just eaten here as a birthday treat. the food was excellent on the whole. 2 of us had halibut - delicious. i'm a veggie and wanted a hot starter, but not soup. there were plenty on the lunch menu, but I couldn't have these. opted for the soup, which was lovely, if luke-warm. actually we all enjoyed the food, but...

I was staying in Lincoln for the night for a friend's wedding, sharing a twin room (£60) at The Old Bakery with a friend. I had previously contacted the hotel to find out about parking as I am aware there are parking restrcitions in the area. I hadn't brought enough change for the carpark at the end of the street...

I ate here with a friend after deciding to go to Lincoln and having investigated where to eat. I am a bistro rather than posh restaurant man but enjoy excellent food with a good ambiance and service. We had the set menu, we agreed with the waitress that we could have a a single cheese rather than desert, and so... More

Our room was quirky but a bit small. The owners were nice and friendly. Average breakfast but superb food in the restaurant. More

This was our second stay, having stayed in 2010. Back then the service wasn't great but we could forgive that as the rooms were okay and the breakfast was nice.

Several months ago we read a newspaper review for The Old Bakery and we have wanted to try it ever since. I have to say we were very disappointed. As per the last on line post, we too booked directly from the web site. Initially I called to book for dinner but there was no answer. I then sent a... More

I would love to be able to write a lengthy and glowing review but sadly having booked directly on The Old Bakehouse website the night before, we were asked to confirm our name twice by a bemused staff member. They had no reservation for us despite us having received a confirmatory email. When the chef arrived at reception, he was... More

I have been to the Old Bakery several times and the food is 5* quality - absolutely superb. The attention to detail is profound: even the bread is homemade, and you can guarantee that everything will be top quality. It's not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for and Sunday lunch - £17.50 for three courses - is... More
