My husband and I were visiting Kirmington to follow in his grandfather's footsteps. Bernard Frank Steel used to fly Lancasters for bomber command squadron 166 and was based at Kirmington airfield in WW2. We enjoyed a lovely meal at the Marrowbone and cleaver, the pub where Bernard used to drink during the war. The staff were so polite and friendly, food amazing and huge plus there is lots of WW2 memorabilia around the pub, which is owned by motorbike and adrenaline TV personality, Guy Martin. If you are in the area, this pub serving hearty English grub is a must! Julie & Graham Steel

We’ve been wanting to visit the Marrowbone and Cleaver for quite sometime now but it’s quite a distance from where we live. So when we found ourselves driving almost passed today heading to Mablethorpe it seemed like the perfect excuse to call in. I can genuinely say it was even better than we were expecting, amazing place, fantastic food and the service was second to non, Sal even made our Border Collie Sky feel at home. Thank you so much for a great lunch, we will definitely be back

I have been to this pub for a meal many times and never been disappointed. Personally prefer the standard menu to the Sunday options but I LOVE this place. The home cooked food is amazing. You know the food is freshly cooked as does take longer to arrive to your table then standard pub meals but who cares when it’s freshly cooked! The staff are so friendly and nothing is ever too much. The beer / wine option is really good ... What more could you want

My husband surprised me with a drive out to Kirmington and a wonderful meal at the Marrowbone and Cleaver last Friday evening , neither of us had been here before so we wondered what it was going to be like.It was fairly busy but we had a table booked so we were taken to it and asked what we would like to drink?...(also told to stay at the table except for going to the ladies or gents) Staff were really lovely. We had pate to start with which was really nice and we both had ordered the steak & ale pie with suet crust , mine with mash and my husband with chips and veg. Oh my goodness if you ever go and you don’t have a big appetite ask for a small pie ok . I only found that out afterwards.We couldn’t manage puddings but we will be going back that’s for sure.

My wife and I had our first visit last week on the recommendation of a colleague. We both had the pate starter, followed by steak n ale pie ....leaving space for dessert!We were over enthusiastic as we never got as far a a dessert. Pate was ok but my god the pie and it’s accompanying veg were amazing. I have never had a pie with so much meat and a traditional suet pastry. To be honest I was defeated by the size of the portion but there was no way I was leaving any pie! We never got as far as a dessert.Friendly and efficient staff...nothing was too much trouble.Great decor...a celebration of the wartime airport and with an eclectic selection of Guy Martin memorabiliaWe will be visiting again ...next time main and dessert.

Visited the MB & C on the recommendation of a friend. Bit tricky to find if not using satnav (we came on bikes). First thing to note it is more WW2 bomber themed than Guy Martin bikes. Follows guys interest in all things mechanical and WW2 (he’s got a merlin engine I believe). In one corner there’s a gixxer with some pictures from Guys career.The main dining room is WW2 RAF themed as there was probably a bomber base near by. Seemed busy on Sunday lunchtime. Food arrived quickly. There was an issue with the bill on my order but this was resolved quickly by management of the pub.

I went for Sunday lunch with my boyfriend, my dad and his partner and we ordered 2 Sunday lunch and 2 steak pie. It was all pretty tasteless.My boyfriend has been going for years as he is a biker so he recommended it but even he said is wasn't as good as it used to be. He went again after our last visit with a friend and had the smothered chicken but he said it tasted different and the BBQ sauce was really runny. Both him and his friend had the same meal and they both had diarrhoea afterwards. I think the old chef has left so the food isn't as good. It's a shame as the place is nice and the staff are friendly.

Was told about the quality and volume of food plus the RAF and Guy Martin memorabilia was worth a visit. Booked in for lunch today (Sep 2020), great choice from light bites to mains along with specials and most importantly puddings with custard. We had steak and ale pie which was full of meat along with 5 veg, homemade chips and gravy plus Salmon (lge piece) with oven baked jkt spud and salad. Absolutely stuffed with no room for pudding and custard . Next visit defo pudding. Well worth a visit.Forgot to mention the staff who make the place.

What a great place this is, don't know if Guy Martin owns it or his sister but its great, Lots of Guy's stuff all over the place and also lots of RAF memorabilia too, the Mrs said how clean the ladies was even perfume for you to use, the gents too was the same, very unusual urinals to say the least and where else would you expect to find a 4 cylinder motorcycle barrel in a toilet? the food looked excellent and plenty of it, we will be going back to try it for sure. The staff where spot on too and all dressed in the same KIRMO gear, just brilliant.

