Smugglers Inn in North East Lincolnshire

Lovely snug pub on Cleethorpes Sea Front with lovely staff and punters. Even has pool tables and one of those mobile-controlled Jukeboxes. Shame it's so expensive! Over a fiver for a pint of Madri! Go one bar down to Willy's and you can get a pint of Becks for just over £4 or one of their local brews, or go up to the Fisherman's on Sea View Street and get a pint of local Docks Beers for the same price. Explains why the place is so empty during the week. I get the pub trade is struggling but as a Marston's pub you'd expect it to be a bit cheaper - it's Cleethorpes, not Brighton!

Food was very nice customer service was good would definitely go again and recommend

Just visited the smugglers we go live local been there before but surprised to be charged £5.95 per 175ml glass wine. Other wine bars locally only charge £4.10 so please look at your prices then we will visit again

Evening sat in an ideall traditional style pub . Friendly staff , great atmosphere, not too noisy or overcrowded

Great little pub but busy on armed forces day

Great experience such a warm welcome after a long day at work. All the staff are super friendly and attentive. The beer selection is great and the food is superb. Would definitely recommend visiting the Smugglers.

Amazing place with amazing staff! You genuinely feel like part of the family. Special shout out to Hayley, Julie, Joe, India & all the other guys who make this the place to be!!!

Lovely friendly pub, Pat, Simon, Julie and Hayley will take great care of you, and make you welcome. A nice quieter establishment to relax and watch the sport if thats your thing. Well worth a visit, and has a proper pub feel to it.

Excellent service, pool room has been recently refurbished.

Had an amazing Sunday dinner. All staff were lovely, shout out to Hayley and Jo, thank you for being so welcoming and friendly. Will defo visit again. Everyone in the pub were friendly

Amazing food. Awesome drinks menu. Food menu very diverse. Sea view. Beer garden.. Front and back. Absolute delight. Good deals on drinks

Decent boozer. Pool room done out. Staff sound. "Especially hayley" Food sound. Beer garden always gets the sun. Even when it's night time 🌙 f

My family and I came to the smugglers on Sunday for some food and a drink, the food was amazing (especially the roasties) We received excellent customer service from a man with a moustache and the young blonde girl who brought us our food, they were very nice to me and my family. We will definitely come again!

Came for a family Sunday lunch steak pie was fantastic, hayley and Joe are really friendly will definitely be coming back again The pub has 2 pool tables and a darts board to keep entertained

We had a lovely Sunday dinner there,loved it and the staff are fanastic

Lovely pub. Sunday dinners are lovely . Julie the manager is the life and soul of the pub also great supporters of the smugglers football team

The only pub to be in cleethorpes! Great food...great atmosphere and for the past 30 years the most outstanding, lovely staff you could possibly hope to meet, bar none! Wonderful place

Fantastic pub facing the seafront of Cleethorpes. Great staff (Hayley is lovely!), Friendly locals, reasonably priced drinks and a great atmosphere all round. They also two pool tables, show sports and have regular live music. Highly recommend 👌

Great traditional pub this, fantastic atmosphere highly recommend the Sunday dinners! had one the last few Sundays cannot fault

Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and music. Great Friendly pub.

Shut , never opened, told to go to back entrance, went on other occasion, no beer! , not like years ago when it was lovely, don't think they like tourists , so won't bother , going back to Cleethorpes tomorrow again but probably won't walk down there as I'm disabled and can't be doing with the hassle

Excellent service from Hayley, very accommodative. Back soon

Public House, not a lot of charisma but friendly welcome and prompt service. We chose a house burger (brie & cranberry) and haddock & home made chunky chips. Both came piping hot and perfectly cooked (take note Marston & Mitchells!). Good sized portions, priced competitively. Cleethorpes has a lot of pub / restaurants, some better than others. We would come back to this one for the food, but not the character.

Went in last Sunday for a Sunday dinner but when I got there decided to go for steak pie instead. Absolutely superb deep filled homemade pie with thick cut home made chips, couldn’t recommend more. Stayed for a few drinks afterwards with fantastic service from Hayley behind the bar who always has a big smile for everyone. Great bunch of regulars as well, definitely recommend 👍

Great pub and atmosphere, bar staff are all so friendly. Special thanks to Hayley for always looking after us all.

Visited this pub a few times recently, played pool and darts with friends think I’ve found my new local great place :)

Lovely staff, down to earth and a great pub in general

Lovely atmosphere, kind bar staff and a wide variety of drinks to choose from

Been in a few times for food on a weekend and I can't fault it. A nice atmosphere and great food with drink offers on all the shots, also lots of tv's to watch the sports on, a jukebox and a couple of pool tables. I know where I will be going from now on, see you again this weekend 👍👍

Best bar staff in town great Sunday dinner and the juke box even has pit bull winning

Brilliant pub friendly staff, good food and excellent service.

