The Notts Restaurant in North East Lincolnshire

Went for an evening meal with a group of friends.. pre warned the chef that I was Vegan as nothing Vegan on the menu. I was offered 4 different vegan options when I arrived, but disappointed that it seemed to be all bought in processed vegan food, burgers, sausages, chicken. Home made Vegan meals are easy to prepare and cook, particularly this time of year when seasonal vegetables are cheap and in abundance. I’ve visited this restaurant many time over the years and always enjoyed the home cooked food and cosy atmosphere. Sadly I didn’t have the same experience this time. We all commented that the restaurant was cold, we weren’t offered desserts and was informed they wanted to close at 9.15pm. The rest of my party said their meals were “ok, nothing special, felt like cafe food”. So sadly we won’t be returning.

We all had the lasagne, great portion of a lovely home cooked meal! Also met the chef who as lovely! Will definitely again 🙂

Service was excellent, all staff were friendly, cheerful and nothing was too much trouble. The food was fab and delicious. Thoroughly recommend. Excellent evening had by all 6 of us.

Popped in here for a couple of pints, starting with the Wainright which was excellent. It's a nice old traditional style pub with a nice atmosphere and good service.

Went into Nottingham pub Saturday evening 12 th June with a Group of friends, We ordered our drinks me and one colleague had Timothy Taylors bitter I took one sip and looked at my colleague he said the same as me it was absolutely awful, Two other colleagues who ordered different beers said there’s where awful as well,on leaving I explained to the two bar staff my concerns, I got no response whatsoever, The Notts has been a great pub in the past but at the moment I will not go back Pete Rodger Grimsby

Booked a table for 20 of us weeks ago for a hen party, once seated waitress told us all that was left on the menu was beef burger lasagne and meat pie! Absolutely ruined our night so the vegetarians and coeliac amongst us had nothing or a baked potato with a pathetic salad! I will never go there again!

I have been going to the Notts for years and years, but moved away on 1978 and only returned to the Cleethorpes area in December 2020. In the old days it was purely a pub, but when I moved back it was fantastic to discover that it has a great restaurant run by Kim who is also the chef. There is a very wide range of food that can be served in the lounge and the bar, and I have sampled many of the items - for a late lunch today I had a beautifully cooked jacket potato with garlic mushrooms as the topping - delicious. But last Sunday I booked a table in the upstairs restaurant and I had a wonderful roast pork Sunday lunch. The pork was beautifully cooked and melted in the mouth, the roast potatoes were crisp but soft inside, the veggies were al dente as I like them and the gravy was flavoursome. I didn’t have any room left for dessert or cheese, but managed a nice glass of port to finish off. Certainly one of the best roast lunches I have ever eaten. Many thanks Kim and team 👏👍.

Went Sunday for a roast. Was sat 30 minutes waiting for a waitress. Not even a drink offered. When she did finally turn up. She said we don’t have any food left hardly WOW so we had been seated 30 minutes to be told they have no food she then went away and came back and said it should be ok. The food was terrible heron Yorkshire puddings and food was not up to scratch. Restaurant has pipes and electric cables pinned to the skirtings was not pleasant. We have ate many times here in the past. What has happened I do not know. But it was absolutely terrible service and food. After this spoke to a number of people in the area and have all said it has gone down hill. You have been WARNED

We had a lovely meal, all the staff were friendly and efficient. The food was very fresh, especially the meat. We will definitely be back 😁

I used to live in Cleethorpes until I moved to London for work in 1978, and I worked in London and then moved abroad in 1990 and lived and worked in 14 different countries before moving back to Lincolnshire in December 2019 when I retired. The Notts as it is known is everything you want in a pub - great, friendly staff, the beer is excellent - Timmy Taylor’s Landlord is my particular favourite, but the Tetley’s, Thwaites Wainwright, and Oakham Citra are also excellent bitters - all beautifully kept and thoroughly enjoyable. There are a couple of lagers, draft Guinness and a really interesting Porter (Titanic Plum Porter). The food is really good - 5 starters, 6 main courses, various sandwiches & jacket potatoes, 5 desserts and a specials board. As far as I’m concerned it is the perfect pub and I go virtually every day 😊👍

Real pub exactly what it says on the tin ,good selection of real ales, beers and drinks, friendly bar staff cheers 🍺

We rang on Sunday afternoon and they had a table. We had Sunday lunch and desert and a bottle of house red, it was very reasonable and quality food and service! Lovely view also !

