Sessions - Menu

Fabulous food and great cocktails at rock bottom prices. Run by the students this restaurant has fabulous food at a fraction of what you'll pay elsewhere. We had a superb 3 course meal for £12.50 and freshly shaken cocktails (whatever we fancied) at 2 for £8. Great location and decor you are eating in old prison cells. Go eat

An excellent Christmas lunch prepared and served by the catering students. We had the salmon for starters, followed by the sea bass, and the sauce for the bass was exceptional. Vegetables were beautifully cooked, al dente. My Christmas pud was great and my wife raves about her poached pear. The new manager on the floor seems to be effective as the coaching of the wait staff was great to see. We have an obligation to support this restaurant they’re young people hoping to get into the hospitality industry and we have to give them opportunities to practice. Tremendous value for money, as always.

I was completely impressed by the quality of the food at this restaurant! The dishes are crafted by some young individuals who are just starting their careers in the food and hospitality industry. The restaurant is located in the old city court building. I can't think of anything to improve upon - I wish I could cook at this level and I'm 60 years old! Congratulations to the staff for their hard work, and thank you to Mrs. Shannon for the quick tour. Overall, it was fantastic - at £18 for a 4-course meal, it's the best value in Lincoln. Plus, you also get a couple of chef's specials included in the meal.

We enjoyed another three course lunch at Sessions. We began with a cocktail each, a Negroni and a Espresso Martini, both of which we excellent. The starter we chose, a mousse from Lincolnshire blue cheese was the dish of the day for me. The sharpness of the blue was at exactly the right level. My wife chose the Masala mackerel for mains while I opted for the boeuf bourguignon. The dish was rich, with succulent pieces of beef and a delicious red wine sauce. We both had apple and blackcurrant crumble for dessert. Portion sizes were perfect and the students worked hard at getting their heads around everything. Well done to Josh for great service to us. Two 3 course meals and two cocktails, £35.

I heard about this whilst on a trip to Lincoln. I booked to avoid disappointment, as the window for opportunity was small. I was greeted by friendly students, who showed me to my table. I was given the menu, which had a good choice of food, offered cocktails £5 each or 2 for £8), which were made at my table and a choice of wines. The food was hot and produced to a high quality, and well presented, the price was unbelievable, 2 courses £9.50 or 3 for £12.50), the staff were faultless. The team leader Andy was friendly, knowledgeable and explained what the students were learning, and was there overseeing everything. I can't praise enough, if you are in Lincoln this is well worth a visit, I wil...

Another top notch performance by the Sessions team, coolly steered by tutor Andrew Brooks. If the students don't realise it now, they will in a few years, that they have one of the best and most knowledgeable tutors for many a mile. I began with the slow cooked egg while my wife opted for the carrot and coriander soup. The slow cooked egg was atop my favourite starter, a crispy slice of black pudding. Beautiful. For mains, I chose the Steak Diane while my wife chose the Lincolnshire Poacher soufflé. My Steak Diane was cooked perfectly by a 2nd year student and she did a fine job it was the best SD I've ever had. The sauce was spot on. We finished with the chocolate fondant and again, these w...

Our first meal out after lockdown was at Sessions, a restaurant housed in a former jail, which seemed fitting. It was wonderful to be back dining out, the food was exceptional as always, and we were attended to by young, enthusiastic staff who were learning the ropes of the hospitality industry. The rarebit starter was cooked to perfection, my wife raved about her hake, and I was particularly impressed by the creative combination of pork belly and pork cheek. The chef deserves kudos for such an innovative dish. My wife adored her passion fruit dessert, while I enjoyed my chocolate torte (although I regretted not choosing the passion fruit myself). The wine pairings were spot on and my Old Fa...

We made a reservation to ensure we had a table at The Sessions Restaurant in Lincoln. The students working there were new, and we felt it was important to support them in their learning experience. We were greeted warmly upon arrival and seated at our table. The menu looked fantastic, and we ordered drinks - one person opted for red wine while the others chose water. The students were all friendly and efficient. We enjoyed the special chicken soup and pulled pork for starters, which were delicious. The mains, including fish of the day, pork, and chicken in breadcrumbs, were all flavorful and well-prepared. The desserts, including banana and rich chocolate, were also a hit. The portions were...

Sessions is run by Lincoln College allowing catering and hospitality students the chance to run a high standard restaurant service for members of the public. Really enjoyed the imaginative Puerto Rico themed tasting menu. All the flavours worked well together and the food was superbly presented, and we were served by a very friendly and helpful waiter. Definitely recommend. DE MALLORCA: A Sweet bread accompanied by chilli butter and salted butter. FRIED PLANTAIN WITH MOJO DE AJO AND PIQUE: Fried Banana (not plantain), with a garlic dipping and hot sauce. COCONUT SEAFOOD STEW: Inspired by my love for the sea, a coconut stew containing cod, crab, plaice and shrimp. REFRESHING MOJITO SORBET: A...
