Skipworth Arms in West Lindsey

Booked a pitch for 2 days in our motorhome. Easy to book, texts from staff were helpful and informative when booking. Nothing was too much trouble. Although next to a train line, the noise was not intrusive, it is a nice peaceful site. Hedges around the pitches were nicely maintained. Delighted that there was live entertainment on the Saturday night, the excellent Cardee. Pub is great, plenty of choice. No food but able to order takeaway for delivery to site. Again the staff were helpful and welcoming. There's fishing on site (although the weather was awful so we will need to go back to try it 😊). Well worth a visit, would highly recommend.

Went camping for 2 nights, absolutely loved it, Shaky was brilliant and the pub on site was great. Friendly staff, we will definitely return

Stayed here bank holiday weekend whilst working at Cadwell. The site itself is ok, nice views and the lake is very pretty, facilities are clean & showers hot - need modernising but being clean is all that really matters. Didn’t go in the pub, except for checking in as we didn’t have time so I can’t express a review on that. The downside to the site is the tent pitches are dangerously close and not within regulations at all. The pitches are small squares marked out with spray paint on the ground. If there was a fire, the lot would go up. Health & safety need to sort this. We luckily only brought our smaller tent with us but if we had brought the bigger family one we wouldn’t have even fit it on the pitch. Cars are to park behind the pitches and are literally nose to nose and crammed in because there is that little an amount of room. Noise rules are not enforced at all. We didn’t sleep all weekend (not the best when we were actually there for work rather than a holiday) because the groups of people were up till 3 & 4am with very loud music and shouting & balling and falling out between them. I’m all for people having fun on holiday, we do too, and we met some lovely people in the caravans on the same part as us, but it’s a family site and some consideration needs to be had for other people on the site and the staff need to be enforcing what it says are the rules of their site. Could be a great site with some changes and improvements.

Skipworth arms is a very friendly site, Shakey iis the face you will see around the site he will help with anything nothing is too much trouble he will bend over backwards to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. The pub is great especially when they have bands on,

Booked on through the app.. got a call from Stuart a few minutes after just to let us know there was a bikers festival on with a live band and would be noisy till about 11.,30pm he met us atthe front and walked round in front of motorhome so could get through the crowd and showed us to our pitch.. very nice and honest guy we cant fault him.. did tell us the shower block wasnt the best but was ok.. would deffo visit again without a doubt. He also said the food from the van was decent so we tried it and yes it was good... cant beat honesty... thanks Stuart.

Stayed for one night in our campervan, cheap as chips to stay the night and the pub was fantastic. We was made to feel very welcome by the regulars in there and had a good laugh and a game of pool :) beer was fantastic and we loved the layed back atmosphere, will definitely be back soon :)

Visited a few times now, such a lovely place, always welcomed, relaxed environment, all staff excellent, the young girl serving the table drinks is a credit to the place. Will definitely be back soon.

On website they confirm the kitchen is closed however they fail to mention the whole pub is non functional! The pub is serving beer from a mysterious source and closes at 22.00 every night, still hiding behind Covid! It’s a pointless existence and if you thinking of camping next door to go to the pub forget it!! Rubbish!!!

What a weekend we had the staff made us feel welcomed and helped us get set up sorted the electric out for us. Campsite is brill kids can run around have fun the pitch was fine had no trouble putting the van on there everything you need for a cheap break away will be returning. Had a karaoke sunday night was amazing people up dancing to party songs even us oldies. The karaoke man think is name is bob was brill had every song we wanted made us feel comfortable.he got up and got everyone involved went out his way to make the kids feel ok about singing will be booking again for summer cant wait well done skipwort arms

really good beers, awesome bar staff, bar food...Saturday night entertainment ,camping ,fishing, parking,what more would you want

Well I don't really know where to start only that the camping site there should be closed down. It was disgusting. The toilet block needs condemning. It was never cleaned in the 2 days we could stand been there. There was spider's over spider's the showers where mouldy. The toilets where brown all but 2 and they where broken and mucky. The site is right next to a train track with frat trains going all night every hr so no sleep. The pond is full of weed so u can't fish (only on 2 pegs) and that is near the overflowing bin. And then when night hits there is days everywhere. The full place is like a junk yard and they have the cheap to charge u for electric. Which is very over run. We complained to the cleaner but got nowhere. I booked it on pitch up and they have removed it. But never got my money back. These are the pictures of the side and believe me it was bad.i have more but will only let me put 10 on. I don't even want to give it 1 star but I have to as it won't do any less.

nice site with fishing pond and pub,totally let down by diabolical showers & toilet block.Filthy ,faeces left smeared on loo walls for days,showers seen better days ,mouldy ,dirty .....really bad smell of sewage.Corner of our field had cess pit to tip caravan toilets down which just had a tatty wooden lid over it.Pub staff were lovely ,locals in pub were noisey lots of swearing .Fishing pond had unsupervised small children running riot round it till it was dark.Wont be returning ,shame as it has the potential to be such a good site with a little more effort and a damned good clean.

