Ship Inn in East Lindsey

Absolute excellent pub fantastic welcome from the owners great beer and there is also a small caravan park at the rear

First time we stayed stayed for 2weeks amenities adequate lovely pub with fantastic staff very friendly will definitely be going back good bus service Denise and Dave

Great staff very friendly beers very good

We have been going to the ship Inn for many years when the kids were little, so would be over 30 years, we popped in on the 21st July 24, it is not the same pub at all, the toilets were filthy, no locks on toilet doors, didn't look as though they had been cleaned for months, the standard has definitely dropped, will not be going there again, TERRIBLE

Just a pub. Good ale, clean, nice staff.

Popped in for a drink. Very friendly staff and quiet atmosphere. Nice place all round.

Great pub with a good selection of beer 🍺

Been going to ship inn for 8 years now to have drink with friends went mat 17 2024 absolutely terrible really dirty place peeling paint of walls smells terrible, all food is from herons freezer shop no fresh veg and charging the earth for it, asked for Coors lager it was awfull one of the blokes in the pub told us it isnt coors it's a cheap larger there selling I think this land lord who took over last year has just let it go, if you want a nice drink and meal go to the jockey over road lot cleaner better beer and food

Went in for drinks and food, ordered a drink was put off straight away. Dirty, really really loud karaoke, you had to shout to have a conversation. Bar lady poured herself a pint from the barrel change pitcher with a mixture of beers in and went round the back to drink it. Give up on the food. Go to the jockey brilliant there. Never again….

When for carvery an one of the worst I’ve had food was cold meat was over cook an cold frozen Yorker again clod roast potato’s hard all veg cold only thing that was hot was the gravy

The boss is absolutely disgusting with all his staff and abuses them and everyone leaves becuase of him and the pub is always dirty

Frantic. To meet up with friends

Been here a few times for Wed night bingo. Lots of arguments and fighting going off with locals. Never visiting again.. And I advise people to keep away

My partner and myself had the carvery. In all was really nice especially at £6 per person. The drinks on the other hand. Not so good........ My partner had fosters. That's was all Good. But my coke was I can only say. Very much tasted watered down. No biggy but a shame. The only thing that was strange I'd that the coke was poured out of sight. Which definitely set alarm bells ringing....

My family and I were on holiday in Lincolnshire and wanted to see Ingoldmells again. We arrived at The Ship at lunchtime. We perused the menu and we all decided on the Gammon, Egg, Chips, Peas and Side Salad. Everything was perfect and the chips were to die for, no frozen. They were hand cooked and fried perfectly. The waiting staff were very pleasant. I would highly recommend this lovely pub what serve delightful meals to anyone seeking a good place to eat and drink. The Gammon meal was £16.00 for 2 and was beautifully cooked.

Me ,my wife and my 12 year old daughter went to this place in August 2023 to enjoy the bingo and the auction. As we was sat down we was approached by a elderly lady stating that this was "hers and her husbands table" and said "there was plenty of other tables to sit" we refused to move as we wanted a good spot to see the auction items. She then proceeded to to her "friends" on the next table that she couldn't sit there as the "tourist" was sat in there spot. She then sat at another table clearly talking about us to other people. The woman and her husband all afternoon was glaring at us with dirty looks, my daughter who is 12 years old felt very intimidated. That was 1 incident, now for the 2nd... All afternoon I was drinking carling and been charged £3.50 per pint. I went to the bar again and was charged £3.90, when I asked the barman he replied "its because your a tourist"!!! I looked around to see if this was stated anywhere that the locals get a cheaper price and it didn't. Can I please state that this is ILLEGAL!!!. The management need to train their staff correctly and need to remind the locals that if it wasn't for us "tourist" you wouldn't have a pub!!! This please needs a visit from trading standards and the health and hygiene. I never leave a bad review but on this occasion I felt it needed to be put out there. Will me and my family ever visit again? WILL I HELL AS LIKE!! Do yourself a favour and don't bother because you will NOT be made welcome and you will need to wipe your feet on the way out!!!

