Popas bar in East Lindsey

We (2 adults, 2 children and 1 dog) popped in for dinner on our arrival in Anderby Creek for the week. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Very family friendly place with good menu choice - kids portions are very generous. Lasagne and steak were excellent.

Delighted we could take our dogs in here as we spent a long weekend in Anderby Creek. We ate here on two evenings. Have been before earlier in the year and still find this one of the friendliest most pleasant places around. The staff are great and nothing too much trouble. The food was very reasonably priced, nicely cooked and well presented. Homemade lasagne was particularly superb I have to say! We were made to feel most welcome, including our 2 dogs who were given treats, I would not hesitate to recommend this place.

This our go to place in Anderby Creek. Fantastic staff, excellent food and great entertainment. Staff are always friendly and polite, and always happy to help. Entertainment is excellent, Friday Karaoke is brilliant, Saturday is a good night Professional entertainment. Food is always top quality whatever you order. Sunday Carvery is amazing. Cheers Phil and the staff. Wayne

Good quality food, and good size portions. Great value for money. Staff very friendly. will visit again when i am next in the area

Fantastic Sunday carvery, 3 choices of meat beautifully cooked, very good selection of fresh vegetables and the yorkshire puddings are massive. advise booking in advance to make sure you can get a table. Chef and management are friendly and knowledgeable. See you again soon

I had a good pizza and dessert- it was reasonably priced and the staff were welcoming. Very family friendly place with lots on the menu.

My friend and I plus my two dogs went here today for lunch. Very warm welcome, appreciated the treats for the dogs and the fish and chips was excellent too! Highly recommended

If you're craving some greasy grub, this is the spot. But don't expect anything fancy. My partner got a pie with rock-hard peas and instant mashed potatoes that tasted like packet smash! The pie itself was alright, I guess. I had the cheeseburger, and it was a major let-down. The onion rings were cold and oily, and the chips were even greasier. The burger patty was a sad, frozen piece of meat that was deep-fried to oblivion. You'd think a place like this would support local butchers and serve fresh food. We left feeling super disappointed and won't be going back.

Have been to poppas before, and had a little dodgy experience during COVID, and before that we had some good meals there, but I don’t know what has happened, I’m not sure if it’s changed hands or just gone down hill, We booked as a family four adults and four children, we kept it early because some of the children are quite young, but when we ordered our food half way through ordering I was told we haven’t any fish for fish and chips, ( I wouldn’t have thought they’d run out of food so early) In the past Poppas always prided themselves on high quality fish and chips and had a variation of different fish courses, now it’s limited to haddock or scampi, so we had to choose alternatives off the menu, but all of us were disappointed, the ones who did receive fish and chips found the food very greasy and over thick batter on the fish that wasn’t properly cooked, I had a steak that was supposed to be medium but closer to well done, the chips were over done and peas/mushy peas were just microwaved. So I’d advise steer clear, as we will in the future.

Having spent the morning walking and enjoying the local beach we treated ourselves to a drink and lunch at Papa’s. The food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. Really friendly staff and dog friendly. They even put the F1 qualifying on for us! Highly recommended for great food, drink and atmosphere.

Popped in for a coffee, and was tempted by the smell, the look and the choice of the carvery. We took three lunch’s away, in a box, there was plenty of food, I made soup out of my left overs 😊

Came with my family. Great dog friendly place to eat. Lots of gluten free and dairy free options! Great choice of drinks and reasonably priced. Only reason for 4 and not 5 stars - pizza came out rather burnt!

The food is absolutely awesome. I can in all confidence say I enjoyed the best and largest fish & chips I have ever eaten on the first night, the best steak & ale pie on the second night, the best gammon steak on the third night and on the last night I had to experience the steak & ale pie once again. Not only is the food good but the price is right.

Lovely food as always ~ fish and chips portions are huge Great service and comfortable surroundings Perfect after a stroll along the beach

Not exactly the welcoming we was expecting . Went for my 60th birthday . Told your table is over there . Waited over 1.20 mins for food hardly any body in . No apologies when asked about how long food would be just told ur next . Never asked was everything ok . Just asked have you finished now . Wouldn’t go again . Food average .

great helpfull staff. amasing food well presented all above and beyond. didnt get time to try the sunday carvery,but looked beautifull and will try next visit.

Booked a table for 6 people in advance for a birthday meal, was advised with it being a busy weekend it would be up to a hours wait for food. We didn't have a problem with this, and we're happy with our drinks until our meals arrived. Some mix up with the order but this was sorted. When the food arrived it was bearly warm. One of the chicken dishes was VERY pink in the middle so was returned to the kitchen. A response from the 'chef' was relayed back to us saying, 'well they've nearly eaten it all! Yes the edges of the chicken had been eaten but when cut into the middle it was clearly not cooked through. A customer at a neighbouring table returned her fish and chip meal once she had cut in to it, this was promptly replaced with a fresh meal. I would call again for drinks but would choose not to eat there again.