Shocking incident on site, I'm not going to elaborate but scared my kids and resulted in an arrest so pretty bad. owner and his mother promised to refund but 3 months later they still haven't despite being promised it would happen three times! Been a few times before and recommended it to others but never again.

What a find!! Loverly small site very clean and a on going project. Fishing lake is brilliant lots of good carp and tench . Had a band on in pub on sat night who were really good . Yes the louder and shower block have seen better days. But most caravans have showers in so not a issue. But they were clean and it is a ongoing project so they will be renewed . Will definitely go again

HI guys well just had my first weekend away in our bessy for a shake down to make sure every thing was still working fine and yes it worked well but we went to a site in moor town nr caistor lincs the place was called the ship worth arms all i will say is don't go there the shower block was disgusting as were the loo's the site was full of pot holes and it rained while we were there so large puddles every where there was a lake which had nice fish but the lake had no fence round to stop children going in or falling in the place was littered with dog mess and to top it they advertise they do food and they don't they where rude as the site electricity went down and they blamed me it was the post as it was a card payment on post and £5.00 lasted around 13 hour's they also said they would refund what was left but only if it was on your card so i have renamed it the S IT WORTH ARMS Rant over and if this post is offensive to any one please remove thanks

Staff and customers very welcoming and friendly, even though I was a first time visitor to the Skipworth Arms. I would visit this pub and campsite again, if I was ever to return to the area.

A lovely location with a great selection of drinks and food. Has a fishing area and a camp/caravan site behind the pub. A warm welcome.

Paramos aquí ya que hay un camping en la parte trasera del pub, el Camping está al lado de la zona de caravanas es sólo básico, pero tiene todo lo que necesitas ducha con inodoros y gancho eléctrico si usted lo necesita. El pub se merece una visita por el personal amable y buena comida y bebida también hay música en vivo casi todos los fines de semana. La ubicación es tranquila, aunque hay una línea de tren corriendo a lo largo de la web, no es una línea ocupada y no nos molestaron en una tienda. Es un par de millas de mercado Rasen donde hay muchas tiendas para comprar artículos esenciales, Lincoln está a unos 18 km de distancia. Algunos fines de semana tienen festivales de música u otros eventos que se celebran dentro de una zona de acampada en el campo, así que sería aconsejable pedir cuando haga su reserva. En general tuvimos una buena par de noches y me alojaría allí de nuevo.

This is a great camp site for family's and for fishing the Skipworth arms pub offer a great service and the food is really good to the staff are really friendly and it's not for from cleethorpes if you want a trip out its only 16 miles away and easy to get to it took me 30 minutes to get there

Mi pareja y yo estuvimos hace poco en el campamento, los brazos skipworth buena comida a un precio muy razonable, muy acogedor y el personal cortés, camping limpia fácil de encontrar y buenos servicios básicos.

Visited in group of 4 toures 2 tents each containing adults and children aged from 1 to 14 site level good sized pitches I only ever review on first visit to a place as I think this is a fare way to do things site is clean and well maintained toilet blocks have around 8 toilets 5 showers in both male and female theses where clean and modern and never question once although the electric side was full and none electric about three quarters full all kids had a good time and were free to run about field the fishing pond was fenced off from main site great for little ones the pud is a proper olddie worldie pub like they used to be before all these big chains took over and they lost there sole we all ate in the pub first night there was something on the menu for us all its not an extensive menu but you could only do that if you had everything pre packed and what I call plastic food yes we waited for our order but you even have to wait at home don't you unless you find s pub run by a clairvoyant who can as the spirts what you would like before you arrive the good was good and fantastically priced the pub was decorated the same way nearly all country pubs are and I did not find one sticky table locals were friendly not rude or roudy unlike some other guests shower were a bit dribbly but we managed all in all I have paid a lot more for a lot worse lovely site will visit agai and will recommend to others

27 de mayo de vacaciones banco parado Web excelente baños y ducha con agua caliente muchas. Y

Bien, qué lugar tan encantador. Unos 40 parcelas para tiendas y caravanas. Un inodoro / zona de ducha era básica, pero estaba muy limpia y recién construido. El sitio actual está muy bien cuidado y una encantadora zona de estanque donde se puede pescar si quieres. Ventaja tener un pub en el lugar (que puede tomar sus perros).

