The Jolly Fisherman in East Lindsey

Great location. Immaculate inside and food great. Service top class. Not the cheapest in the area but worth paying the little extra for.

Wow - party of 7 for food. The service was slow to say the least - I ordered "The Beefy Blue - a juicy beef burger with smoked streaky bacon,burger cheese & burger sauce" First the plate was red hot and the food on it was cold - and then the burger that came back didn't have a hint of bacon.... got fed up so ate half and left

Foods always decent and staff always friendly, usually have the football on and places to sit outside if it's busy inside. Last couple of tines we've called in at a weekend we couldn't get a table but that's because it's nice and they obviously busy.

Long waiting time, food comes almost cold, dirty tables, tasteless food, very small portions for the price paid. Not worth it, you waste time for nothing.

The food was the worst I have ever eaten ordered chicken tikka the naan bread under cooked no chutney 6 chips my hubby ordered pie and chips came a very small kids portion we ordered a starter and that came out after our main meal the starter should have chicken and beef done meat there was no chicken a 6 very small pieces of beef meat very disappointed we ordered a white wine from the wine list a sauvignon blanc new Zealand 12.5% £22.50 and they gave us a house while wine 10% only one they have and charged us for the more expensive one shocking will never ever go back here again 😠 😡 👿

Dreadful fir food - small portions - bland taste and cold too

Waited nearly a hour for food Food overcooked, had about 10 chips on a plate Young people waiting, had a not interested attitude on them. Not helpful at all

It's a great pub 👍 somewhere to chill and relax. They offer amazing ranges of food and drinks

Staff seemed fed up and quite impolite. Cutlery was very dirty, when we told staff that the glass was dirty, they just poured our drink into another glass.

Just had a meal well ,my meal was Luke warm with a a doughy naan which looked anaemic and not cooked properly, hubby had scampi which awful with cold peas and dried up chips

An absolute place to go. Our accommodation was excellent. We had a disability caravan so anyone one will not be disappointed. Highly recommend.

Gammon should be cooked both sides. Never seen such a small slice of pineapple. Served on paper which had started disintegrating. Will not be returning

What a rip off was charged £28.00 for a burger meal a chip butty and a lemonade which I queried at the bar to which I received a response from the server oh sorry u are owed £3 back which he gave me back in cash however I still queried £25 for what I had ordered, they charged me an extra £1 for the burger meal which I should have received a alcoholic drink with it however what they had done is added the lemonade as part of the burger meal and charged me £4.75 for the vodka n coke so not only had I paid the extra £1 I did not get the alcohol included to which the server said the till automatically works it out what a load of bollocks they knew exactly what they had done and refused to refund me and the food wasn't even that nice avoid at all costs rip off merchants and staff are not helpful at all won't be going back ever again!

Chicken and fish over frying. Portion of chips is very small.

Shockingly bad food. Had the hand battered fish and chips and had to send it back because it was rock hard and over cooked. The next one came out and wasn't much better. Very small portions and we spent over £60 as a family. Only positive the staff were very good. But won't be going back.

Staff are lovely, but the food is overpriced and anaemic. Honestly thought I ordered off the kids menu. “Chips, Smokey bbq sauce, cheddar cheese and spring onions” What appeared was a handful of fries, a drizzle of Aldi bbq sauce and a pinch of cheddar. Nay spring onions. £6.99 for that and a “cheese and bean toastie” It was a warmed up sandwich with a table spoon of beans and a sprinkle of cheese inside. It was awful The music is whiny and awful For the love of god please sort the place out, it’s a shame for such a lovely location. Nice sun spot on terrace though.

What a change from the same old bland pub food. Gotta say all or meals were amazing. Steak cooked to perfection 1010. Fish and chips better than the chip shop. Curry and gammon on point too. On a side note the tartar sauce was really nice not your off the shelf stuff 4 empty plates. Staff where really friendly and helpful two of us having intolerances where more than happy to accommodate. 100% we will be back anytime we are in town.

