The Griffin in East Lindsey

Great little pub and great atmosphere

Great friendly local pub. Staff and the local people make you feel very welcome and comfortable. Has 2 real ale pumps aswell.

Expensive beer and not the best pint

At first glance from the outside it may put “tourists” off, trust me, as a weekend tourist, go inside and have a beer or a game of pool, we were a little apprehensive first time we went in, how wrong we were and now it’s one of our favourites in Chapel, staff and locals who drink there have always made us welcome, and that includes our furry little friend too, 100% recommended

Great pub, we visit every year as a group of 8 lads, staff remember us and are friendly, good prices and selection, very warm and welcoming atmosphere and if you love Cider ask for the 3 thatchers in 1, it is lovely

Easily the worst pub in Chapel ! Beer maybe ok if you ever get served ! Staff seem to be too busy talking between themselves! Premises needs a complete makeover ! No doubt they will not miss my custom ! I certainly will not miss going back !

A brilliant little pub so friendly.

Great place. Friendly locals, amazing bar staff and treats for the doggo. Highly recommended.

Grat place friendly cosy nice selection of drinks

Lovely staff the gaffer a good pool player friendly atmosphere

Very quiet so left by 10.40pm was so disappointed 😥 as we like the pub, so only 2stars for new year's eve!!!!!! On the other hand most of the year, staff are very friendly and the locals always make you feel welcome!!!!

I'm in Chapel St. Leonards for a week. Been to this pub for a couple of hours today. Brilliant. Very friendly staff and locals, very, very dog friendly. Nice music playing. I'll be going back. Didn't have food but may try. Relaxing place to go.

Proper local boozer, very welcoming from locals and staff alike

Nice dog friendly pub. Good beers at a fair price. When it is too busy in the village this is the place to go.

The most friendliest place I've visited in Lincolnshire... the most welcoming staff and customers made us feel so welcome and had a fabulous night with everyone in the Griffin big shout out to the manager Katie she makes that pub ... thankyou so much Katie for a fab warm welcoming night for two weary yorkshire FRIENDS !!!!!!

Excellent real ales friendly staff

Decent beer, good staff - cosy inside

Great little pub, very friendly staff and customers. The one place we always try to get to when we're up in Chapel.

A Fantastic local pub with great Staff and a fantastic atmosphere

Used to be my favourite pub but now it's almost unbearable as the staff are disrespectful to customers and will bad mouth them to other customers making them feel uncomfortable even my wife doesn't feel welcome here anymore

Very cosy. The staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them.

Great beer and different pub games through the week, bar staff are hilarious!

Nice place to relax with friends and partake in a shandy . This pub allows dogs. No food served but nice small selection of drinks

Been going here for sometime . Nice pint, shame they are no longer doing food.

Traditional pub where you can sit outside with a nice pint and watch the world go by. Staff are great and the locals are friendly. Would definitely visit again!!!

It was a dive. Never felt welcomed..Can't complain about bar staff but landlord wasn't interested in clientele.

Friendly pub for a quick refreshment before hitting the beach

Top good old fashioned boozer, nice beer good prices, no hussle n bussle, Mark the landlord top bloke

Very dissapointing been in there several times was told this time very rudeley they do not accept mask exemption lanyards their loss we took our money elsewhere.

The Griffin (big griff) has all the charm of a working men’s club in the late 90’s as the decor and furniture hasn’t been changed since. The lack card machine meant it was cash only, which added to the nostalgia (just a shame that all the notes are plastic now)! All in all the staff ran a tight ship, keen to uphold all data protection laws, which I can assure you is breath of fresh air for some of us. Can’t wait to go back in a couple of years and see what’s left of the flakey seats.

Bar man rudely told us the bar was closed clearly wasnt , spend your money elsewhere like we did ;go to the Trafalgar instead for nice food&drinks served by nice people been their many times really reccomend, turning away 3 customers at a time becaz their around 20 years old and wear clothes from JD isnt a good business model for the future not everyones on a one off holiday, ur turning away what would be repeating decent customers ,perhaps why this pub is now for sale (19/10/19) was definitely still open that day at that time as they served someone else this was confirmed by a regular outside who had no idea why ,after seeing us leave within a minute as we had spoken to him before entering

Good clean bar Timothy Taylor dark mild good service and great staff

Good pub lots going on at the weekend.and on Mondays they have a Monday club acts meat raffle bingo.

Don’t know if it’s because it was peak season but music was blasting out of the pub, lots of loud people in the front garden. Didn’t want to eat there.

