Lincoln, British, Modern Restaurant Guide

“Very good food – probably the best in Lincoln” is “matched by a lovely location in a historic building on Steep Hill”, dating from 1170. Chef-patron Gavin Aitkenhead, who worked under legendary Germain Schwab at Winteringham Fields before setting up here on his own account in 2006, is behind a “thoughtful, interesting and imaginative tasting menu”, which is “spiced up with fun conversation from the staff”, headed by FOH Samantha Tomkins.
