The Crown Inn in East Lindsey

We called in on a Wednesday evening for tea only to be told no food until Friday! Despite the advertising outside and it being late June.

We had a Sunday lunch meal booked by our friends and it was cancelled Saturday the rather expensive seafood van supplied our table for Sunday! sad was looking forward to it!

Nice pub friendly staff very quiet the night we were in but it was mid week reasonably priced drinks

First rate pub grub with a varied menu. Excellent friendly and helpful service. Good seating outside, and good value for money.

We visited the crown Sunday evening ordered a pizza and chips delicious highly recommend pizza perfect delicious

Took my family of 15 in there and when we walked in were told there’s another pub in the village! So walked out! Extremely rude as we were willing to spend a lot of money in there! So there loss! We did goto the other pub The New Inn, where they were more than welcoming and friendly staff! All enjoyed the meal! Would not recommend going to The crown as it’s very clicky and unwelcoming!

Food absolutely beautiful, great value and proper nice family run pub the place is a lot cleaner and the atmosphere under the new landlord and land lady is amazing , hats off to the chef who delivered excellent quality fresh food

Lovely lamb shank and veg, very tasty. Counter staff not very customer focused. Menu printed on black background. Very hard to read, no desserts which was disappointing

Well nothing wrong with the place great staff lovely food. You have got to realise its only a small pub so why people winge about food times when it's busy and you have slot of people ordering it does take time. So keyboard warrior s take note

The only reason it got 1 star because I have to, otherwise it would have been 0! What an absolute disgrace. Food came in plastic baskets and foil trays, didn’t eat a thing as it completely put me off, and quite a few things missing, very unsightly and the mushy peas on the scampi were dry. For this delightful meal to arrive we had to wait over an hour. Sometimes good thing come to those who wait, not on this occasion. This was by far THE WORST pub meal I have ever had. The ONLY good thing about it was the lady who served us, very professional and polite, which cannot be said for the lad stood at the bar who kept giving us the dead eye and was quite clearly talking about us to the other member of staff. Felt very uncomfortable. Very very poor and would NOT recommend to anyone. WHO SERVES PUB MEALS ON FOIL TRAYS AND PLASTIC BASKETS??? 😤😤😤 Disgusting. No member of management came over to apologise, and said lad from bar sent the lovely girl over to deal with us. WIMP 😤😤😤

Excellent pub staff always friendly .Food very good always cooked to perfection and taste wonderful.Great place for meeting people and having a good laugh.Very clean and tide would definitely recommend this place although the negative comments are untrue as had never had any problems here.The owners Dave and Hayley are brilliant too always welcome you excellent.

Average is the word. Food was ok but not by any means outstanding. The pub would benefit from some refurbishment. The staff huffed a bit when taking orders. Yes average is the word for this pub

Our visit began when we went to find a member of staff so we could find the table we had booked, unfortunately it appeared we were a bit of an inconvenience as she huffed on our arrival. We asked if perhaps we could sit outside in the sunshine and she grumbled that our food would get cold outside and that she would have to removed the reserved sign from the table inside (it wasn't busy and also it was about 22 degrees outside). I asked for a highchair for my daughter and the staff member said she wouldn't be able to carry it so we said we would collect it. It was absolutely filthy and caked in old food, I wish I had taken a picture. I asked for something the clean it with and she said they get cleaned after each use but we could go inside and get a cloth. Even after I had cleaned it I didn't let my daughter sit in it. There was no apology or acknowledgement of the dirt. We then asked for our carvery and went inside to collect it. It was luke warm with boiled veg and dry meat. Very disappointing. The lady that had 'served' us was inside at this point and moaning about some other customers 'asking stupid questions'! It was honestly awful, I can't believe they have 4 stars on trip advisor! Apparently it was a nice pub previously. My dad who had made the booking said the person on the phone the day before had been very friendly and professional, its a shame the rest of the staff aren't!! I looked behind the bar as I carried my carvery outside and the floor was really dirty, I didn't visit the toilets and I'm glad I didn't! I can't express enough how much I would not recommend this place, I don't think I have ever been anywhere before where there has been nothing to compliment. Oh, the benches outside were painted nicely! We paid and left as unfortunately with her attitude, even if we had mentioned any of the above it would have just been us that she was moaning about to the other staff! I'm really not sure why they work in a pub serving the public, especially next to a holiday park!!!

