For a set price you get coffee or tea with the all you can eat buffet breakfast bar. We were the first in, so I was actually impressed with the quality of items: eggs, hash browns, tomato's, beans, sausages, bacon, real mushrooms! Toast, home fries with bacon, onion and cheese, and also some kind of breakfast Yorkshire pudding with gravy- which regretfully I did not try! Next time tho! The place is large, nicely decorated and clean bathrooms! Staff were polite and there was a nice ambience about the place. I will be visiting again!

This has definitely been my best culinary experience during my entire stay in Lincoln…read more.. "The Old Bakery" caught my eye on my first day when I was casually strolling through Lincoln; I was determined to give it a try - not only because of all the dining award stickers on the outside, but also, by the rustic and quaint interior. No sooner thought than done, myself and a couple of friends came here for dinner and let me tell you about our epicurean journey: Two of us had the "Peter Lundgren", which is a slowly roasted deboned pork 'chop'... it was embedded on a cushion of cinnamon-spiced cabbage and served along with tasty young potatoes. The meat was delicious and it was so soft that it fell apart in my mouth...and it was where a hint of fennel seeds unfolded its magic. For dessert, I had the pistacchio creme brulee, which also was fantastic - I felt like I was eating rich pistacchio gelato in an Italian town, only that it was covered with a crust of delicious caramelized sugar. On top of these two fabulous dishes, we also indulged in a series of freebies: home-made bread, amuse bouches, pre-dessert amuse bouches and even a post-dessert chocolate treat served along with the bill! However, I also do have to agree with the previous writer - Phil C. - that there is quite a gap between the quality of the food and the quality of the service. In fact, I was really quite disappointed by the service as it was in such stark contrast with the food: how can the food be so delicious, but the people serving it so non-compassionate and un-enthusiastic about their food? I don't expect an expert-waiter to tell me everything about the food, but I would appreciate someone who is in tune with the guests and can attend to their wishes... Anyway, I still recommend you come here...in fact, I would propose to make a visit during lunch time as they have some nice specials that are much more reasonably priced. Having said that, the food here is not cheap...but I was more than willing to pay the extra price, especially after all the other average and mediocre experiences over the past few days: in other words, I have truly enjoyed my visit to "The Old Bakery".

Food is of a very high standard and cooked by an Italian chef. The restaurant is very popular and can be booked up for a month or so in advance. They have won many awards by the normal awarding bodies like the AA and enjoy England. They have their fingers crossed to get a Michelin rating in January. Rooms are available and quite reasonably priced. The owner is always wandering around and keen to chat with customers.

One of them was inviting breastfeeding women inside (great advertisement for pervs), but when I stepped inside there wasn't one private place for the mums to do this without being fully on show (definitely great for the pervs). It was empty on my arrival, apart from one couple, so it was easy for me to get seated. After I ordered a full breakfast I sat down and tried to take it all in. My illusions of a quaint little place were quickly squashed as I took it all in. The floors were filthy, walls scratched and marked, the windows and glass door were smeared in greasy finger marks, and the tables had crumbs and spill ages on them. I'd been sat 45 minutes and these hadn't been cleaned, no other customers apart from me so the two staff were not rushed off their feet. When my breakfast arrived it was smaller than I imagined, I'd paid £6.95 for 2 small sausages, 2 slices of bacon, 1 egg, 2 plum tomatoes, mushrooms, and 2 slices of toast. Notices everywhere mention the home cooked bread, which I was really looking forward to trying, but when I took a bite, the crusts almost broke my teeth! The bread was really heavy and doughy, not light and fluffy so I was really disappointed. The breakfast itself was ok but not something you would recommend. Not sure if the owner is on commission for selling confectionary, but it's a child's dream as sweets are everywhere! The staff were lovely though, so can't fault them, but this is one place I will not be returning to unless it gets cleaned up.
