The Honest Lawyer in North Lincolnshire

Saturday night Good beer. All quite pleasant Sunday morning Breakfast was ok. Coffee was terrible.

Best vibe and staff in town, now they've added incredible food to the mix. Dan arranged our wedding food which was pie and peas and they were immense 👌👌 Couldn't recommend the place more

Dead helpful, very intelligent, outstanding food medium breakfast just enough to fill you for the day. All our three breakfast plates were empty…

Very friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere

Super Friendly Best Breakfast locally Flavoured Porridge was stunning and Hubby really enjoyed the quality and portion size of the breakfast ❤️

Cosy friendly small pub, very popular and busy. Occasional live acts and pub quizzes. Service is great, and so is the food.

I had an excellent breakfast here, the best that I've ever tasted. The only very tiny niggle was putting the butter underneath the toast, it had almost melted away. The guy at the bar was great.

Really good breakfast, my daughter loves the pancakes!!

Great little pub. Friendly with good beers and food. Food is excellent, especially chicken goujons - they’re massive!

Website not working, Facebook page shows a menu and cocktails and different opening times, luckily messaged first, no food. Still went for cocktails but felt a little stupid when we asked for the cocktail list, "we don't really do cocktails", although he then said he could do a few so we had a pornstar, nice, but not a proper one, no prosecco shot with it. Lovely place, relaxing but disappointing and missing a trick. Also the idea of websites doesn't seem to have reached Scunthorpe yet!

Nice and quiet place to have a chat and taste the different types of beers which are not available elsewhere so its a thumbs up from us..😎🍺👍

Well decorated for Christmas. A large selection of drinks. Friendly service.

Extremely welcoming staff, great atmosphere , more than reasonable prices and pleasant atmosphere

Just dropped in for a few drinks, lovely little places

Great pub, great service and a really friendly atmosphere 👍

Wasn't serving food but offered some good suggestions. Nice friendly staff so we stayed for a drink before leaving for a meal

Great little pub ! Foods lovley

Great dog friendly bar very small but really nicely done out. Service great. Food upstairs was really nice tapas. Beware the front door opens outwards so it can make you look an idiot pushing to get in 😂

Love this place but don't get to visit often. Great selection of drinks, great service and fair price. Atmosphere is what makes it special.

Didn't have food on this visit but have done previously on the Greek night, really good food. Good beer, bit dearer than other pubs in area but don't mind paying that bit more for great friendly service.

Love this pub great atmosphere beer and events.

Another great theme night. Great choice, tasty as, lovely prompt service. We are becoming regulars. Highly recommended.

Really tasty Greek night special. Looking forward to the next one. Regular theme nights, reasonably priced.

Nice relaxed atmosphere, Saturday afternoon drinking is not usually my thing but if it was I'd prefer to be here. Sorry, didn't try the food

Disappointed. No real ale. 8 handpumps totally devoid of ale.

Excellent, it's a proper pub, nice feel about it. Great staff and the music by Daniel Senior is brilliant, not often you get that combination, especially for the over 30's

Great little bar.. Friendly Atmosphere.. Great Selection Of Drinks.. Friendly Staff ..

We have just visited for the seafood night and honestly, I don’t think either of us have eaten better seafood (food)! It tasted beyond fresh and flavoursome and have paid a lot more in the past at other restaurants and it didn’t even compare. I wish more people had known about this night because they have really missed out on some great food I hope you continue to do these nights because we can’t wait to return! Thank you!

The staff are what makes this place so good. The food is lovely but you will stay for the atmosphere.

Service really great. Thanks to the young ladies who served us. Lovely place. Nice atmosphere but...... Food... awful. Calamari not prepared properly & batter on everything fried was under cooked & greasey. cheese & meat board came with cold pitta bread. Although when we asked we got other but only shop bought sliced.!!! My advice go for a drink but don't eat Sorry

Nice rotation and choice of hand pulled ales (and other beers for anyone else). Just what I like. Nice, local and friendly welcoming atmosphere definitely a must visit. Once you've been here you feel like you've been before and want to return. Very comforting. Great staff.

Fantastic food and excellent friendly service

Great little bar lovely staff 😀

Garlic Bread starter - 1 small piece of stale bread with garlic mayo... The rest was even worse. Staff uninterested, in the start of a recession ideas, food and service will have to increase drastically if you are to stay in business, won't be seeing our business again... Wetherspoons would have offered far better value...

What a fantastic little place with a warm welcome from the locals, we popped in to watch a footy match and was so surprised how polite everyone was. They made room at the bar and even let us both take seats before them and so friendly. Amazing place with great beers on taps and we will use every time we’re in town..

Great little pub, staff are really friendly and helpful. The food, which is tapas only is lovely. Well worth a visit.