Had a lovely lunch today I had the fish baguette(the fish much better than the chippy over the road) and my other half the all day breakfast all food was lovely and hot and good value for money going home tomorrow or we would be back the staff were all very friendly would recommend for families too

All good, food was good, sunny day sat outside

Always good food even if it is just chips and a pint. Good atmosphere yesterday when we there. Friendly and helpful staff.

£25 spent for cold food after a 40 minute wait, nobody explained to us there was a wait for food and we saw three other tables get refunded due to delays in the kitchen. Putting Chilli Cheese Bites on top of some dead lettuce? What was that going to accomplish. Soggy chips and cold chicken, genuinely disgusting as our first time was excellent and that was in August when you’d expect it to be slow because it’s peak season!! Maybe the chefs only work well when it’s busy. No apologies from the staff for the long wait, all the staff seemed like they had better places to be apart from one girl who cleared about 5 tables that had been dirty since the moment we sat down. Properly disappointed, won’t be coming back in a rush. Best off going for a chippy next time 😂

The men's toilets,3 traps, 2 without locks, 1 without a door! I wonder if they keep the ladies in the same condition.

Lovely staff and a great service. I forgot to ask for no bbq sauce for my daughter’s kids nachos, went to order new ones but they replaced them for free. The vegan options here are good, the Bombay burger was lovely. Nice to have so many options as we had walked for ages trying to find somewhere that had vegan options! Thank you 😊

A lovely meal, and dessert. Staff very friendly and it wasn't too busy at lunchtime.

Very good service and friendly loved the food and bar staff very friendly

Great pub right, lovely food and a friendly atmosphere. Good selection of drinks. I would definitely recommend you check it out.

Nice pub and nice and warm even asked for air con to be turned off and the staff did 👍👍👍👍

I went in The Jolly Fisherman for a Pint of Bitter. Although it was almost deserted,it was the beginning of December. Its a great place to relax with friends and family.

Amazing food, food was great value and we would highly recommend the small plates. The value is amazing and the food tasted fantastic! The drinks are nice and the staff were friendly. The food was brought out quickly and was amazing. Highly recommend the wings, nachos, prawns, dirty fries. The mains are also lovely and the chicken is very soft and well cooked. We will definitely be back! Thank you!

I run my dart team from here. Can I just say Sam and Lauren were great hosts. It went on a little longer than anticipated and they didn't complain they just got on with it. So 5 stars to the company and both of them. Thank you very much 😊

Bad food, noisy drunk atmosphere, grumpy staff. Go elsewhere.

We dropped in for a cheeky pint and had some food. Very average fare and slightly expensive for what you get.

Food very good but felt short changed. Had the all day breakfast but due to being lactose intolerant, I got no eggs or toast! When questioned the waiter couldn't answer why they had been left off. Would have loved to try a pudding but was concerned I would be short changed on that too!

Excellent food 😋 nice and clean staff friendly.

Not all assistance dogs allowed in according to the sign on door!!

I ordered on the app and the service was very quick! I think it took about 10 minutes to arrive. The quality of the food reflected the price. The only negative was that the table needed a wipe before I arrived.

Great place...good food...atmosphere great.....toilets like wetherspoons- miles away. But good sun trap round outside

Very friendly staff and service

I am I am absolutely disgusted with the service I received. Due to a waiter, ignoring me when I asked for mustard just walked past me and Shook his head no eye contact. When I said pardon, he just carried on walking and shouted NO SIR still without stopping and acknowledging me like any other waiter would. We did wait a long time for our food as well but I must say the food looked good but could not eat it after the Ignorance of the waiter.

Very good service, staff very welcoming and helpful. Food was very good and nothing was too much trouble.

My favourite place for cocktails! Staff are lovely.