10 minute walk from Sunnydale holiday park. Friendly helpful landlady, staff and local customers. Socially distanced tables. We only went at lunch times, excellent haddock chips and peas, we had to ask when we returned for a smaller portion of chips as the meals are large. We would certainly return here if we are in the area again.

Visited here in June 2021 having read the Trip Advisor reviews. Despite the negative reviews it wasn’t enough to put us off but I wish that it had! Firstly, we were a family of 12 and had booked 2 tables a day in advance. We were seated straight away (there was no one else there) and ordered shortly afterwards. Despite this our food took the best part of 90 mins to arrive. In the midst of this we tried to order scampi but were told (40 mins later) that there wasn’t any. These things happen so we ordered something else. However, no less than 20 mins after that (and an hour after first ordering)…the scampi had appeared!! Amazing. Despite the 90 min wait for our food none of the staff asked if we wanted our drinks refilling or gave any reassurances that we hadn’t been forgotten about. Once the food did appear it was all served on paper inside cardboard trays?? Not a bit of crockery in sight. Oh and we also had to ask if we could have some cutlery!! The staff then served the adults first and left the small children to wait another 10-15 mins for their food??? Generally the Crown Inn is a bit run down and the food was tasteless and greasy. Save your time and money and go somewhere else.

Pub within 10minute walk of Sunnyside camp site. A pint of John Smith's for £3, can't go wrong. A 250ml glass of white wine for £3.50, definitely can't go wrong!! Had a takeaway from here, excellent value and tasty food. Well worth a visit if you're in the vicinity.

So we booked a weekend away at a nearby caravan park and spotted this pub on our way in. As we are all adults, we don’t normally stay on site and prefer to support nearby communities by spending our money in local pubs. So once checked in and all unpacked we headed out to the Crown. We planned to stay all afternoon and evening too. On arrival we were seated at a table and given a menu. There were only six meals to chose from but that didn’t matter as we were all hungry and glad to relax. We ordered food and drinks and began to unwind and enjoy our break away. The beer was crisp and tasty and the food plentiful and delicious. But we were let down by the miserable old lady who served us. She was scruffy looking, rude and not friendly at all. Once we’d eaten and ordered another drink she came and put a sign on our table saying it was reserved from 7pm. Didn’t even look at us and muttered you have to be gone by then and walked off. We even over heard her saying she couldn’t wait for holiday season to be over as she dislikes tourists! Well we voted with our feet and drank up. We didn’t do anything wrong, we kept ourselves to ourselves, and to be treated like that, well we didn’t even bother then to order more drinks or spend any more money. Proper ruined our nice experience. There were four of us, all big drinkers with plenty of holiday spends. We never returned after that and probably never will. Shame as well, because the pub wasn’t far from the caravan site, and everything else was spot on.

The Crown should just do drinks. They put big tables in such a small room! I went for a quick Sunday dinner but turned out I had to wait an hour till it was my turn to go in. They ran out of mash so they had to make more which took 20minutes. If you do food you should always have enough.

well this pub is amazing the staff are very friendly specially the landlord and landlady and the bar staff are excellent too.Also the serving girls are very welcoming and very chatty the food is excellent specially the carvery on a sunday you must go and try this place out EXCELLENT

Went this lovely pub yesterday for some lunch & drinks food was excellent and staff were great 👍the landlord & landlady were suppored host. I highly recommended it!

We were late (about 3pm) so most roast dinner meat had sold out apart from one lamb shank which my partner had and I had a homemade chicken and mushroom pie. The food was delicious. Tasted like proper home cooking to us, would recommend and visit again.Owners/staff really friendly and they allow dogs. The place did look a bit grubby but looks like they are doing part of it up at the moment.

Decent boozer popped in for a beer pub grub looked decent all served with chips good prices, had a friendly atmosphere

Went in to have a drink and was advised to come in for a meal on a Thursday about 7.30 because of Bingo we did and was ignored. Walked out.

We visited here on our first night on holiday. They were very welcoming and kids are allowed. We visited for food. Firstly we went to order but somethings were not on the menu, the chef was very apologetic and explained that he was just taking over and was running stock down so he could start doing his own thing. I chose a burger and my meal was lovely, homemade chips too which is always a nice surprise, my partner had liver in a yorkshire pud, but it was cold, however he didnt like to complain as they had been so friendly, had we complained im sure it would have been fixed.Overall food let them down but there pints were brilliant.