Having called in for a drink when we were out for a ride we thought it would be a good...

La tercera visita a este pub y mejora cada vez. Tenía el domingo carne de cena que sabía a carne y buenas porciones generosas encantadoras y licitación (como la abuela solía hacer). Hasta me dieron (gratis) dos carecía de pan para terminar la salsa correctamente...

Only 1 shower and toilet . 1 male / 1 female for the whole site . This was shut down for 24 hours so had to use the pub toilets . I was on my own with 2 teenagers so ended up unable to shower . There were families with small children & babies also on site .approx 25+ tents/caravans The block was rotting . Dirty and covered in mould . When asked if any other facilities said building new block but that was no good for our visit !! Staff that worked there . Polite but had no influence on repairs ?

2nd time at the skipworth camping and we love it, end of the day you get what you pay for and for £10 per night what are people realy expecting. Sue and Stuart have been friendly on both occasions as was the locals. Yes the place might need a bit of work doing on it and they are trying to get things doneWent in for sunday lunch and it was lovely we will definatly be returnung in a couple of weeks.

Hi all writing this because every time I've been I've always had good fun enjoyed the environment the fishing pond and the staff to me has been good I went a few times last year been again for the skipfest and would definitely go again showers was lovely and hot apart from the floor been a bit dirty but I'm not fussy had a good laugh with the bar staff the locals welcomed me too.

Having visited this place and read some of the negative reviews I can honestly say most of it is true.The facilities are not up to standard.The pub is dated and the tables are sticky.The camping pitches are covered in sand.The locals were drunk and aggressive when we visited. However this place does have potential and it is obvious the owners are spending some money improving things such as the toilet facilities and rules regarding the fishing. I feel this place has reached a point where it either cuts ties with the awful locals that drink and intimidate the staying guests or accepts its a local and continue to provide for these people as it previously has done. We won't visit again purely due to the screaming, shouting and threats heard in the early hours from the 'regulars' who are quick to remind paying guests they have more rights than them.We can't comment on the food as we didn't eat here and the pub wasn't welcoming with small children due to the loud sweary locals so we can not comment on that

The campsite:So me, my sister, our pet dog and mother were camping for one night during the weekend. On arrival we gave in our money and had the choice to choose the plot to set our gear down.we had to take up two plots due to having one giant tent and two small tents.The location was not bad due to having a pond not to far by to walk by or going fishing in, however what took all of us by surprise was something we did not come across in any other reviews, the campsite is right on the side of a train track! and the trains go by are rather small passenger trains with 2 carriages or a big cargo train with 15 to 20 carriages of cargo, However they did not carry on through the night (Thank the lord)The residents were very nice and helpful. As me and my sister were putting up are tent a man staying the caravan in the plot over to us offered us a cuppa, meanwhile another women offered us to borrow her hammer so we could hammer are wind braker's down. However down side was the toilets that are for the campers. They were filthy causing all of us to use the pub toilets, but once the pub was shut in the night the women's toilets were lock only to be opened with a number code that had not been given to us on arrival so throughout the night we had to hold it in till the pub was back open.The PubThe pub is very small and too me look very unclean I can not give anymore information about the pub due to having food outside cos we had a dog with us.I'm just going to warn you now, don't order food from here cos honestly the chef was one angry person coming out serving the food. However we all realized that the waitress and the staff were very rude and did not care if they were rude. My mum had asked for the menu and the waitress responded in a rude tone giving all the food that was not available, which was most the food on the menu. However we were able to find something we could eat and my mum and sister went to order why I looked after the dog. My mum and sister came back laughing once they heard the chef say "I can not be bothered defrosting a fish for them". however it got worse, once the food arrived with both the chef and the same waitress that served us. The chef literately threw the gammon at my sister before storming back. My sister said to the waitress "what's her problem" only to get daggers from her, however my sister returned the daggers back (if looks could kill aye). OverallOverall the campsite is fine and bearable for anyone, location is fine and the people who stay can be very friendly however I would highly recommend to be prepared if you want food from that pub cos all you will get back is a rude waitress and a angry chef that would even scare sir Ramsay himself. I would recommend the campsite to my friends only to tell them to avoid the pub on the site.