Spent Saturday night . DJ played some great tunes from 80’s all way to recent. Door men and security was very helpful. Ladies in bar serving was both friendly and welcoming . Lunch was lovely too

Didn't have food ,but atmosphere was brilliant.

Great place to have a drink and relax

Quiet pub by the clock tower. The food is adequate and reasonably priced. Usually some sport playing on the TV in the background. Child friendly and friendly staff.

Good food/drink great music friendly staff

Was in today with family and 3 of us enjoyed meal but the tikka masala was not nice as chicken was tough and spicy chicken burger was dripping in oil

Not our first bad experiance here, but gave it the benefit of the doubt. Bar staff were good, although busy chatting to others while serving you. Not one for complaining about food, but, Food would of been sent back had anyone bothered to do a table check, and ask if everything was OK. Mixed grill, Steak was ordered medium to well done, but came almost rare. Curry was was barely enough for a child. And the naan bread was awful. Staff clearly avoided clearing our table. Clearly they have a policy of not asking if food is OK for a reason, and do not clear tables until you have left. We were sat for 35 minutes, and no one cleared our plates. Even though people leaving around us, had the tables cleared straight away. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY IN FOOD HERE.

Despite the law, not all assistance dogs are welcome. Discrimination!!

Out for a day trip with a friend and called in for a fish and chip lunch. The food was really good and the service excellent. The restaurant is wheelchair friendly and the waitress was really helpful and very pleasant. We will definitely come back here for lunch when in Skegness for the day up.

Yes beautiful meal well cooked to perfection the chicken burger and salad and cheese bacon with pint of Moretti reasonable price range and a steak cooked well done as asked by girl behind the bar staff were friendly and sky tv was on only down side sorry was peas hard but other than that 10/10 the jolly fisherman reminds me of weatherspoons as toilets upstairs which were clean tidy bub will come back if time allows

Good atmosphere, great service, and well placed along the seafront. I like the round windows that you feel like you're a goldfish in a bowl

Atmosphere and service was brilliant very polite and made sure taken care of. The food was abysmal, misses got a curry tasted prepacked everything like chucked in a microwave. I got a steak chips over cooked, asked for medium rare and was closer to blue, no seasoning on the steak at all and was chewing for a while. Pre bought onion rings and the peppercorn sauce was bland and sloppy, for a drink it would be amazing but for food, highly de recommend as you will be displeased They need a chef who knows how to cook and enjoys his job because there chef is terrible. Hope improves in the future.

We had lovley food service was quick we were all laughing and joking over the quiz on the screen with others in the pub and stayed longer for drinks after our meals

We went for early dinner on Thurs 26th Sept, 6 of us. Lovely atmosphere, the staff were very attentive, especially to my 82 year old mom. Food was hot, and very nice. Didn't have any desserts as we were stuffed from our dinners lol. Would visit again if we are back in the area

Always go here when in skegness it's all round a lovely place to go for food and drinks

I want to thank Emma for keeping my hoody what I lost, she remembered me because I live locally in Skegness and she is great, she is always happy when I go in and happy to help and me personally she went above and beyond to keep my hoody safe for the next time she saw me, she’s a credit to the pub and the business so thank you again Emma

My family and I are on holiday this week and this is our 2nd visit. Thoroughly enjoyed both meals and drinks here. Welcoming atmosphere. Prices reasonable. Food intolerances was looked into which I appreciated. Clean tables.

Happy with the staff emma and Frankie wasn’t happy to see a part of the pub that’s normally shut off to public to b open to a staff members family party

Food and staff were amazing. The food is great value (especially in the week before 4pm) clean and friendly

Great drinking hole Great food 👌.

Great place to party with friends the staff are amazing and the DJ last night was fantastic!!

