The Gallery Restaurant in North East Lincolnshire

Venue is clean, light and comfortable with a conducive atmosphere . The hosts were exceptionally pleasant and attentive. The food was wonderfully well presented and was some of the tastiest that we had encountered in some time. Well done to all involved and thank you for an exceptional dining experience.

Great for lunch and evening meals. Excellent food and service with friendly young staff. One member of the party was lactose intolerancent. Alternatives to the menu offered with any hesitation..and one of our party purchased a dessert to take home as she was so impressed. Our servers Oscar and Lambert were excellent

As always delicious food and attentive service. The food is some of the best in the area, a real hidden gem.

Today the students hosted a charity cake sale. The cakes and cheesecake were delicious and at 50p each we bought one of everything and two of the cheesecake as that’s hard to share. I hope they were well supported and raised a healthy sum. On a final note, it’s been great to return to the college after a difficult year for staff and students. The food has been great from the start and, as always, an absolute joy to watch the students develop and grow through the year and I wish them all well with their exams and futures when they leave, their great food and service has seen the restaurant busy on lunchtimes and evening alike with a waiting list! Definitely worth attending for excellent food at a crazy price and looking forward to September when they reopen. WELL DONE EVERYONE

David: tribute to Indian Food evening great food, enjoyed everything and at just £13.50 for 3 courses exceptional value for money, looking forward to more outstanding food! Sandra: Love dining here, all praise to the students both in the kitchen and front of house. The food is great, excellent value and the students are helpful and polite and do their best to make it a great dining experience. Keep up the good work, this year has been exceptional so far.

We’ve visited The Gallery a few times now and just wanted to convey our special thanks to the Chefs, host and students for making all these brilliant efforts to feed us with their lovely professional food and make us feeling comfortable and welcomed.

We have eaten here several times with friends and we have never been disappointed. The food, service and price are excellent and the selection is fantastic. The staff in the kitchen and front of house are all students within the college and thanks to fantastic tuition you will have a meal that will not disappoint. Get booked in now and experience a delight!

I have been to this restaurant multiple times over the last few years with family, I have never had a bad meal here, the students are lovely, all very friendly, and it’s great to see them grow in confidence as the academic year passes. The food is always fantastic and very well priced, I would highly recommend the restaurant.

We visited today as a group of 8. All food was delicious, well presented and served expertly. Prices are extremely reasonable. I rarely write reviews and as I am seldom this impressed after being spoilt spending too much time in France and trying special restaurants in the UK such as Winteringham Fields. However, this lovely little restaurant is a must visit and a hidden gem! I have booked a table for next week it was that good.

Food was so good and staff were lovely and accommodating, would definitely come again and recommend 😊

This is the second time I have been and will be going again next week, the restaurant and the kitchen is run by students but they are overseen by their tutors , the students are attentive and friendly and I haven't been disappointed by the food . The menu changes every week and is a excellent price

Another fantastic meal at The Gallery. The students and tutors really excelled themselves yet again. Quail Scotch egg, leek and potato soup, roasted partridge salad, roasted pheasant breast and caramelised banana bavarois plus a complementary cocktail, all for £25 per person. Highly recommend The Gallery. Plus over £500 was raised on the night. Great evening.

We meet regularly for lunch in the Louth and Grimsby area. We enjoyed our lunches and have another booking next month.its one of our favourites for sure I wrote a glowing report last time. I’m still impressed and this time we were told that there were just 2students in the kitchen. They came out so that we could show our appreciation. Just have to point out that they were slow with sorting out the wine list/ orders. More direction to the students please? It’s the first thing I need as soon as I’m seated please, or let us go to the bar as we do in many restaurants/bars. Sorry I know you were stretched on Friday but my plate was cold. The Herby coated fish would have been very very good hot! I will be back,you are doing a good job. It is a real treat to meet you.

We lunch together regularly in the Louth and Grimsby area We were delighted with the way we were looked after and have already booked again! We preordered and our meals were served efficiently and in good time. The presentation of the meals was just excellent. The taste matched and we were all very happy. A real find and I’m thinking of making this a regular lunch stop on my way to Grimsby. The staff team worked well with the students. Front of House service was very good, handled with the students all working in a professional but friendly way. We were pleased to meet the chefs and give them well deserved applause. The wine list was very adequate too. I had the fish and chips....we all raved about the chips!

We've visited The Gallery several times recently. We believe in supporting young people who are trying to make a career in hospitality, and we also enjoy extremely good quality food, which consistently comes out of the kitchen. This evening was a Seafood Taster menu of seven courses, priced at £17.50 per person - an incredible price surely, in anyone's book. Lobster bisque with tempura crayfish tails; squid; lemon sole in a brown butter sauce; mussels; monkfish wrapped in prosciutto in a delicious tomato/salsa verde sauce; Bakewell tart; Bailey's crème brûlée. The lows revolve around service and this we find, is consistently poor. But this is not at all the fault of the students - they are simply not receiving instruction on how to wait at table, what to do and how to do it, what to say to customers and what not to say. They are not being 'shadowed' by someone with experience. Over three months, we've noticed not one sign of improvement. They should be supervised while they are waiting and given feedback on what they're doing well, and what they need to improve on. How can they possibly improve when they're just allowed to 'bumble along'? Some of the mistakes are so glaringly obvious, I cringe in embarrassment. At times I feel like I'm in a greasy spoon cafe, as my plate is plonked down resoundingly on the table with a cheery 'There ya go!' And to my shock, we were advised by the supervisor how to eat our bisque and crayfish tails, including which cutlery to choose. I've never been in a restaurant where someone has told me which knife/fork/spoon to use! This service factor alone means we'll have great reservations about returning. So sad, because the kitchen staff are superb.

