Punch Bowl in North East Lincolnshire

Chicken and pepperoni pizza was a generous size and had plenty of chips too. Staff friendly, don't remember asked if our meals were OK though. Good overall though.

I arrived at The Punch Bowel Restaurant at 1.30pm on Wednesday 2nd October 24,with my friend, it was a very cold day very windy, we went inside, every radiator throughout the restaurant was stone cold, no heating on at all, we both kept our coats on throughout the visit, we were freezing cold, never been to any restaurant who did not have any heating on The meal was very nice, could not fault the food, not nice eating when you are cold with your coat on. I will never go for a meal there again, I am 81yrs old, my friend 78yrs old, some other people were having a meal with a lady in a wheel chair, they must have been cold. I told the lady when she came to take our plates away, the food was very nice, but we have been freezing cold, she said we should have told them, we should not have to tell them, the heating should have been on, when we left at 4pm, the heating came on.

fish had skin on and smelt sickening had to return as couldn't eat. Chips even tasted awful and they even overcooked sweetcorn. Chicken in photo had black stuff all over and was disgusting. Thankfully, we got a refund for the fish but nothing else. waste of money.

The staff are brilliant good laugh and customer service is brilliant food is very nice and plenty to choose from they cater for all ages portion are great never hungry after leaving

Lots of normal choices not so much on gluten free range, food sometimes comes out not very good, we will keep try to eat their as its a local pub we need to look after them

I used to love eating here, but not anymore, not worth the money you pay at all, lasagne overcooked and was like cardboard, margarita pizza was a too crunchy base it was like eating a dorito with minimal tomato and rubbery cheese, the burger was awful , stodgy texture on burger and a brioche bun that was so hard to cut and chew like it had been nooked in a micro, however jacket tatie was lovely, visited with work mates, so we ended up trying each others..... really do not want to return, can't believe how far the quality has dropped.

Used to go here all the time went recently and must say the food wasn't nice chicken was dry chips where awful and now they allow dogs we sat in pool table bit and all u could smell was wet dog dont think I would go back again

Amazing staff and very helpful. I think best pub/ restaurant around. The drink’s and food was amazing and the pool table is very clean and tidy also wanted to know about the history of the place and they were above and beyond with that.

Excellent food and friendly service. Steak pie was amazing. Very welcoming and dog friendly. Definitely will be visiting again, very good value as well.

We went for valentines evening. The food was absolutely fantastic such huge potion served by bring friendly staff we were so full shared a pudding never heard from me! The valentines table was decorated beautifully with petals and hearts ,I took my rose home! Thank you for fantastic evening we will be back x

My husband and I went here for our evening meal both had roast beef dinner the food was excellent the staff all very nice the prices of food and drinks very reasonable nothing too much trouble the bar and restaurant area very clean and tidy will definitely return

We went for a walk along the promenade to blow away the New Year’s Eve cobwebs away. Decided to stop for a coffee and ended up having the small breakfast. The food was cooked to perfection and the quality of the ingredients was very good indeed, thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely do this again. Price was good too, less than £20 for 2 people. The staff are lovely and very polite. Enjoyed looking at the old photos around the wall and being a meggies boy they was good to see. Keep up the good work Punchbowl would recommend this to anyone. WELL DONE.

Excellent homecooked fresh food, great service and fantastic value. Heartily recommend roast of the day, they serve food until 8 on a Sunday which is great for me having been at work all day. Far better than the chains offering a carvery.

As a family we have used the punch bowl for many years but we wont be going again.The food was awful most meals were wrong the peppercon sauce tasted of curry and the waiters were terrible

Had the dog with us dog friendly pub had fish chips they were very good second time we being in the dog loves it as bit hard eat fish chips from chippy he behaved and sat under table will go again when we go cleathorpe

Great value for money. Really tasty food and big portions. Lots of choice and the children were very happy with the selection.

