The Marina Restaurant in East Lindsey

On previous visits I was told that if I asked, the cook could reduce cooking time on the fish by 30 seconds and had excellent fish. On 28th June I asked for the 30 second shorter cooking time but was served with dry, overcooked revolting fish. Will not eat there again.

I don't think they cook with dripping, but if not, it tasted as good as anywhere that does. Very happy with the price of my meal, I ate in, service was fast and friendly (served by an Elf!!), and staff were very helpful with my request to have one done without batter. Can't fault this place. Thanks - will be back again in a couple of days.

Called here due to the good reviews they were definitely spot on Sat outside eating chips fish peas and beans 2 meals just over £20 very good value for the quality fish cooked to perfection which is rare these days would highly recommend cheers

It was mid afternoon when I visited The Marina and lucky for me, I was the only customer there. Very COVID compliant. Fish & Chips were really good. Lovely friendly staff and gave me advice where my husband and I could go to eat our take away and then get a lovely drink afterwards. It was like having Tourist Information and CHippy combined. Great work guys.

Lovely cod and chips. I live in Skegness but I don’t think much of fish and chip shops there as it’s always hit and miss. I prefer to drive to The Marina. Never had a bad experience there. Food always well cooked and the staff are friendly. All staff had correctly fitted masks and a one way system in place.

Just gorgeous fish and chips here. Lovely light batter, not heavy, and perfect chips. They have a big menu to choose from and very quick service. I only meant to have one fish and chip meal during my holiday but.......couldn't resist ! Definitelythe best of the ones we tried around here.Highly recommend.

Excellent fish and chips. Also good sausage. It's so good to be back in Lincolnshire where people know what you mean when you ask for a bag of scraps!!

Every time we get Fish and Chips we get them from there. Wouldn't try anyone else because no one else can equal the taste.

On holiday last week in Chapel St Leonards and tried Marina Restaurant. Absolutely delicious fish and chips, all freshly cooked properly in beef dripping. Really nice light crispy batter on the fish- unlike the usual fare we are used to at home. Pretty comprehensive menu to choose from too.

Always delicious fish and chips, Always cooked fresh to order, quality is very good. Can definitely recommend.

Recently moved to Chapel . No exaggeration but The Marina is just the best fish & chips I've ever had. Proper fish & chips, Always cooked to perfection & great portion sizes. Staff are all brilliant . Decent opening times too, even during winter.

Best fish and chips in chap lovely staff, tried a battered cream egg, not bad but couldn't eat a full one

First time we have been here even though we live locally, the fish was massive and cooked to perfection, also the chips were fabulous, it was all cooked while you waited, best fish and chips I have eaten in a long time, will definitely be going back. Staff also polite.

After just buying our firat caravan in chapel st leonards this weekend, we popped in for fish and chips. Staff very friendly and helpful. Fish was absolutely beautiful, will definatly be using this place as our local chippy when we're down holidaying.

We stopped off for fish and chips but didn't realise that the chips were cooked in beef dripping. Two of our party were vegetarian so sadly they weren't able to sample the delights of the crispy batter, pure white fish and perfectly cooked chips. Luckily we had passed a shop (New Point Stores) at the other end of the village that sold filled cobs. A great little shop with a very friendly lad serving We took our lunches up to Huttoft car terrace and although it's roughly six miles away, they were still piping hot when we arrived. So while our veggie friends tucked into their cheese and onion cobs, we enjoyed the delights of The Marina Fish & Chips along with our sea view. We will definitely be recommending it to our friends (not the veggie ones of course) and we look forward to calling in again. Very pleasant staff too.