Came on Sat 8th August for a midday meal, booked in advance because of Covid regs, arrived early but our table was ready, easy to follow Covid instructions and directions, staff in masks and customers all respecting Social Distance guidelines. The food was amazing, home cooked ham salad was gorgeous with new potatoes, not stingy on the butter portions! And other half had Haddock and Chips, the fish was big and the chips were really, really good! Love this place, worth the 45 min drive for us. Thank you to the staff who must have been hot and bothered in masks but kept on being professional and polite.

My husband and I stopped off here on a whim whilst on our way to Laceby. The menu was really good and varied and we both struggled to decide what to have as it all sounded great! My husband had the fish platter which was huge and well worth the money! I had a smaller plate with homemade chips which were so good! The raspberry cheesecake was amazing and definitely one of the better desserts I've had in a while. Worth a visit for friendly and helpful service and good food.

Took my Wife out for a birthday meal. Ordered gammon and chips for myself and a jalfrasi for my wife.Waited one hour for our main to arrive. When it was placed in front of us I was disappointed just by the look of my gammon and chips. The meat was cool. The 'homemade' chips had no sign of oil and had clearly been reheated.The egg was like rubber and not sure which day it was fried.The curry had no flavour and the rice was over cooked, as was the chicken. Very disappointed and will not step foot in the pub again.

Service was great. Sat by the open fire (our request for all you “I’d be too hot-ers”) Good atmosphere. Lovely pint too. All in all, I’d go back in a heartbeat. Definitely worth a visit.

Meal - Brilliant for the 3 of us. We all had different meals but all were fantastic presented ok taste delicious and the taste was out of this world. This was a Christmas present for our youngest son so we took our elder son with us for his birthday treat and made upo the difference of the Xmas voucher. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the dedication to our saviours in Bomber Command also the bikers who came though too. If you want to pay tribute to our Wartime Aircrew you can sit and contemplate in the remeberance garden over the road or just read the stories and look at the photos on the walls and the wall painted tributes too. Wish I had know of this pub sooner reception was good and care of us excellent - cant praise the service attention and food standards enough - Thank you we will be back - Also an educational visit as to what you can do with several buckets !!!!

I have to say I really enjoyed the visit to Guys establishment, staff were very friendly and helpful. Food is freshly cooked for each order (as you would want) so expect a bit of time between ordering and the plate hitting your table. But when it arrives you won’t be disappointed with both quality and quantity, if I’m honest possibly a bit too big but I certainly wouldn’t complain. The skull and spanner’s beer is also very nice indeed.

We returned for a 3rd visit and we were not disappointed! A lovely clean pub with friendly staff. The food was again excellent with large portions, probably too large because we did not have room for a pudding, really good value.The food is freshly cooked to order so may involved a wait, especially whilst a pie is cooked, but it is well worth the wait and the beer is good so enjoy a drink while your waiting (providing your not the driver!).

Visited several times always been very good, booked a table for a party of 10 ( Daughter & Grandsons birthdays) pre- booked meals as asked ,when the meals arrived 3 were of very poor quality ( wafer thin shop bought ham, cold peas .eggs over cooked) when my son questioned his meal saying the ham was not as the had previously enjoyed the waitress commented that this was how it was now, and walked off , when we complained further we were told they had run out of ham , not very good when we had been asked to pre-book. we were offered replacement meals but declined as all the other meals had arrived ,all the other meals were only average no were near as good as previous visits , the 3 poor meals were removed from the bill , but spoilt the evening .

My husband had the homemade chicken curry with chips and rice and a poppadum which he described as superb! The portion sizes are large so visit on an empty tummy!

Everything the plate was eaten as it was so nice. Mains, most had the roast and a couple had the chicken in a sauce with chips.. Everyone that had the roast had beef and all said it was so tasty and tender. We had to ask for boxes to take away as we didn't want to leave anything behind.

