Decided to give this a shot as it is advertised as a family bar with entertainment. One of our party has allergies/intolerances so needed to check the ingredients on menu. A young man (wish I had his name) struggled to find relevant info but he did check and eventually managed to find info sheets and bring to our table. Food ordered and didn't wait too long and it was lovely and hot. Unfortunately no one attempted to clear our table for over an hour forcing us to move to another one so the childrens entertainer could be enjoyed by us all and yes we did enjoy the corny jokes! The soft play was also used and kept grandchild happy but it really needs a deep deep clean it was disgusting in places.

The Suncastle is a family friendly place to go with childrens entertainment usualy 7pm to 9pm then adult entertainment. It can get fairly busy especially at the weekend,there is a bar on the upper level which is usualy less busy and you can still see the entertainment. The staff are friendly and the food is not bad. If its busy sometimes you have to wait 45 mins-1 hour so order fairly early.

I can't say enough about the Suncastle- the staff are super friendly and helpful, the food is delicious, great quality and hot. Nice big soft play for the kids, lively entertainment. Great value for money. Sunday carvery was superb, portions on all the food are really generous. Prices are very reasonable. Suncastle is very clean and welcoming. We were in Skegness for the week and this is the one place we kept coming back to over several days. I would definitely recommend for all the family.

Came in today was going to get lunch with my family and take my daughter to the soft play. I asked the lady behind the bar if the soft play was open she said “I don’t know”, how doesn’t your member of staff know whether it’s open or not. She didn’t tell me times or anything that the soft play was open she was interested in even telling me. So I left never bothered to have food here.

The place is massive, can be very busy don't expect meals in a flash, usually a notice up saying waiting time, We've had meals and Sunday Carvery all been very good, entertainment is great for the children, have good singers on for adults, large play area for children upstairs, large seating area inside and out, in season singers on outside in afternoon. Staff staff are very friendly. Highly Recommend.

Used to come here as kids when we were staying locally. Not what I remember at all. Empty in the middle of the day on a Friday, just a local radio station playing (no live music) and all in all a bit off putting. Not the vibrant and exciting place I remember. We paid nearly £50 for 2 baguettes, chips and 2 kids meals. The food was hot and arrived quickly but was rather lacking in flavour. Most expensive meal of our holiday and probably the worst experience. Only the vouchers for free soft play for the kids from the local guide book made the visit worthwhile. Probably won’t come back.

We went to the scooter rally in April to watch the amazing Marquis Drive at this venue... It's the perfect place to watch a live band and they blew the roof off The venue is massive and is perfect place to spend time and have a laugh with friends.

If you expect a nice filling Sunday lunch do not visit here. Paid bloody 9 pounds for a carvery and was told we could only have 2 roast potatoes. My partner didn’t even have any meat with the meal due to medical reasons… he was allowed one extra roast potato ? Absolutely appalling and we still had to go elsewhere afterwards to actually eat.

This is definitely a place I would recommend to anyone with children. They have a big three storey soft play centre inside that the kids absolutely loved. It is so spacious inside with seating available upstairs as well as downstairs. The castle theme inside is continued with tapestries and such and gives a really great vibe. It is very clean, both in the main areas and in the toilets. The menu has a very good selection and is decently priced as well. We visited as a family of 5 (3 adults and 2 children). The food is good quality, freshly cooked, hot and really generous portions given. The kids menu can also be paid to 'stay and play' so you pay a little extra for the soft play wristband at a discounted price. Of course, you can just buy the wristband for the soft play without having a meal- we had 2 days where we popped in just for drinks and bought the wristbands for the soft play. The thing that kept us coming back most of all, though, was the great staff. They are really welcoming, friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. They work so hard to make sure that you have a nice time there.

