Walked a long way on crutches due to disability for gluten free food as website said it was open (and still does at 19.13) to be told they were closing and not doing any more orders ! If you're going to shut at just after 6pm then change your opening hours on your website instead of letting someone disabled struggle for nothing 😡😡

Terrible , steak and ale pie had one piece of meat in it but the pastry was decent . Homemade burger tested very cheap and not homemade . Gammon was ok but the chips with all the meals tasted burnt , the oil wanted changing . Not sure how they got so many good reviews , won’t be going back . I have pictures of the burger etc if Pie palace disagrees with any of the above comments . Oh and the files , Christ absolutely loads . They didn’t even ask how your meal was as I think they know they sell over prices cheap food.

Went in could take my dog in so i thought id try .. I ordered jacket potato cheese and coleslaw and a pepsi no glass offered which came to £9 something .. sat there fighting flies away for 5-10 mins and meal came, all the way through the meal we were fighting loads of flies away so god knows what the kitchen is like , the jacket potato was discoloured brown on the inside looked old or reheated definitely wasn't fresh and it was cold in the centre the butter hadn't even melted I did tell them they offered to heat it back up but I think it had been blitzed too many times as it is I'm waiting for the sickness to start .. my friends ordered cottage pie and the same there it was cold in the middle she sent hers back to be warmed up but shouldn't have to do this not good guys

Me and my partner went there today and had a BLT and a sausage and egg sandwich. My partner really enjoyed his sausage and egg. The bacon for the BLT was really thick and lovely, my only dislike was it was a little bit greasy for my liking but would still recommend x

Fantastic food at reasonable prices. Pizzas are the best I've had. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Would definitely recommend and will definitely go back. Sorry I've had to change my stars for service just walked a fair distance today to find out it was closed at 4.15pm I understand if its quite but it clearly states closes at 8pm. Will go else where when it's quite not knowing if it's open or not.

Avoid this place, just been in and ordered large chips. I don't think they have a clue what large is, just a few chips on a tray, definitely not worth the money. Over priced for very small portions.

AVOID the GLUTEN FREE breakfast. We ordered gf breakfast and was looking forward to it as 2 yrs ago we had a GF breakfast at the Pie Palace and enjoyed it but unfortunately this time the breakfast is an insult to people who are GF. One slice of bread which was not toasted properly. A jumbo sausage which was cheap and nasty. The fried egg did not even look like a fried egg. Two thick rashes of bacon, not a great taste and the smallest spoonful of baked beans and tomatoes. Very disappointed but the dog wasn't

Lovely staff, but the food was inedible. Microwaved everything, the Yorkshire pudding was rock hard from the microwave. I don’t understand the high ratings online, unless they recently changed the way they do things. People around us were asking for refunds because they couldn’t eat the food. The pie and chips were tasteless, the chips were clearly frozen. They closed at 3pm when it says it is they’re open till 8pm, we were still sat in there while they were clearly waiting for us to leave.

Fancied a nice chippy dinner. This was awful. Ordered 2 x large haddock, chips, peas, bread and butter and coffee for £11.95. The coffee was nice. Dinner very slow arriving. There was an 'old fat' taint to the meal which was very unappealing. The fish was the thinnest I've ever had. Definitely not large nor fresh. The batter was greasy and bot cooked on the inside. Bread dry. Peas were OK. We both had upset tummies within an hour.

We were a family of 8 and was always welcome to accommodate us all sitting together. 100% happy with all the food, Between the 8 of us over two weeks we have tried most of the items on the menu. Pie Palace is by far the best place to eat out in Ingoldmells. Amazing food and very courteous staff every meal was as enjoyable as the last. I have no hesitation in recommending anyone to go and try pie palace and Angie's parlour. Visit them just to try the great value-for-money breakfasts or pop into Angie's for a luxury ice cream and maybe a vodka slushy as my partner did every time we walked past. Will not hesitate to return again with my family. An awesome family-run business.

Great food and reasonable prices. Called in today (Mon) for lunch. I had the steak and kidney pie, chips, mushy peas, and gravy, and my wife had a large breakfast (without tomatoes or beans). The pie was quality and very tasty. Chips were very nice, but the mushy peas and the gravy were a little runny for me (personal liking) The bacon was nice and thick, and the eggs were cooked perfectly for my wife (runny yolks) In my opinion, the only thing that I didn't like was the "cheap" sachets of brown sauce/ketchup. It would have been far better with HP brown sauce or Heinz Ketchup.

We’re a big family and have been coming to pie palace for a few years every august when we come to skeggy. The service is by far the best service from any type of food place I’ve been and the quality of food never disappoints. Often food establishments in seaside places don’t deliver. Pie palace delivers on service and quality everytime, for aslong as we holiday in skegness, we will eat in pie palace!

This place is the best in the area. The staff are so helpful and the produce they use is a high standard, not like some cheaper cafes in the area! The owner, John is the type of gent who has morals and he would rather you tell him your problems so he can resolve them to your satisfaction than you walk away with a bad experience. This is because he cares about his customers and his business and you enjoying your visit makes his hard work worthwhile. Keep up the good work guys 💜

We were having a stroll around Skegness and my wife said she was rather peckish so, being by the seaside, fish and chips it was . The sea front were doing a lot of business but I went to the old part of town and we saw this old fish and chip shop saying they've been serving fish and chips since 1929 ,so I presume they had got the hang of it by now . Large fish and chips was £10 and so we shared a portion . What lovely serving it was as well . Fish was well cooked , the batter crispy, chips were lovely to and plenty of mushy peas . Top value for the money and a reminder of how lovely fish and chips can be . So stroll away from the tourist traps for 5 minutes and treat yourself