Booking in advance is highly recommended as this little gem is brilliant Sea view Great food Fantastic service A great place for an evening out for just a couple or with entertaining with friends

Nin n grandad are private people and do not like a fuss so the small room at the Notts was perfect for the ten of us x All they asked for to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary was a meal with their four children and their partners 💕 The service was impeccable and the food was fantastic! Highly recommend to everyone if you like homemade food 10/10 Best cheesecake ever 👊🏻

We stayed at the Notts hotel. We were booked in efficiently, by a warm and welcoming member of the bar staff. We had a very spacious room, with sea views.The bed was huge and so comfortable.The shower needed more water power, but was acceptable.We were on the third floor room 2.The stairs are a bit of a hike but not a problem.The room was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. We had a cooked breakfast, which was extra,continental breakfast was included.The breakfast was perfectly cooked and delicious.The chef was attentive, but non intrusive. I would definitely stay here again and intend to have dinner in the restaurant next time.

Came with a group of friends. Have been a few times for meals but On this occasion After having our mains was presented with the bill. Didn’t even get asked for the desert menu or a cofee. Was told the kitchen was closing and if wanted a cofee would have to have it downstairs in the bar !! We were only in the restaurant 1hr 15 mins felt like we were being rushed out ! not one to complain but we were all disappointed.

A proper old fashion pub. Good ale and good food. Friendly staff. Well worth a visit. Will be back.. 👍

I recently visited the notts restaurant with my partner, this is the second time I’ve been here in the last month and it was lovely, we both had the steak and ale pie, I can honestly say it was one of the best pies I’ve had, the service was efficient and the staff where lovely, il definitely be going back.

Basically five stars, but take off 0.2 stars for the smoked mackerel pate being a little over-salted, and 0.4 stars for the mango and passionfruit icecream tasting very little of mango and not at all of passionfruit. But everything else was delicious and the waitress was pleasant and helpful. One minor thing: what is this current craze for providing the narrowest possible loo roll? Seriously, people, be a bit more generous! In several places lately the loo roll's been under 3" wide, which just seems cheap.

We ate in the pub snug which is not part of the restaurant. Bizarrely it seems the two are the same but different. The menu in the pub is small standard pub fayre - no starters no deserts and absolutely nothing like the menu online sadly. That said what we did eat was okay, the fish and chips were good. No capacity to run a tab and food paid for up front.Service was swift and efficient. The snug itself is okay but the walk through the bar to get to it leaves a little to be desired!

Came here for Sunday lunch. The food very average. Minimal vegetarian options. Sunday roast disappointing. Staff were very friendly.

This is the best fish and chip reqtirqnt in Cleethorpes. The fish was cooked perfectly and I know as my father was a fish salesman. So many restaurants over cook fish! The batter was crunchy and the chips perfectly executed. Light and crunchy. Mushy peas not over processed. Service was with a smile. Wonderful views of the pier and beach. You won’t be disappointed.

Stayed for one night in the £100 room with my girlfriend,room was spacious and clean,bed was comfortable and the view across the beach and pier was brilliant. We had an evening meal which was delicious especially the homemade selection box cheesecake. Notts is close to lots of other places too if you want to explore other pubs and bars.Full English in the morning was hot,plentiful and just as delicious as the evening meal. Top mark's to Andy the chef and Bella who served our table. A well organised family run business that's worth a stay if your in the area.

