  “Wonderful food and service. This is a finishing school for elite final year students and is worth a visit if you’re looking for fine dining. The staff are young, enthusiastic and incredibly welcoming. The food was top notch and great value for money. Meet the hospitality stars of the future while having a wonderful meal in Lincoln.”

  “Firstly, service was excellent. The main course was good although the Pomme Anna should have been a bit more buttery and it was taken as a slice from a larger batch rather than an individual portion. The cheese board. I normally don't …”

  “Perfect quality to price ratio. The room is full functional and very clean. The blackout curtains works well, with little noise even though the window is facing the street. …”

  “This was my second time dining at The Old Bakery. While waiting for our starter we were served two different breads (both freshly baked at the restaurant) with some salted, whipped butter. I had the ham hock croquette to start, it tasted great and contained plenty of ham, although the portion was a bit on the small side for my liking. Although the lamb looked tempting, for main I settled on the roasted king oyster mushroom, and wow was that a good decision. This dish was absolutely delicious. The sauces were packed full of flavour and there were so many different textures. Everything was sat on a very thin coating of what I assume was truffle oil, so as a truffle lover this was a bonus. I finished with the white chocolate and raspberry dessert, which was still very nice, but didn't quite live up to the very high standard set by the main course. Service was very friendly and generally prompt. We were celebrating a birthday and were treated to an unexpected free glass of fizz, which was a nice touch. It took a little longer to get someone's attention to pay the bill then I would've liked, but it didn't really detract from the dining experience given the generally chill vibe and the fact we weren't in a rush to leave.”

  “All I can say is thank you.. an utterly beautifully gorgeous experience..from a fun experience with staff to great recommendations. The food was utterly gorgeous. The place was stunning as was the mushroom dish. Starters of pig cheek, left little to be wanted, perfectly seasoned and exquisitely soft. The desert..... Melt in your mouth chocolate and also a dish so perfectly put together, rhubarb and custard. Perfect cocktails (maybe the best old fashioned). I just want to say thank you..”

  “A crime against food. The food was so bad that we stopped the 5 course tasting menu at the second course. Snacks were initially served, one of them inoffensive the other a putrid piece of salmon that had been smoked to death and had the texture of hard gelatine. First course was meant to be gazpacho served with red mullet. The gazpacho were bits of tomato drenched in vinegar (an insult to every Spaniard on the planet), and the red mullet (I think had been smoked) was so salty that the combination made you wince. Paint stripper would have been less abrasive. We of course complained and were getting worried about what would be served up next. Then the ham hock croquette arrived for the second course... ham hock by it's very nature is salty and flavoursome, however these croquettes were bland and tasteless, albeit fried well and crispy on the outside (one redeeming feature). However, being disappointed with both courses neither were finished (one I couldn't even eat), we decided to put the food and us out of it's misery and stop the whole experience. Following a further complaint and insistence from the restaurant manager that the Chef and Sous Chef were satisfied with the flavour of the food (enough said), we paid for the wine (which was lovely) and left. At £85/person (which we certainly didn't pay) you would expect a much higher standard. Avoid this place at all costs.”
