Despite living in Lincoln, I have only the one experience of the White Hart. My cricket club had it's annual presentation dinner there last year.
Location
Set in the beautiful, historic uphill Bailgate area in the city centre, The White Hart is in the shadow of the magnificent Lincoln Cathedral. This means it is in the upmarket area of the city, meaning that the prices are higher than if it were elsewhere in the city.
Prices
It has to be said that the prices are high. We paid £27 for the ticket and this included a 3 course meal and nothing else. At the bar before I bought a round of drinks (two pints of lager and a large glass of white) and it came to a shade over £10. This, to me is quite expensive.
Food
The food was not the highest quality - indeed for the price we paid it was distinctly below average. The starter was just the standard soup and with no spectacular bread rolls or other garnishings it could easily have just been tinned soup! The main course was delightfully awful. The meat was served on the plate and was cold by the time the vegetables were served. The dessert, although it was okay, could go nowhere near saving the meal.
Service
The service was satisfactory, but when we complained about the lateness of the vegetables they were quite rude.
Overall
I would not recommend the White Hart, it was expensive and poor quality. That said, this was nearly two years ago and things may now have changed. However, I shall not behurrying back!