From the very friendly accommodating staff to the prompt service, this venue provided my wife and I with a superb meal. My wife had the curry and was very impressed and I had probably the best fish and chips with mushy peas I have ever had.

I have just taken my mum for lunch for the first time and certainly won't be the last....food and service and price wasfantastic . Can't wait to go back and try more

I recently had a 'big' birthday and attempted to book at another restaurant in Cleethorpes who were unhelpful so a friend strongly recommended The Notts, I'm so pleased she did as it was a great venue on so many levels and, I believe, far better than anywhere else I might have gone. First of all the owner Andy was so helpful, we went to see him to discuss the room and what would be available, he was always available for quick answers to queries by text or email, and unbeknown to me my daughter had several conversations with him as well where certain extras and bringing a cake and so on were discussed, she too said he couldn't have been more helpful. We had a private room for the 16 of us which was great with fantastic views over the water and a lovely ambience. The food, which was ordered in advance was absolutely delicious, we began with very tasty complimentary hor d'oevres and the remainder of the choices were beautifully cooked and presented. My lamb shank fell of the bone and was gorgeous and the desserts were scrumptious, I didn't have a starter but those who did raved about them. One lady (in her 70s) who had the fish and chips said they were the best she's ever tasted in her life, that is some compliment in this area of Cleethorpes/Grimsby! The staff were faultless, unobtrusively efficient, pleasant and helpful, from start to finish everything was totally professional. All 16 said they'd go back and also recommend to others. In fact I've already suggested it to a friend for her small wedding party. From my first contact to the end of a wonderful evening everything was superb!

My son in law booked for my daughters birthday, a table for eight upstairs. It was the first time I've been in the Notts as it's locally known and I was quite impressed. The staff are very friendly and the ambience is ok. The menu was compact but varied and we all enjoyed our experience. We will definitely return.

We stopped off at the ‘Notts’ for lunch a week ago for two good reasons firstly because it was recommended by word of mouth and secondly it is a dog friendly pub. The food was traditional, superbly cooked and well presented. Another great find in Cleethorpes and well worth a visit

I had a chicken and chorizo lasagne pre ordered because we were a group of 7. No others in the restaurant Mine had been in a microwave far too long! I have never eaten crunchy burnt lasagne before! I told the waitress and she said Sorry! End of story! others had lovely meals. Waitress was young and not trained.I have eaten here before and this isn't the standard I expect! I had recommended this to the group! I will contact the restaurant tomorrow and update this!

Great old fashioned pub ! Dog friendly in left bar too ! - staff give the dogs a treat from behind bar and water out for them too. Lovely friendly atmosphere.

We met up with Cleethorpes friends and as there was 10 in our group we were booked into the small upstairs room which meant there was just us there round a big table. This was great for chatting and catching up. We had one main waitress who was lovely, and she was helped by another when it came to getting the orders out.

We have dined here a few times now and each time we have been the food is not hot enough. If the plates were hot when served it would keep it hotter for longer but for it to arrive ‘warm’ and then go cold is not good at all.

Hi there " went to the Notts pub and restaurant up stairs " in cleethopes. What a great old fashioned pub " . Meet some lovely local people there " all way meet our friends there . Good range of beers and ciders there " great gin and tonic offers . Good bargain. Brilliant atmosphere there . All way a great night out " pop up stairs for a lamb shank " meal with our friends. Our friends had a steak meal with all the extras . It looks amazing " l got my lamb shank meal " with mash potatoes. Well " l was so disappointed the lamb shank " was cooked just right but " hardly any mash potatoes. When l asked for some more mash " got told there's none available " was really shocked and disappointed " maybe l should had the steak meal just really fancy mash potatoes and gravy " and lamb was a bonus " . Think it was a bit of a let down " all the staff were really nice and lovely " made you felt welcome " hope this review is helpful to you. Trevor Northampton England.