Best Fish and Chips we have had for ages. Just like it used to taste when we were kids. The only thing missing was the Newspaper!

great refit come here a lot over the years but a great fish and chip shop replacing the old cafe fish was excellent and lexi enjoyed her fishcake great work see you again soon

Called at lunchtime with friends to try out new menu as now specialising in fish and chips with extras. Was very busy but staff friendly and efficient. Seemed very organised and nee what they were doing for a new venture. The food was excellent. Quality and taste was brilliant. Would highly recommend this place to anyone. Was spotlessly clean as well. We'll done to the new owners. Hope they keep it up. Definitely try it out. 5 star's.

This place has had a total refit and is now called Marina Fish & Chips. No longer does breakfast but there’s plenty nearby. Anyway lovely young couple run this place now and like the title says it’s amazing. Modern, bright and really pleasant staff too. Hopefully more shops/cafes nearby get a makeover of this quality as well.

I went in when i first moved to chapel st leonards, and i found the staff friendly and helpful, the food is all served nice and hot, the best cafe in chapel st leonards village

We kwamen hier lunchen met het gezin. Het was niet echt wat we er van verwachtten. Alhoewel de bediening correct was, vonden we het eten niet lekker. De frietjes waren extreem vet, de pie was niet lekker, de sandwich niet echt vullend. Voor ons geen aanrader. Mogelijk wel voor een koffie met gebak of ontbijt.

Called in here for breakfast. It was lovely and piping hot. Reasonably priced. Friendly efficient staff.

Great place to stop for some lunch or a drink after a long walk on the beach. Tasty food and great menu.

Sólo parece haber perdido algo de borde es tarde, no estoy seguro por qué, pero era un lugar que utiliza regularmente, pero hemos ido en otro lugar ahora, no estoy diciendo que está mal, pero no tan bueno como en los últimos años

Un poco de hambre y tener dos perros normalmente complejos de bolsa de patatas en un banco. Sin embargo, encontramos este látigo y muy acogedor café en el verde perros en la calle Chapel, Leonard. Señora que nos servía era excelente y nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos. La torta de carne, patatas y guisantes con extra salsa era perfecto y sabía como cocinar. Tenía que seguir con el mejor gloria knickerbocker he tenido desde los años 70. Feliz de ver el lugar tan ocupados con otros dueños de perros y no una mal perro manso, gracias.

My friend and I stopped in to have a coffee and some cake, the staff were friendly and the service was fairly quick. Coffees were great and cake very tasty. Would definitely go again. Lovely atmosphere inside too.

My family and I visited this restaurant for a coffee and a bite to eat. The staff were friendly and helpful. The coffee and hot chocolates were excellent and the cake/toast very tasty. Nice cosy interior and dog friendly too!

We called here with my father for lunch. We've been here many times over the years, as my parents used to own a caravan in Chapel, although I think this might be the first time in 10 years! I had the steak pie, chips, peas...

Good value for the price of carvery.the area for getting your food is not very big so tends to soon get a queue for your food.could do with a upgrade of tables etc but suppose that's the reason for reasonable price food

Visited here for The carvery with my two children , who were looking forward to their meal . The food was absolutely appalling , the only edible thing was the meat ! Broccoli was old and brown , cauliflower was an odd colour the stuffing and potatoes could not even be cut ! They d been in there so long gravy loaded with salt inedible . Tables were sticky and dirty but then no wonder as we left there was a dog sitting on the top of the table next to us , let's hope none of us get ill Don t go there yr better off grabbing a bag of chips and making do

Great service. Excellent food. At very good prices. You can't really ask for more. Everyone ate the lot Good value kids food also. Excellent Breakfast.