The award? My award for the dirtiest, most disgusting pub I've ever been in during my lifetime. We were on a countryside walk and decided to call in for a quick half. As we took our drinks, one of the 'regulars', clearly drunk, was using the filthiest language imaginable to his audience of two. I politely asked if he'd be kind enough to refrain from swearing in front of my wife. Remarkably, he denied it until his audience (I'm reluctant to call them his mates) confirmed it. We sat at a table and as we placed our hands and arms on the table, noticed a 'sticky' feeling as we removed them. Ugh. This table had been wiped, but not actually cleaned with detergent in a long, long time. The pub is dirty, dilapidated and the decor is untouched since about 1984. This type of establishment simply can't be of this world for much longer, surely. No wonder that it only ever has one car parked outside.

Just had a great weekend camping at the Skipworth Arms. I had been there about 12 months ago and found the site to be clean tidy and extremely friendly, so after reading the comments on here I decided to go back and have another look. To my surprise there has been a lot of work carried out and it was looking even better. Stuart and Sue the family owners were really friendly and the food was excellent, I had the mixed grill. Stuart was working on a new toilet and shower block, which when it's finished will make a huge difference to the camping side of there business. I do feel sorry for Stuart and Sue and family because it does look like they have become victims on trip advisor with no right to reply. Please people I travelled from Liverpool to check this out, go yourselves and make your mind up, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Just one more quick comment, the Skipworth Arms don't do weddings never have done and probably never will.

We have just had a fantastic weekend at the Skipworth Arms Moortown .After reading the reviews I must admit I was a bit dubious about the place but decided to try it after a friend said it was good, and am I glad I did.On arrival we went into the pub and was met by Sue who explained to us were we was to be sited and explained the rules of the campsite which BTW was just the usual campsite rules. we then set up the caravan and was very impressed with the site all hard standing with electric near the fishing pond and the pub I thought I was in heaven.We then decided to have a dangle in the pond and we saw some decent size carp swimming about, after a few hours of good fishing I decided to have a quick shower and get some food.The shower block was a bit basic only 1 shower but it was clean and the water was hot and the site is in the middle of erecting a new shower block on the campsite.Anyway off to the pub for some food decent menu good prices so we ordered our food I just fancied Sausage Egg and chips the rest had cheese and brocoli pasta bake , braised steak with chips and a mixed grill, the barmaid brought us our drinks and about 15 mins later Sue brought out our meals and what meals they was they were huge and very tasty .By this time the artist started to entertain in the main bar area so off we went to see ,carnt remember his name Howard something but he was good looked and sang a lot like Neil Diamond. The pub was quite busy as the campsite was fairly full and we had a good old sing song few beers Great night was had by all.If you want a good friendly family campsite with good food , entertainment and friendly helpfull staff the this is the place to visit>I dont know where the bad reports stayed but it was definatly not at the Skipworth Arms we will be back there as often as we can Thank you Stuart and Sue for a great time see you soon

We have placed our Caravan on this site, which is very friendly, clean, tidy and well organised. There's a nice pub on site which has entertainment on a Saturday night and serves very good evening meals or Sunday lunch.There's also fishing on site. The owners of the sit are currently up grading the facilities eg; toilets and showers. The shower block will be disabled friendly and will also house Laundry facilities. Our friends from Liverpool stayed on site with us this weekend and really enjoyed themselves.

Arrived for our booking at 6.30 for a family\friend meal for my dad who is unwell. This was a great chance to have a good catch up with friends that had travelled 100's of miles for this. No greet on arrival. As this was a resturant you would expect waitress service well thats not the case you get handed a pen and paper to do it yourself!! sat enjoying a drink and the food started to arrive. one by one out they came completely not how described on the menu. lasagne was a cottage pie just with a sheet on and cheese,not a very good one at that. steaks well lets not go there!! The staff are very rude with endless amounts of tutting and slaming doors.Not all dishes arrived my 8.40 so up we got and left without paying. this skip should not be allowed to serve food. this is what i would call a excellent review for this place.management need to sort it. also they need to learn how to cook and how to say a simple word like sorry!!! never will i step foot in this place agian.

