We arrived with our confirmation email from the owner who spent 5 mins looking confussed and saying he had no such booking. We were offered a twin with the beds pushed together. After seeing this we felt it best not to stay. The owner seemed pleased by this as he kept saying you dont have to stop. This was a... More

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

We had a number of recommendations for the Old Bakery and having finally visited it ourselves have to agree. It's a real gem - exquisite food, knowledgeable, friendly and professional service (ie just the right amount of attention). Rooms not luxurious, but more than adequate, as we went for the dining experience and for a bit of sightseeing in Lincoln,... More

I dont know what planet some of the previous reviewers are on or what place they stayed but it certainly wasnt the Old Bakery at Lincoln. I stayed there with my wife last week for one night and a meal in the evening, the room was certainly OK with everything we required. It was en-suite, overlooked the road out front... More

Went to the Old Bakery as a 20th Anniversary treat knowing it was "supposedly" the best place to dine in Lincolnshire. Tings started off well with courteous waiting staff and starters and wine excellent. However, a sirloin steak arrived for me which was ordere Med/rare came like it was an off cut of a shoe repairer. This went back to... More

Just had a disappointing experience at The Old Bakery. Lincoln. We went for our anniversary and although most of the food was good (which it should be for the price and rosettes) We did have an issue with my husbands fillet and it was ignored and when the owner came to collect payment. We mentioned it again to him and... More

I was surprised at how "inaccurate" the service was. As we entered, someone was been given the wrong dish and this happened to us twice during the meal. We also had to remind the staff that we had asked for some water and having asked for the bill at the end, within two minutes someone else asked if we wanted... More

I phoned the Old Bakery to try to book a table for 5 and couldn't believe the attitude of the proprietor Alan. He made it quite clear that my daughter (7) was not welcome and said imperiously that they couldn't accommodate us at 6pm because they had "32 covers arriving". Trying to work around the times he was very "can't... More
