THE OLD BAKERY
After the Ghost Walk I could honestly say I needed a good "pee and a sandwich" myself. A great place for dinner is The Old Bakery. This small, award-winning eatery just a few blocks from the hotel was a favorite of the film's stars (they all signed a copy of the Da Vinci Code book, which will be auctioned for charity at the time of the film's release). The chef/co-owner is Italian, but you won�t find a lot of pasta on the menu. Just good ol� Mediterranean and local dishes like roast "Lincoln Red" sirloin of beef with Yorkshire pudding and gravy. They also have a variety of addictive homemade breads. The Old Bakery, 26/28 Burton Road, Lincoln; tel.: 1522-576057 (outside UK 44-1522-576057).

EPERNAY
I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was in Lincoln -- all of England, in fact. Everyone used to say that English food was bad, but that�s not the case anymore. A perfect example is Epernay. This seafood restaurant was so good that Ron Howard raved about it to Tom Hanks. The following night Tom and his family dined there. If you�re a landlubber like me, don�t worry; they serve more than seafood. And save room for dessert, because the sticky pudding is ridiculously delicious. Epernay, St Paul�s Street, Bailgate, Lincoln; tel.: 1522- 569284 (outside UK 44-1522-569284).

BROWNS PIE SHOP
Browns Pie Shop is a stone�s throw from the White Hart. Though called by many "the best restaurant in Lincoln," it is not overpriced. It�s small though, so make a reservation. Browns Restaurant & Pie Shop, 33 Steep Hill, Lincoln; tel.: 1522-527330 (outside UK 44-1522-527330). For more click HERE.
