared to be missing. We didn’t have the room shown on the website unfortunately. The room...

Went for birthday treat. Food was very good, but prices were excessive. Atmosphere and service also good. Good for once in a while treat.

Stayed overnight in a clean but very compact room. Space would be a problem for a longer stay. Woken at 4.30 by, what we think, was an extremely noisy boiler. Breakfast was delicious!

Don't often write a review but this was great. Taster menu - mostly dishes I wouldn't choose but each was a real delight. Had the wine as well. Again, mostly wines I don't know at all but each suited the dish perfectly. Dessert was a...

Absolutely superb. Meal was exceptional and service/venue understated. Our other holiday meals paled in comparison. Thoroughly recommended.

Visited with friends for 70th birthday treat. Every aspect of the meal was.lovely and the staff were friendly and helpful. Staff were knowledgeable and helpful with regards to menu, one of our staffdidnt eat meat so minor adjustments were ni problem.

We have not been for a long time but what a pleasant surprise. Virtually everything exceptional. From the start this was an exceptional meal from the welcome, layout of the tables (Well spaced, uncluttered, uncrowded. So many restaurants cant resit the temptation to cram in...

So much better than its nearest competitor down the road. The restaurant prides itself on telling a story, from the delightful crockery to the beautifully presented, interesting and faultless dishes. Most diners had the tasting menu which at £44 is amazing value. We went off...

A lunchtime visit disappointed us . Overuse of sugar and salt were the overriding themes . Dishes lacked herbs or flavour apart from excess vinegar in a tomato sauce . The conservatory has air conditioning but the stained ceiling blinds are ineffective on a very...

Really impressed with the 3 course set lunch menu for 22.95 pp. Apart from the melon and mozzarella starter, which was an acquired taste, the rest was absolutely delicious. We went with a family of four and were all thoroughly impressed with the pork/beef and...

Five star dinner with mum at this place. Service attentive, ambience lovely but - best of all - food outstanding. Good menu, locally sourced - in fact they even had wine from a Lincolnshire vineyard (who knew there were vineyards in Lincolnshire) that was very...

We throughly loved the 5 course tasting menu. This was our fourth visit and the best food wise. The mushroom mousse, arrancini, basa and lamb Wellington were amongst the best courses I’ve had. The lovage ice cream was bizarre but in a very good way....

Looked forward to our lunch, everything looked great when we arrived, staff attentive, feat dining area but sadly the food was a disappointment as the lamb lacked taste, it was a little bland as was the vegetables. My wife’s pork was also a letdown....both looked...

We always return to the Old Bakery for a guaranteed evening of fine dining. A lovely welcome, friendly staff, excellent food and a great place to eat. Of course we'll be back again!

The food was very good but the outstanding thing was the friendliness and welcome of the service, it made for a memorable evening.

Haven't been here for a good few years but remember the food being outstanding last time. We went last night and chose the tasting menu with accompanying wines. £68 per person but was worth every penny, 5 courses all served with different wines, they even...

Very friendly welcome in lovely building with a wonderful atmosphere. Great food with great great service and where you can have an unrushed drink before ordering. Not cheap but worth the price.

We had the taster menu with the accompanying wines, this was a good move, they explained each wine to us as they served it and told us why it went with each course. The staff were chatty and friendly, all wearing face shields and were...

Booked a last minute evening away for my partner and I. I called them to check something and the chap kindly told me that if I booked via the website I would get free breakfast! - which was absolutely fantastic, we are vegan and these...

What an absolute little gem of a place. My husband and I took our 5 year old daughter, upon entering I thought it might be a bit posh for children, but they catered for children and were so friendly and welcoming my doubts quickly disappeared....

So my partner found this gem of a restaurant whilst We where on a 3 day stay in Lincoln . It was Walking distance from our accommodation so this added to an amazing night , we both went for the tasting menu - amuse bouche...