I love this place very friendly staff

Fabulous food, delicious rioja and wonderful staff.....this place is a jewel in Scunthorpes crown 😉

Very friendly and an excellent pint.

The Tapas was lovely, the menu was a little baffling , Deciding on quantity ect ,the waiter was very good and guided us throughout , have a little more knowledge for next visit

Exceptional 😘 Lovely warm welcome from Daniel behind the bar. Great range of drinks including cocktails 🍹 We ate upstairs in the restaurant really nice tapas and puddings. Our waitress was the lovely Holly, very friendly and helpful with our choices. I’ll definitely recommend and will be returning soon.

Very nice but some portions a bit on the small side

This was great, nice to see a local pub in good hands again with decent food. I wasn't sure about the fusion element of the menu but was pleasantly surprised. Decent range of beers and it was nicely divided between the pub downstairs and the restaurant upstairs.

Booked in for the tapas with partner, her son & his girlfriend. Friendly greeting from Dan behind the bar. Good selection of drinks available at a good price. Ventured up to the restaurant upstairs, greeted and seated by a friendly waitress. Good selection on the tapas menu to suit all pallets. The food came out well presented, we were all highly satisfied with our meal and the night in general. Will definitely be going back soon. Highly recommended

Cosy place with a friendly atmosphere

Ate here as a group of six, waiter very attentive, wonderful tapas and desserts. Recommend.

We dined at the Honest Lawyer with a group of friends on Saturday evening - our first visit. We had heard good things about this restaurant (which is a part of the Take a Gander restaurant group), so we thought we’d try it for ourselves. We each picked two or three dishes from the extensive menu, and ordered a few more as the evening progressed. We sampled the salt and pepper squid, chorizo, lamb chops, meatballs, meat and cheese sharing board, and garlic prawns, together with potatoes, fries and bread boards. Everything we tried was delicious including the wine, and the desserts (lemon cheesecake and churros with chocolate dip). This is a lovely informal way to dine with friends, sampling a bit of each dish with food being brought to the table at frequent intervals. The wait-staff were very attentive and responsive to our requests - big thanks to them for helping to make our evening great fun!

Two couples, we dined early Saturday evening. The Tapas was exceptional, nicely presented and delivered in a timely fashion. The ambiance was welcoming and the staff equally warm.

First time in for donkeys years, pleasant staff, good ales

Came here last week to try the new tapas menu. Disappointingly underwhelmed as both the food and service had room for improvement. Some dishes were good such as the salt and pepper squid, the free fresh bread, the sausage but others were very average. The service has room for improvement. One of the dishes served was wrong, the dishes came out one or two at a time over a period of time (I accept an odd one may come later but 85-90% should come out together imho) and the white wine was served at room temperature. I recognise its newly opened but it’s basic stuff they can be corrected quickly if only there was someone who was seemingly in charge - a lack of such an individual makes me concerned they will improve as quickly as they need to, to entice repeat visits

We had to check out the new tapas menu and we was not disappointed! Delicious food, great service and very reasonably priced. Very tasty, both left absolutely stuffed … we will be back! Ps …. Meatballs were positioned much more pleasingly than this photo! We’d moved them before taking photos!!!

Called in for food only to discover that they don’t do food but still a nice bar. Even though the football was on, it was still a nice atmosphere where you could comfortably talk.

Cosy bar with a friendly atmosphere

Friendly staff and well kept beers

Great little pub close to the station

A very nice little old type bar. And the lady behind the bar was very nice and friendly. I'll be back. X

Excellent place to go for a beverage, their coffee's are great, biker friendly aswell.

Love it there friendly n good drinks

Nice modern pub. Good selection of beers 👍

Nice pub/restaurant. Only had a drink so not sure about food

Good real ale bar, friendly landlord and COVID-19 secure. Will be visiting again.

Very polite staff, great selection of beers. Dog friendly, but keep them on a leash.

Great service. Quality drinks all for a cheap price. Would definitely recommend

Nice welcome after not being in for 3 years

Miserable barmaid. 🤡 Otherwise OK for drinks. OTT with social distancing, nearly empty, but couldn't sit in a group of eight. Yet the barman approaches the tables with his mask not covering his nostrils🤔🙄

Excellent hospitality as always. Great venue for football too

Great service. Great beer. Best pub in Scunthorpe

Lovely little bar, very friendly staff

Great pub ,quick service good beer and very friendly people there

I guess when you’re the only ones eating, it says it all and you should walk back out! Greasy deep fried food, not the best. Service was ok but not impressed and won’t go back.

Well as it was nice and sunny it was a no brainer to sit outside here for a couple of beers. We had to leave contact details at the bar which had screens to protect bar staff/ customers. Will look forward to our next visit!

