The Old Bakery Restaurant with Rooms

Lincolns award winning 4 star premier restaurant currently holds 2 AA Rosette Awards, received a Toptable 2008 Gold Award for the second year running and features in the Hardens 2009 guide in the category of 'Commended'. The Old Bakery was listed in the September 2007 edition of the Sunday Times Travel Magazine as one of the Top 100 Finest Places to Stay in England. We also featured during May 2008 in The Guardian as one of only two finest establishments in the Food Category to stay in Lincolnshire.

All rooms have a digital colour TV with Freeview and teletext, BT Broadband wireless internet access, radio alarm, central heating, tea and coffee making facilities, hairdryers and are comfortable and well appointed. Ensuite facilities are available with freshly laundered towels provided daily for all guests. Ironing facilities are available on request.

The Old Bakery Restaurant with rooms is being run as a family concern, with Ivano de Serio, Alan and Lynns son-in-law, running the kitchens, providing top class, international cuisine.

Ivano, trained in the Italian region of Puglia, attending a specialist Chef School for seven years, followed by a number of years gaining a wealth of experience in international high-class restaurants, including a spell on the Princess Cruise Line.

The Old Bakery is ideally situated at the Castle end of Burton Road with car parking outside the restaurant and also close at hand car parks on Westgate and at the Lawn.

Although dining in the restaurant will be a multi-cutural experience, another tradition being imported from Italy is ice cream making. Ivano is particularly keen that all ice cream deserts are made in the restaurant kitchens, to ensure that they are totally free from all chemicals and additives and will be made fresh on the premises every day from raw ingredients.

However, the Old Bakery staff are also keen to establish links much closer to home, and to this end have teamed up with the millers at Ellis Mill off Burton Road, who are providing the Old Bakery with flour ground at the five-sail Mill, using traditional milling methods.

The flour will be used in the daily production of home made bread for diners at the Old Bakery.

Work has now been completed in order to create a fully air conditioned garden under glass at the rear of the premises. This has increased the total covers in the restaurant to approx. 85 and will effectively reduce the waiting list from January 2008.

We aim to offer our customers meals of an excellent quality, without pretension, and cooked to individual requirements. Meals will be cooked on the premises from start to finish and we wish to offer comfortable, relaxing, well furnished restaurant accommodation with the added bonus of a first class service, where customers can meet up with family and friends for everyday dining, as well as more special occasions, such as family celebrations.
