The Old Bakery Restaurant

We arrived at 3pm on Friday when check in opened. We were met with 'oh we have no one booked in until Saturday'. Mild panic sat in whilst I found my confirmation email. We were shown to our room and asked to go back down so they could show us the exit out the back. The back was very overgrown and the young lady showing us slipped on the path at the gate. She didn't know the code to the gate so asked for my phone number and she would text me the code and an emergency phone number as we would be the people there that night! No text arrived. I returned to the room where there was no information at all (except the fire route on the door). You normally get a folder with information of the area at least. The window didn't open. I went downstairs to get milk, the WiFi code and asked again for the gate code. There was a man at a table on a computer and he said he was not normally there but helped, getting milk and provided the wifi code that didn't work. I asked about the window and advised it doesn't open and that he would find a fan and bring it. He brought the fan about half hour later and when I asked about the gate code and emergency number he gave me the code and his personal number!The room was nice but there was a noisy mini fridge and every time the tap in the ensuite was turned on there was a loud pump. The ensuite was extremely narrow and looks like it was a converted wardrobe area.On checkout we went downstairs and it looked like the restaurant area had been cleared out with a random scooter inside. A lady came to us and said 'room 2?' Took the key and showed us the way out. No 'hope you enjoyed your stay'!I was very disappointed with our one night stay as expected service from the old bakery bearing in mind the cost of the room that didn't include breakfast. Would not recommend as there is better accommodation in the vicinity.To top it off my phone rang at 4am the next night as someone had managed to get my phone number to ask me for the gate code! Not impressed.

A truly sublime meal, amazing food, great service, would have added photos but it was just too good to wait. Great birthday lunch for my sister

First visit under new ownership: friendly welcome on arrival. Sympathetic refurb. Love eating in the conservatory on a sunny day - rear door opened for fresh air! Delicious lunch and great selection including Gluten Free options. Very quick to clear empty plates - could be left a little longer, but we weren't in a rush and they weren't busy. Will be back soon to try a Sunday lunch. Highly recommended.

Level of service was excellent and attentive, standard of the room wasn't as high. Bed was two mattresses stacked giving a night like being on a waterbed, window was painted shut and could not be opened, a fan was supplied after we pointed this out. The room was spotlessly clean if a little haphazard in its decor and design, all in all it was a little expensive for what was provided.

Sunday lunch, we were served by James who was excellent. He went to lengths to make sure that everyone was comfortable. He could see that my good lady was struggling with the temperature and moved us to a cooler room that was perfect. The food was amazing, a chicken liver parfait was full of flavor. The roast beef was melt in the mouth and packed full of interesting tastes and we all finished with a beautiful egg custard tarts. Highly recommended, the whole team from welcoming on arrival, creating beautiful food to saying goodbye, we will definitely be back.

This could so easily be a five star venue. It's just lacking a slightly better drinks offering and perhaps the deserts let it down a little. But the venue is pleasant and the staff were both pleasant and attentive. The starters and mains were both excellent. A disappointment with the cheese board was to just get a very run of the mill selection of cheeses rather than celebrating some of Lincolnshire's finest.

We recently held our wedding reception at the Old Bakery and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything went. Faye went above and beyond to help us plan the reception and nothing was too much trouble for her. This meant we could enjoy the celebrations on the day without having to worry about the little things. Poppy and the rest of the staff also did a brilliant job; they were all friendly, polite and helpful. All of the food was incredibly tasty and was just what we wanted for our wedding meal; the Jacob’s Ladder was a particular favourite! The restaurant itself was a great setting for the reception; the columns and exposed brickwork in the conservatory dining room means we’ve got lots of really beautiful photos. Massive thank you to everyone there!

Would definitely recommend the tasting menu. Absolutely fantastic service and the chef seemed very invested in giving us the best experience. The venue was lovely too, relaxed yet cozy. Overall, the perfect choice for celebrating our special occasion and would definitely visit again.