Little disappointed. We visited with our family, my wifes in a wheelchair and we took our little pug dog with us. We were told Dogs were allowed in the pub, but only at one end....but it was the end without Disabled Access and 3 steps! We asked a member of staff what would happen if a disabled person came in with their dog? And was told "its dog or disabled access im afraid...thats it"! We had to lift the disabled person up the steps into the pub! Im sure that there must be an easier way in these days of 'political correctness' (The Equality Act 2010 requires all buildings to have disabled access). Once in the Meals were reasonable, and theres a good selection of drinks on offer. Good location and generally clean throughout. 🚩Location 10/10 🍽Meals 7/10 🚻Staff Performance 5/10 🚮Cleanliness 8/10 🌐Wifi- Didnt test. 🐕Dogs Welcome-Yes...unless your Disabled. ⚠️Needs to be up todate with the Law.

Visited 3 times best pub in cleethorpes. Lovely welcoming place excellent food and coffees wine etc. Ws have just had a superb snack meal I had jacket potato with tuna mayo hubby had loaded nachos with chilli and cheese was amazing. We will be back later tonight can't wait😋😁

Me and my son visited the Punchbowl for lunch, I had the Prawn salad & my son had the chicken burger. The quality & freshness of the ingredients were exceptional & the portion sizes were very generous, we will definately visit again. Special shout to our server Dave who was very attentive & polite.

Great piping hot freshly made food..value and cleanliness are very good and staff are all so friendly..would highly recommend the sherry trifle.. 😋 yummy

Came here on thursday 2nd Sept for a family meal, the place looks run down, the rude large woman decides to put 2 scolding hot meals infront of my 18month old, she then stood and watched me move them from infront of him and asked me to put them back as the plates might mark the table, I'd rather burn your table than my child!! the "bolognese" was awful looked like it had been made month ago with frozen mince, taste was awful, the steak looked poorly, my sons chips tasted of dirty oil, and the chocolate fudge cake was stale, we always used to love coming here it used to be great, we ended up paying over £50 in food and drinks to be poorly for 3 days, can safely say we won't be returning

Just what we were looking for, an old style pub, with proper pub food. Excellent food, generous portions, small plates for those with small appetites. Reasonably priced beer and food. Anything off the menu available. Kids and baby menu available. Visited both nights of our stay, pleasant landlord, landlady and staff, couldn't do enough for you. Proper pub, no airs and graces, no fancy stuff, like bistro or Michelin star rubbish here, just high quality pub food, good service and good atmosphere with sea views. Very clean at all times, well worth a visit. Would visit every might if we stopped longer, will return on our next visit to Cleethorpes, a definite. 11/10, 6 stars.

Not very busy food slow and not the best food serviettes was dirty with knife and fork wrapped in it .Carpet needs good clean as well really sad to write this as before when we used to go every thing was excellent .

I always come on a visit to Cleethorpes and recommend to my family and friends .once again lovely food covid safe no idiots in a lovely couple who run it with nice staff.

Sat outside and had our first ‘out of lockdown’ drink. Very organised and very clean. The staff were lovely and were equally friendly to our puppy Mabel who had had her first day on the beach. Looking forward to a return visit to try the food :-)

Miserable staff and chaotic, disjointed, distant service ruin what is otherwise a rather quaint little place; I had to ask twice if our orders could be taken, as from what I could see, the moderately numerous staff (in comparison to the handful of customers in) were more interested in chatting to other (presumably regular) patrons rather than tending to the other customers. We were then confronted at the end of our evening by a particularly sour-faced abrasive member of staff who seemed to think cuddling was "too amorous" a display for an otherwise mostly empty pub - nobody was sitting in our half of the establishment (which was separated by a wall) bar myself and my fiancée, and the nearest fellow patrons were on the other side of the building. Why this request could not have been broached to us earlier if it was apparently such a big problem and in a more personable, polite manner is beyond me. The staff are clearly in need of a public relations course - the individual who confronted us more than anyone. Needless to say, I will not be returning.

First time in Cleethorpes and friend I was with recommended this place, known for home cooked food, same owners for years. Both opted for the Steak Pie. Truly yummy, possibly suet in the pastry as it was heavy but not stodgy. Good portion size

I didn't feel like fish and chips yesterday 21st September , so I had the most lovely steak pie dinner and extra gravy ,I didn't need any more food all day after that , what with the great service I shall certainly eat at the Punch Bowl Restaurant again .