Very friendly with your name on the table if you have booked, Fantastic food, very friendly atmosphere and decent selection of wines.

Ate with friends over the weekend. The ploughman's was beautiful, l actually had a beef one as it was a Sunday. Delicious and fantastic service as always. Thank you Milena and the team .

Went for carvery with family and friends. Was disappointed as the reviews said it was really good. I would put it at average. Beef was tough a d a bit on dry side, gammon was very nice, didnt try the pork as not a fan generally. A lot of the vegetables were mixed with others or had sauces and only peas (apart from roast potatoes & parsnips and mash potato) were on their own with no sauces so if you don't want fancy stuff give it a miss. Staff were helpful, and the roasts potatoes were among the best I had, certainly beat any Toby carvery I've been to.

Sunday Dinner Had Sunday carvery very nice x Generous helping of meat choice if three are mixed. Home made York see puddings. Good choice of fresh veg all cooked lovely would definitely recommend

Excellent meal both hubby and I had different meals both plates of food came out hot and looking amazing Love that they are dog friendly inside so we ate in side then sat outside with a nice glass of real ale Definitely recommend it some may think the prices are a little high but you get what you for and we thing the food reflected the price Definitely recommend the Fish and Chip and the Scampi

Milena and the team always provide service with a smile and the food is wonderful. I have never in my life seen such HUGE yourshire puddings and roasties to die for. Thank you.

We visited Popas last year and really enjoyed our experience, this week we visited with a elderly friend. The experience and quality were amazing, the lady that took our order could not have done more to accommodate us. Well done Popas

Had steak with peppercorn sauce. Was amazing done just how I like it. Really enjoyed it. Every time we go the food never let's us down. Would highly recommend.

Great little bar in Anderby! Highly recommend a visit. This place is close to the beach and easy to get to. It’s clean and tidy.

Poppas is a very friendly pub that serves great food and drink,allows dogs and children and has a warm and friendly atmosphere.

We've been to popas bar for many years and 9/10 times we've never been disappointed. Now this was that 1/10 times. To get a clear overview, popas is in a great location near Anderby creek beach, the inside is fresh and clean and the staff...

On the last night of our holiday we visited Popas. Great meal, made really special by our waitress, Sammy. She was absolutely lovely. Thank you Sammy xx

Family meal everything brilliant great service excellent staff you have turned this pub around to what it was definitely be back thank you

Visited for lunch. Nice welcome and covid safety measures explained well. We both really enjoyed our meals, drinks and desserts. Although there was a change in staff while we were there it didn’t affect service which was great

Been coming to Anderby Creek for 12 years and always walk the dogs and then home to eat as nowhere decent... but what a change... food is amazing... fantastic service and dog friendly... clean and safe... recommend to anyone 👏well done... we’ll definitely be back

Oh wow. Love it. Food is amazing. Lovely clean trendy premises. Service with a smile under her mask. Hubby had pie and i had scampi. Will deffo be back again soon. Worth the taxi home. Xx

Had haddock and chips, absolutely yummy. Excellent service and felt lovely and clean and safe. Mushy peas and beer great too

We went for a late lunch on Sunday. It is new and modern and very pleasant. We were put on a table near the window away from others and service was quick. We had Sunday roast and it was lovely plenty of vegetables and gravy. It was served hot too.It is family run and they are all hands on deck. It is wonderful for Anderby creek as they offer entertainment on Saturday evenings and carvary on sundays. Just what Anderby needed for the visitors.

Chicken and bacon carbonara, think the chicken must have escaped as there was no sign of it ,complained to the manager and all he said was a half hearted sorry. Very bad service

I’m a chef who has worked in some of London’s and the UKs best restaurants over twenty years working for the likes of Helene Darroze, Marcus Wareing, Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Marco Pierre White’s head chef of 20 years: Rob Weston. I can honestly say that I am blown away by the sauce served with the lamb kofte here and requested the recipe from the chef. I’ve a very acute sense of taste and can always pick flavours apart like I’m disassembling a tent but this sauce leaves me baffled. I can truly say this chef is talented beyond recognition.

Been to this restaurant before and the food was ok, but this visit on entering 1 no hand sanitiser 2 tables so close together no safe distancing 3 staff have no PPE Masks, gloves, visors etc)4 no social distancing on queuing 5 no recommended entry /exit ( you have to pass closely to new customers as you leave )We felt uncomfortable with the next table almost leaning over us and staff seemed unconcerned, our food order was incorrect but they quickly sorted this but I had to eat at a different time to my wife, I don’t think we’ll be going back unless there are better safety measures put in place.