Not been in for many years. Needed to eat as we had been let down elsewhere, glad we were. Steak pie,home cooked chips and peas absolutely lovely. My son had burger which he said was lovely and looked hand made. Karaoke was on, bar was really busy but food came relatively quickly and was great. Xxx thank you.

Firstly your put off by a £5 price tag to park, before being told we dont pay if we drink or eat! Wish we had driven past so where do i start Well the man. ( in his 50s) would rather serve blond big titted woman rather then who was first at the bar, and was bery rude to the extent of ignoring people Young lad was very polite asked if we had been before which we had end of last season. Apparently its new owners now. Well maybe they need to learn customer service . Went to order from the special menu 2 veg lasagne and 2 beef lasagne to be told very rudely we dont do a veg one. When clearly advertised! So we ask if anymore carrots would be coming out for the carvery to be told NO it stops in half hour. So we quickly downed our pints and began to leave before the ghastly loud woman began to continue to speak over the microphone. However 30 seconds round the corner is the lovely quiet amazing food and customer service at the countryman.

Well what can I sat. Always go in there for Karaoke with Debbie, but now she is only on Friday (till Bingo) and Sundays, well that has killed a great night on a Saturday!

Popped in on Tuesday for breakfast with my husband. 2 breakfast one single one double 1 coke and a coffee for £11. The food was amazing. Went back Friday for breakfast before leaving to go home. Still same amazing food. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be going back there when we next at the coast.

A kind gent told us about this fab breakfast, so we went down sat morning, what can I say a standard breakie £1.95 or double up for £3.49, the young lady serving was so friendly. We had a suprise 60th Birthday disco sat afternoon up the road but asked if we could reserve a table for 12 people at 7.30, no problem for them. We get there about half 7, the table reserved, the food was Amazing, proper chips fabulous steak, a good menu and so reasonably priced. Everything was brilliant, lovely outside space for warmer days, toilets immaculately clean, give it a visit, we'll cert be back when we're in the area. They also had karaoke on the sat eve

Potato skins so burnt you couldn’t cut though them, baguette was burnt and tasteless. Salad tasted out of date. Coke had no flavour. Overall no atmosphere, outdated decor. For the food you receive prices pretty steep at £8 for a low quality meal.

Went for breakfast this morning never been before paid for two big breakfasts waited 50 minutes well it came out no sausage no mushrooms and beans and tomatoes cold egg rock hard spoke to manager he went to kitchen came back and said we have run out of everything didn’t offer a refund so we left all the food if I was you I wouldn’t touch this place with a barge pole shocking service. They had two kids serving both below 10 years old when a customer complained he was told to get out

Worst Sunday lunch ever. Thought these disappeared years ago. Only 2 meats available not even half way through service (should of been only 1 as gammon was bits swimming in grease/oil in bottom of pan. Staff seemed peed off. Veg all under water, no cauli, no peas, awful broccoli, stuffing balls and yorki puddings frozen. AVOID. Customers walked out infront of us waiting to get served at the bar.

AVOID!! Staff beyond rude, certainly not a pub for tourists, the toilets are beyond dirty and grim. The bar man needs help in customer service!! He allowed a young child to play with a ball in the bar and he kicked it across the pub taking all our drinks out!! Personally that was irritating but the spillage had drenched my bag with over £900 worth of mobiles in there (mine and my partners) I asked the bar man for a cloth for myself, my bag and my mobiles to which he actually said NO!! I actually thought he was joking, he eventually came and wiped the table, shouted at my partner for 'standing up '? I asked him again for a cloth and he said, I've already told you NO!!.... Vile place, Vile customer service. Which is a shame, the two landlady's during lockdown were amazing!! This lad has managed to ruin a pub on his own, he needs sacking before he runs the place into the ground. He also lucky after drying out our mobiles they are working or he would have got the bill!!