Visited today for lunch had mixed grill friend had liver sausage I asked for well done cut into steak blood came out over rest of food I complained they took the steak n returned it to be re cooked left meal now uneatable with blood friends liver n sausage were well done infact burnt hard on bottom so left all that all in all not a nice meal n won’t be returning !!!

Had yet another great meal here tonight, couldn’t fault it . My husband said was the best ribs he’d had in years , everything was lovely and hot , staff friendly & welcoming , as always . Highly recommended

It goes without saying that a meal at the Punchy is always great. But since Covid people are more wary of procedures and safety then just the quality of the meal. We found the punchy to be very well organised. Excellent one way system, easy track & trace system with minimal fuss and orders taken at the table. Disposable menus and card payments so almost no chance of picking up and bugs! This was our first meal out since Covid and it couldn’t have gone better. Well done team Punchy!

Our first outing for our tea. What a good choice we made. Food was absolutely delicious. The homemade cheesecake is the best ive ever tasted and believe me ive tasted a few! Bargain with the Eat Out Help Out discount. Staff are all friendly and helpful. We'll be back!

Good food and excellent service have been going there for years now and never had any problems bernard, sheila and the gang always great and very welcoming

Great food great service very safe during COVID-19. The staff are lovely especially the older lady food great value x

We visited yesterday, just two people, we were sat for ages before anyone came to serve us, we ordered pie and chips and pie and potato and vegetables, the chips, vegetables and potato were the only edible things on the plate, the pie was almost meatless but full of jellyfied gravy and so bitter it was inedible, never again will i waste £15.40 in that place, utterly horrible.

Took my friend here for fish and chips he insisted on cod I am local so haddock is my fish all the way he was enjoying his cod till he got to a quarter of the end and as he cut into it found it so dry and over cooked unfortunately he didnt enjoy his meal which was rather disappointing as I had raved about the food here very disappointing did get offered a pudding but it put him totally of couldn't even finish his beer .

Told it was fresh fish .so got Cod and chips server said cod was for fish cakes. Anyway it came nice crispy batter. The fish was uneatable, burnt to the batter rock hard fish . Offered a sweet instead no refund ..worst I've Ever Had in my 64 years..

It was a nice clean venue with a large room for our party. The food was good excellent value for money. The service was very efficient. I would go there again.

We were staying in North Somercotes but always enjoy our visit to Puch Bowl. Been going now for a number of years, twice a year. This time we went 5 times,lunch and 4 evening meals. Always a warm welcome, looked after very well too. Meals we had lunch all day breakfast, evening meals, fish and chips and dessert . Gammon chips and trimmings, steak pie chips etc. Scampi and chips. Cajon chicken and chips, that was so good, cooked to perfection. Meals always hot and tasty. Enjoyed every meal and desserts too.

Were staying with family in nearby village. For the price the food was very good. 5 meals were on the table within a few minutes. The sweets were also very good. We will definitely be eating there again. I suppose being out of season made a difference to the service, but an ideal place for a meal.

The service was very good. The food was also very good for the cost 5 main meals for £34.35, 4 sweets for £12.60 and they were delicious. Give it a try, you have nothing to loose.

We ordered two Sunday dinners, well if you can call them that. I nearly broke my tooth on the mash potato, it had clumps of raw potato in it. I told the waiter this, he came back to us and said " the chef has told me that is how mashed potatoes are " I replied, " what, raw ? " I thought, well I'm starving might as well eat it, the beef was like chewing leather, the Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes were as soggy as a wet cloth, the carrots tasted like they were out of a tin, and the gravy was a light brown coloured poundworld special mix.A polite young waitress asked if everything was ok after seeing two full plates left, she said we have never ever had any complaints. I find that impossible to believe. If that is their definition of a Sunday roast, they seriously need to 're think the menu.By far and away, the worst Sunday roast imaginable.

Food was reasonably priced but food was also average... I dont think I would go out of my way to come here.Staff are friendly enough and its clean.Kids pizza was demolished by my picky 5 year old (although had to strip the extra cheese off as was just too much) generous portions.Not sure what else to put.