Great pub , showing all sporting events . Great music and atmosphere

Two foul mouth people stood at bar,barman did not say a word to them

first time we have eaten here in a long time, food although reheated, which was to be expected as was set menu was not bad at all service however although adequate was not great Dont lift the plate the moment knife and fork put down for example

In general terms it's fine, sometimes better than that during events but on average it's no better/worse than anywhere else

Good beer and friendly atmosphere.

Great bar, nice pint and football

Good atmosphere and good beer what more would you want

Good Beer. Just visited again only to discover that the restaurant closed a couple of months ago. 😟

This public house is clean, friendly slightly expensive - why is it in Scunthorpe? This inn is so much better than the place deserves. This inn is on a par with Highfield House (near the police station) both too good for Scunthorpe

Bar staff awesome and very accommodating. Music a little loud to have a conversation. A really good night out. Thank you to the staff.

a bit expensive for me .. staff pleasant pub clean

Great bar staff, good at knowing what you want next, only had a slight mix up by Cas lemonade vs soda, but apart from that spot on

Great service and wonderful entertainment on a Sunday evening

Called in for a quick drink. Decent bar, with friendly staff. Nice to sit outside on a sunny afternoon. Bit dearer than the Wetherspoons up the road, and perhaps thats why it wasnt very busy, but worth a visit

I was looking forward to visiting as the Honest Lawyer looked to be the only place serving craft beer in Scunthorpe. Most of the hand pumps were covered up when i arrived and I think the choice was limited to Wainwright and a couple of bitters on cask. Not my favourite but I ordered a Wainwright and thankfully I had the foresight to just order a half as it was well past its end of life and tasted like vinegar. Had two sips and left. Maybe ok for food but look elsewhere (outside of Scunthorpe) of you want a decent beer.

As described above. Nothing to shout about. Very disappointed with the limited choice. Always willing to give places like this a chance but don't think we will visit again.

As soon as i walk in i was greeted by a friendly smile and the atmosphere was brilliant, was seated very quickly to say the restaurant was quite busy, all i heard when seated was good comments about the food from other people dining here. I ordered the salmon at it was cooked perfectly! Absolutely amazing, my friends had the fillet steak and lasagna and they were also very pleased, ‘best steak in town’ will most definitely be visiting again. After trying to find a nice place to eat in Scunthorpe i have finally found one. Very rare i leave reviews but i would 100% recommend.

We had salmon, The way they cooked was very good, People are nice

Wrong menu online which was the basis of our booking and new menu is very limited. The three of us then decided to go to a Indian restaurant and we honestly got more for less money. Food prices too high such as £14.95 for a lasagne which was maybe the only thing I would of chosen from their choices, most starters are even £6. I will not be returning at least not to eat.

Honestly the worst “freshly” cooked salmon I’ve ever had. The Salmon was well over done and the rice wasn’t cooked with absolutely no flavour what so ever. The veg was also horrible. I never complain and I have never written a review but this was so bad I had too. £15:95!! Unbelievable!

Very friendly and kind to dogs, lets dogs in plus brings them water.

Amazing food, service was excellent, they really made the evening special.. Thank you

Amazing atmosphere and friendly staff

It’s a good place but something is missing, everything seems a little clinical, especially when you go through the doors to the toilet, it seems like you are in a school or hospital. Decent beer choices and friendly staff however. In general good but lacking in a little bit of character that would make it great

Tried this one Saturday night and the food was great, prices are good and reasonable. Presentation of food was good and it arrived quickly although the place quiet. Would definitely try it again....

Very disappointed yesterday went in their specifically (on my once a season away trip) because I know they do real ale, only to discover they had none on what so ever. 😢

Well, having eaten here years ago it was great to see it re-open so we had to try it. I`m not one for `establishment bashing` wishing to give both good and bad and a balanced view so here goes. Firstly we were delighted to be able to get a table at very short notice (it was not busy anyway but still, it was a good start). Our eldest daughter was taking us out for lunch and it was good to get a table straight away.

Expensive on a pint,but ideal to get away if you want to watch a game.

Visited this place for Sunday dinner with my partner, serendipity aka happy accident. We were passing by and noticed a sign advertising their restaurant, we were on our way to a chain pub for some food but decided against it after we were told by the barman after our enquiry that they serve a homemade fresh Sunday dinner and we are glad we did! The restaurant looked lovely, the barman made us feel welcome and showed us upstairs, the waitress who took our order was very polite and helpful and served us our drinks etc at the table and took our order. I ordered the beef whilst my partner opted for the chicken and I must say was delicious, freshly made as we could tell by appearance and taste. Very good atmosphere and decor, even better service and food! We will be here more often for food and we highly suggest more people to stumble across The Honest Lawyer and decide against the chain pubs of today for a taste of a vintage yet tasteful modern experience. If I was to be asked what the rating out of 10 would be, I'd have to vote for 11!
