The Friary in North East Lincolnshire

The Friary is now Boston Brothers..looking good after a full refurb...original decor ideas and nicely styled...fresh vibe good music and food was excellent...give this place a try.

Looking great, new bar products

Now closed down for good such a shame

Closed for good recently ! No great loss anyway.Toilets smelly and used by all kinds of undesirables.Drinks so cheap it attracted all the wrong crowd, cant handle their drink then causing triubke far too often.Shame is these will move on to another local and lower the tone there too if nothing is done prevention wise

Can not believe the price! Will be back and the service was great too. Could do with a lick of paint though but can not fault the place

Just had to comment on Deanna and josh, 2 lovely staff, well mannered and so polite and a credit to their employer, will definitely be going again.

Cheeper than the rest of Grimsby

Great atmosphere!, cheap Beer but a good pint.Staff friendly and quick service.

Staff are always friendly & helpful. Was treated with a warm welcome, and drinks are at a very good valued price

Very clean. They are excellently following covid guidelines. The staff are always friendly and happy in their work. Nice atmosphere, will return.

Really nice staff always look after you I really like going in really nice place

The staff are spot on always so helpful so glad all the staff are back working xxx

Quick and easy beer prices reasonable. Table service very good.

Staff very rude and slow to serve you

Barman with tattoos on his face is very rude.place has no atmosphere at all.

Friendly, comfortable and superb service

Not asked about track and trace sit where you want, again cheap drinks

Love a cold one after a town game. Thought I’d try out this place and where do I start. Carling was poor, venue was poor, staff was bang average.

it's a great place to meet up with your friends, drinks are the cheapest in town. you can have a laugh with the staff.

On entering it was lively but the staff very soon got to taking our order (and the price was reasonable) will use again on our next visit. Nothing is to much trouble for the staff anf the local knowlage was very good

Pub no longer holds a license so no children, toilets are kept in a very poor condition, staff have a terrible attitude towards helping customers and there was glass everywhere. If I could give it a 0 I would.

Amazing prices, staff really friendly and efficient, pub could do with a spruce up but if you like a pint, great prices and watch all the sports the friary really is the place to be

Great prices, great atmosphere, could do with a juke box but playlists are usually good

It is a nice place to meet people 😉

Won't be going here again till the stench is sorted

Cheap and cheery, great prices nice beer garden, good service too.

The pricing of the drinks was amazing disappointing they no longer serve food. The staff were all lovely. However it needs a clean (see photo) and the smell from the toilets made us move further down the pub.

£1.75 for a pint of Strongbow.. what no to love!

Great beer and super cheap. £1.75 for Carling and most others

Good place to meet people and good bar staff to all your needs

It's a great public house the staff are great and it's decent priced

Visit the pub often, staff are always friendly and welcoming! Prices are stupidly cheap always worth coming here, would highly recommend! Best beer garden too!

Cheap but completely devoid of life for the cricket world cup final (Beer was ok ish)

We popped in here for a drink mid way through a hot day of shopping and was so pleasantly surprised with the range of drinks on offer- all for such a good price! The pub is so spacious and well decorated, we loved sitting out in the beer garden and the staff were so friendly.

Great drinking pub full of characters

Since when was you not allowed to take children in here? Use to go in now and again for a meal with family and my children, to go in last week walk through the pub sit down with my son to be told sorry no children allowed since when?? No notice anywhere saying sorry no children it's just rude!!!

Went in for some dinner from a busy shopping trip and was absolutely disgusted with the limited menu options we wanted proper food not snacks you guys have let yourself down it used to be nice but now it really has gone down hill you should be ashamed of yourselfs I will not be visiting again and would not recommend you to anybody.