Was gonna eat in this place but there car park being full meant we parked next door and popped in to get some change due to Ingoldmells being so behind the times cash payment only , was told they only give change to people who's car is parked in there already full car park , so that attitude from the rather rude bar person has left them without 50 pound of would of spent , they must earn to much money to be so rude

Slamming it down so took puppy in pub for couple of drinks. Asked to move after already being served as dogs have to in separate area..fair enough. This area was a tight seating place right on top of the speakers...when we heard someone being told their dog wants to go home cos its making too much noise...occasional barking which I do believe 🐕s do...no idea how it was heard over the booming speakers... made rest of us feel uncomfortable as all our dogs were capable of barking... if you that bothered by dog noise the sort out an outside area that's covered in rain..... ridiculous. I was so amazed gave it 1 🌟

We visited this pub as two couples, at first sat inside but had to move outside because of stench from the toilets. Plastic glasses poor service appalling hygiene an absolute disgrace. When we complained they just wedged toilet door closed to keep in smells.

Was staying in Village for the weekend on holiday - first time we called about 18.45 had our dogs with us, because busy inside we decided to sit outside - to be told by staff that they would come out to us - after 10...

Arrived after food serving time but they squeezed 6 of us in. they were really polite. we stayed for drinks even though we weren't going to, we liked it that much

My family stopped at this pub for a few drinks whilst holidaying in Ingoldmells. There was 7 of us in total, and we all had a couple of drinks outside in the beer garden. We purchased nuts etc, however, my sister who is a severe...

went there for Sunday lunch had to go to another part of the bar to pay for food only to be given a cold plate for the carvery meat was tough five small baked potatoes and a batter pudding ,will not be returning

Ordered the 10oz steak and diane sauce and it was massive! It was super super tasty and really well cooked Also ordered the chocolate brownie sundae and it really was the BEST i have ever tasted! Couldn't fault at all. Great value for money.

this is the second year on the trot that we have eaten here and on both times the food was very nice and at a very good price and staff very friendly

Ate here October 2018 half term with my family. Food awful Service awful And to top it off my elderly relative was verbally abused by bar staff. Give a wide berth until new owners are found

Lovely pub spacious and welcoming, close enough to Butlins but not in walking distance! Can’t comment on food sadly! But staff all friendly, polite and happy to serve everyone 🤗

I would just like to thank Liz and the staff for entertaining our 12 year old daughter tonight we had taken her there for a birthday meal nothing was to much trouble for Liz she bought out our cake and bought my daughter a drink...

Waited Over an hour for food .over cooked food and Poor management getting every order wrong please avoid go to another pub

Came in with my boyfriend wasn't very busy but sat down as it was a Wednesday afternoon. Lady was very nice who served us. However the food was shocking had About 1oz of steak and 1oz of fat spread across a whole baguette and what...

Well the place was empty and I can see why! Hunters chicken the chicken was so hard it was barely edible the gammon should of been advertised as gristle it was awful more fat than meat and the onion rings was full of fat and...

The poo inn.....my mouth! Gotta be the worse steak I've ever seen in my life! Grey Pigeon is what it looked like, not a steak at all!

popped in for tea whilst on holiday,we ordered 2 10oz rump steaks,peppercorn sauce,i must say it was the best steak i've had in ages,the plates were full,chips,peas,salad,onion rings etc,well worth the £26 or thereabouts it cost,pub atmosphere,so if expecting silence when eating it's not for you,but if you want a decent meal in a boozer then it is,will we go back,of course we will,love it.

Lovely friendly family oriented venue. Friendly staff. Varied entertainment according to seasons. Well placed near beach, bus stops etc.

We went to the ship inn primarily because the sign said Cask Ales. Not a hand pull on the bar. We had fish & chips, cup of tea and s bread bun. 2 for £12 it wasn't the worst I've ever had. Cheap and cheerful. It was really noisy, so or you wanted a chat it was difficult. Plenty of car parking, no cask ales

ADVERTISED AS SIZZLING PUB ON FB - THEY ARE NOT

Parked our car here whilst going shopping for a small charge and on return popped in for a couple of drinks.Place was quiet busy as weather was good. Service was okay so where drinks. Place is looking a bit tired though,all in all okay.