I go to the marina atleast once a month . The breakfasts are fantastic and you can modify what you want and the staff are always helpful .

come here every time we visit chapel food lovely and fresh great choice on offer but we did miss frank (RIP) ann keep up the good work will be back

Very reasonably priced menu Quick service clean neat and tidy a useful stop after a walk along the front

Had a lovely Christmas dinner with my friend Sandra on Tuesday this week. Although they were packed with a Christmas party. Meal was lovely we both enjoyed it. Great presentation . Staff were very helpful to find us a seat although we had to return a little later. But extremely polite and they could nt do enough for us . The plate could of been a bit bigger as it was piled up and hard to get around everything on our plates. But excellent value for money .

been coming here for years and always great service and frank is great as well as the food which is fresh and well presented

had a lovely tea and t cake served hot and delivered by a lovely man, the restaurant is clean and welcoming

I have been to the Marina Restaurant 3 times this summer and each time tried something different. The Carvery is one of the cheapest I have tried and half the price of many others with no noticable drop in quality expected of a family restaurant in a seaside town. Serving many people it is advisable to get there early for a lunchtime sitting. A nice touch is the very quiet upstairs plus a balcony and downstairs outside eating area as well as inside. Plenty of room and lots of choices for busy families. The staff really make this a joy to go to for lunch, they are forever busy seeing to lunch and customers requests, so far I have not tried it in the evening so cannot comment about the suitability for families with younger children. I went with my wife and was relaxed and well looked after each time. Reasonable freshly cooked food at reasonable prices.

Went to Chapel St Leonards. Needed somewhere to go for dinner with kids. I had a fantastic freshly cooked breakfast. Kids had kids meals with icecream and drink. Food was excellent. Not a bit was left by anyone. The service was nothing short of outstanding. Friendly and efficient. Spot on with the kids who were made to feel at home as we were. Don't remember receiving better service anywhere. How seaside restaurants should be. We were all very impressed. Well Done!

this is a great seaside café you get good sevice and good hot coffee,frank is a old fashioned gent and nothing is to much food plentiful and hot will return.

Daughter needed breakfast/lunch and this hit the spot - bacon, egg and chips! Hubbie had a tuna baked potato and me just a latte (but it was a skinny and it was good!). About £15 all in.

proper capuchinno, but a bit dear, very clean establishment, didn`t have a meal, but the food looked ok

Feels like a bad cafe pub from 1991 - the fact they only take cash really does feel like a time warp. No sign outside that says cash only either.

I've lived in chapel all of my life came in here many times usually always nice food, but on this occasion I went in with my partner and ordered my drink a lemonade with ice and when they brought it out it was crumbs and sprinkles in it, my partner sent it back and the owner was in the back saying doesn't she no it's only sugar! Which it isn't I'm allergic to it as I have coeliac! So I was left sat there uncomfortable, 2nd time I asked for a normal coke and they bought diet I was 8 months pregnant at this time and felt like they we're just being horrible as they charged me for the extra coke when I asked them to change it because it was wrong! Then I said can I have chips and bacon she said I don't do chips till 11 o'clock, it was 10 to!! So I said I'd wait and she went in a huff!! One member of staff though Michelle is lovely and welcoming! Too bad the rest aren't!

Always enjoy visiting the marina, they do nice food, the cafe is kept too a very good standard very clean and the service is always good

This is one of those cafe's where you feel at home as soon as you walk through the door, very friendly staff and local customers made us feel very welcome. Frank the owner is a very nice man who could not do enough to help and some advice we received from a couple who work on the caravan site we stayed on was invaluable. We will come back again, thank you all.

Well I was full of high hopes looking at the menu outside and really fancying a roast dinner I went in.I sat down and was immediatly snarled at by a young member of staff which I did not appreciate. About 15 mins later I was eventualy served by a nice young man and told that as I wanted to eat I had to move as these chairs were for coffee only. So I moved from a nice comfortable seat to a less than comfortable one where I waited ages for my food to arrive.Well the food was ok I suppose. The meat was nice bar the one part that was very overcooked. The veg was to die for however I have never seen so much veg on a plate in a cafe in my life. Riddiculous how little meat and yorkshire pudding you got in comparison to the amount of veg that was piled high and a tiny portion of gravy.Pudding was better although there was no where near enough custard.I was really disappointed particularly, bar the young man, by the attitude of the staff who seemed to think of me as an inconvience as opposed to a paying customer!