Our office went for a Christmas meal at The Notts on 5th December. The starters were slow but lovely. After a lengthy wait, the mains arrived, all 12 Christmas Turkey dinners were stone cold. They were taken away and zapped in the microwave and returned without even an apology. I did email them with our concerns but they chose not to reply. The chef was apparently told on the night that we weren't too happy, if he had just had the courtesy to come and see us, or reply to our email, we would not have posted a review on here. Bad customer services. We will not return.

We hadn't realised there was rooms upstairs, we sat in the window overlooking the seafront was a excellent view. The meal and staff could not be faulted, it was a lovely relaxing afternoon.

This is, as the title of the review states probably the last traditional pub in the whole of Cleethorpes and Grimsby area. The food is superb and in my opinion the best Fish & Chips are to be had there. To make a visit even more worthwhile there is a fine selection of hand-pulled beers always available. You've tried the rest, now try the best.

We visited the Notts with high expectations following great experiences from

When we arrived we wasn’t greeted by anyone. We ordered some drinks, bar staff seemed grumpy and not very welcoming. The Food was really nice and definitely worth the money. The service wasn’t too bad, however it would of been nice to of been greeted by a standard hello when we arrived and a goodbye as we left.

After reading many positive reviews for the Notts restaurant, we decided to try and get a table without pre booking. We were in luck as they were able to reserve a 5.30pm table for 4.

I stayed here for just one night, it is a pub downstairs but upstairs is great, I was taken back by how clean and well set out it was, great little place, rooms are spotless and well decorated, the chef came in early just to make me eggs for breakfast as I was leaving early, I will definitely be staying here again if I have work in grimsby

The Notts is a beautiful old fashioned pub that hasn't been modernised for the last 25 years.

Food is lovely great prices service is excellent clean and tidy very homely good selection and choice

The breakfast is super value and very nice not had a dinner yet but going back soon and will write another review

Called in for a drink one Sunday evening, the beer was good. Unfortunately the pub smells of dogs and the overall appearance is that it needs a good, deep clean!!

Myself, partner and his family have only just arrived here in Cleethorpes and are staying here for the next two nights. We decided to have lunch from the Pub Grub menu after a long car journey. I personally had the scampi with chips and garden peas and my partner had the steak and ale pie and chips. Very filling and just what we needed. The chips especially as Home made. Definitely recommend!

My wife and i go regularly to the Notts for tea usually having the fish and chips.Service is very good staff very friendly, Plenty of choice on real ales to accompany. I also feel the Notts is the best fish and chips in the town. There is a reasonable choice on the menu which is proper pub food

Special family weekend meal on the 3rd August and 13 of us ate in the upstairs function room. The food was excellent as was the service by Phoebe and Bella and co. Also the beer was lovely jubbly.

Stay in room 1 last weekend with my wife and all I can say what a view and the room was excellent. new shower, all the room had been updated to a very high spec . If you want the sea view ask for room 1 or 2 just fabulous overlooking the prier . The staff and owner where so friendly nothing to much trouble, This place is real find right on sea view street with all the restaurant and gin bars to hand Thanks for a great stay will come back

So my friend has been saying for long enough now ‘i will have to take you for a meal at the Notts, its amazing’ to night was my lucky night..... starter, melting brie with a light and crispy batter. omg! Amazing!!! Mains, hand battered haddock, chips and the BEST mushy peas EVER!!!!! So two courses down and my friend said: now for the pudding... and you carnt say no! Strawberry torte with propper fresh cream.... OMFG!!! That was an amazing 3 course meal and very highly recomened!!!! You can tell the chef knows what they are doing also the very high standard of ingredients used onlong with the freshness of the organic strawberries used on the desert.... Very highly recomened The Notts for food!!! Its recomened to book tho!!

Booked in last minute for an evening meal and we were anticipating very nice food after reading the tripadvisor reviews.

