  “Very quiet when we went. Carvery had limited vegetables on offer but was lovely. Food direct from kitchen was beautiful. Dog friendly. Indoor play area is quite small but there is a big one outside. We had a 40% off voucher which made 3ad 2ch including drinks around £45.”

  “Very warm and friendly staff from the greeter who also served us, the chef who brought out our food and kept us updated to the young lady who helped serve us at our table they were all so happy and smiley with lovely friendly tones of voice, they were so welcoming. They were so accommodating, I have gallstones and have to eat a low fat diet while I wait for gallbladder removal and they never made me feel awkward or like I was asking to much to facilitate this, they made me a jacket potato/ no butter with beans and a grilled chicken breast even thought the jacket potato was supposed to stop being served at 3pm and we got there at 5:30pm. I really appreciate that they accommodated this for me. The restaurant and the toilet facilities were very clean and well presented. We were advised on arrival that we would have a 45min to 1hour wait for food ordered from the kitchen but even though we were a large party of 19 we were all served much quicker than this and everyone was happy with their food. Thank you for looking after us so well, we would definitely recommend and will visit again next time we holiday in cleethorpes.”

  “Booked online as fancied a meal instead of fish and chips after our day in Cleethorpes. Opted for carvery. It was supposed to be freshly cooked. Where shall I start. The Yorkshire puddings were flat, roast potatoes were a mixture of freshly cooked and reheated, carrots were nearly a mush, gravy like water. The guy who carved the meat must have the world record for the thinnest slicing and small portion ever. My plate had a chip in it. This has to be the worst carvery I've ever had. Only thing I can say about this place is the Manager was pleasant and polite. Having worked in this kind of hospitality myself I think the staff need retraining or replaced. I didn't bring it up with the manager as couldn't be bothered after no one checking if our meals were OK and wanted to get home and thought I'd leave an honest review. Wouldn't go back.”

  “Took my three children, we had a pasta for a child and two small carvery’s and a large. Unfortunately it’s been a while since we visited which used to be good, now to say it’s definitely not up to standard anymore is probably kind. Staff once more were brilliant but firstly premises looks dated, unkept, paint off walls in places. Even many of the chairs look to be on their last legs. Now the food and this is hard as it used to be a good carvery but this time not even two out of ten. My children couldn’t even bite the Yorkshire pudding, knife’s that blunt they wouldn’t cut it.. stuffing more like a rubber ball. Rest of the food can’t even say average as it just wasn’t. Only good part the mash potato. I hope they can pull it back around, firstly the brewery needs to come and take a look and throw some money into the place. Take a look at its sister pub up the road, The pear tree and you can see the difference. 6pm and probably less than 20 people in and we are four of that number. Such a shame, staff need help from the powers above.”

  “The carvery has improved in the last few months. There is a better range of vegetables, roast potatoes and mash were tasty. Meat was of a better quality as well. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I will definitely return”

  “Okay, i spent £22 for the scampi meal with a side of onion ring and a drink. safe to say i wasnt happy it looked like a kids portion for the £14.95 i paid for it. the scampi literally tasted like it was airfried, and the lemon that was just chucked on top has 6 seeds in it?? The pigs in blankets that my friend had to wait 20 minutes for came out burnt to a crisp so much so you could scrape it off, but the staff were lovely.”

  “Awful food, rude staff. Avoid We went to the trawlerman on14/0/26 at 6pm there was me and my elderly disabled mother. We used to come here regularly but it went downhill a few years ago and we found an alternative that we love and well worth the travel. Unfortunately it's closed for refurbishment at the moment so we tried here again HUGE MISTAKE. On arrival, my mum nearly tripped over 2 dogs that were not under control. We then had to clear our own table due to her not being able to walk far and all other tables nearby and on level access were taken or needed clearing. I ordered and we went to the carvery. Well what a disgrace of a carvery it was. The gammon was mostly fat, there was no turkey and the beef looked a funny colour, was tough and like rubber and had a very funny taste. There were people in front and behind us complaining about the carvery mainly the meat who asked for something off menu and about the toasties which were soggy and literally sat in grease. The only decent thing was the mash, carrots and stuffing. The peas were dry,as was the kale and leek, the cauliflower cheese was mostly stalk and was hard, the Yorkshire puddings were very greasy and left grease and a funny taste in the mouth and the meat was disgusting. The roasties were soggy and just sat in grease. The people in front of us have their plates back. We asked to speak to a manger and someone who I believe is called Elsbeth came. She was very rude and just continually said the beef was cooked how they are supposed to cook it and did not comment on anything else except we were the only one to complain. She took the plates which still has quite a lot of food on them and said she would ask the kitchen if there had been any more implants before returning saying no one else had complained, which was a lie. I told her about the others who complained in front and behind us but she was not interested. The only thing offered was a desert on the house which, with being diabetic, we could not accept anyway. There was no offer of any replacement savoury food despite almost all of the meat being left and a lot of the veg. She made us feel as though we were lying and making it up for free food. When you pay for a meal you at least expect it to be edible. My mum has been a cook in different places including holiday resorts and has never seen cooked beef that colour! Elsbeth then went to the manager who was behind the bar and as she was talking to him kept looking at us and rolling her eyes. The beef was that bad I would not have even taken it home for our dogs. I should have suspected something given the amount of food going back on people's plates..”

  “no steak on steak night we came tonight as a family of 7, we got seated and ordered £40 worth of drinks and we were not told that they had alot of food on the menu unavailable we went upto the bar to order and got told it would be a 40 minute wait for food even though it was dead inside and was then told they had no steak or grilled food and no meat which they should of told us when they seated us we proceeded to order other things the children’s carvery was cold and most of the food was hard and not edible we ordered burgers with bacon and you could bang the bacon on the plate it was that burnt. As we ate nobody came over to ask us if everything was okay with the food. As we were leaving we told them that the food was not very nice and all they could say was sorry i would avoid much nicer places to eat.”

  “Been here a couple of times before for the Sunday carvery and it’s always been decent enough, but today was an absolute joke. There were hardly any vegetables available and what was there was awful. The garden peas looked like they’d been microwaved to death hard like bullets with burnt skins and the carrots were dry, burnt and shrivelled. The whole meal was cold, the stuffing was rock solid, and the roast potatoes were pale and anaemic. When moving over to the gravy and sauces section, one gravy pot was completely empty and the other was basically brown water. Every sauce dish was empty too, and it took around 10 minutes before anything was refilled. Multiple people around us were complaining and leaving food behind, which says it all really. I mentioned it to staff who didn’t seem remotely bothered. I was just told “okay, we’ll temp check the food” and never heard another word. Safe to say we won’t be returning. Would genuinely rather have gone Tesco for a meal deal.”

  “Absolutely the worst meal we have experienced, Just like under an hour to receive our food. When the food finally arrived, ( chicken feast platter ) the wings were totally inedible. So sad.”