Un salto para una noche pinta y volver la siguiente noche a jugar al bingo, más tarde en la semana llevé a mi esposa y mi hijo para una comida. Mi esposa tenía un plowmans, mientras que yo y mi hija de 12 años tenía 2 por £12, tuve la parrilla mezcla mini y mi hijo tenía 1 / 2 costillas de puerco, la comida era excelente y el personal era educado y amable

Vinimos aquí por un asador hoy como teníamos 3 cumpleaños en mi familia, así trataron todos nosotros para una comida que se suponía que iba a ser especial. Desde el momento que entramos en la señorita que nos servía era grosero, brusco y tan miserable....

Yo vivo en local y han utilizado el barco cuando los amigos vienen de visita, ya que puede llegar allí y tomar algunas bebidas sin coche. Lo único que tiene la culpa de este pub es el propietarios y personal, parece que nunca una sonrisa...

we popped in to the ship on our way back to butlins after spending the afternoon at the market,i had steak,very nice,the wife had a jacket potato with prawns,also very nice,very reasonable prices too,good selection of beers available,large car park too,will go again and not drive so i can sample the beers,it was a pleasant change from fish and chips in a clean,friendly pub.

Went here with friends on bank holiday Sunday. We all had the carvery, the meat was dry, cabbage & carrots under cooked, yorkshire puddings were tough, the gravy had lumps, no new potatoes left and roast potatoes were sitting in fat. The lady serving the carvery was abrupt and rude. I know it was busy being bank holiday but the customers are important and bring the money in. The John Smiths beer was weak. We were sat in a corner at the back of the pub and asked if they could open a window as it was very hot we were told they couldn't as they opened on to the outside area where people smoked. The toilets were dirty and had not been checked for some time. We will not be back

With my wife and bro we called in for a few drinks .Friendly staff and the pub is quite clean .Decent beer choice and kept well.For an old pub it's ok .

Stopped here for beer on my Stag weekend.. Several of thr lads had a game of bingo. Nice little pub at the end (or start, depending which way you came in) of Sea Lane. very much a pub for locals so was quieter than the rest of Sea Lane. Beer was reasonably priced and over all a pleasant atomphere.

This was the best food we had over 2 weeks (30/07/16 - 13/08/16). We went on the 10/8, and paid £2 to park all day 500m from fantasy island this money was returned when we ordered from the bar (free parking). The food was wonderful, 2x roast of the day, 1 burger + chips, 2 × kids nugets and chips and a giant pudding with mash peas and sausage. They got the mash wrong at first and gave chips but this was sorted instantly and was very professional. The place was clean and staff friendly (rear around the skegness area). We all got drinks and all less than £38 with parking returned.

I have passed this venue many times and I love the look of the building. It's an Art Deco building just great to look at.I have never been in before and today 15/03/2016 thought I would have a look.The service was great and the menu looked appealing prices good and the portion size was value for money.While I was there I could see the female manager or supervisor eating her lunch / dinner at the end of the bar.I was completely turned of as in the 30 min she was sat there she blew her nose picked it wiped her mouth with her hand and then started to pick at her ears as she had something wrong with them I think.When her break was up she then went behind the bar and started to serve again. At no point did she wash her hands.I I'll never visit this bar again or have food from here.

Crap asked bar staff to change and was wondering what I was asking for as I'm a nob drink and food olive crap

Stumbled across this when nowhere else was serving meals so didn't expect much. We got 5oz rump, monster mixed grill and a child's meal plus three drinks, £21 and all were really lovely steaks were excellent (wish I'd got the 10oz lol) pleasant atmosphere

Family meal Great food great staff not to expensive, worth a visit if you Skegness best place we found to eat at thank you

What a beautiful place to eat and drink the service from Drew and his team is impeccable wether you are just popping in for a drink or a meal in the dining roomProper English pub long may it reign well done Drew you are a true gentleman

It might look run down and been there for decades but the food and the beer are excellent. The portions are enough for the hungry person to. price not bad either for the size.

