Lovely pub, very nice staff lovely pint. Good food.

We use it every year highly recomended by the MAVERIC ANGLERS

We were struggling yet again to find a pub lunch near by , so we searched trip adviser and tried the countryman for walkin availability as we were just passing through the area ,the lovely bar lady served us we drinks and said go to the restraunt and see if you can have a table , we did and they seated us immediately. Prompt waitress service lass took our order after explaining the specials board and the menu , we ordered 2 square Yorkshire puds with turkey, Mash ,green beans, cauliflower ,broccoli & gravy followed by 1 apple crumble with ice cream and 1 sticky toffee pudding from the great selection of deserts Our compliments to the chef our food was piping hot and delicious , we will be back next time we tour the east coast tom bev prestolee radcliffe manchester

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Staff brilliant!

Good food at the poachers pantry. Good selection of beers.

Lovely food, I had the braising steak 🥩 yummy hubby had liver & onions Both spot on, Would recommend it Deserts where yummy

Fantastic food, totally delicious and very well cooked. Great portion sizes. I am looking forward to coming back! Shame dogs are not allowed in the bar.

Rude staff. Looked at my children like they were aliens. Arrived really hungry and then told we had to eat in what looked like a morgue because we had children. All other customers mostly regulars was tutting and whispering because we had our two daughters with us. This is the third time visiting in the last two years and the customer service hasn't changed. Definitely don't recommend

First time we've been for a while,the food,service and atmosphere were spot on,only slightly disappointing thing was a couple of favourites that used to be on the specials board weren't available any more,they used to do a Mediterranean Beef dish and a pork in apple sauce dish but still enough choice to keep us happy,the braising steak was amazing just pulled apart with a fork and perfectly cooked veg too which is hard to find these days.will definitely be going again 👍👍👍.

Excellent basic menu, good size portions and tasty, heavy on price

Best Sunday lunch for miles. Piping hot and superb quality. The staff and servers are both friendly and efficient. Is we lived locally would visit frequently. Will be our first choice to eat when we do next holiday in Chapel St Leonard’s.

Only complain was I had lasagne it was nice but little bland no seasoning at all salt ,pepper and some Italian herbs would have been nice just a little alteration required

Lovely food,but was not impressed when i was being charged for a glass of water !!!!! Water should be free !!!!!!!

Really nice beers, outside seating available. Good food

Excellent beer wine and and spirits fabulous customer service delicious meals and family friendly. Bar staff amazing The place to be when you visit ingoldmells

Where do I start when we sat at the table there was 4 adults we were given 1 menu between all of us, when I asked for more menus the waitress rolled her eyes then threw 1 more menu on the table. When the food arrived it wasn't as we ordered 2 of us has lasagne which was dry and tasteless the salad we ordered arrived with the cling film still on, all plates went back with the majority of the food uneaten, we struggled to get the waitresses attention and were all still hungry so decided to give them the benefit of doubt so ordered dessert which we quickly realised was a mistake. When paying for the meal they then refused to let us pay it in 2 halves and when we tried to say about the meal she walked away.

I took slow-cooked beef in a gravel sauce. The beef was very tough and the sauce resembled store-bought powder.

Good clean camping. Shame no hot water in toilets or hand dryer.or hand wash ..and no place to wash up.

A fantastic place to eat with a good range of beers and ales. We especially enjoyed the excellent service from the staff, food was well presented and of high quality 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Went there on a Tuesday and Wednesday, both times were good experiences. The staff were kind and accommodating and the food was pleasant, with the food being at a good price. It's definitely worth checking out, booking a seat is recommended.

Lovely pub with lovely staff very friendly and very accommodating, we walked from kingfisher caravan park for a Sunday lunch , we hadn't booked and they fit our party of 5 in, nice food great prices would definitely go again.

Perfect place for a Sunday dinner 🍽 😋. 1st time visiting and won't be the last. Food on point and very filling and tasty. Beer also great prices would highly recommend. Take card payment

We have been going to the countryman now for well over 30years, always found it very friendly and polite staff, used to bring the kids but grown up now, meals are fantastic and at moment we are camping behind pub in caravan park,can't fault it, first class 😘😘

When coming to ingoldmells on holiday (from Sheffield), I always look forward to visiting this pub. The staff are friendly, the drinks are great, and the theme of this pub has a nice Victorian countryside style. This pub is a peaceful, proper traditional pub that truly defines: ENGLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Been to this pub four times this week and simply cannot fault it(13th july to 20th july) Come with my wife and brother and he’s just said it’s the best four meals he’s had in a long time. High praise to Robert,Kerry,and the rest of the staff,especially the CHEF. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Yes ten stars.