Came in we my granddaughter and friends,when we went to order our food i asked politely if the previous customers drinks could be removed from the table,i was told there's plenty of other tables to go to,i chose that table cause they were together with there being 5 of us,so she then walked off to clean the table before we had even finished ordering,the attitude of the girl in question was disgusting. My friend then went outside for a cigarette while his partner took the children to the toilet,we went back in to find our drinks had been removed and the remaining food, there was items left at the table so clearly we would be returning,when my friend questioned this he was told i wasn't the one who cleaned the table. The food was ok but the attitude of the staff his appalling.

Staff friendly and drinks good value. Banging tunes and atmosphere on the Friday we went.

Im 15 and I'm meeting my boyfriend Kevin for the first time here Tomorrow 😍💕

So excited to see my favorite YouTube star Kevin's street self defense on Saturday the 7th of September!! Over 100 people are coming now! Can't wait, will be having my favorite meal here if they still have it, the chicken BACON club!!

Just a couple of drinks, no decaf coffee served

The food was very poor, I ordered a cheese melted baguette, which when it came had not seen any grill, my brother had the breakfast, which was half cold, forgot his eggs, brought them out on a plate and poured them onto his plate with the oil as well, then while drinking his tea nearly swallowed a foreign object in his tea, took this object to the staff to complain, a manager of sorts came across said it must of came out of the dishwasher here is your £3 back for your tea. Won't be back

Was served by a lovely girl called Kelsey , was really great—friendly and attentive. She made sure everything went smoothly and checked in to make sure I was happy with my meal. I appreciated her relaxed and helpful approach. Definitely recommend!

Been numerous times in previous years and can safely say the food quality has declined drastically. Myself and my wife both had Steak & Ale Pie with Mash and Seasonsl Veg. The pie was pretty much a supermarket prepackaged quality, the seasonal veg were peas (end of) and had to get extra gravy just to try and moisten the mash which you could pick up in one clump on a fork. Cleanliness and friendliness all good but after many years of visiting we won’t be back.

This Saturday 7th September there will be approximately 50 of us who will be meeting and greeting the famous YouTuber Kevin Turner. Hopefully it will be a good event which we can livestream.

Had a brilliant time hear both for food and drinks with both of them being exceptional. Special mentions go out to Brandon who remembered my drinks order every time without fail which made me feel like a proper valued customer. Just nice friendly staff all round.

Great meal we all enjoyed ourselves

Visited with family end of August place is clean and nice decor. Plenty of room lovely staff , decent menu drinks come with a few of menu items.we had chicken burgers and a curry . Had to ask as mango etc missing but kids and I loved our burgers very nice 👍 curry was great , poppadoms we're a tad plastic but lovely meal and well priced too .

Great food, fish and chips and cheeseburger meals highly recommended 👌

Wasn't particularly busy when we went (Tues 20th Aug) The tables were all dirty . We ordered our food - my husband ordered fish and chips - it got sent back as there was no fish - just a lump of batter !!! ( we were refunded that) I had a cheeseburger and chips - see photo - it was dire !!! Should have gone to McDonald's!!!

First time in this pub. Liked it that much booked to go back today.

Great pub in sea front, food was good and reasonable service

Didn't try the food so can't comment. It didn't look overly clean inside. The staff were lovely and friendly. I wouldn't go again, £12.20 for 2 pints of later

Had gammon, dreadful, thin pieces like shoe leather, wouldn’t go again 😩 smallest portion of chips which weren’t very nice. No one asked if our meals was ok. If they had done I would have sent it back. I only ate one piece of the shoe leather, which I will probably be eating all night long. Don’t know how they had the cheek to send it out!! 🤬

This is the worst pub restaurant I've ever been in came in at 1700 and ordered 2 meats and Kids meals and it's not even busy it's now 1810 Ive been back to the bar twice to be only told it will be with you soon ......still waiting

Was reasonably priced and food was good will go again next time I am in Skegness.

