The Refectory in Lincoln

Went with friends , we were all so dissapointed , the food was cold , only one veg which was cauliflower which I don't like , all I had was 2 tiny slices of pork and roast potatoes , I was still hungry when id finished so were my friends so we went off to another place for a hot pudding , never again , disgusting food

Went in there at a busy lunchtime. No tables available for 30 mins. Staff seemed very disorganized, with everyone running here and there. Customers were supposed to wait at the door until called, but this was was abandoned by the staff. We eventually got a table and were given a menu. Waitress said she would give us a few minutes to decide what we wanted, but never came back for 15 mins. She informed us the hot meals would be subject to a 40 min delay, so we ordered scones. A few moments later a waiter arrived and requested we paid for what we had ordered, but still no food. After another 20 minutes they told us they had no fruit scones but we could have plain ones. Fine. Another 10 minutes before said scones arrived. Mine was almost burnt around the edges and very hard. In all, this meal took 75mins from start to finish.

A very large spacious area. Food options very good. Staff very good. Large tables available for groups.

Como parte de nuestra reserva en el campus desayunamos aquí y el personal era muy servicial y servicial. El estándar de la comida era excelente

Nos alojamos en Longdale's House be & be en el campus de la universidad y el desayuno se sirve aquí. Es estilo buffet y puede tener casi todo lo que desee. Buena selección de artículos: tocino, salchichas, frijoles, papas fritas, champiñones, pudín negro, huevo frito y tostadas blancas / marrones. Toda la comida estaba caliente y servida por un personal amable. ¡Sin quejas!

I regularly eat at the Refectory, the hot food is lovely. However, I recently went to the refectory at 2: 30-2:45 to grab something hot to eat (after reading online that they are open till 5:30 and '...Refectory Kitchen, where you can find delicious hot food throughout the day – from full English breakfasts in the morning to freshly cooked main meals in the afternoon'. (Taken from the Bishop Grosseteste Website). When I arrived, the refectory hot service table had food on it, however the lights were not on, I asked a woman behind the counter if they were still serving food, to which she replied no. I looked at the Starbucks counter to see there was only a few paninis left to purchase and decided I wouldn't bother. The refectory is usually one of my favourite spots to each, however, after this I don't know if I can trust the information on the website.

Stayed at Longdales House in the University grounds, and the breakfast was served at the refectory, really good service, and good quality food. It must be good the local Police seem to use it for there own breakfast service. would recommend using it if staying at Longdales.

I ate breakfast here while staying at Longdales House B&B and was very impressed. It is a modern building that caters for the University staff and students as well as the B&B. It was modern and well decorated with mainly long wooden tables. There was a good choice of food including a choice of cereals, yoghurt and hot food. I was pleased to see they had veggie sausages which were served away from the meat options, as well as hash browns, tomato (halved & tinned), beans, mushrooms, fried egg, bacon, black pudding & sausages. The portions were good and toast was cooked to order. There was a choice of different teas, coffee as well as other hot or cold drinks. A great way to start the day!

Went here for Breakfast after staying at Longsdale House B&B. Staff friendly and food fresh. Have soya milk if asked for. Didn't see any Vegan options.

Food is lovely but highly priced. The restaurant interior is very modern and nice but the place is a mess. Plates all over on every table and rubbish on the floor. I come here every Saturday due to my son at drama here and its always the same. A little off putting.

The cafe is spacious, plenty of tables and seating. Staff are lovely, but on our visit I think they may have been understaffed? There was empty plates, cups, rubbish on every table. The counter was sticky, I'm sure the till staff could have ran a cloth over it in between serving customers. I only had a coffee, I wouldn't want to eat there.

Our daughter studies at Bishop Grosseteste University. Although this restaurant is on the campus it is open to the general public. We have had several Sunday lunches when visiting and the meals have been lovely. Not only do you have a great choice of meats, vegetables etc for the main course, but also a great variety of desserts. Great value for money which is perfect for students! We have also on several occasions come for coffee and cake and these have been equally good. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Although the restaurant is a bit 'canteen' like in layout this should not put you off trying out this little gem.

We used The Refectory while staying at Longdales House B&B. Excellent breakfast, plenty to choose from, really friendly staff. On the grounds of the University Campus, but open to the general public. Would highly recommend this as a place to eat.

Visited for breakfast and lunch on a couple of days. The food was hot, well presented and a great choice. Just what we needed at breakfast time, and really good soup at lunchtime. Very friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. A very good venue in uphill Lincoln.

Canteen style with two service areas one serving hot meals breakfast till 11 am then lunch from 12 noon. The seating is in long table or more casual but uncomfortable seating areas (near door so can be drafts). Air conditioned so on a hot day it is nice. There is no background music so things can get noisy especially at busy periods. The design is obviously for students on campus, gym members and visitors to the campus. So if you visit during term time expect parking to be difficult. We had a lovely breakfast and cups of tea although they had to be purchased at different counters! Very pleasant

Although this is primarily a facility for students it is very well decorated and equipped and is staffed by staff who provide a professional and friendly service.

Este era un buen lugar para una familia grande. Comida deliciosa y un servicio amable a precios razonables - ¿qué más se puede pedir?

The Refectory is on the campus of Bishop Grosseteste University, where our daughter is studying, so we met her here for Sunday lunch. It was a really nice lunch, meat and veg etc, tasty, warming and filling. Glad that there is somewhere close where she can get a decent meal, and we are looking forward to eating there again.

We stayed at Longdales House for B&B and so had free breakfast in here. Outside term time it was very quiet and the refectory staff were very friendly and helpful.

Breakfast are excellent as was the service and the cleanliness. The refectory is adjacent to the bed and breakfast house and close to other university utilities.

My partner and I wanted a night out but not at the rip off prices of local restaurants for Valentine's Day. The Refectory, which is quite large, had been sectioned off with the tables laid specifically for the Day, each with a rose. We had a really good meal with wine and felt, as this was the first time this had been tried (I think) they did very well for a great price with very pleasant staff..I hope they do it next year and advertise it a little more!

Very Good food at a great price, a superb breakfast when staying at the B&B. very helpful and attentive staff

We had breakfast here while staying in the guest house on campus during the Christmas market. Brilliant selection of hot and cold food and snacks. Our breakfast was included in the cost of the accommodation but the prices are more than reasonable - cooked breakfasts from £3/4! Coffee was nice too and there was a good selection of juices and soft drinks etc. Seating is plentiful, modern and comfortable and the staff were really nice, we were told we could have as much tea/coffee and toast as we wanted too!

Visiting a friend who lived nearby we went to the campus Refectory for morning coffee. Excellent capucinno and latte selection of lovely cakes snack and biscuits. Pleasant modern surrounding looking out onto the grass. Customers a mix of locals, mums with babies and students . Comfortable seating and good solid high chair, sofa area with a book swop library all in all a pleasant experience and very good value.