While waiting for food looking round dining room in need of a very good clean on looking out of the window there was a RAT eating something in the yard we will not be returning abain

Four of us popped in for an evening meal whilst camping. The menu seemed to have a good choice and the specials board had a selection of pies.My wife and myself oppted for pies.The meals cost about £7.99 per meal.What we got was pies that had come out of a packet from what looked the local discout supermarket.The gravy arrived just before we finished the meal and the waitress said she was sorry she had forgot and the gravy was thick and congealed.Our friends also ate with us and they had scampi and the other curry and chips.The presentation was bad the service was bad and the food made from cheap ingredients.Never again.

Popped in for tea. Had lamb n mint pie. Blinking gorgeous. Well worth it. Lovely staff. Great company

We popped into The Crown as it was close to where we were staying on holiday and advertised food served all day. It was about 5pm on a Sunday and chose the Sunday lunch that was supposed to be served all day but unfortunately they had run out!So we went for something quick & basic ham, egg & chips after waiting nearly an hour we asked a waitress where our meal was & was told sorry but someone had needed to go out and get more ham as they had run out of ham!15 mins later our meal was finally served it was fine for what it was but nothing special & definitely not worth the wait.I wouldn't bother visiting again

Nice old Pup by the coast. Everybody seems to very friendly. Always busy with tourist, all chatting. Beer and service is good.. Landlord / Lady, very nice and welcoming .

Popped in whilst out for a walk in the evening and found the staff to be friendly and the food was tasty and well presented. We had the Burger & Chips and a Prawn Salad which both get top marks.

Great village pub, Kim and Ady ,are so nice we use the pub all the time, good home cooked food, they have a lot on, skittles night, bingo nights, and music on most weekends, they also do B and B for less than £30 a night , nice rooms clean . Give it a try

Two years ago I had a dreadful meal here but since new Landlords have arrived it is so much more friendly and the food is really getting there. The home cooked chips are great. Now dog friendly a real plus.

Tenemos una casa de vacaciones cerca de la New Inn donde sirven comida durante todo el día durante el período de vacaciones. En la tarde temprano no llama muchas otras personas, decidimos hacer partícipe y bocados ligeros. El partícipe sería lo suficientemente bueno como plato principal, mucha variedad y salsas. Mi esposa tenía una papa al horno y me tomé una hamburguesa tanto muy abundante y muy bien preparada y presentada. Sin duda estar llamando de nuevo.

Como teníamos caminamos con nuestro perro por dos horas, y el otro pub en el pueblo ya no sirve comida, no teníamos elección. Francamente nos hubiera sido mejor que simplemente tenía una pinta y a pie. Muy inusual para mí a una mala crítica y, quizás porque era el almuerzo de domingo que eran muy concurrido, pero la carne asada era horrible, las verduras por lo que eran mal alto. Jardín? Una pequeña zona de hormigón al lado de la carretera principal. En general, una mala experiencia. La única luz brillante la camarera joven.

Staff couldn't read the menu properly,didn't know what food went with what, frozen cheap veg,Kids running behind the bar complete and utter mayhem. This should be renamed The Titanic because it certainly sank on our maiden voyage, Give it a miss, over priced ,rubbish quality, nasty food,

Tuvimos un tiempo estupendo alojarse un par de noches. Comida, buena cerveza y una muy cálida bienvenida del personal y los dueños. Un lugar que sin duda recomiendo.

I have frequented this establishment many times over the last 12 years. I originally worked at Sunnydale and happened upon it on my day off (there weren't many!) I have family that live near by and have always opted to stay in the crown rather than with them (which speaks volumes) Alan and Dee are nothing short of fantastic hosts and they know their trade well. The crown is a rustic little pub/eatery/bed and breakfast. Ample parking and easy to find. The guestrooms are clean and comfortable and the pub offers activities for all, including bingo, karaoke and quizzes with decent prizes. In short there is very little a place like this can't do. I highly recommend a visit weather just passing or planning a short stay. A massive pat on the back to the owners.

We were staying at a nearby holiday park but used this pub every night as we found it nice and friendly.We were in Saltfleet mid September 2016 and the pub opened a 5pm each evening however during the main holiday seasons it does open at midday. The bar has a selection of beers including 3 handpulled real ales, the food was excellent and the wait was not too long however the only night they don't serve food is a Tuesday.