Called in on a recommendation and also a fan of Guy Martin. Was not disappointed. One of Guys bikes takes pride of place at one end of the bar and the pub is decorated with bike racing in mind but also with a nod to the history of kirmington airport. Staff were very friendly and helpful and nothing was any trouble. Food was excellent and the portions were huge. Talk about value for money! Onion rings £1-50! And they were great! We had salmon and haddock and chips. Fish was as fresh as I’ve ever had and the chips were top drawer. Proper hand cut chips like your mum would make only better! (Sorry mum). Lovely relaxed atmosphere only gripe could maybe do with a bit of background music as we couldn’t help overhear our neighbors conversation.

I ordered the fish and chips my wife ordered posh fish fingers in toasted bun and salad. Both large portions and very hot fish was very fresh white and with home made tartar sauce it was delicious. As owner is Guy Martins sister there is loads of memorabilia from him and can see why it’s a magnet for bikers plus Guy martin merchandise available to buy but at the same time a great country pub restaurant.

We were seated in a conservatory type room and it was nice and bright and clean looking . The tables chairs and decor are a bit mish mashed and worn looking and exactly what id expect for a country pub well done for not making the place void of any character. Both me and my partner had surf and turf he had chips i opted for jacket potato, our food was served quickly and was a huge portion, presented well on the plate and tasted good , we will most definitely be back

Called in here one Saturday lunch time and had the fish & chips and a lasagne. The food was really good and people were friendly. It was quiet when we arrived about 12pm but got busy so I would recommend booking.

well well well we decided to have tea this Friday as we are away next week on holiday, we had two small children with us and we was at the table when it opened at 5.30. we place the order as quick as we could and then had to wait over a hour before ours was served although we did notice other meals had been served. I did order fish cakes and they had run out so I had the curry which was very average, My sons mixed grill was over cook and the o rings was cold, we ordered steak Dianne didn't arrive . in a nut shell very poor wont being going again, we did have the drink paid for but I am so disappointed

It’s a pilgrimaged site for motorcycle fans as it’s run by Guy Martin’s sister and a very good job she makes of it too. Good beer and food. You won’t be hungry when you leave.

As my husband and myself are big Guy Martin fans, we have wanted to visit this place for ages. We had the week off so this was the perfect opportunity. We travelled from Boston and we were overwhelmed by the establishment and most importantly the staff. Really polite from start to finish. We got there ar 12:15, by just after 1pm, you were struggling for a table. There was a combination of bikers and locals who all had stories to tell. One lady was telling a gentleman about her father who rode in the Isle of Man TT.

To be honest as a fan of Guy Martin, a bit of a military historian and a yorkshireman who loves a pie. For me to not love this place was going to be difficult.

I can't believe we had not discovered this gem of a pub/restaurant before!!! I found this on Google, read all the excellent reviews so I had no worries about booking a table for my wife and I last Saturday evening, and I am so pleased that I did. We were made to feel very welcome as soon as we arrived, as all the staff were so friendly and efficient. The food, as expected, was delicious and such great portions, and our only problem was in fact clearing our plates; no chance. The steak and ale pie had a beautiful suet topping and underneath that, the pie was brimming with melt in the mouth pieces of steak; certainly the best pie I have ever tasted. At the time of booking I had no idea that this pub is owned by that extraordinary character, Guy Martin, which explained the motorbike at one end of the pub!!! Being an ex-RAF chappie, it was also intriguing to discover the history of No 166 Squadron at RAF Kirmington. So, all in all this was a wonderful experience and there is no doubt that we will be returning. Oh yes, the pint of Bateman's ale, Skull and Spanners, was well worth a sup!!!!

We pre booked a lunch time table and were glad we did. We arrived just after twelve and it filled up very quickly. Service was very efficient and friendly. The food was very clearly freshly cooked and well worth the wait. Even the toilets are good. This pub definitely appeals to a whole host of people, be it Guy Martin fans, motorbike fans, RAF/Lancaster fans or foodie fans. There is some thing here for every one. A wonderful experience and cannot wait to go again.

Had been previously on the way home from an outing and were unable to have food, so booking is a must! We booked this time and we were not disappointed! The food was amazing. I had the surf and turf and my uncle had the mixed grill, both in the slightly more expensive bracket. But, it was certainly worth every penny. It was cooked beautifully and could come with a range of potato and veg/salad options.

Visited this lovely pub in the Linc's Wolds. Very friendly and cosy atmosphere. Staff were great. Food & drink were very good, with good portions at a fair price. Will call again if we are this way.