First of all I want to say this is not a complaint about the venue, the food or any other staff member but a certain individual. This individual was an gentleman with dark hair and glasses, possibly in his late 30’s to early 40’s but you’d think he was older due to his apparent short term memory loss! When I first ordered my food I had to repeat my order to this gentleman at least 4/5 times so as you can imagine I was quite shocked to find that when the food came a part of my order was missing (fish fingers, smiley faces and beans) I mentioned this to the server who promptly came back to tell me that actually I had not paid for this item. I proceeded to show him my bank statement to show the amount I had just paid and was shocked to see that he did not believe me and totted the amount up himself and to his shock he told me “I was right and that I had paid” after telling me this he then found my ticket which showed I had paid for 3 meals however…… my receipt some how showed a pizza and chips with beans not the fish fingers, smiley faces and beans I had ordered. Now 1 key part of this complaint is that I then repeated a further 3/4 times the order was FISH FINGERS WITH SMILEY FACES AND BEANS.. Well you could imagine the shock I got when f***ing chicken nuggets with chips and f***ing beans came out and not what I had ordered! This was brought out by a young man who apologised sincerely and not the gentleman who had made multiple mistakes!!!! During all this my child sat hungry and had to eat alone when his food was eventually brought out! This guy was that bad that if we didn’t laugh at his absolute idiocy we would have cried! What makes it worse is that I then found out that he was the supervisor on shift! I don’t usually complain about anything but he was a shambles and did not give a single apology just an accusation of not paying and me making the mistake. If he had repeated my order back to me at the beginning that I had told him by this time 550 times it could have been sorted and not lead to this ridiculous service from this man! The venue is great, the beer is good, the food is fantastic and the kids love it. So again this is simply due to the incompetence of a single individual! Everyone but him were great! I will be back, if this man attempts to serve me I will simply wait for someone else!

We had our work Christmas party that coincided with a friends 50th birthday, we had a 3 course meal and we all enjoyed each course, one of our party was gluten free and the staff were extremely accommodating. The meal was cooked to perfection, it was hot and you could tell it was all fresh veg. The DJ ( S&S entertainment) and band ( Code Red) were excellent and knew exactly what to play to get people dancing. All the staff were helpful and polite on what was a really busy night. A fantastic evening, enjoyed by all and I really hope they doit again next year 😀🎄

Visited the Suncastle alone for a drink on Saturday afternoon 24/10/2020.Upon arrival was immediately seated at a table in the main groundfloor area of the Pub by the friendly waitress.Ordered an excellent pint of Worthingtons Bitter shandy which was served within minutes.The pub was decorated brilliantly with Halloween decorations which added to the friendly chilled ambience of the pub.Although some people may say that the Suncastle is dated as it has changed very little in the many years I have been visiting I disagree.The pub which is in the shape of a castle has a large groundfloor seating area with a stage and dancefloor at one end and the bar at the other.The ceilings which are very high have metal girders and a clear perspex roof.Upstairs there is a smaller bar with an adjoining soft play area which is ideal for families.The Suncastle is full of character and very warm and inviting.It is a breath of fresh air from the characterless plastic non entity pubs which seem to dominate todays pub scene.In my opinion and hopefully within my lifetime the pub will stay exactly as it is.It does not need to change and hopefully it wont.It is a truly awesome pub and my favourite pub in Skegness.Both waitresses who were on duty during my visit and during my previous weekend visits in september and October 2020 were very friendly and polite offering good speedy service and observing the current Covid rules.Long may the pub continue.

Fundamentally, the Suncastle building is owned by ELDC, and is in a very prominent position in Skegness, so surely ELDC should be helping invest in the building ? Private businesses, which is what this is run as, have had a tough time over the last few years, it finds it hard to make any money to reinvest, as I understand.

Took my little boy here today, we live local and have never visited, we had planned to have a meal and a few drinks, once we actually worked out which entrance was unlocked I was shocked to find a very dirty, sticky carpet place, we sat at a table which was sticky so we tried 2 more tables but all the same, and the chairs are all heavily stained. My 3 year old went to play in the kids play area and I am glad I went with him, I found mould and old sweets and food between the soft play mats and the whole framed area in desperate need of a good clean. This totally put me and my wife off ordering food. So we left. Such a shame, £15 on cleaning products and a days cleaning this could be a nice place, it's dated but has charm and the venue downstairs looks like it holds good night's but it's very dated. We won't be returning here again, and merely my opinion I would rather use captain kids 5 minute walk towards the peer.

