Dress Code

We do occasionally receive a small amount of flak for allowing people dressed in a scruffy manner into the restaurant for dinner and Sunday lunch. We have, since 2008 never had an official dress code. Whilst the majority of our guests do like to dress up for dining at Washingborough Hall we don’t feel it necessary to impose a formal rule governing this. Society is changing and as such we need to move with the times. A number of guests arrive at Washingborough Hall for the first time feeling embarrassingly underdressed – that is neither their fault nor ours so why should we compound the issue by causing more distress?

We once enjoyed a delightful Afternoon Tea at The Ritz in London – I knew I had to wear a jacket and trousers from a visit some years ago but I had failed to bring a tie – this was no problem as the men’s locker room offered a choice from dozens of ties to make up for my error.

We don’t intend on going down this route at Washingborough Hall just yet, but we do ask that our dining guests do ‘dress up’ when visiting. We aim to be traditional in our values and offer an experience which is special and memorable.

Guest Reviews Fabulous!!

We were fortunate enough to attend a party at Washingborough Hall recently, and yet again we were blown away by the beautiful setting and impeccable service. It was a lovely evening and we enjoyed delicious canapés outside before a wonderful meal in the dining room. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who always had smiles on their faces.

Guest Reviews A perfect wedding venue.

Washy Hall and the fabulous staff provided myself and my partner with the perfect wedding day. They were so thorough and went above and beyond to ensure we had the most magical day. Lucy is so talented at what she does and Jonathan set up the dining hall beautifully.

We had a really delicious breakfast in the morning, the poached egg was cooked to perfection and had the best sausages. They had a really good selection of foods so everyone can find their favourite.

Guest Reviews excellent restaurant

Enjoyed dinner in the restaurant - the best meal of our short break (mains were very tender venison and vegetables cooked to perfection). Breakfast was freshly cooked with high quality ingredients - loved the sausage.

Guest Reviews The perfect venue

Lucy and her team were outstanding, ensuring the day ran smoothly from start to finish. Nothing was an issue, and were all on hand to help with any request, big or small. Special mention to Jordan, whose service was exceptional and ran the day.

The food was incredible—restaurant-standard—and received rave reviews from our guests. In fact, many guests said it was the best wedding breakfast they had ever had!

Guest Reviews Autumn's here......wellingtons on the menu!

Aside the fabulous staff, the great room and night's sleep, and the wonderful ambiance throughout the hotel, I'd like to lord praise here on the restaurant staff both kitchen and front-of-house. The menu is dizzy with choice, but I settled on the Stilton soufflé, and for main the venison wellington. Both were utterly dazzling.....my compliments to the chef, and the waiting staff who looked after me so well.

Guest Reviews Beautiful Hotel

The staff were all really polite, friendly and helpful - nothing seemed to be too much trouble.
We live in Lincolnshire and didn’t even know this place existed. We were gifted a voucher for our stay here by our children and they couldn’t have chosen better!
Now we just need to find an excuse to visit again!

Guest Reviews The place to relax

All of the staff were professional, friendly and helpful, they really cared and looked as they enjoyed there work. Our room was spotlessly clean with its own outside entrance, large and very comfortable. The food was absolutely delicious and cooked and severed to perfection. It was lovely to see venison wellington on the menu which was exceptional.

Guest Reviews Best wedding ever

We had our wedding day at Washingborough Hall this weekend. Jonathan and the team could not have done anymore for us. It was a truly magical day, the venue looked beautiful, the food was to die for and most of the guests commented on that, and the day flowed just beautifully. Nothing was too much trouble. If I could do it all again, I would. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Lovely place to stay for a family reunion. Very comfortable, very good food and great staff. Very reasonably priced for the quality of the stay. Lovely grounds, a quiet location with a nice walk down by the river. Close to Lincoln and all its tourist attractions.

Guest Reviews Really great one night stay at this unique country hotel

My husband & I recently stayed for one night at Washingborough Hall for dinner, bed & breakfast.We stayed in the Ingleby Suite - which is absolutely gorgeous room with lovely views across the front lawns of this hotel. The en suite bathroom is large and has a great roll top bath & walk in shower. Our evening meal was really tasty and used some local produce. Breakfast, again, was really plentiful and served in the cosy bar area as there weren't many guests staying. The staff are cour... Read more

Guest Reviews Great Wedding Venue

The Washingborough Hall Hotel Team and Lucy made sure that all our guests, family, and friends were well looked after. The team took care of every detail on the wedding, table plans, wedding favours and souvenirs we got for our guests. Lucy helped me from start to finish of the wedding, she gave me recommendations on the flowers and wedding cake. She greeted my parents the night before the wedding and took care of my bouquet when I left it in my room after the photoshoots with the guests. If any... Read more