Lovely family run pub homely atmosphere always made to feel very welcome xxx

Probably should stick to just being a pub. Food not up to much. Advertising very cheap meals. Reflected in poor quality

Came today with my girlfriend as on holiday in chapel. Thought save some money as it was 2 course for 6 pond, very tasty food and grate value for money. Grate selection of alcohol and very cheap prices would recommend to anyone in the area

Great pub. Friendly atmosphere. Good beer.

Genuinely welcoming, reasonable price on the drinks (pint of ale + g&t was £5.20). Clean and well stocked toilets (actually nice toilet roll!). Service great, they even hung about for us to finish our game of pool and checked at last orders if we wanted anything else! (we're terrible and it took ages). Also has a darts board :) In short, wikd pub! Check it out if you're nearby :) You will be pleased!

Amazing place for drink food & entertainment

Fantastic place! Absolutely lovely bar staff and lots going on for all ages!

Its a great pint and a good local pub

Great atmosphere friendly people

Very friendly and welcoming, enjoyed every minute x

Very tired pub, 2nd visit in a week. Won't be rushing back

Decided to eat here as they advertised 2 courses for £6 which is a good offer for a Sunday as most places are about £8 for 1 course. We went in ordered our drinks and food then went to sit down. After about an hour we finally got our main course and the food was lovely and piping hot. After another 20 mins from finishing our mains we got our pudding which was OK. Now the only reason I'm knocking this place is the amount of time it took to get our food although there was only 1 lady which was serving at the bar, taking food orders, bringing food out and the pub was quite busy. So maybe a few more staff would have been better but as I say the food was lovely

Food was really nice but we did wait for over an hour

A great pub, with excellent food and friendly staff too

Nice little pub open fire only went in for a pint not to expensive dog friendly would recommend

First visit welcoming and quiet.

Friendly place to eat good value

Great local pub. Live acts in Saturday afternoons. Small good quality menu.

Very friendly pub with top class real ale at very reasonable price.

Lovely little pub, always use it. Good prices too.

Lovely friendly pub.dog friendly. Nice beers.food looks good.

Awful food not cooked right not a clean place would not recommend

Brilliant owners and even better music!

Friendly with good food and good real ales

Great friendly atmosphere,good food&beer at reasonable prices.

Visited in June, only for a quick drink with my good lady before going to the Italian. Went back on the 18th September in the afternoon with my good lady, what a surprise, live music , great atmosphere, good beer. Went back on the 24th, just as good. If you like going out in the afternoon, give this place a try. They also do food, not tried though but by all accounts it's good.

Called in for a drink and ended up staying for the duration, what a fantastic atmosphere! Live music on a Saturday afternoon the staff made us feel very welcome. Going to try the carvery today. Only one problem it took us til nearly the end of the holiday season to find this little gem

Went as family of 9. We were the only people ordering food and it took 1 hour to reach the table. Would go back for drinks but not for food with that wait. Also very small portions .

9 people went in to eat and it took over a hour to cook by someone who wasnt the chef . That food was dry / burnt and not worth the price . We ended up getting a takeaway because the postions were disgraceful . We will not bet visiting again .

Called in for a couple of beers on Saturday afternoon. The pub is reasonable smart inside, there's plenty of seating, both inside and out. At the time we visited there was a live band playing, the place was rocking, brilliant! Service at the bar was good, I had the hand pulled beer which was excellent. If this Saturday afernoon was anything to go by I'd certainly go back to visit.

the old no 10 just been given a new name, we were made to feel very unwelcome by the regular click but food looked decent ,

Found this little gem by accident while just over having look last Sunday. Saw Estrella on draught got 2 pints only to be Charged £6.00 which was great all the real ales are cheaper. The Estrella excellent as well as were the Staff. Barman called Andy Top fella. Then eat the food Sunday Roast was all home cooked & great. I highly recommend this place to anyone. I coming back in August. Locals all well friendly & 100% made us feel really welcome....

As with other places in Chapel St Leonards they give off a kind of locals only vibe, or maybe it's like that in low season? Either way, if you ignore it and go in you'll likely find somewhere friendly and with pretty decent food too! The Griffin is such a place. From the outside it looks like someone's house (and from what some locals told us it's only been open for a few months and was a B&B before) but inside it is quite nice, the central fire was lovely with how cold the wind made the area feel. The staff were incredibly friendly and the food we had (both of us had the home made steak and ale pie with mash and veg) was really good. Prices are very reasonable, at well under a tenner each. We hung around a bit and borrowed some darts, and only left when last orders were called (at around 9pm, but as I say it was low season and I can't say if it stays open later when it's busier.) All in all if we're back in the area The Griffin is somewhere we are highly likely to go again.