Fantastic softplay and family entertainment for Halloween party. Bought first drinks from downstairs bar which was fine. Second drinks from upstairs bar, barmaid tried to charge double the price, when we tried our drinks did not taste right, took them back and spoke to barmaid who served drinks, fobbed off , did not enjoy and doubt had a full measure in drink as tasted of nothing , same barmaid needs to loose attitude, concentrate on her customers and not family/friends. Whilst not put of returning will be selective who I served by

Went to the Suncastle Friday 20th September to the Graham Bonnet concert. What a shambles this was. Got There for the doors to open at 7pm,didn't open them till7.25 left to stand outside in the small queue in the cold,got inside to find hardley any seats nobody was checking tickets, we got ours on line £16.50 including booking fee to find the people near us hadn't even paid anything just walked in along with quite a few others. There was 2 other bands on compete & utter rubbish not even tuned up there instruments so had to stand & listen to them tuning up. Tut. The venue was for too small for the racket being made & the girl singer I don't want to see on stage kissing the back of the guitarist neck ugh.Graham Bonnet well what can I say about him we CRAP comes to mind. Had he hurt his back or was he drunk,it wouldn't be the first time. You don't sit on a stool when you have a bad back, I know I've got one. Went off after half hour of rubbish. It was far too loud I put tissue in my ears & still overbearing. UTTER RUBBISH.

Called a couple of times late afternoon, Nice friendly ladies behind the bar. Outside seating area was great, The only thing was having to go up the spiral staircase to the bar. Whilst this was not a problem to us we saw a few older people leave because they could not manage the stairs. Maybe a bell or intercom at the bottom of stairs would help.We enjoyed our time here :) :)

We turned up with family as thought kids could run around the play area and let off a little steam. Only 6 or 7 tables inside in use as weather is tip top at the moment.. we decided what food we was having and went to order from bar... three staff stood talking about how one of them had banged her mouth on something..then we get acknowledged and just said can we order food and woman snapped back it's over an hour wait. We decided that it's ok to wait as only ordering kids food so they could play. Asked for our table number and we have them the wrong table number by mistake and was rudely and sarcasticly spoken to by the lady taking our order. We have been using the suncastle for many years and have seen things slowly decline. On a bank holiday this place used to be rammed. Couldn't even go up stairs as it was locked this time. Think we dodged a bullet with the food to be honest.. she didn't even ask what food we wanted just snapped over an hour wait!!. Former good place gone badWill never return again.

We decided as a large group yesterday to go have something to eat this included 3 young children. The first group of 7 that ordered were told a 20 minute wait (that’s fine) the 2nd group of 4 were told an hour literally being served after the first group. Always a bad start. Luckily all the kids food was ordered first. The 20 minute wait turned into an hour with 3 very ratty very hungry children this was not good. Trust me the place wasn’t even that busy. The 2nd group eventually got theirs after 90 minutes!! The first group were done and ready to go so we went to ask where our food was ready to get a refund and go to maccas when we were greeted by staff members laughing and eating/standing around not really doing an awful lot!!! The food wasn’t too bad apart from cheap chicken but you will most definitely have to wait for it!!!

We visited on a Monday evening during the summer holidays at around 7.30 pm, intending to have a meal for my daughter's 6th birthday, and she had her heart set on pizza and dancing, having visited last year and enjoyed the food.We ordered a round of drinks whilst selecting our food and whilst my daughter and her younger sister did some dancing.When I went to the bar to order food, I was told the wait would be between 90-100 minutes! Clearly this was unacceptable and had we known we would not have ordered drinks and would have immediately gone elsewhere. Surely there should have been some sort of sign advising of the waiting time or that, effectively, food was no longer being served. The place did not look especially busy but admittedly we did not look upstairs.Fortunately, the evening was salvaged by Happy Meals at the nearby McDonald's.The girls enjoyed their dancing and games but would have liked to stay longer. However, what I did notice was that prizes were repeatedly handed out to older children - some clearly in their teens - whilst younger children, mine included, were continually overlooked by the entertainment staff.

by far the worst place i have ever eaten food! i had the fish and chips only had a couple of bites and was physically sick aftwards and for the rest of the day, the food portions were what you would give a child there was 6 chips on 1 adult plate so it was returned for a refund the rest of the food came out 2 and half hours after we orderd and one of these was a sandwhich god knows why it took so long but the bread was stale yet warm and the meat chewy and unediable we did complain and recived free drinks but then was questioned on the free drinks they offered the staff seemed nice enough but they are very understaffed ill be suprised if it stays open much longer.

This is the worst and most dangerous soft play I’ve ever been to!! Once the kids go in, everything is beneath ground and they cannot be seen. There are no stairs type parts for the kids to climb back up from the levels, they have to climb onto little platforms and then pull themselves up onto the floor above.

