The Old Bakery Restaurant, nestled away in Lincoln’s Cathedral Quarter is the county’s only not-for-profit restaurant and guest house and offers a truly unique dining experience while showcasing what makes the region special.  
 

Be dazzled by our rustic and charming dining rooms housed within a restored Victorian bakery that simply can’t be matched. Split between intimate dining booths and a light-filled and fresh conservatory, it is truly one of Lincoln’s hidden gems.  
 

Passionate, talented chef Phil Cooke uses the freshest locally sourced ingredients to create truly inventive modern European cuisine, which he hones to great effect on our many themed evenings and seasonal A la carte menu.
 

With no private owner or shareholders, every penny of profit goes back to our colleges in Lincoln and Newark to improve our education and training. 

The Old Bakery acts as part finishing school for our advanced catering and front-of-house students, giving them the industry experience they need to launch their careers on selected nights that we like to call ‘Emerging Chefs’.  
 

Proud to use local suppliers, The Old Bakery offers diners a sense of Lincolnshire through taste and provenance and our tailored menus, quaint afternoon teas and themed event evenings offer something you simply won’t find anywhere else.