Decided to pop in on spur of moment as it smelt soooooo nice, the pork roast was ok nothing amazing, mash was very lumpy and cabbage had no taste apart from watery, which was a shame as I only eat it out as no one else likes it.Kids cheese pizza went down well, so did the lasagna so maybe we should chose better options.But will only be back if it's raining and we are close by, as I would rather drive to the trawlerman as never had a bad meal there.

Was a last minute call to get us all in( 10 of us) the food was fab, people were lovely couldn’t have asked for better 😚

We visited with our 3 Grandchildren and all I can say is, it’s the best pub food we have eaten in a long, long time.

Nice pub Facing the sea Friendly staff and would be happy visit again.Stayed for a drink which was very nice with scenery.

Visited this pub for a meal on Saturday 20th July around 7pm, there was already a few eating meals but there was still plenty of tables to choose from.I had the sirloin steak with mushrooms, onion rings,grilled tomato, and chips and garden peas,my steak was perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth,my hubby had the home maid steak pie with chips and peas, again he said the pie was delicious.Very good value for money on both meals and drinks,served by very friendly staff,would highly recommend this pub for food.

We have been eating here for a good few years and have always enjoyed our meals, however this time we were really dissatisfied. I had cottage pie with chips and veg which is what I usually choose, this time it was completely different, it looked and tasted as if it was bought in. The meat was very sloppy and the potato was piped over the top and luke warm, it didn’t look home made at all which it usually does. My friend and I chose Lemon Meringue for dessert, this was definitely a frozen one bought in, maybe the chef is on holiday but these meals were definitely not cooked on the premises just warmed up. It will be a while until I visit here again, if ever.

We spotted this place on the way to Cleethorpes Armed Forces Day, of which we knew would be a busy day. When we came back from looking around enjoying the day at around about 3pm. We decided to sit and any eat here, atmosphere seemed good and it wasn't that busy. I was served at the bar in a good amount of time and also at the food till. My disappointment is that we had waited 1 hour and 20mins for our food (with no one telling us a wait time). I also know this as proof as I checked my receipt for the time being ordered. I have asked the staff at about 50mins what was going on, as I couldn't see any food coming out to any other diners either, or not many people was ordering food. The waitress/bar staff did apologies but made no reason and wasn't very pleasant in her apology. I can understand that it was suppose to be a busy day, but in all honesty it was not that busy at all and I work in this industry.

This busy pub serves excellent food at reasonable prices - friendly staff and prompt service - the menu is extensive and accomodates all tastes

Just had lunch here,yet again fantastic. Great service and great food.staff are very polite and welcoming. Thankyou

A warm welcome as always. This time we were there 2 evenings. First visit I had Haddock, chips and peas, small plate, but still a lot. Tony hadd Haddock but the large size.

We went as a group of eight adults we had a great time all ordering different meals and they all came out within 2 to 3 minutes good quality and very filling

Later in the day Good Friday, drinks only, the hand pulled Theakstons best bitter was very well kept and a fruity cider 7 or 8 quid?

Was greeted by a freindly man who showed us to our table. Service was fast and food was excellent. Would definitely go again. And the prices are reasonable aswell.

Went for a meal and received a belly busting feast. The restaurant was warm and cosy with friendly staff. They were very helpful and chatty whilst still doing their job. The food was excellent and cooked to a very high standard. I had the all day breakfast and it lasted ALL day. My partner had the home cooked ham. It was great. Would highly recommend the place. We will definitely be back there for some more.

I always feel like I'm eating in somebody's dining room as it has that cosy feel to it. The pool table is away in its own area so is not intrusive. The bar is away from most of the other tables so once again not intrusive. This is not a chain pub, but an independent one that provides hot, fresh, tasty food. My wife often has one of the gluten free desserts. I had the vege mushroom risotto this time and it was so creamy that I am looking forward to returning. Being able to have half chips and half rice was a bonus. Theakston bitter on hand pull is consistently good. If you are fed up with some of the tasteless, noisy chain pubs that want to move you on once your plate is empty, try The Punchbowl.