We were a little sceptical about ordering food here. We popped in for a drink at lunchtime midweek, it was very quiet but we noticed the specials on the wall, so decided to book for the evening as it was close to our touring campsite (Jubilee Fields). We arrived at 6pm and there were only a few tables taken. We were handed a menu to accompany the specials board. We chose the braised steak and Chicken Tikka Marsala. After short wait they came out piping hot and a real plateful. Tikka included rice, samosa and Naan, the steak was huge with mash and fresh vegetables...both were really tasty and great value. The server was very pleasant too with a ģood sense of humour. By the time we left the restaurant had really filled up and it was only 7pm, so a good idea to book. We would definitely return if in the area.

Food good. Presented nicely. Waitress, not much PR about her! No smiles, interaction, not friendly or helpful, as 1 customer gluten free. Hubby's pudding of apple crumble and custard, looked and tasted amazing. The pudding saved the day!

First visit.. surprised how big the pub is......nice atmosphere..... good drink.

The food was generous well cooked and very warm service

Didn’t feel welcome at all , went for a meal for our anniversary and seeing as it was one of the first pubs we had a meal together and that we had such a great time the first time, we went back. What a difference 6 years has made , the place as gone down hill so much . You can no longer have a meal in the main part if you have any children with you . You have to go into a kids room that feels like a transport cafe and is so hot when the sun is out . The service made us feel like we wasn’t wanted , one of our party want chips with his cottage pie instead of veg but was told he couldn’t because the menu stated veg , not chips and when it came out it looked like two white varieties of some sort of plants. Luckily after having cancer he cannot taste anything anymore but it didn’t look good . The lasagna my wife had was pale and tasteless. One good thing was the pie I had , was good . All in all had bad experience and such a shame because it was such a great place .

Staff were lovely and couldn't do enough for you. The food was amazing, the best we'd had! I had braising steak with mash and veg, omg it was so delicious! My husband had the homemade pie, which was steak and that was also delicious. We are looking forward to going again and trying other dishes, very highly recommended 😋

Very tasty home cooking style food. The staff were very friendly and caring and considerate towards their customers. Not surprisingly it gets popular at peak times.

E collect pub staff very freindly

Brilliant place to go staff excellent Lucy isa absolutely brilliant staff member food is absolutely brilliant food is brilliant gammon it's very good all food is good 👍 spot on

Called for lunch today. Lovely food. Prices are good.

Due to an incident I was on none alcoholic beverages for a whole week. Don’t get me wrong I love visiting this pub. The staff are all very nice. But this rating is on the selection of none alcoholic drinks. They only have one. And you can only drink so much coke and j2o. Please consider getting maybe Guinness 0.0 or some none alcohol cider.

Great food, fresh ingredients and really good friendly service by Lucy.

1 hour 10 mins to get our starters then another 15 mins for main courses lasagne warmed up and very dry we ate here last year food was amazing but we won’t be going back lots of other people complaining and asking for money back for incorrect and not nice food

Poor service due to understaffed.

Booked a table, was stood around 10 minutes before we was greeted. Ordered food got the order wrong with one of the dishes and the mac and cheese was bland and swimming in oil. Pub area good, would go back for a drink but not food.

Brilliant service, catered for 20 of us with half hour notice and the food was lovely

Lovely meal as always just a nice relaxing atmosphere

The staff were horrible talked to us like dogs and the pub is stuck in the 80s I will never go there again and my advice to everyone who isn't in the click is to stay well clear 😡

Nice place for a drink and machines for kids to play on. Would love if we could take our child into the maim pub.

Stumbled upon this place as somewhere to have a family meal as we were staying in the area. Staff were super friendly and accommodating, particularly with our 2 small children. They could have seated us in the family area but they allowed us to sit in the main pub and for that I’m grateful. Food was delicious, service was good! Would happily return if we were in the area again!