Parked in pub car park to go to ingoldmels market and was told we would get the parking money back if we ate there in the next two hours, so thought we would give it a try. Glad we did Had great meals at reasonable prices everyone really enjoyed them and staff were friendly and helpful. Will visit again when in ingoldmels. Bonus to park for free also

Good Sunday Carvery at a good price, well kept bar with a good range of drinks, the staff are first rate, kept clean and tidy, plenty of room for wheelchairs, a family room.

Just had a fab weekend in Skeg and stopped of the way homeFood was fab, great portions at a good price. (I recommend the sizzling steak)Pub is spacious clean with friendly atmosphere.I would definitely recommend and will be visiting again!!!

Nine people from a friendship group went to the Ship for their Christmas lunch. Some had the fixed price two course lunch, others a one plate, but all food was served up promptly, and hot, No complaints at all, except some people found the portions too large. Pleasant dining area off the main bar, which was cheerfully decorated for Christmas.

Called in for Sunday lunch carvery, 2 for ten pounds, ok you would think. two very thin slices of pork - not good enough Ship very disappointing, rest of veg was watery but hot. table was clean enough though. Won't be going again.

We was looking for a place that wasn't just carvery on Sunday before a drive home to Norwich and I must say the steak and Guinness pie was amazing with the beautiful thick tastie gravy my partner and cousins partners had burgers the coleslaw was rank but that's wasn't enough to put us off the only reason I didn't put a 5* is the fact they have a massive car park but it's closed off to the public

Had a drive to Skegness this weekend decided to stop off at the ship inn, ingoldmells. On arrival to the pub/restaurant our first impression was a clean exterior with large amount of parking available. We ordered our drinks, service was very polite. Our food came and me and our partner both ordered the steak. Both came at a reasonable time. Both steaks were cooked to how we asked. As a overview we were very happy with our meal and service at the ship inn not sure if some of the other comments went to the same place as us but we enjoyed it

Unedable food all round main mini grill crimated desert never been custard like a paste not nice at all, sponge sad, overall the worste I've ever had

Lured in by the offers on the boards outside of sunday carvery of 2 for £10 we chose too eat at the ship rather than other places we had seen. Not great food was mostly all frozen food used not fresh and the meat very dry. Drinks prices reasonable so may call for drinks in future but not for food.

I have been going to this pub going back years from when i was a kid right upto last week. I went there for a meal, which USED to be nice. I ordered 2 turkey dinners, one for myself, one for my partner. Food arrived, i took a bite of what looked like microwave turkey slices, only to spit it out, it tasted extremely gone off, old, much worse it stank. The coming from it was disgusting, not one to moan we ate the rest of the veg etc leaving the turkey, then our friends tried it and agreed, realising i'd spent £18 i had to say something, i felt ripped off. I went to the bar to tell a girl who didnt seem that suprised, but practically blamed us for eating the rest and now she cant do anything. She said 'we would have brought you a replacement' (only for me to be more poisoned!!) she refused to offer me even a partial refund, not one of us will ever return here again, and its a shame as we went here every holiday for a drink.My advice, AVOID.

We went trying to use car park off where you pay £2 for parking and redeem the £2 if you buy food was told you could use it all day ordered our food and they would not allow us to use it apparently you have an hour to use it. We continued anyway as we were looking forward to a pub meal. Wished we had not bothered food was expensive for what it was cheap produce all microwaved did not even finished meal. Very poor

Quite disappointed! We stumbled across this pub and thought we might try, outside it said "home cooked meals"....quite the opposite. The meals in fact were microwave meals and for the price we paid we expected better quality. My partner and I had large Yorkshire puddings with mash, sausage and peas which you could tell were the cheapest products that could have been used. I think by having a better executed menu this could be a lovely pub.

Ditch the microwave,says home made food but in our opinion was processed, very poor products for expensive prices,was looking forward to my ploughmans, in other pubs lovely ham in this pub cheap square packet ham and pre grated packet cheese, chicken tikka very poor think they forgot the chicken,

found this pub while out and about taking in the sights popped in for a drink nice friendly pub bar staff very polite nice friendly atmosphere

Great place in Skeg!! Nice area for the kids to play with grab machines & very spacious too all round