Amazing value for money. The five course taster was outstanding as usual with the pasta dish being my personal favourite. The matching wines complimented the food perfectly and our stay was completed by an epic full english. My favourite restaurant and a great experience

The 3 course Sunday lunch menu is excellent value for money. The food is delicious and the service is what you would expect from a high quality establishment such as this. There is also an extensive wine menu to choose from.

I have wanted to visit this restaurant for years and finally got to go. It wasn’t as special as I thought it would be. The restaurant itself is nice and there is a nice atmosphere with good music. We waited quite a while for drinks but the food was quick to come. Our waiter was young and not very confident, perhaps he is new as he seemed a bit nervous but he was pleasant enough. My starter was amazing I chose the aubergine beignets and it was unlike anything i have had before, the flavours were amazing. For main I had chestnut gnocchi to try something different but it was far too creamy and lacked seasoning. My partner had the duck breast starter with bbq marshmallow which was really interesting and fun, for main he had the beef which was nice but a bit over cooked. I would go back to see what interesting flavour combinations they try next, but it was a bit expensive for what it was.

Visited Friday evening with my daughter. Had prebooked the Tasting menu. Without exception everything that passed our lips was a delight and we will be returning. It is obvious that the dishes are created and served with such care and passion. Flavours compliment each other and the overall experience is one of unadulterated pleasure. The restaurant offers a wine matching service but we didn't opt for this.

Lovely high quality food which is presented beautifully. Great choice of wines for every pallet and excellent service.

very expensive for this level of cooking - meat was way too salty - wine not poured from bottle at the table —and served much too quickly - service was ok but ill informed - bread and butter covers was poor and cheaply seasoned - 111 pounds for a glass of wine each and two mains - sadly lacking in the quality which we expected

Visited a couple of years ago when the food was first class. What has gone wrong.. steak too rare, dry Turkey escolapes, poorly cooked veg, tasteless gravy (or should that be jus), only just warm soup, unrecognisable bread butter pud. Ludicrously high prices for mediocre food. Living off former reputation?

Booked a table for Lunch before visiting family in Lincoln. We both chose 2 courses from the a la cate menu but from walking in the door to leaving was a super fast 45 minutes(surprised they allowed us to take our coats off). Also we ordered a glass of Malbec each (£15) but bizarrely the nice glasses on the table were removed and the wine was brought in those naff tulip glasses. Respectfully suggest a discrete message is added to the wine list. “NICE WINE GLASSES WITH EVERY FULL BOTTLE ORDERED.Eagerly anticipated meal but left mildly disappointed. Shame.

Again another really lovely family a la Carte meal Saturday lunch. 6 of us in total and we can all say that every mouthful was exceptional, nothing to complain about from walking in to going home .Warm welcoming staff, relaxing quaint setting, and a lovely wine to boot.Thank you

We stayed and had the special offer of 5 course tasting menu and bed and breakfast. The room was lovely only little but so well put together and had lovely touches such as a cookie on arrival. Water in the rooms, tea and coffee, toiletries. Also an area as you go in with extra tea, coffee milk etc as well as a iron, which we used during our stay. The breakfast was gorgeous and the team were really friendly. The tasting menu was nice and again the staff were really friendly and welcoming. Overall you cannot fault this place and the deal, we had a great time

We had the taster menu with the wine flights and they didn’t disappoint. We had a great experience and Tracy explained in great details about the wines, which were absolutely superb and all were thoroughly enjoyable. The wine flight is highly recommended

Had set lunch with matched wines to celebrate my husband's birthday - totally enjoyed it from beginning to end. Waitress was knowledgeable and attentive; food was beautifully presented and tasted great. Would highly recommend

Have always rated the old bakery but not anymore. They need to stop relying on their past reputation.

Visited to try the Taster Menu on 27.12.19. and we both thought the whole experience was great. Superb food, delicious wines and excellent service from knowledgeable staff in a lovely calm, friendly atmosphere. Not in the least pretentious and very reasonably priced too. Cannot wait to come back.