Grateful for this place good food and nice people that work there

Beautiful barmaid shut at 'nine on Saturday night cheap beers result people reflecting that staff brilliant good hard workers

Was in there today with a couple of friends to grab a quick lunch and a couple of beers before we set off on a lads stag do. The burgers we had were fantastic. I had the pulled pork burger with curly fries. It was HONESTLY - best burger I've had in ages! Staff were really helpful and friendly. Drinks were PROPER DEAD CHEAP! Bought a 5 drink round... Got change from a tenner! You can tell the regulars like the place. Plenty of banter between the staff and the customers

Went in there, toilet roll all over the floor (where people eat food). Paid a pound for the game of pool and a fiver deposit for the cues. Put money in the table and had no white ball. Asked bar guy for a white ball but apparently he doesn’t have any so he gave me a red one with pen drawn on it. What use is a red ball with pen on it????? Of course my friends and I being proper crap at pool we potted this ‘white’ ball instantly and of course it never came back. If you are going to let people play pool in your pub that is going to be as crap as this, you need to stop charging for a game, or at least give us a white ball. Didn’t even buy a pint in the pub was too mad.

I have been here now several times with service users from work however I would not attend out of personal choice. The locals that frequent this place continuously and loudly display rude and intrusive behaviour which for families would not be nice. I've only ever had good and friendly service from one staff member and have always had long waits for food. Plus side is that it is cheap and in the middle of the town centre.

Nice place to take a pint or two

Very wonderful place for a drink and a game of pool/snooker , brilliant food and staff , can't fault them at all

Always enjoyed the food here and the drinks. Once got locked in the men's though as the lock and door could see better days, the man that came to my rescue just kinda pushed the door and let me out, then shrugged. Ha That being said, it's worth a visit and is better food than a few locals close by.

cheaper than anywhere else in town!

Lovely food great staff all in great local pub

Went for a late breakfast. Staff were very helpful even to a very awkward lady who was sitting next to me.

Jess, Owen and the team always offer a warm welcome.

Top pub. Very cheap prices. The local lads that drink in there on a regular basis are spot on proper liven the place up. Does need sky sports back though.

Food good, best drink prices in town. Toilets always very clean. Need Sky Sports back, they have BT SPORTS to make 5 stars

Big screen and big garden. Pool table and friendly staff. Drinks are cheap and prices don't change for the weekend etc. *****

The breakfast was fab here yesterday. Me and my family were impressed plus there was unlimited tea & coffee. Definitely would go again.

Nice pub located in town centre. Good drinks offers and nice food.

Good place for a lunch while shopping in town, wouldn't recommend for a evening meal

We often pop in here as it's a relaxed atmosphere but the last time I had something to eat here it was awful.

Cheapest burger in town (~6£ with drink included), good service but can be slow if busy, nice garden and venue also looks nicer from inside

Visited on a sunny Saturday afternoon,went to the bar and ordered 6 pints of carling... Was absolutely stunned when bar staff said "£10-50 please" amazingly the price for a pint was 1-75.. We asked how come and was to,d it was that price everyday until further notice..We regularly use the Friary and the price reduction is an added and welcome bonus to our visits to this decent town centre pub.

Reasonable priced food and drinks

Verry good meals verry friendly service

One star is too much but the least rating we could leave. Visited early afternoon before an appointment & Hubby had an all day breakfast, which looked like it had been cooked at breakfast time and kept under the grill. I had scampi, chips and peas and the only descent food was the peas. MASSIVLEY OVERCOOKED. Hash browns tasted of scampi so we know how they were cooked. Conveyor belt of ready cooked food we think is the best description.

My wife &i; called in for lunch on arriving which was about 1pm most of the tables still had dirty plates left on them we found a table with just a coupke of dirty glasses which was promptly taken away how ever the table was still dirty &sticky; buy whichtime a young kady was going round wiping them .we both decided to order the burgers &soft; drinks we waited approx 30 to 40 minutes for the food to arrive which was served up on a wooden board which had a piece of grease proof paper covering the board the board had many cut marks in the wood not very hygienic i wouldn't have thought the chips were nice &hot; how ever the burgers were only just warm which means they had been sat around for some time before arriving at our table normally most places ive been you are asked if everythings ok which i would have said some thing my wife asked for the condiments she was tokd there over there couldnt wait to leave

Beautiful food not really for kids

Great food most weeks and friendly.

