There’s change afoot at one of Lincoln’s dining gems as The Old Bakery undergoes a complete refurbishment.
Director of business development & partnerships at Lincoln College, Mark Taylor, says: “We are really excited to be unveiling a new look for The Old Bakery following this refurbishment. The restaurant is a cornerstone of our employer-led operations here at Lincoln College.”
The transformation will see the currently unused entrance space turned into a bar and lounge area, serving up bar snacks, small plates, craft beers and cocktails for more casual dining. The remodeling will also open up the chef’s room, creating an atmospheric, intimate space.
Mark continues: “A finishing school for our advanced catering and front-of-house students, the restaurant gives them the industry experience they need to launch their careers. We are also proud that it remains the only not-for-profit venue of its kind in the region.
“We hope that our refreshed look and much-needed restoration gives both our loyal customers and new visitors a compelling reason to come along and enjoy our warm surroundings and delicious Lincolnshire-inspired seasonal menu.”
The improvements are funded by a £100,000 portion of the Towns Fund, a government scheme that aims to regenerate towns and deliver long-term economic and productivity growth.
In the meantime, diners wanting to try The Old Bakery’s menu can enjoy a pop-up experience at the Lincoln College campus’ own Sessions Restaurant, with service running from Friday 16th May to Tuesday 10th June.
Mark adds: “We’re so pleased to be able to continue serving our customers down at Sessions. It gives diners the chance not only to continue sampling our bespoke menu, but also a chance to visit our sister restaurant, which is also student-led and is housed in the historic Sessions House, a former city gaol and police station which has bags of character and will be a fitting home for The Old Bakery until we reopen on 21st June.”
Diners who eat at the weekend can currently enjoy 15% off with 25% off for members.