We often visit this pub when we walk into Cleethorpes for a couple of reasons, the guest ales for my hubby to try and the fact that our dog is also welcome!

i booked the notts restaurant for my wife's 60th birthday celebration. we booked for 19 people and that was about the right amount for the room. Andy took my booking and was accommodating and friendly. the menu choice was ideal for a dinner party and offered dietary alternatives. he was always on hand to answer any questions regarding the evening and allowed us to trim the room to our requirements. the welcome from the girls on the night was friendly and professional and the service through out the evening was just as good. i actually cant fault the staff the food or the room in any way. it was a perfect evening for a great celebration. all of my wifes guests went away with a smile and commented the day after what a lovely group of staff you have their. thankyou. for facilitating a wonderful evening

After looking at their website, being impressed by the menu on there and practically choosing our meal, we booked a table. Upon arriving we were seated and then presented with an A4 piece of paper. The menu items on there bore no resemblance to what we had seen online, and when I mentioned this to our server she replied “Oh don’t look at that - it’s way out of date”. The menu we were shown would have been ok if you like cheese, cream or fish - it really was that limited. Needless to say we finished our drinks (£9 for a cider and a G&T; - what is it with Cleethorpes prices just lately) and went to eat somewhere else.

FANTASTIC ! family get together meal for 16 and we couldn't ask for a better place for it , food was great , the service was fantastic , such friendly waitress's , we booked the table for 1.30 pm and we had our own room overlooking the sea front . We had the room all afternoon no rushing us out like in some of the big restaurants , thankyou the notts staff we will definitely be returning .

This is an amazing little restaurant tucked away upstairs above one of the best pubs in Cleethorpes 😊 Lovely owners, welcoming , friendly staff and above all fantastic food. Most highly recommend this place

We the Notts Restaurant for the first time at the weekend with some friends to celebrate my wifes birthday and when we arrived at the top of the stairs on the first floor of the restaurant we were greeted by a smiling waitress who offered...

We went on Valentine's Day for lunch. Although we had the room to ourselves the service was good and we had the best fish and chips we,ve eaten for a long time and we are local residents. Forget the new Papas on the pier and...

First time visit. Not disappointed. Timothy Taylor Beer. Great Drink. Fish and Chips to die for. Beautifully Freshly cooked Fresh Haddock. Good portion and reasonable value for money. Will re visit when next in area. Staff were polite and friendly. My Jumbo Haddock was plentiful...

Lovely homely little pub with friendly service and nice staff. We loved the 'Snug' and were pleased with the quality of the food .

Had a wonderful evening in the back room with friends. The atmosphere is so relaxed and comfortable. The food was superb. After debating what to have from the Great choice We ordered Chicken Leek and Ham pies with mash / chips and Mushy peas. The...

Had the 2 course deal @ £12:50 which was fantastic value. From the 6 choices I had the prawn & crayfish cocktail which was full of tasty seafood, fresh and plentiful. My wife had an amazing home made soup which came with its own little bread loaf. Again from many choices I had the beef and my wife had the pork and it was amazing. Everything was very well cooked and fresh. The service was also great with all girls very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Deffo return again and again

Visited on Saturday afternoon for a spot of lunch. Food was absolutely amazing! Cooked perfectly and presented well, didn’t have to wait long either. Chips are homemade and to die for. My partner had the fish and it was huge, my burger was delicious!

Decided to take the wife to the Notts for lunch. We both had the Cajun chicken breast burger with halloumi and homemade chips. The Cajun chicken was very tasty and juicy, homemade chips was great! You also got an onion ring and some side salad, but I'm a bit of a salad dodger so never touched that although it did look nice. Service was great! the young girl was very attentive. Would definitely return and highly recommend! 5 stars from myself and the wife.