Came in today as used to be one of my favourites when we had family visiting. Children’s entertainment was always good,and it used to be a cheap pint and and the play area was £2 all day. Changed considerably,lints have gone up, it was quiet anyway, but before I paid £2.99 for my little granddaughter and her cousin which would have been £4, I told them to check out the play area, as it might not have suited my granddaughter. The lady behind the bar followed everyone as if we were criminals:(. I did explain why I wasn’t yet paying, so we drank up pretty quick and left for a better place. Unfortunately we will now not go back this year as we think it’s not the place it once was :(

We visited here for lunch, myself, my husband and the kids (5 & 2). The staff seemed to very flustered despite the fact it was not at all busy, and were quite abrupt with us. My husband had the chicken burger, which he described as “distinctly average”, the kids meals were ok (but how wrong can you go with fish fingers and smiley faces?) and my lasagne was a bit of a joke! One layer of pasta, a small bit of meat and topped with what seemed like a whole block of melted orange cheddar. The pub redeems itself slightly by allowing children all day access into its soft play are included in the price of the children’s meal, however I can’t comment on whether it is again good as I was reluctant to spend money on more drinks after our lunch experience so we didn’t take up the offer. It seems to me to be a prime example of a pub that relies on seasonal guests so has no incentive to make it a good experience as they know that more will be along next week!

This place has great nostalgia for me, most holidays in skeggy from 88-94 would include a visit here so I wanted my daughter to have a similar memento. It's alright. Food is typical bar type affair and not bad but not overly great either. Main attraction is something the kids can do whilst you pass time. As I sit in here now (sad to write a review now but single parent with daughter in the play area you get a little bored) were in the middle of a 'heatwave and this place is not ideal in this type of weather. No air con and practically a green house with the window roof everywhere, it's a little unbearable, just a heads up.

We popped into The Suncastle today as a birthday meal for my Mum, with the added benefit of being child AND dog friendly. When we arrived around 6:30pm, we found the children's entertainment was in full swing with disco games and small sweet prizes. At one point even the parents got involved with the added incentive of a free drink to whoever won the child and parent dance contest. Unfortunately it wasn't me! I found the lady entertainer really good at her job as you can tell she loves doing what she does. All of the children really enjoyed themselves. Only negative side to this, was how ridiculously loud the entertainment music was. Due to this I have only given the pub 4 stars.

This place is easy to miss because it is towards the end of the main strip along the sea front. The staff are friendly and helpful and the facilities are clean. We went here two days running to eat. First day I had sausages and mash and hubby had pie and chips, both were excellent, then next day we both had burgers, he had the Texan burger and I had the loaded burger, and they were amazing. We sat in the garden because we had our dog with us, but there is also a room inside where you can eat and have your dog with you, just not through to the actual restaurant obviously, and there are plenty of tubs of water for dogs to drink. We absolutely loved this place and can't recommend it highly enough.

We called in as we have used this eatery before and enjoyed it.I ordered a Rump Steak and my wife ordered a Jacket Potato."I don't want any salad or coleslaw though" she said as I won't be able to eat it if it has any on.Don't worry said the person serving at the bar I will make sure there is none on.It arrived and on both plates was a portion of salad and coleslaw.I don't mind salad but dislike coleslaw and my wife sent hers back.To be fair the plate was changed within seconds.My meal was lovely but the mistake with my wife's meal left us with mixed feelings about a return visit.Coleslaw should be asked for by the customer,not put on every plate as a matter of course.

I have been a visitor to Skegness for over 40 years and have only just visited the Suncastle! It's just a short walk from the funfair and arcades, and if you have children it's well worth a visit.

I can honestly say (and I never usually write a review) ive never spent £45 on a meal for a family of 4, to not eat anything other than chips.

As we stayed opposite the sun castle we thought we would try it out, very family orientated with great entertainment. Especially enjoyed Karl.

Food was absolutely appalling. I had pasta which was overcooked and falling apart. Tomato sauce was very watery. Other half had a Burger stack where every element was barely short of being cremated. Deep fried onion rings and chicken cooked roughly twice as long as needed. Beef burger hard and dry. Received refund and won't call again.