Esta fue nuestra primera visita a la Galería y sin duda no será la última. Mi esposa eligió la sopa y el besugo, mientras me decidí por queso de cabra el seguido por las pintadas faggot. La sopa era excepcional y el chef fue lo suficientemente amable para dar una explicación de cómo y qué él juntas. El besugo era delicioso, cocinados a la perfección con una piel maravillosamente crocante. Las pintadas fue el especial del día, y también era de muy alta calidad. La cuenta fue de alrededor de £20, incluyendo una copa de vino y un refresco, seguramente no hay rival para ésta en la zona cuando se trata de relación calidad-precio.

Often have business catering or lunches here. Food always superb. Staff excellent. Hospitality overall very good. We are always looked after and would recommend highly.

Tuvimos una gran comida el jueves por la noche, pollo y aves o guinea parfait eran absolutamente increíble y no hubiera estado fuera de lugar en cualquiera de los llamados restaurantes de la zona. Todo el mundo está aprendiendo aquí así que hay indemnizaciones para algunos de los servicios, habiendo dicho esto, todavía es muy bueno. Los estudiantes estaban muy agradable y genuinamente felices de hacer lo que estaban haciendo, incluso la máquina de tarjeta no la trampilla. Lo disfrutamos tanto que reservamos de nuevo! Mencioné que una comida de tres platos era sólo 12.50 libras? Increíble!!!

Este es un restaurante de capacitación para estudiantes de hospitalidad y catering Grimsby Institute y es un privilegio para comer en la galería y ayudar a los estudiantes. No siempre es perfecta, pero nos gusta eso y los menús son siempre innovadores y conseguir una buena relación calidad-precio.

Doing a course for work was pleasantly surprised by the new buildings cafe, very bright seating area and the snacks were not bad.

What a great treat, definitely was not expecting top class menu and food. Rebooked the following morning on par with other fine dining restaurants at twice the price

Una comida, un buen servicio y un ambiente agradable. La comida es fresca y original, no dejes que el hecho de que es servido por los estudiantes te desanime, sin duda alguna saben lo que están haciendo y se les enseña muy alto nivel por los tutores.

Escribo esto un tiempo considerable después de la visita. Las preparaciones oncoming para Navidad lo puso en el quemador de vuelta hasta que finalmente se resbaló de la lista.

Enjoyed the black tie event at the gallery last night and it was delicious. The menu was set however staff were very accommodating when I requested a vegetarian menu. We were informed that they run the black tie events every few months which I will definitely attend in the future. Highly recommended!!

I often pop in to the Gallery when I am working in the area. There is a friendly atmosphere, the food is delicious and prices are great.

visited today for the first time, if these are the chefs and restaurant staff of the future, British cuisine is in good hands.

Just had our first meal here and to say it is a teaching environment it was exceptional I have had worse meals in top restaurants, well done to all

Can not believe that this place is not packed out, the food is amazing and the presentation makes you feel that your in a fine dining restaurant. Its cheap and on the many occasions I have dined 99% of the time you would never know that your in a college restaurant. If you have not been then try it and you will be surprised at how good it is for a fraction of the price of other restaurants in the area.

In the catering school at Grimsby College the students learn how to cook and wait on. You are the guinea pig and in return enjoy a small but creative menu of nicely cooked & presented food made from good quality ingredients served promptly & hot by friendly students. There's a bar so you can lounge before eating and wines by the bottle or glass. It's a comfortable atmosphere with subdued music and all at very modest prices. I would struggle to criticise anything, but expect some of the students to be a little nervous. Oh - as a previous reviewer wrote, it can be difficult to find and the map on the college website is no help. GRIMSBY COLLEGE PLEASE NOTE!

We visited on a Tuesday evening and were the only guests that evening. Although the students were very new , what they lacked in skills and experience they made up for in charm and willingness to learn and please. We had a tian of smoked trout with avocado followed by herb crusted cod, and tomato sauce and cous cous, followed by a Baileys bread and butter pudding. Other members of the party opted for onion soup and chicken chasseur with broccoli and Duchesse potatoes followed by Pear Helene. Everything was well cooked and presented and the wine list is also very reasonable.

Although we haven't been for a few months we always found the food excellent.The food is cooked and prepared by students working towards their degrees.The students take their turn cooking or waiting.The restaurant is only open during college terms

I treated my Mother and I to a meal at Grimsby College. Somewhat difficult to find the restaurant, they really could do with some more signs. We were treated to 2 courses (8.50 for both) and of a standard that I would expect at more fancier places. My chicken and ginger spring rolls were crisp and not at all greasy. Mothers minted pea soup was thick and served with a delightful bread with chilli butter. I had the special, chicken korma , which was rich and satisfying. Mother opted for a goats cheese ravioli.All in all I would say this is an amazing place to go to. £8.50 for 2 courses at lunch time and banquet meals in the evening at prices you would pay for a basic indian. this place really deserves to be booked out every day.