Having lived in Grimsby for 22 years we decided it was high time we had a meal here when suggested by our friends and I have to say that a) I’m not sure why we waited this long and b) I will definitely be going there again! The Seafood Sharing Platter was an absolute joy as a starter, the haddock special was a delicious main and the lemon posset couldn’t have been a better finale. Service was excellent and friendly, thank you Alan and your team

Lovely fish and chips, which won praise from our very picky mam. Batter was light and crispy, and the chips were chunky and cooked perfectly. My halloumi salad was also very good, and the waitresses were attentive and personable. Underneath the tables required a bit of a brush, but the food made up for that small detail. The Notts has been there forever, and looks like a proper old pub, rather worn around the edges, but don’t let that put you off. It’s well worth a visit.

Took some friends for lunch , The guys had Steak Pie which they raved about , I had a gorgeous crab salad,,so much on the plate I thoroughly enjoyed it,

Love going here for a meal, the food and the service is excellent, choice of food, is very good and reasonable prices.

Earlier that day we were talking to a cafe owner about where to eat that evening. She wasn't overly enthusiastic about a couple of places we were considering so we asked where she would recommend and without hesitation she said 'The Notts'. On the strength of that we booked a table and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The napkins were cloth, the flowers were real, the staff were very pleasant and the food was delicious. Okay, the broccoli stems were a bit hard but the florets were fine and everything else was excellent. Same time next year, if we're back in Cleethorpes!

One of the best pubs in the area. Dogs welcome, nice atmosphere, staff actually chat with you. Lots of choice of beers and spirits. Go in alone: make new friends

Having avoided most of the sea front bars as they were packed and noisy we ventured into The Notts, my cousin be a local! It was a great little pub, very welcoming. They did a range of draught ales, I had the Wainwright which was excellent. We didn't eat here as going to the Agrah next door!

Visited for lunch a few times and the food and service is always amazing! I would recommend the cajun chicken burger :)

you cannot fault this small restaurant which is big on Quality and Service . I have been a few times and really enjoyed being there . Staff are friendly , food is excellant and fairly priced

I have tried other places around the North East Lincolnshire, and most of North Norfolk when down that way, however it was really great to find this restaurant in Cleethorpes, local to me, on a recommendation. The food was really good, the service again, good, and the serving staff, very friendly. I had a great time on my own enjoying the meal, sweet and coffee.. so thank you to all at the Notts.

2 couples dined on excellent prepared and served Sunday lunch. The preparation of the food was very good the beef tasty and vegetables cooked to perfection. The 2 young ladies serving with a smile could not do enough to please. If you enjoy a pint then you are in for a treat the best selection of Real Ale in the area.If you fancy a good choice on the menu all meals at competitive prices make that call and reserve your table

We had an ok meal here. Puddings weren't very nice though. We were expecting more as we'd been recommended to go here.

We ate at the Notts for lunch for my daughter's birthday in April. The weather was terrible so the restaurant was empty. Never the less the food was excellent. We all had fish, chips and peas. The fish was the best we had eaten, and the chips were home made. The only downside was that it was very cold in the restaurant so we all kept our coats on.

Visited with friends today for a late lunch, the food was absolutely delicious, the deserts amazing and the girls serving could not be more welcoming and professional if they tried.Thank you x

Regular rustic local pub downstairs but go upstairs and its a lovely little restaurant. Clean and modern with great sea views. The food is superb! We have been quite a few times over the last 3 months and its great every time. Great service and atmosphere and definitely recommended.

Had lunch here today and two of us had fish and chips, and one had the pie, all of which were about £10 each. We had a great seat in the window looking out to sea, which was lovely. The tables are clothed and the restaurant is nicely decorated. The fish and homemade chips were some of the best I've had, and the homemade pie was full of big chunks of steak, all of which were quite big portions. The staff were super friendly and very efficient. I will definitely be returning. The restaurant part is upstairs, not in the pub, if you go. Well worth a visit.