Excellent Value for money for Sunday Lunch service very good and food all quality. Full from lunch but puddings looked amazing,very good children's meal and all not very expensive

Myself and 15 colleague all decide to go to the Punchbowl for our Christmas Meal.. well all i can say is what a brilliant night we had..food was lovely..from starter to tea and coffee..everyone cleared their plates and said how yummy it was..entertainer had us all up dancing. Staff are very friendly and welcoming.Love this place

Out walking with a friend and we decided to take a short break, so we stopped at the Punch Bowl, a good drink and a clean, tidy place to rest for a while..

Went twice this time, normally go 3 or 4 times as we just love it here, always made welcome. This time we were lucky to have a table not so near others. This we need as hubby is on oral chemotherapy and has to try and stay away from crowded place when possible. On our first visit we both had Chicken Kiev chips and peas, then I had treacle sponge and ice cream, wow, that was really tasty, Tony had Apple Crumble, another tasty pud. Our second visit Tony had the all day breakfast, he really love it and always has it on one of our visits. I had Fish and Chips, smaller portion and they were tasty too. I had ice cream with salted caramel sauce and Tony just one scoop of vanilla ice cream, we both enjoyed our meal, as we always do.

Went to a friends 50th birthday party upstairs at Lacey's. Plenty of room in the large room and seating at one end near the bar for people who want a quiet chat now and then away from the music.

We use the "Punchy" regular and the choice and variety on the Menu is superb a lot of which are unique to this Restaurant. The food is always cooked to perfection and always fresh vegetables here. There is always ample quantities at fantastic prices the two meals ie starter and main or main and Pudding deal is the best anywhere. staff are fantastic and it really does feel like an extended family that run it. Never had a bad meal here It really is The Cleethorpes seafront jewel in the crown. Lovely relaxed ambience to the place I simply cannot recommend this place enough My family and friends from away are always blown away by it. The chef/s deserve a special mention they are top notch.

From the time of booking to leaving on the evening of the party the staff were exemplary in their friendliness and professionalism. The function room was private with a well stocked bar and set up so that there was the facility for those who preferred to sit in a quite area. The buffet was excellent and very good value for money. The DJ kept the dance floor full all evening - amazing as the guests ranged from age 1 - 83!

Called today Sunday and had lunch . 4 different choices we had really nice plentiful food . We had gammon . Mixed grill. Sausage and Yorkshire pud and I had scampi and ribs . All enjoyed very much.

Moved up this way 3 months ago decided we would have a day out at cleethorpes found the "punchbowl" on the seafront had lunch there best burger and chips I've tasted in ages wife had chicken loved it ..been back 3 times since took our friends there for Sunday lunch 4 lovely roast dinners and plenty on a plate ...lovely staff good old fashioned pub great food ...will be back soon 5*****

We went in for lunch on Monday and we will never go back again! The toilets are for customers only, which is totally understandable! So we walked in with a 5 year old needing the loo after a very long car trip, and instantly were shocked by the standard of hygiene in the place, a strong stale smell. We felt bad that we needed to use the facilities so we stayed and ordered food. The lady behind the bar was anything but welcoming and frankly quite abrupt and awkward. We were barked at to order at the other bar...sure not a problem! So we walked over and then she did too...to take our order! The whole transaction felt like a confrontation!! We found a table by the window which had been ‘cleaned and reset’ but it still had bits of food and hair on it! So the food arrives... I had the scampi, expecting it to be fresh as you know, we’re literally next to the sea...it wasn’t even scampi, it was formed white fish bites! My partner had a half rack of ribs with warm coleslaw. All seemed ok whilst we ate it and we quickly left to get some air. My partner within 15 minutes of finishing it began to complain of being too hot and ‘not feeling right’ he began to sweat and started to turn grey! Wanting to get him home ASAP we jumped back in the car and as soon as we hit the m180 he was violently vomiting out of the window as I tried to stop the car! As I found a place to stop, He didn’t! I thought we were going to end up with an ambulance at the side of the road! By this point food poisoning is evident. I managed to get him all the way home with stops to let him be violently sick again and again. This carried on until the early hours of this morning (two days later). Needless to say we will not be returning for another visit. I do not know which part of the meal cause this or whether it was just low hygiene standards. I will be taking him to the doctors today to get checked over.