OMG AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!!!! Is all I can say about this place!! As someone who has been brought up and worked in catering/hospitality most my life I would be extremely embarrassed and ashamed to say I work here never mind being the owner of this establishment!!! Let me start with our arrival this table had been booked a couple of weeks ago for 11 of us. On arrival we entered the what seemed to be bar side. 2 of our children were standing in the walk way while we were trying to figure out where it was that we should be sitting and the cook came storming out of the kitchen carrying food shouting and I do mean shouting at our 2 children and another child not in our party to get out the way, she then retreated to the kitchen and a few minutes later returned to inform us our table was round the other side of the bar and she directed us. The table was set out nicely and menu/specials look very nice. As myself, partener and son had travelled a nearly 5 hour journey from Scotland to see our friends we were rather hungry and looking forward to our meals as were the rest of our party! It ended up that there was an additional 2 so we added another table to ours which wasn't a problem as we seemed to be the only table booked in for food. The women and children Sat down while the men stood at the bar ordering drinks once that had been done and everyone had decided what they were eating we had to write down our own order and then handed it to the bar man, he asked for payment then which we found a bit odd and said we would pay at the end as it would be split between us and we would more than likely be ordering sweets. We all Sat down and carried on while the food was being prepared. Our food arrived in dribs and drabs!!!:-Kids chicken nuggets and chips was fineKids prawn cocktail and garlic bread was fine1 x gammon and all the trimmings fine1x medium to well sirloin was fineThen it all went down hill:-*A side of what we were told was breaded garlic mushrooms came out this turned out to be scampi!!!!*lasagne turned out to be cottage pie with some pasta and cheese placed on top*cheese and broccoli pasta bake was a tuna pasta bake* braised steak came with chips was meant to be mash and veg and only one was served 2 were ordered* The Cottage pie had no veg*scampi just came out on a side dish no salad or chips* half the dishes had home cut chips as stated and half were frozen *we asked for a rare and a blue steak both came out well done both were sent back and when they eventually came back out the what was supposed to be rare look as though it was defrosted in the microwave then boiled iv never seen anything like it and it was also well done!!! The blue steak came out medium/well I mean come on its not rocket science!!When we were complaining and sending food back the attitude of the waitress was appalling she huffed, puffed and basically threw the food in front of us.We asked to speak with the manager the cook who was the owner came out she was also very rude and clearly drunk, wasn't very apologetic and didn't seem to care at all. During what I can only call a shambles one of our party had gone into the kitchen to see what the problem was and said the hygiene standard of the kitchen was appalling and unorganized with boxes everywhere and no space to work on which she pointed out to the cook/owner and she clearly did not care!!!! In the end we actually walked out with most plates not even touched and did not pay the bill, on leaving we made our feelings clear to the bar staff who also could not have cared less we were made to feel unwelcome and as if we had done something wrong, I have never experienced anything like this and can not believe they hold a food licence as clearly they are unable to supply a good standard of service!! To top it all off when we left and went on to another pub 10 minutes away there was a wedding on and we got talking to the bride who informed us that she was supposed to be having her wedding at the Skipworth Arms but they called her 8 weeks before her wedding day to cancel the event as they had a band already booked and were expecting over 100 locals to come so we're not prepared to cancel that, as u can imagine the bride was extremely angry as all the invitation had already gone out, but they had a lucky escape if u ask me as this place really is the worst place I could ever imagine to have a wedding!!!!

Arrived for a booked meal with family and friends. Half had travelled a few hours to get. We were the only people eating table of twelve. The staff were rude, we wrote our order down and half the meal came out fifteen minutes before the rest, the orders were incorrect which was met with eye rolling and tutting ( next time read the order) we repeatedly corrected them on items brought out only for further wrong meals to be presented. More tutting , door slamming and curt remarks. The food we did get was unpleasant. Not as described. This was a very upsetting ordeal as we had gathered as a friend is very unwell , it marred the evening. Wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Truly shocking way to treat customers. We ended up having to leave after approx forty minutes ( beyond the first meal) as some of the meals had still not been brought out and we were hungry.

Booked a wedding reception buffet and disco plus two family meals at this venue 7 months ago promised exclusivity of the pub was informed yesterday (8 week's before our wedding) that they had booked a band on the same night and were expecting 100 locals and were not prepared to cancel! Invites have already been sent and now have 8 weeks to completely 're-arrange wedding. Extremely disappointed and let down. Would not visit again. Certainly would not trust management with any important occasions!!

Not a very nice atmosphere found the staff very rude the beer very warm would not go back there...next door is a lovely lively caravan site called watermills staff more welcoming and beer nice and cold had a good night there

Went on a Friday evening for a bite to eat, not a very welcoming greeting on arrival. I don't want hearts & flowers but a friendly smile would have been nice. Good choice of food on the menu & reasonably priced as was the lager, food was traditional pub grub, nice & filling.

SATURDAY NIGHT...Pop in to Skipworth Arms after a long day at a wedding. local band ( Gypsy's ) was playing not too bad heard better.Staff at bar very friendly and polite. Customers ,like there ale! Guess Saturdays are fun nights for the locals ,could be over bearing for visitors. However we had a laugh and did not feel intimidated.Did do food be we didn't eat.Pub clean, toilet clean,could do with a lick of paint,beer limited in all would go back.