We ❤️ the country we come a lot when we are in skegness the staff are very friendly the meal are fabulous see you soon xx 🍖

i booked in for a meal tonight for 7 people for my daughter birthday. we had to wait a little while to be seated but it was worth it!. The starters were beautiful. I had chicken bites and it so was tasty, followed by steak and that was gorgeous. The chips you could tell were home made and was enjoyed by the family. To finish i had fudge cake. wow!!! the portion was huge and so tasty. The food was amazing and the price was great too! A massive thank you to Lucy who served us and looked after us tonight. She was an absolute star 🌟. She was really fun and energetic (even though it had been a long shift for her) she laughed with us and even sang to my daughter with us. It felt like we really mattered and was well taken care of. She definalty made the night extra special for us! We will definalty return 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Didn't have food but told it is very good,drinks good even have their own brewery....

One of the best meals we had in Skegness. Homemade cooking, reasonable price and fast service would recommend.

Excellent Sunday lunch with family, food, service and value were spot on would recommend it 👌

This is our go to pub for a nice relaxing pint. Great food and friendly staff

We booked in at the restaurant attached to the pub. The food was excellent and not expensive at all. The staff were very attentive and the chef came out to check there was something for the little one. The only thing that let it down was the restaurant is separate to the bar, so we had to keep getting up for drinks from next door (and there was no option to set up a drinks tab). I can definitely recommend the lasagne

What a shambles staff would rather be on there phone than serving people been so many times last year and food was always good well can tell the chef has left also Annie and Jess are not there anymore I will give it one more try in a few weeks if nothing changes won’t be going back

Had to wait too long to be SERVED. FUNERAL, plus one man on his own, he did very well. But, he needed ASSISTANCE. Pleasant locals bar. No food is available.

4 of us had the sunday dinner great portion size proper gravy and yorkshire puds, lovely staff . definitely be back thankyou .

Beautiful country feeling pub, nice and friendly, we were attending a funeral wake, but it was lively, staff engaged with us all, nice and clean.

Me & friend popped in on Sunday, the first day the restaurant had opened for the season & were made very welcome and had the most amazing Sunday lunch, lamb pie was to die for, loads of mash & fresh veg

Dropped in for a quick pint, great place, food is not on due to out of season, but staff are great conversationalist, and, their bar is awesome, the old style taps! Vintage!

Been here before while in Skegness and it never disappoints. Top marks for the chef and staff Lovely food and service The braised steak is the best

Lovely traditional country pub,friendly staff.Good selection of beers/ales on tap.We will be visiting again.

Lovely stuff nice pub good sunday lunch

The food in the poachers pantry within the countryman is absolutely excellent. All homemade! Been several times!

Brilliant food and a very good atmosphere in the pub.

Fabulous home cooked meals. Gluten Free selection. The braising steak was amazing and I would choose that again.

Great ales and food. Downside or upside, no dogs ! Recommended.

Amazing find. Was just passing and dropped in on off-chance. Friendly staff, excellent food. The jam roly poly was best I've ever had. Would recommend to anyone

Really let it's self go , cheapest sausage I've ever had it was like mush warmed in the microwave, my partner had hunters chicken and salad which came out like road kill and peas not salad ,mentioned it to the young lad might as well talked to the beer mat . I don't give good reviews for getting good food which I ordered just bad ones to stop people falling into the same situation

We came with friends this evening (Friday 13th) as we've told them how great the food is on several occasions. This time was just as good if not better than before. The weather was terrible and a nice hot tasty meal was just what we needed. The steak pie was amazing as was our friends braising steak and cottage pie,all served piping hot and on hot plates too which makes a difference too. Friendly staff , even had a chat with the chef. Fantastic evening and our friends where very impressed with everything. Thank you

Always good at The Countryman, Good Ale, good company, good food, nice site for Campervans & caravans in the field behind, can't fault it

High level service! Very tasty food! Everybody in good mood. Thank you!

Drinks were all very good ! 4 of us had different pints . Lovely clean pub unfortunately we all felt uncomfortable walking in and leaving . Everyone stared and nobody said hello,even though we smiled and said hi to those in there . No see you again from behind the bar either .

Very good food better than a lot in the area

Proper Food, Cooked Properly. Lovely food, good value for money. Pub is full of character and like stepping back in time. Hope it doesn’t change and get modernised or turned into a corporate chain pub, This pub was a great find and the perfect place for some very well home-cooked food cooked as it should be

Tradition country style pub with its own micro-brewery serving 3 of their own hand-pulled ales. The food is top quality 'home-made' with friendly staff throughout.

Terrible place. Was told to sit in the family room because we had our 7 year old daughter with us. The room was cold and empty. None of the kids games was on! We waited 15 mins and still nobody came to take our food order and the place wasn't busy! Never go there again!

