Visited 7th August and so impressed dined again on the 8th. Both visits were in the restaurant. Staff welcomed us and though we hadn't booked and was busy did accommodate us both times. Had the fish pie and was amazing, second visit had the haddock. Can't fault both. Family had scampi and no complaints. Restaurant is very clean, modern and light. Staff are friendly and attentive. Warning ...... go hungry as portions are huge ! Will be back!

We are regular visitors to Cleethorpes, as we’re originally from the area. The fish and chips here are amongst the best in the country. Always top quality, fresh and beautifully cooked and as is the norm in Lincolnshire, the skin is left on the haddock, keeping all the flavour in, and exactly how it should be served. The restaurant is lovely and clean, and it’s now table service, so it’s always a pleasure to go and eat there. Some good alternative choices for non-fish eaters too. Book early to avoid disappointment!

Fish seems better quality in restaurant than the takeaway but on the last 3 visits from the takeaway the fish is edible however the quality was poor

On the whole very good fish and chips. 100s of portions served every hour, yet service is good and food hot and fresh. Seniors deal is good. Portion size is medium, not that I could eat anymore, but my local one in Cornwall is half as big again for less. You folks up north love skin on fish… Not my favourite

Saturday 8 June 2024. Lunch. Everyone I know who knows Cleethorpes, raves about The Ocean and now I can see why. It's always a good sign when a restaurant is packed on a Saturday lunchtime. Despite being so busy, the waiting staff found us a table and service was very efficient and friendly (no trouble to get your teapot topped up). Jumbo haddock, chips and mushy peas arrived piping hot (the waiters were practically running in and out of the kitchen so that nothing hangs around). The fish was properly jumbo, fresh and perfectly cooked, the chips and peas exactly as you'd hope. Spot on. My only quibble is that the vinegar was really watery.

This was one of the best fish and chip restaurants we have been to in a very long time! The staff were so friendly and helpful, the restaurant was really clean and smart. The fish was so fresh and tasty and the portion sizes were ample. Great value for money too. Would highly recommend it here.

I love this place , from the service to the food , however on this visit things seemed a little off , the chips where barely cooked , very pale and not as tasty , I asked for my fish well done and it was no different to my husbands who didn’t have his well done , overall its value for money , managed very well and always clean , we are all allowed and off day .

We visited Oceans yesterday. The lady who greeted us found a table for 2. The service was great. Everyone was friendly. We ordered a portion of haddock and cod abd chios fabulous. We polished off a couple of beers each and finished with a portion of cherry pie, my favourite. The restaurant was super busy but clean and tidy. Service was quick, and the food was tasty. Highly recommended

This is now the 2nd visit to The Ocean Fish Bar and absolutely lovely, hot fresh and delicious. I have battered Plaice which was excellent, chips, curry sauce and mushy peas. First time i went 2 weeks ago i have the home made steak pie, gravy, chips and Peas . Again wonderful and each time the service was perfect and servers very attentive. My favourite go to place to eat. MC Lincoln.

Lovely meal, we all had the special which we thought was a bargain Main, bread and butter, drink and dessert for £13.10 One went for steak pie, one went for fried haddock, one went for fiskcakes and one went for baked haddock (which came with a jug of parsley sauce and salad garni). You could have a choice of potatoes, chips, mashed or boiled and either mushy or garden peas. Three cherry pies, one with ice cream the others with custard. One took one home, Bakewell tart. We will definitely be returning Thank you

As post birthday treat, I took Mum & Dad for fish & chips Friday lunch (not sure how that works?!) Dad is a notably "challenging" customer to satisfy food-wise 😉 and he absolutely loved it - mission accomplished!

We have been wanting to try here on recommendation for a long time but live an hour away and venture up that way rarely. We had a takeaway to eat in the car as we had our dog with us as we had been walking on the front but had we been on our own we would have sat in. Our fish and chips were very good indeed, fish was so white and tasty, batter impeccable and chips fresh and hot, little grease either. Two portions and 2 drinks just under £20, fantastic value! We last visited another very popular fish shop in the town a while back now and was very disappointed and wouldn’t frequent there again, but without a doubt we will be back here and we won’t leave it so long now we know we can get such a tasty treat.

Went on recommendation from a friend and was not disappointed. Quite the opposite. The place is clean tidy and cosy. The fish was cooked just right, crispy batter with moist, succulent fish inside. It was nicely displayed and we enjoyed every mouthful.