Lovely local pub, brilliant atmosphere all the staff are friendly and the sunday dinners are delicious

Can not recommend this place enough! Great bar staff, loads of drink offers too. Had my first roast dinner on Sunday and all I can say is ‘il be back’ amazing food keep up the good work guys

A fantastic traditional & family friendly pub. Whether you’re just popping in for a drink or a meal the friendly & helpful staff are there for you. Sit at the bar & have a chat or take a table, play a game of darts or enjoy a game of pool. There’s a small beer garden at the rear that’s a proper sun trap in the summer. What’s not to like ? I highly recommend the Smugglers.

Great family pub, staff are brilliant and full of smiles

Great pub with really friendly bar staff. Excellent food & family friendly. Proper olde world type of pub with seating outside, front & back. Highly recommended.

Excellent home made Sunday dinner just brilliant with wonderful service from Hayley and India

Great pub with a great atmosphere. Staff friendly and always smiling- look out for their open mic nights always a good turn out.

Lovely Sunday dinner as a take away

The best Sunday dinners in town served by the best staff great atmosphere ⭐️ can’t recommend this little pub enough

Love visiting the Smugglers for a pint with friends, always a great atmosphere and the staff are always friendly!

Excellent service and fabulous free halloween party. We loved it xxx

Really disappointed in this place after reading the good reviews. My little girl spent all day been excited getting ready for the Halloween party. This place is clearly for locals only, not sure what we did wrong but we was absolutely not welcomed in the slightest, especially by the women dressed as a bride who made it very clear we wasn’t welcome and purposely stared us out! Had one very very upset 4 year old as we ended up leaving after 15 minutes of dirty looks of everyone. we wasn’t the only non locals who made this comment either! Won’t be going back. Whoever you are you should be really ashamed of yourself!!

Always a pleasure coming to Smugglers. Full of friendly faces. Recently attended the Halloween party and brought 3 children aged 5-7, they’ve never been to a halloween party here before as we usually do the Linden Club. They absolutely loved it and asked if we can come every year! Staff went above and beyond to make it a special night for the kids, lots of games and prizes, they didn’t want to leave! Thanks to Kim and India for making sure all the children were included and for making it so fun for them all.

Kids Halloween party my boy is four absolutely loved it! Lots of welcome, fun party games, free hotdogs music and lots of prizes. Thanks to the organisers xx

Great place very friendly staff would definitely recommend and will definitely be back.

Food fresh cooked as needed , lots of flavour great size portions. I have allergies to foods of which the staff were amazing catering for ! A nice small menu. Keep up the fantastic work we will be back !

Went here for a Sunday dinner,and I wasn't disappointed,🥰

Had day in cleethorpes popped in for beer and dinner tried a different beer from my normal and was a lovely pint,food was good,friendly bar will pop in next time for a few beers.

Amazing Sunday lunch, very attentive staff, value for money, if we came back to Cleethorpes, we will definitely go again!

Very friendly people and staff. I wouldn't say it's a posh place but it's a good ol' pub.

In need of refurbishment but did nice food although basic. My wife had a jacket potato and tuna mayo and that was all it was - no side salad or mixed leaves. It looked very lonely in the bowl.

Lovely, noisy family pub, friendly staff and locals, wasn't my first visit won't be my last

Very friendly bar at excellent prices.

Went in for a few drinks on Saturday afternoon with the wife and Grandkids having been shunned at a couple of other places because of the kids. Staff were very friendly, service was great. The bar staff handed out sweets for the kids and made them very welcome. Will definitely be coming back.

The staff are very welcoming and are a good laugh n the atmosphere is perfect for me n my partner

Jo the best barman in town. He squeezed me limes 😊

What a great place, friendly staff making you feel welcome to a great atmosphere,if you want to enjoy a Sunday roast can totally recommend the smugglers will definitely visit again when in the area 🙂🙂

Nice and friendly and full of character

Super friendly staff and great value for money vegetarian Sunday lunch. I had mixed vegetables, roast potatoes, mashed potato, Yorkshire pudding and special prepared vegetarian gravy. Highly recommended and will go again, when visiting Cleethorpes.

Great pint amazingly friendly staff with fantastic music selection playing on the sunday night that we visited "Joe the mustache" cannon fiddler extrordinair And Anya behind the bar were a breath of fresh air for me and the crew great night had well worth the visit if your in the area 5star.

I have not been in hear sines Teddy Boy Paddy had the place from the late 80s early 90s.. he was a good bloke. I hear he has a big bup in Brigg Lincolnshire now..all the best Paddy.. hi its Eric's brother... ate Peter.... I also remember when you had the harvest moon and one of them beautiful pint of Guinness

The signs outside said it was a Marston's pub, but they didn't sell any Marston's beer! Nice place though, right on the sea front.