Stayed nearby and luckily popped in for Sunday lunch - fabulous dinner and such welcoming people. We went back to watch the football the next day, a nice mix of locals and holiday makers. The curry night us a bargain too - would certainly return if in this area again. Thanks for your hospitality.

Stopped of here for dinner on a sunny afternoon, the staff were very friendly, the menu was decent, and most importantly, the food is freshly cooked. We all enjoyed our Meals, I personally would recommend the parsnip, butternut squash and sweet potato pasta bake - delicious!

We went early on Friday night. Food was hot and freshly prepared. Staff seemed friendly. Curry night is on Fridays and Son was pleased with it!!

Couple of visits whilst staying at Sunnydale holiday Park, a good pint and decent food, although I wanted steak pie and they'd run out! Give cashback too if paying by debit card. Good pool room for the kids

OK to visit, called in here on the way back from Donna Nook, everywhere else in between closed! Family thought prices OK, we thought a bit expensive. Ordered chips, wedges with dip and one person combo, 3 drinks = £15. Power cut after our food served, from then on only sandwiches (not sure about drinks with electric pumps?)

Ate here while on holiday with wife and daughter. Wonderful and friendly service from the start and throughout. Food was wonderful and well prepaired and the kids meal was good value. Would highly reccommond.

Stayed on a nearby campsite for a weekend away with the family, when eight of us decided to go to the Crown Inn for a meal. And we was glad we did, the food, the service and the staff were brilliant. Everyone had different meals yet we all said that we had enjoyed what had eaten.The food was brought out in good time and altogether no waiting for everyone to get theirs.And the staff were very friendly, polite and made us feel welcome.Decided to stay in the pub alnight and also joined in on their pub quiz.Even the locals were all friendly and were a good laugh.Everyone really enjoyed the evening and would go back again.The only downside was that we only went in on the last night and not the first, we would have gone in every night.

We paid a visit to THE CROWN INN and found a GEM... The landlord and landlady are the heart and soul of this village pub they made us feel very welcome from the minute we arrived as we were staying @ SUNNYDALE TOURING SITE "PARK RESORTS" a short distance from the village with our friends and had to find somewhere for the four of us to get a good meal and a decent pint ! The CROWN INN was just the ticket so we used it every evening during our entire stay (5 nights) Good food & drink at this friendly village pub Without doubt the making of our holiday,Thank's for everything hope to visit you again, "The HULL'Y GULLY'S"

Had the Roast beef Sunday lunch and it was lovely. Loads of veg and thick slices of roast beef. Enough gravy to swim in! Very good value for money, and the draught ales on offer were well kept.

Really Nice Evening Place to relax after a long beach walk or to watch football or just for a drink really good .. !!!

Ate here over the weekend whilst staying at Sunnydale park up the road. Phoned mid-afternoon to ask for a table for 11 that night. Very helpful and accommodating landlord who told me that whilst they don't normally take reservations, he'd ensure there was room for us at the agreed time. It was a nice touch. The food is sturdy, honest pub grub. It might not win any awards, but it absolutely does the job and is very good value. Not one of our group had a duff meal or any cause for complaint. On the contrary, everyone agreed that after a long day trying to tire the kids out, it was just the tickets. Overall, if you're staying at one of the local caravan parks and want a place with a warm welcome, no-nonsense tucker and a good pint, then I'd heartily recommend The Crown. We arrived a little unsure what to expect but left really happy (and full).

We visit here on a regular basis this visit is two of our grandchildren they love it food and hosts great place to be.a good area plenty of interest in surrounding area including Donna nook and the Seal Sanctuary

Food was terrific value, the beer prices were a lot better than sunnydale. We would have stayed in but unfortunatly, children have to leave by 9pm. We hope to visit the crown again next year

Been here a few times never disappointed, hearty Sunday dinners fab deserts and great pub food.Welcoming atmosphere from staff and locals, good selection of drinks, pool table,dart board, sport on tv, all in all worth a visit ☺

We have been visiting Saltfleet for the last five years, due to the non-commercial aspect of the village. The Crown Inn really fits into this little niche. We have spent several nights listening to the entertainment and enjoying the atmosphere and surroundings. This time we brought few food provisions as we had decided to eat out, we were not disappointed. I had the chilli con carne with half rice and chips. It was well presented and very tasty. My husband had the chicken and thoroughly enjoyed his dish.Definateley recommend.