Situated on Cleethorpes sea front. This pub/restaurant is at the 'wrong' end of Cleethorpes beach, that is, a lot of holiday makers don't make it past the slot machines. A pity, as the Punch Bowl offers really good food at decent prices.

Been to the punch bowl many times never again as we always have a long wait this time waited for an hour was told that it was because one of our party of 4 ordered the duck with orange sauce

We came across the Punchbowl (aka Lacey's) while searching Cleethorpes prom for lunch on a sunny Sunday afternoon. While there are plenty of places serving fish and chips, burgers etc, the Punchbowl offered more comfortable surroundings, good beer, friendly staff and well-priced meals. The fish, chips and peas were very good at £4.95, while the jacket potato and beans (£4.75) offered a filling alternative for my wife. A beer and a soft drink later, we were ready to brave the crowds along the sea front again.

Been coming for years. Food always delicious, never had a problem. Fully satisfied, keep it up folks!

We went in for a meal after an evening walk. Menu looked good and theprices seemed very good! Hubby had pie and chips with garden peas; pretty good it seems but I ordered the sea bass supposedly pan fried. Well, what arrived was not sea bass! Yes it was a white fish but definitely not sea bass. It was covered in a soggy, fat soaked batter - aweful! i spoke to the staff who said "it's coated in flour it's not batter". Hmmm...that's why I could peel it off I suppose?! The waitress came over and prodded it with my fork and said "yep, definitelt sea bass".Even hubby had a taste and straight away said it must be cod or pollock, wrong flavour, wrong texture. Shame really, the evening started off so well with friendly bar staff and a nice atmosphere. We won't be going back. Needless to say, I left the majority of my meal and had a sandwich when i got home.

Went with hubby to day for lunch — value for money and quality 10/10 —good menu and specials board , spoilt for choice . Meal lovely and tasty and stayed hot all the way through. If I had one negative it would be the decor — quiet dark inside I think lighter paper and less brown wood would make a big difference — deffo be back

This time as always we went 3 times, for lunch once and twice for evening meal.

Always a warm welcome , and for a pub the food is excellent . Being dining here for at least 20 years and longer ( curtailed recently due to illness ) last visit was February and as good as ever , give it a try , have the Yorkshires for starters , follow it with the Homemade Steak and Kidney pie yum yum

Me and my partner cane here for the two courses for two at £17.95 last night, having not been for over a year! (Shame on us)!

We were advised to make a visit to the Punch Bowl for what was described as good home cooking. We went, we saw & we ate and will now recommend also. My partner ordered the full rack of ribs which were meaty and plentiful, meat almost falling off the bone. I ordered the Jumbo mixed grill which included a pork chop, lamb chop, gammon, sausage and what should be on all mixed grill's, liver. Perfectly cooked and very tasty. Good food, good service with a nice cold pint (or two). Excellent.

Another top meal in the punchbowl on valentine evening. Excellent food and lots of it. Great value for money. 10/10. Lovely friendly resteraunt. A must try.

The Punchbowl was friendly and had a warm welcome on a cold and blustery day. Not knowing what to expect we ordered a Sunday lunch. The place was busy but our dinner arrived with in ten minutes. Two vegetables', roast & mash potatoes, Yorkshire pudding,...

We called in around 12.30 on a sunny Sunday in January. There were some tables reserved but we found an empty table without any trouble. I had lasagne with jacket potato, peas and salad garnish and it was good, although the potato tasted as if...

Booked here for a table of 20 for a Saturday Night for a Family Meal. Not a problem. When we arrived the table was reserved and ready for us. We mostly ordered off the Two for £17.95 Menu(Starter/Main or Pudding/Main for two people) When we...

Went for a birthday dinner with friends on Saturday 18th January, when we got the food there was a hair in it, the two lads that had fetch the food out was not that bothered about this, not any of them apologised for the hair...

Went for a meal here last weekend. Lots of choices, so something for everybody. Made to feel very welcome. Large portion sizes, so no room for pudding. I had fish and chips which was perfectly cooked.

We went here with friends for dinner, lovely food, I had the duck which was delicious and my husband the fish and chips and friends the pie. All were good and my friend and I shared a delicious dessert. Great food.

