Been to abbys numerous times over the year's but never had the fish and chips until now. Ordered the small portion as I fancied a dessert how wrong was I it was so big that I couldn't finish it. Best fish I have had in a long time needless to say I will have to have the dessert next time, service as usual was excellent.

Abbey's is a lovely place to visit be it for lunch or an evening treat. I booked for our Silver wedding celebration and we were thrilled with how much care and attention we received from the minute we arrived. The table was set up beautifully for us and the staff had really made a fantastic effort in making our evening feel very special indeed. The food was delicious, the service and atmosphere second to none. We will be back again very soon.

Grimsby is now local to us - moved just up the road so this could be our new destination of choice. Very peasant staff understanding & attentive. Beautiful food & exemplary service. A good choice of food & everything well explained. The belly pork was mouth melting as were the scallops & the prawns. Will we return - if they allow! Must return again if only to apologise for my being a silly old fool. We - so I am told will be working our way through the menu over the next few months. People round here seem to be as friendly if not more so than in Yorkshire!

A late lunch on Wednesday for both of us, as usual we always book in advance and had a lovely table in the window (I have limited sight) Liz (owner) took us to our table and asked for out drinks order, my husband had a lime and soda and I have a alcohol free cocktail Princess Orchid (try it it’s yummy) We settled on Slow cooked belly pork with fondant potato mixed green veg and a delicious jus (husband) and I had the Kofta kebab with tazekie dip and pitta bread. Both were great and we would order them again. A very pleasant hour and a half. Thank you very much

Took my husband for lunch on Tuesday and Abby’s didn’t disappoint. The staff were lovely and welcoming, she came over to take our drinks order and left us with menus. My husband had the small fish and chips which he said was really delicious, nice light batter and flaky fish….gorgeous chips well cooked and crispy. I had salmon with new potatoes, green beans and yummy hollandaise sauce…it was beautiful. Abby’s never let you down. Thank you and see you soon

Hubby and I booked for valentines evening. Service was good staff attentive and pleasant. Starter and desserts thoroughly enjoyed although really disappointed with the steaks for main which were tasteless and chewy. I didn’t eat it. I did tell the waitress but no follow up or offer of anything else. Let down the value of the occasion due to the poor quality of the steak. Wouldn’t put me off going again but wouldn’t order the steak next time

We visited to commemorate my Stepfather’s 80th Birthday after he passed away in 2022. He was born in Cleethorpes and as a child looked through the windows of this hotel with his brother saying that one day they would stay here. They both lived to experience staying here, and it is now our privilege to carry on this tradition. The hotel is beautiful, traditional and spotlessly clean. We dined in the restaurant and found the food and service impeccable. We look forward to returning next year…. And every year after.

My husband and I arrived at 1250 to be greeted with “have you booked?” As passing trade but living local we hadn’t realised you had to book and we were informed by a member of staff that they were really popular so tables get booked quickly but she would take a look. We noticed two tables free both seating 4, one in the corner and one set inbetween two other tables. The member of staff informed us that the corner table we had placed our things on was booked at 1:30 but we could have the one set inbetween the other tables and the one where everyone knocked into when passing. I told her we would be done quickly anyway so not to worry. My latte came and I had drunk it before my cake arrived, my husbands’ Americano was very weak but was hot, his cheesecake was tasty all the same and my Victoria sponge equally tasty. Within 15mins a table of 6 was cleared and made available and the table that we originally had chosen was offered as a “choice of where would you like to sit” to customers who had booked. We have eaten in some lovely places and had coffee in some nice settings but have never felt as uncomfortable or unwelcome before. I would say that if passing trade isn’t welcome then put bookings only on your page would be helpful, so customers who feel It would be lovely to drop by and support a local business don’t.