I visited the pub with high hopes after reading reviews that suggested I'd not be disappointed, how wrong they were. The positives were the staff who were friendly and efficient and the pub itself is clean and inviting internally. The food was a letdown. I had the steak and ale pie with chips and veg. The chips were undoubtedly the worst chips I've eaten this year by a mile. Whoever served them up needs to have a word with themselves for having the brassneck to send them out to a customer. The steak and ale pie, a classic, whilst having a generous filling fell down badly when it came to flavour. I do wonder if some of the reviews are influenced by who the landlords are?

We had heard good things about this place so came with the family. My first impressions were that it looked dated. The tables and chairs were tiny and we barely had room to all sit around.

We have been here before and it was very good, but this time we were so disappointed with the place, It has got very scruffy, the music was loud and the food, although a lot of it, was not quite up to the standard it was before, the service was very quick and friendly, its a shame the place is more like a transport cafe!

We drove from Scunthorpe to enjoy a nice meal on a sunny Tuesday evening. Upon arriving at 5.30pm, other than a couple sat at the bar and a table of 3 people we were the only two customers. We found a table and then asked if we needed to order at the bar, to which we were told no it was table service. Within 5 minutes of sitting down, we knew what we wanted from the menu and what drinks. When we ordered our meals, quarter pounder cheese and bacon burger and fish and chips, along with drinks, it was 5.48pm. We were sat waiting for what felt like ages! It was quiet, which was more shocking why there was such a delay in someone taking our order. We noticed the two tables had eaten starters and mains in the time our food came out. I chased the food at 6pm with the waitress who advised it was "just being plated up". A further 15 minutes went by when one meal came out, my fish and chips. The batter on my fish was noticeably overcooked. On tasting the chips, which looked delicious, were cold. At this point I advised the waitress when she delivered the burger separately, which was at least 5 minutes later, than my chips were cold. Quite frankly at that point her attitude, where she almost disbelieved me by the look on her face, was frustrating especially as we had waited so long. She took my plate away. My sister started to eat her chips, then cut her burger in half to her horror the burger was raw. Red and gooey in the middle. We do appreciate in some upmarket, trendy, city centre venues this is common, however, we were in a country pub! So, again we complained as the waitress brought my new fish and chips over. Good news, the chips were hot but the fish hadn't changed (to be fair at this point I had only complained about the chips being cold). The burger was taken away, at which point we said we were in a hurry. They said the fresh burger would be 10-15 mins max. At 6.30pm I had eaten what I could, leaving half of the rock hard batter to one side. We had to be leaving, so we went to the bar and said that we couldn't wait for the burger anymore. They said the meals have been "void" from the bill, however, they were still trying to charge us £3.90 for the 1 1/2 pints of coke we'd had. I explained that I thought it was a liberty trying to charge us for anything. At which point they argued that we hadn't been waiting that long. That the check went into the kitchen at 5.48pm... at which point I said we'd been sat waiting for a long time. I just explained that the customer service was shocking and that they shouldn't try to charge us for anything. The two waitresses, who were trying to justify why my sister hadn't even had her meal yet and why we had waited almost 45 for the meals to come out, said "if you dont want to pay that's fine" and scrunched up the receipt. I said it's not that I dont want to pay, it's the principal. We had a bad experience and based on that we will not be returning. Oh ... we were handed a burger in a take away box, which can only be resembled as what youd have after a night on the town. My sister has now gone hungry as she couldnt face eating it. I came here in June on a Sunday for a roast dinner which was great. Tonight was a real let down.

Myself and 2 friends met up for a meal and a chin wag. Lovely pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. Great choice of food and massive portions making great value for money. The staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. But you need to check out the toilets,(female), my friend said you can tell a lot about the establishment by their toilets and we were not disappointed. They were clean and the decor is beautiful. I will definitely return, if not just to check out the mens facilities!

Visiting Brigg and wanted lunch so tried Lord Nelson. Greeted by owner/manager ? and after using sanitiser shown to a table. Excellent pint of local beer to start, my wife had white coffee , hot milk supplied in small jug. Food cooked to order, so a bit of a wait, but worth it. I had large Yorkshire pudding filled with liver and onions, arrived hot, was tasty and filling, my wife had soup and fish and chips from pensioners menu. Covid compliant, saw tables cleaned after customers left. Excellent, friendly service. and definitely visit again when next in area.