Disappointing meal, always liked the Ocean fish bar , and previously when it was Suthies. Sadly won’t be returning. As a local and a member of a fishing family, I was wholly disappointed with the fish and chips today. Small thin haddock that was tasteless and chips that looked as pale as an undernourished child from the 1800s. I can only imagine the good reviews are from trippers that are used to bad fish and chips.

Travelled from Sheffield and enjoyed a walk along the sea front, but the high point of the visit is fish and chips at Ocean. It was children in need day and all the staff were in fancy dress to raise money. For a few years we had meals from the restaurants closer to the promenade, but once we found Ocean, towards the end of a street running parallel to the front, this has been our destination for at least 5 years. Its best to book a table as it is always busy. Take away can be bought in the entrance, but for a great sit-down meal go through the chip shop to the restaurant. The place is scrupulously clean, the staff are enthusiastic and efficient. The quality of the food is excellent, try the special which has several options for main meal, sides and sweets, with a beverage and bread and butter, all in the price. It is great value and always cooked to order so very hot. We look forward to dinning at Ocean soon.

Brilliant service friendly staff delicious food. My wife and I were going out to a party and needed a small meal. The waitress kindly suggested the child’s portion which turned out to be a decent size fish and chips with a few mushy peas. We had curry sauce and a couple of slices of bread and butter. I would definitely return now to try a large portion when I’m feeling hungry 😋 # Great chippy 10 out of 10 from us 👍

Have been eating here for several years now and visit regularly. The food is always very good. But I have noticed that the size of the fish has been getting smaller and smaller .Disappointed yesterday with size of a regular fish and the portion of chips. It seems to be hit and miss whether the fish is of a reasonable size or not. Fish yesterday was small and what I would have expected for the fish special. The portion of chips was also very small. Compared to the size of portions on the next table who had also ordered regular fish. I felt short changed.

We spent a week in Cleethorpes and decided to do a little fish & chip research. Ocean was the third to be visited. We have been here a lot in the past so for old times sake, decided to pay a visit. We chose the Pensioners Special, which at £8.50 includes peas, bread & butter, drink and dessert. Unfortunately it was the most disappointing of our three venues. Like I said in a previous review, I do like crispy batter, and crispy this isn’t! I did enjoy the scallop though in lieu of chips.All down to personal choice, but not for me I’m afraid. That said, the staff are friendly and hygiene levels, especially with Covid, are very good. Good access for those with restricted mobility.Give it a try and make your own decision.

Tried Takeaway and opted for what was described as Jumbo Haddock with chips twice came to just short of £ 15 .When we got home and opened the box couldnt believe how small the fish was at most 8oz fillet regular chip shop size certainly not jumbo as advertised tried to call but engaged twice so proceeded to eat our dinner before was cold. The fish tasted ok cant say it was the best very greasy and chips what few was there were covered in grease from the fish for what it cost would not rush back again disappointed after reading so many reviews

Whether you dine in or takeaway the service is great and the food excellent. I can highly recommend. I would say this is the best place to get fish and chips by far.

Staff all very friendly and welcoming. Service was excellent, didn't have to wait for food. Haddock and chips were really good. There is a car park just opposite so parking was not a problem. It is a busy establishment, both in the restaurant and for take-away. If using restaurant, might be advisable to ring and reserve a table. Definitely a place we would revisit if we are in this area again.

I try and visit Cleethorpes once a year , unfortunately no trip last year. This restaurant has become a favourite. Every year the menu gets more interesting. I was going to eat regular seaside fish ' n ' chips and mushy peas but when I saw this year's menu I came over all middle class and ordered griddled sea bass salad with added proper chips plus a large glass of house white . It was excellent and as usual the staff , cleanliness and service was spot on

I would highly recommend this restaurant. The food is absolutely excellent and great value for money. The service is very professional and very attentive along with a friendly attitude. A great friendly atmosphere.Very clean and and tidy. Staff pay particular attention to the covid rules and take your temperature before entering, making it covid safe and a comfortable place to eat.

The same as many others, gutted that the place is changing to a Premier Inn guests only restaurant, seriously bad move. The place is busy nearly every serving We have even been for Christmas dinner for the last 10 years or so as well as breakfasts and tea times Please rethink this ridiculous decision

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.