Earlier this year I tried to arrange a meal here for a group of friends. I e-mailed and it was confirmed that it was possible to order from either the pub grub, lunch or evening menus​. However we did not go there as they did not have a suitable time slot for us.I received some vouchers for here as a birthday gift so we decided to give it a try.The menus on line were still the same so was disappointed to be handed one very limited menu. I asked if another menu was available or if the steak on the online menu was available and was told we could only order from the one given.We had the seafood sharing platter to start which was quite nice. My husband ordered his choice and the only thing left that I liked was fish and chips. Not great as I had this the previous evening.Both meals were ok.When we mentioned the website the waitress said it was not updated by them but someone else so they could not do anything about it and pointed out that it does state 'subject to change'. Change being an understatement as the website​ has been the same since at least February so not really a good enough excuse as customers should be confident that it is reasonably accurate. If you go be aware that the website is months out if date and they have a very limited choice on the night.Would be unlikely to return

great fish and chips and a little bottle of prosseco at a decent price, never booked a table, the staff was very nice and they squeezed us in. we'll be back!

We stopped here for a drink whilst out walking the dog. Our four legged friend was allowed in the bar area, and as we entered we counted six other dogs, so felt very at home! The beer was good, service efficient, and the staff and customers alike were friendly. In fact our dog was even given a treat by somebody, which was as great. I've been in before with my dog and have always been made to feel welcome.

Myself and my husband had 'date night' at this restaurant on Saturday evening, we were welcomed by a delightful young waitress who presented us with the specials board for the night before showing us to our table (nice touch)! The presentation of the room and table were simple and aesthetically pleasing with chilled music playing in the background. We had ordered our drinks and food, starting with tempura king prawns which were beautifully cooked to perfection, my husband loved these! For mains I ordered the ribeye steak with all the trimmings, this was the best steak I had ever tasted, thoroughly enjoyed and not a crumb was left! My husband had the minted lamb shank, the meat just fell off the bone and melted in his mouth (his own words), for desert we both had the homemade crunchie cheesecake with ice cream which finished our nice off nicely! All in all we had a lovely meal and a very pleasing evening, compliments to the chef and all the staff! We will definitely be visiting again! Mr and Mrs Adekola

If you eat old fashioned, boring, English meat meals and can stand the stench of a filthy back street boozer and deep fat fryer, don't mind the smell of wet dog just out of the Humber, or the rancid odour of overcooked fish and chips this is the place for you.

Delightful staff welcomed us for our visit yesterday. Introduced to a board on arrival with specials before being taken to our table. Attentive staff were very patient as we dithered over what drinks and food to have as we were chatting. Extensive wine list. Whilst we we're enjoying our New Zealand Savi Blanc and had ordered our food we were brought a complimentary share starter of warm (yummy) bread with dipping oil/balsamic, onions, gherkins, cheese and chorizo. A lovely touch. All food is home cooked. Hubby opted for Cajun chicken and I had beef stroganoff. I really couldn't decide and a neighbouring table had ordered the fish and chips which was huge and looked gorgeous. We could over hear that it was amazing with crispy batter. I wondered if I had made the right decision but I had mine was lovely and the portions were very large. Husband also said his was excellent. We had a white chocolate cheesecake to share to finish and that was amazing. Hubby said it was the best he has had in 20 years! Just as a note we didn't order starters as we were finishing our night in a nearby cocktail bar and didn't want to over do it but they looked good and would like to try in the future. All in all a wonderful experience. I have to say that the establishments in this town with young staff need to take note of the way the Notts train their staff. They really were the most delightful young ladies. Top marks The Notts we will be returning.