Had my daughters birthday party here. The staff made a real effort to make the room look fit for a princess. The children all enjoyed their food and my daughter had a great time with her friends. The staff were brilliant and I would recommend this place to all families.

Ooh my word went in here for nostalgic reasons and what a rubbish tip!!!!! Upstairs i know its for families but honestly the floor was just a sea of rubbish and food.Trying to find a place to put my feet was almost impossible. My husband got a jack d and coke and was told he would have to walk downstairs if he wanted ice.I had white wine and lipstick...well the glass i got was covered in someone elses!!!! Honest i couldn't wait to leave..Shame because i used to love taking my daughter here and the singer last night would have been good to listen to if i could have faced staying a minute longer

Every year me and family come here on an evening. It's the only place in Skegness that has something decent for the kids. 7 till 9 they do kids entertainment and there's a little play gym. We love it here. From 9 they have adult entertainment. My friend got hypnotised one night which was brilliant and hilarious

Very good place to go with kids enjoyed the food which was lovely and freshly cooked did not have to wait long for service even tho it was a busy day friendly staff and very helpful and the kids really loved the play area and kids entertainment prices are reasonable they do a kids deal @ £4.95 food plus kids play all day in the play area . Worth a visit.

Came here with the family for brunch and we wasn't disappointed. It's a nice venue, very clean, loads of seating. There's a really good play area for the kids which you have to pay for, it's only a pound extra if you order per child from the kids menu. So the kids are entertained well. We ordered few paninis and baguettes. Which were quite nice, my partner had the chicken and chorizo and l had the steak baguette. Mine was nice, although the baguette could have been baked a bit more and we was supposed to get crisps with our but they never came. Above all the food was nice, the kids were all entertained. A positive experience.

Great for kids entertainment but needs investment. Too loud and speakers are crackling. Children enjoyed it, so did some adults but not us unfortunately.

Visited one evening just as the children's entertainment was starting. There is a family atmosphere and the staff were friendly. The music for the children was pretty loud, but they were enjoying themselves. Food is good but I found the fish was rather small for the price (just over £8). If I'd not had two bread rolls, I would have left still feeling hungry! I am rather fussy when it comes to decent portion sizes, so I gave my visit a moderate score.

Llegué a casa sobre el almuerzo y el Suncastle estaba cerca. El edificio en sí era interesante, pero necesitaba un poco de trabajo. Casi ningún cliente, pero mucho personal y bueno y agradable. Pero me temo que Mi lasaña no era agradable y caro. La cerveza estaba bien. Como yo empecé - qué pena.

No he sido durante años. Pensé que iba a entrar para un bocado ligero y una bebida. El restaurante no ha cambiado un poco! La mujer detrás de la barra parecía que estaba saliendo de sus pies! Aunque el lugar estaba medio vacío! El lugar se podría decorar. El lugar tiene wifi gratis, lo cual es una ventaja! No tuve que esperar mucho tiempo para la comida. La mujer había pasado por el que ella estaba llevando como descanse un mi comida a mi mesa ella podía traerme mi descanse un en cambio tuve que conseguir que yo mismo aunque ella pasado en el camino de vuelta! No puedo conseguir ningún salsas ni nada. Decepcionante, pero volvería para una bebida!

The service has declined since we last dined here. Little touches have disappeared. The wine is now plonked on the table and initial glass no longer poured. I had the lamb wellington, and was somewhat disappointed to receive 2 small cubes of meat. It was very nice though as was the rest of our meal.

Tucked away between the large venue's across from happy days club but if you do spot it well worth a visit, next door to a chippy. Run by working class folk with a friendly attitude and friendly prices. Our favourite is the Sunday carvery with generous portions and to top it all comes with a pudding included in the price. A good extensive menu at affordable prices for families and couples. Large table's, good seating but what make ginghams our favourite is the helpful friendly staff and atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

There seem to be bad reviews about this Costa but I like it very much.this time I was alone,usually I am with a friend.the barista pointed out to me that I had a complimentary drink on my app so I had a strawberry frappe entirely free and o nly had to pay for my cake.staff are friendly and the place is clean.

Have had the set Sunday lunch on several occasions. Quality of the meal has been fairly consistent. Today however, the experience was overshadowed by some very nasty custard! It sounds very picky, when the rest of the meal was fine, but watery, lumpy, tasteless powdered custard with the crumble, took the edge right off...