Have to say I big thank you , the wife and I came down for our anniversary. I got really drunk lol , the staff were amazing , anything I asked for was not a problem. It was friday /Saturday night and I’m hard of hearing so had to ask a few times , staff understood this and served me with a smile and great patience. The ladies on the bar were polite and 2nd to none . The bar man remembered our order and was preparing our drinks as soon as I approached the bar , totally professionally. Last but far no way the least were the doormen , held the door for my wife on more then one occasion then helped me with directions to nearest shop when I wanted cigarettes. Top place , top staff , 5stars from us deffo recommended by us ,thank you for making our anniversary weekend one to remember.

Shelby great service on the bar kind and approachable. Amazing service come again.

This is a pub which has lower quality food than weather spoons and worst service ever seen. None of the food was fresh and none of it was caught by a fisherman and half the menu was missing...

Great service from Shelby behind the bar. Was polite and happy. Great job

The food and drinks were lovely. Shelby was very helpful and she even recommended some food for me and my mates I would definitely come back

I was served by Shelby.. she was really good and the drinks and food was really good quality as well.

Food took 45 mins and can honestly say it was terrible,I got fish and chips with about 9 chips and curry sauce that was like a hard jelly,they forgot bread and butter so I asked and they sent out bread that was more like toast,we also order cheese and bean toasties with what was supposed to come with loaded chips ha ha,it's was disgusting and not edible,I wish I could upload pics,avoid at all costs we just couldn't believe it and still can't,

The food wasn't brilliant and the people were so noisy. We couldn't hear ourselves speak.wont be going again.

Quite honestly the worst food I have ever been served any where!! Ordered breakfast bacon was totally raw sausages completely burnt eggs were snotty a teaspoon of beans and what can only be described as yesterdays toast absolutely awful DO NOT GET FOOD HERE .

We all ordered the full breakfast this morning, the bacon was raw and the sausage we burnt, it overall wasn’t good. I wouldn’t recommend going there! 3 of the workers where stood behind the bar talking very loud disturbing the whole environment, we even had to wait 20-30 mins for them to finish there conversations to come and clear the table off.

Visited this morning for the first time with my family. The pub itself was nice and clean and it was easy to find a seat and table and the food waiting time wasn’t bad. After this I’m afraid everything else was bad the price is high compared to most pubs but I was happy to pay this thinking I was getting a nice breakfast. The breakfast arrived it had no more than a teaspoon of beans and mushrooms I’m unsure how they could claim it came with them the sausages were burnt and couldn’t be eaten think of burnt sausages you get off a bbq and that’s what these were they had also been reheated. The bacon was raw no other word for it it wasn’t cooked and not one person on our table was able to eat it! The eggs looked nice until it came to eating them they were still under cooked with raw egg white. The only thing we ate was the toast as we knew that this wouldn’t make us sick. Not once while we were sat there did any staff come and check if our food was ok or if we needed anything else. The staff spent their whole time at the bar chatting and giggling loudly including the chef. By the time we left our table still hadn’t been cleared. My advice to anyone thinking of eating here to do yourself a favour and go down the road to McDonald’s where it’s not only cheaper but a better quality of food.

We called in for something to eat and a pint are 2 . We had scampi chips garden peas was very nice wait was 45 mins but worth it .scampi was plentiful but could have done with more chips

Very poor service ,over priced on bottles and pints, 6.05 for a non alcoholic cider ,totally ripped off

This is a very good pub the food and beer were excellent and the staff were very helpful and friendly all round superb

Really pleasant staff good prices

Just another bar to sit at for a quick brake from the arcades.

We shared 3 x small plates. Good portion sizes and dishes were warmed. Staff lovely and friendly. A bonus that we even got a free pint of Peroni on our MIXR apps.

Came in today and partner got it by a pool ball from a customer to hit it t9o hard the manger came over put ice on her leg and took pictures of the leg she in a lot of pain he advised us to call 111 service get adviced manger took our details and very helpful . Put it would have bin nice if the manger told the guys to go steady put did not.