Fantastic food and staff they are so friendly Annie was our waitress this time but also know ellie Jess and Sam food was fantastic spot on always really hot and has a really good taste Sam needs to stay off her phone on load speaker not very good when you have customers in we will definitely be back has eat here at least twice a week

Can strongly recommend the cottage pie very tasty and plenty of it

Beautiful great food and service

Sadly not as good as previous visits, food was acceptable but staff seemed disorganised and Im sorry to say borderline rude. Long wait on food too which happens but it would have been nice to have been told before ordering. Not sure we'll bother again.

We come here every time we holiday locally, the kitchen has changed hands, the menu is smaller but covers most options and they will accommodate your requests. The lady that served us on both our visits was lovely, so friendly. The food was delicious as always, and the portion sizes are very generous. My son had apple pie for dessert, and that was beautiful, with lashings of custard!

We have been coming here a few times but sadly our most recent visit will be our last, very unorganised, nobody to show us where to sit so we picked a table only to be asked to move as it was apparently reserved (Nothing on the table to indicate this) then it took over 20 minutes before our order was taken. Meanwhile people continued to come in, nobody greeting them so they just sat down and ended up being asked to move. Seemed if they knew you they couldn't do enough for you whereas if you were a visitor, they were much less interested. We found the staff quite rude and patronising and the service was slow so on the basis of that we shan't bother again.

Been coming here for years when in the area the food hasn't missed a beat in quality Those who have dietary issues should be great here as they will try and cater Always welcoming and you will make it a place you will be coming back to

Lovely little pub. Sat outside on a sunny afternoon with my husband and dog for a few drinks. Nice enough and not over priced either.

Real ales and pub area are fantastic. However meals in restaurant section were disappointing. Have been here previously and had great food, but both meals I have had this week were poor. Dry & looking microwaved with tasteless vegetables. Shame you can only rate once as bar and restaurant are run as separate businesses (bar service/beer 5 stars).

Really nice welcome Great food and drink relaxing place. Great thank you

Not our usual pub enjoy the visit

Really nice traditional pub with a great selection of beers

I visit this place anytime I visit Ingoldmells. It's become somewhat of a tradition to visit, since being a kid. *If dining, ring ahead to ensure a table is available as it can get fully booked quickly, especially during high season/school holidays. The food Is always delicious, the atmosphere is pleasant and family friendly, and the staff are always happy to wait on you. Good choice of menu, catering to special diets if needed - purchase your drinks at the bar if eating in - good selection of beers, soft drinks, wines and spirits. Overall, fair pricing and good energy. Personal thoughts: I love this place for its home-from-home feel. I compare this place to dining at home, with a "butler service". In other words, the staff are welcoming, down to earth, professional, helpful, and always happy to share in a little banter - that's what helps make The Countryman what it is - it's a place run by people just like you and I. New for 2022/2023 - also host to a new caravan and camping park to the rear. Nice and small, sweet and simple! I visited during peak season (summer holidays 2023).

Nice pub with friendly service. They have 4 of their own beers but there are 3 on cask at any one time. They do a sampler of 3 thirds of a pint for 3.80. No wifi. They do food. There's outdoor seating.

What an absolute gem, food was amazing, proper home cooked. Our waitress ( Sam ) was lovely. Would definitely recommend 5 *

We have eaten here quite a few times as we know we will get quality food, on this occasion as always the food was first class but the girl serving us was running round doing alsorts while the older lady just sat down on her phone, then started loudly talking on video talk with someone. We was sat there for a good 45 minutes and she never moved from her seat. Admittedly it wasn't overly busy, but it's just not right. We'll be back again soon as we've booked for Sunday lunch with friends. Food is still amazing.

Been to Skegness a few times as a couple and been to a few restaurants,so on our last night but one we went on a walk about and found The Countryman pub.We had a few drinks but was too late to eat as didn't book.So on our last day went out for the day, so we went back looking forward to trying their food.Well it was worth the wait .I had a Roast dinner while my Mrs had the cottage pie ,the mark of good home made food is there is no talking just enjoying the food and when we had both finished no words needed just had the same look on our faces HEAVEN.So we both said then got to have a desert, se we both had the chocolate Fudge cake OMG that topped the night off ,so when it came to pay the bill I asked the amount again then told them to add a tenner to the bill.She asked are you sure could do £5 if u like ,I said trust me £10 was worth and made her smile .Please if you are going Skegness try this little food heaven ,enjoy if you do 👌😊👍.