What a fantastic experience of 1st class tasty piping hot food we enjoyed this evening at the PUNCH BOWL CLEETHORPES. Wheelchair friendly, A pre booked table for 6 was set up in the very warm and cosy Promenade lounge. my husband and I plus our 4 grown up g/children ordered different meals, all were served at the same time and came piping hot after our starters and it certainly did not disappoint . Thank for making our evening so pleasurable. Margaret Tomlinson and family Cleethorpes

This was our 11th visit and as always a very warm welcome. We came for lunch and later in the week for evening meal. Both were excellent, for lunch Tony had the all day breakfast and I had a jacket potato with Tuna Mayo, very tasty. For evening meal I had Cajun Chicken and Tony Chicken Kiev, then for sweet we both had Lemon Pie and Ice Cream. We travel 40 minutes to get there but always well worth it.

Had not been to Punchbowl for years not for any particular reason so thought we would try it for a light lunch mid week which is always a gamble when it is quiet. However we were pleasantly surprised. Extensive menu from light bite snacks to full blown roast dinner! We had light options but portions were large and more than enough! Heard other people saying how good their meal was and how much there was of it. Friendly staff too! Will definitely be back!

We visited here on here as a family on Sunday. Great service and great food. Cheap and cheerful prices we opted for the fish chips peas bread and butter and a hot drink 7.99 great value. My son had a pizza which was a little disappointing as it had been microwaved so was all soggy and not at all edible.

Arrived here after a year and was made to feel welcome, fantastic food and plenty of it, son loves their rack of ribs, I had roast, value for money, staff more than friendly and nothing to much trouble, went at a quiet time during the day. Will go back

I can't rate this place high enough, the food is brilliant. We've been recurring customers many times. Every time we come the staff are all really friendly and welcoming. Very high standards on every visit. I would highly recommend.

Food is lovely... big portions and all done to a high standard. Steak has always been my favourite at this pub! Nice atmosphere with sea view, staff are brilliant and friendly. Place is clean and tidy and all round a great place to eat. Will be back!!

Been today for my birthday meal with my family, every thing was excellent. Friendly staff cosy seating area with a pool table to entertain the kids. Definitely recommend the all day Breakfast, fish and chips and liver and sausage. Looking forward to our next trip.

Absolutely love this place and will keep returning. Food is real home cooked feel good food. They have choices for a cold evening or a summers day. You can eat or just have a drink and it is family friendly. Prices are very reasonable and offers are fab. Only downfall is the decor and furniture need a serious update

Just completed an hour of stand up paddle boarding and wanted a breakfast so nipped here with two other pals. Our visit was on a Sunday morning around 10.50am and we seemed to be the first in there. I ordered a full breakfast which came with toast, beans , 2 bacon , 2 sausages , mushrooms , 3 hash browns , 2 tomatoes. Also ordered a large Diet Coke. All this came to just over £9.00. The food it self wasn't bad. Quite well cooked and tasted good. The toast was quite poor. Really thin bread and not great quality bread either. The service was a little all over though. My friend managed to get his cup of tea before my Coke. I had to wait quite abit of time after him before the Coke around. Actually the Coke came after my food. Also had to remind the waiter that he forgot to bring toast. This came out around 5 minutes after the breakfast. I would return again because the food was ok. The service wasn't great but could have just caught it on an off day.

What a lovely place the fish and chips that my parents and I had were very, very good and the portions were extremely generous for the price. We would all recommend our friends and family it is well worth a visit.

Although the prices in here are certainly value for money,unfortunately none of the three of us enjoyed our fish and chip meals,the fish and strangely the chips as well were tasteless,even after adding quite a bit of salt. One star only for food prices I'm afraid.

Glad we ignored the horrible comments, the staff were spot on, very friendly and made us feel welcome. We had the 2 meals for £17.95 (starter & main course or main course and dessert). I had the lasagne and chips and chocolate fudge cake, it was all homemade and yummy and my partner had the steak and ale pie and chips and the chocolate fudge cake, and he said it was absolutely delicious. We are definitely going again, it was spot on.

Good food, good service. They will alter the majority of menu items to suit you, adding things for items you don't want.

The staff were very pleasant, the atmosphere was great and the food was excellent would highly recommend the establishment to friends and family.