Good food , staff attentive , however, no social Distancing at all, I had to ask to change tables because there are no government guidelines in the place at all, no hand sanitiser around the building , on arrival or toilet areas, staff or customers wore no face coverings or masks . So... if you wish to catch the virus then this is the best place to go.

My husband and I met with 2 friends at Poppas as we had a meal here a couple of weeks ago and were impressed by the food. However, our visit last night was quite a different story..My husband and one of our friends ordered the pulled pork burger and chips, another ordered cajun chicken burger. All these meals were advertised as coming with hand cut chunky chips. I struggled to find something as for health reasons I need a low carb diet. Almost every meal came with chips, rice bread or pasta so I decided I'd go for the crispy duck salad.The plates of food were brought out one at a time with a bit of a wait between each one. My salad came out last. It was a bed of green leaves with some finely sliced carrot and a shredded duck breast on top. The salad had no dressing. It had clearly bees grabbed from a bag and the carrot was not freshly cut and was whitish a bit floppy. The duck wasn't crispy at all and had no flavour and was dry. It looked very unappealing on a bed of dry leaves and assumed some type of dressing would follow. But no.. My husband asked the manager where the salad dressing was and the manager disappeared into the kitchen and came out a few minutes later to say there was nothing except some balsamic vinegar. He offered to take my salad back to the kitchen. By this time my friends were halfway through their food so I declined.My husband said his burger wasn't very hot. My friend's partner said the onion rings were unpleasantly oily. The chips were definitely not hand cut and were full of scraps and appeared soggy and oily.None of us were happy with the food although my friend said her cajun chicken was nice.When we'd finished the boy who brought our meals out came and asked us if everything was OK. My friend explained how we were all disappointed and why. He went off looking a bit puzzled and that was the end of that. We paid for our meals and left. We won't be returning.Very disappointing evening

Extra seating now been placed out the front with area for singers, there were 2 on over the weekend and they were fantastic, food is all homemade and the chips are amazing.. they have all the social distancing policies in place including a one way system etc but people aren’t following them - however great service, food with a little entertainment

I ordered food labelled ‘gluten free’ on the menu (steak, chips and halloumi fries) and went home to be violently ill all night from gluten. My order wasn’t even written down as gluten free despite specifying several times.

The food is fantastic and all the workers are very polite and friendly! Great atmosphere! You always feel very welcomed!

Friendly service and a whopping portion of Grimsby beer battered haddock with delicious homemade chips washed down with a pint of Batemans - perfect after a lovely beach walk to St Leonard’s on sea and back plus a swim!

New look and decor makes it a bright place and looks clean, disappointed though at the weekend when they advertised they were doing breakfast at weekends from 0900 to find that was not the case. Having rang through at 0915 to find if they were opening to do breakfast got an abrupt "No" and no explanation. Luckily Anderby Beach Cafe was open to get a breakfast but it seems a bit hit and miss if its open or not or at least update Facebook page

Been to Popas twice this week and the food is really nice. Would absolutely recommend the burgers. They have a great selection of gin also and the staff are friendly and accommodating.

So Popa’s has had a lovely refurb and it could be a fab place. Food is good (not brilliant but good) and reasonably priced at the moment. The current problem lies with the attitude of the new management. The waiting staff are trying to do their best but there’s not enough organisation for them to succeed. Their attitude is good. However the chap in charge struggles to smile (unless he’s taking your money) - has poor customer service skills and you feel like he’s doing you a favour by allowing you to be there. Lots of huffing and puffing if you ask for anything and looks stressed and unable to cope. A more laid back welcoming attitude of ‘what the customer wants we can do’ would make this place A roaring success - even politeness would do. They need to change their front of house if they want regulars to return. it’s not all about the beer & friends If you’re running a restaurant! Very little attention to COVID regulations by the staff as well. No masks and no sign of handsanitising in between service/collections of plates/glasses. Sunday lunch offers a 3 course option but 50% (ie 2 out of 4) of their desserts were ‘out of stock’ - early days for the place but some more thought needs to be given. I hope it improves.

My wife and I complained to the owner to be met with swearing, shouting and intimidating behaviour. My wife is not even 5ft and to have a 6ft something bloke standing with his face centimetres from hers whilst shouting at her especially in the current climate is not on. What ever happened to your customers are always right. This has all been reported to the Lincolnshire Police so he won't get away with it.

What a sham for a pub .went in Saturday had to wait 20min for a pint went in Monday again had to wait 15min still no pint so I left I will not be going backIf you don't want a meal you don't count....this is not a pub.