This place stand out of all the places I have ever been the staff are so kind and generous they helped us feed our kids when we came out and our card were declined thinking we had more money than we did but hayley was so kind and generous she fed our kids and I want to say how amazing they are. This place has helped us in our time of need and will.always remember this for their kindness

Decent little boozer. Landlady was lovely, very chatty and obviously proud of her pub.

Very friendly and food on Sundays is excellent

Forces weekend fabulous called in for drinks staff really friendly and welcoming,spotlessly clean

First time in years I visited this pub which I used to be a regular It was over the weekend at the Cleethorpes armed forces day Clean but what a ripoff on beer 😡 Coors at £4.50 a pint 😡 Or was it a special price for the visitors for the armed forces day 🤔 😡 I’ll stick to the Trading post ! Coors is only £3.20 a pint

Friendly family like environment

Helpful staff, not been for a while disappointed to find no longer able to use loyalty stamps x I have 20 unused but on another note seem to have a nice selection of summer shoes

Cracking place for good beer and food at weekends, the bar staff and manager second to none. 👍👍

I rang this pub to ask if they were televising the game as we were staying at Thorpe park and they refused to air it. I went with 5 boys aged 8-12 and two mums. The landlady immediately said she would sort it out for us with only 20 mins before kick off and we arrived to the most hospitable welcome. Not only did she sort an area out for our group she also set the two pool tables up for two free games for the kids to play. On top of this she brought us free bowls of chips which were home made a yummy for us all free of charge as well as sweets for the boys. The customers who were also in were watching another game and really embraced the boys delight when there team scored and also very welcoming. The pub was lovely place, no swearing just really really pleasant place to take the kids. It's a must for cleethorpes with a 5 star food rating and very reasonable prices. I never write reviews but sometimes you have to . Don't pass this pub by which is located near the life boats... especially with kids!

Service a bit inept and indifferent unless you were a local but plenty of room and ok. No decent draft beers though.

Great food and atmosphere good service very warm and welcoming Would definitely recommend it to others

Loved it very friendly and clean.

Lovely pub, brilliant music, lots of choice of beers and lagers. Friendly bar staff, recommended pub to visit.

Called in today for a Sunday dinner, was lovely, staff were very friendly, a loving place.

Quitte large pub with plenty of places to sit. Great section of drinks to choose from. Prices were very reasonable and staff were friendly enough. The staff are however, very strict with Drinks not on coasters a member of staff was frantically running around and moving customers drinks on to coasters, would be better if he asked rather than just grabbing the drink and placing on the coaster.

Proper home cooked food 😋 everything on the plate tasted as it should, plenty of it and the staff were friendly, not over priced, would go again and recommend it 😀.

Called in today had an amazing Sunday dinner. Lovely warm welcome by staff. Will definitely be back 😁

Just had sunday lunch here and I have to say it's one of the best in cleethorpes. You can get a medium dinner for £9 or large for £10 and it's well worth it. So if your hungry and visiting cleethorpes call in you won't be disappointed.

Ordered sunday lunch from here the meat was soft and very tasty roast potatoes nice and crispy and yorkshire pudding was spot on ordered a medium at 7.50 well worth the price will definitely be coming here again great atmosphere

This has to be the best value Sunday lunch in Cleethorpes. Gravy is amazing and the portion sizes are large too. Highly recommended.

Sunday lunch is amazing! Best gravy I've ever tasted and fabulous portions. Got to be the best value for money Sunday lunch in Cleethorpes.

I haven't been in here for a long time. But went in the other daytime, nobody else in there but the manager, he was a very nice man chatting to us and very polite. Liked the pub just how I remembered it from years ago, but I didn't realise it had pool tables. Maybe a little drunk back then!

We had a Sunday lunch, the beef was massive it was magic 10 out of 10

The staff are really friendly and welcoming

Lovely food and a very friendly place staff were nice too

We had an amazing night at the kareoke Halloween night, great laugh great atmosphere

service very good food excellent

Been coming here every now and again since I was young. Always a friendly atmosphere.

Proper old pub. Great atmosphere

Good Sunday dinner good price

Too crowded for me and very loud

Absolutely brilliant place I'm not usually a fan of pubs but this place is something else, as soon as you walk in you're welcomed by the staff, all of the bar staff are really friendly and will actually have a conversation with you. Already planning a trip down to cleethorpes towards end of the year just to have a night out here to celebrate my birthday.

Friendly atmosphere ,nice bar staff.

It just looks like an ordinary pub but the landlord and landlady were very nice to us and the atmosphere was fantastic and the food if not simple was good value for money. I would definitely recommend this fine pub

Only called in for a quick pint but the staff couldn’t have been nicer. Good selection of beers and lagers. Only wish we could have stayed longer

Great food, great staff, pretty all round greatness 😊

Went for a quiet sunday dinner but the football team where playing pool and where very noisy not ideal. The food was ok.