Had a meal and drinks i had burger and chips the burger was tough and chewy if you no what I mean won't be eating burger again in there

Good food good beer and really good service

Slow service and tables not cleared quick enough staff do not listen to each other and don't seem to listen to customers

Lovely food and the staff are very friendly and polite. Would recommend .

Town centre (pedestrian so no car park) bar / restaurant, multi screen, lots of loud drinkers. One insipid real ale, food (cod & chips and a burger) OK but not inspiring. Portions small although chips were good & hot. Generally down market. However the staff were commendable, reserved a good table for the two of us, brought food promptly and with a smile. Frankly I'd prefer Wetherspoons where the food is a little better and the beer too.

This pub offers a very good and social approach to people with a very good sense of humour the bar staff are first class and the food that is on offer is very good and at a reasonable price 🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️

Cheap beer & great bar staff & for the first time we had a sausage bun & it was yummy nice one chef 👍😎😎

Was ok mix grill was all on a small skillet so found it hard to to cut food without it falling off

I went to order food at 20:15 hrs to order food to be told the chef had gone home. Surely there should have been a sign to notify customers that food was not available

Lovely staff - too bad they've changed the chocolate fudge cake recipe 🍰

We came here on our first ever visit to Grimsby with my partner and 7 Month year old child. The place wasn’t too busy and relatively clean for a bar that has a big turn over. We both decided on a Burger as they had a 2 for 1 deal on, I was very surprised at the deals they do much better than spoons. I ordered two burgers and two drinks for £12, which was great value for money!!

Better now the heating is back on

Food takes a while to come, but other than that nice place to go

Κλασική αγγλική pub. Όχι Λονδίνο.

Came to the friary whilst out in Grimsby and found they did buy one get one free on burgers on Tuesdays so burgers were ordered and they came with only a 10 minute wait.great food well worth the visit as will be the return visit we are planning

Nice friendly staff and good atmosphere. Good quality fresh food served.

Polite and apologetic as we waited 50 mins for simple meal and only a few in. Quality was awful... Burnt meat, undercooked veggies wrong fries. Couldn't be bothered to wait another hour for sweets.

Lovel meal today and great bar ppeopl .will be back X

A good value boozer in the centre of town also offering surprising good food at a decent price. Could do with a refurb.

Fantastic pint for myself... cup of tea ,1.29 unlimited bargain ... great atmosphere

Excellent service good food and wine comfortable seating would recommend

Very sad deterioration of a much loved pub, formerly Edwards. Very old and dated, carpets smell foostie and damp? Staff are friendly and welcoming though

Good food good staff short on single malt and cask ales

Normally good food but had fish and chips today and the fish batter was too cripsy/hard and the fish inside was watery because it was frozen. Had to leave it because it wasnt eatable for me. Disapointed.

I wasn't given a knife, only got very small portions of chips and was staired at all the time we were there, but food was good.

Really friendly staff. Had such a good night there! Food and alcohol was great! Definitely would recommend to all!

Great service bar staff are a good laugh and welcoming and food is nice all round good place 👌🙄

Me and a group of friends were out for Halloween. We hadn’t been in the friary for years but thought we would pop in, so glad we did!!

Not been here for years so wanted to see what it was like. The food was all gorgeous and all homemade and was brought out fairly quickly and well presented. All the staff I encounter were all lovely and friendly. I would highly recommend

Good pub to watch your evening football games

Five of us called in over the weekend,great friendly service and quality drinks too.A welcome return to the Friary we enjoyed for many years now.Great to sit outdoors for a relaxing drink and catch up with family and friends

Staff are friendly and the food is good 😊

Lovely little pub, me and my partner love coming here for a beautifully cooked pub grub style meal!! Definitely recommend

As a fairly regular user of this establishment on a lunch time I can say that it's a good central place to meet friends, the food is a reasonable price for town centre and the bottomless coffee pot a dream. Most staff are brill and their gammon is superb (the egg sometimes hard) but otherwise delish.

Very nice atmoshere friendly staff overall nice pub

Always go when I'm out shopping with my Friend for breakfast,the staff very welcoming and cheerful very reasonable