Man size fish...infact shark size fish caught locally. Chips great. Pub is lovely and can take your dog in. Do it

Had my mum and dads diamond wedding celebration here, the room is lovely and the staff so pleasant and helpful. The food was served quickly and everything was really lovely thank you to Andy the chef and his lovely staff.☺

called in fore lunch fish chips peas nicely fried fish and chips very tasty fish chip nice and crispy over haul very good nice view on to the sea front good service

We've been meaning to try The Notts restaurant for some while now, having been told by numerous local people how good the food is, so on our last trip to Cleethorpes decided to give it a try. You wouldn't assume this to be the first place to go for fish and chips as there are more specialist restaurants but believe me, they were the best fish and chips I've tasted in a long while! The batter was crisp but dry (not oozing grease like some establishments), the chips equally delicious. We ate in the dining room upstairs (lovely views) but you can also eat downstairs in the Snug I believe. Staff were chatty and friendly. Not normally pudding people, we couldn't resist the lime and ginger dessert and the lemon sponge - both equally delicious.For certain we will return when next in Cleethorpes. Thank you.

Everything about this place is just lovely, the staff, service, food & price. I had Creamy mushrooms to start then steak and stilton pie from the special's board. It's the best pie I've ever had. The meat was melt in your mouth and they didn't scrimp on the stilton either. My friend had fish and chips along with everyone else that night and she mentioned how tasty it was, the batter looked light and crispy. this place is well worth a try.

Party of 18. Food and service excellent. Attention to detail outstanding. Would highly recommend! Really good ales on tap. A hidden gem.

Been here twice before and deja vu (in a good way)We take our Dog there so we can eat and have a nice drink. We use the Bar which is a traditional dark wood room perfect for Dog friendly but those without Dogs can go in a plush adjacent Lounge RoomThe Staff are always welcoming and have every time brought out treats for our dog and in fact every one that may come in later. There are also large water bowls for the Hounds as well so they are made really welcomeThat would be fine but the humans also need good food and drink and that is exactly what you get here - and on my last visit there were 7 real ales available and I chose one and it was superb - so of course I had a second. I saw on the way out The Nottingham was CAMRA Pub of the Year for Grimsby / Clee in 2015 and 2015 and I was not surpriisedThe Food is also of very good quality and those with no Dog can use the very nice looking Restaurant ( see those reviews as I am reviewing the Bar only). The choice in the Bar was extensive and in fact you can order from the Restaurant and it is brought to you. Wife and I had different meals and I had the Haddock as it was widely reviewed as being "great" and I was not disappointed. Lovely meal - and my Wife was delighted with her pick tooAll in all whether you have a pooch or not I say go for the beer and the food - and if you are lucky enough to have a dog - exactly the same !

Brilliant staff, they all make everyone feel really welcom..The beer is excellent..Even if you like tetleys cask!@ to 70s for me..but hey.

very good home cooked food, service was first class, bar food available, and one of the best pints in town.

We went to the notts for lunch with two friends and I must say the experience was fantastic the food was first class as was the service I personally could recommend the haddock and chips it was the best I have ever eaten in cleethorpes my wife and friends went for traditional Sunday roast and it looked very well presented and there was plenty . I would also recommend the prawn and crayfish cocktail for starter as well it was pure taste of the sea excellent . Will deffo be going back .

Myself and four friends booked a table a this restaurant. All five of us were pleased with our meals. Three had the duck and two the fish,all meals were delivered without a long wait and the service was excellent.The menu isn't huge,but the food quality was very good.Everyone had dessert and all were very good.

All four of us had fish chips and mushy peas - ladies grilled, gents battered (fish). Portions adequate for ladies but mens could have been a little more. Plenty of choice with the beef and red wine lasagne sold out at 6 o clock. We all enjoyed our meal and selection of real ales.

Came to have the full English on the recommendation of a friend.glad we did so as it was a really good meal

Had lunch in upstairs restaurant. Lovely view out to spurn point from a table in the window. Not a large menu but some good dishes to chose from. Reasonable prices. Young staff who were polite and friendly. Service was very slow and they were not busy.think problem must be in the kitchen as opposed to the waiting staff ??? Good lunch anyway. Makes a change not to feel rushed!

Popped in here for a semi-liquid lunch today between shopping spells. Made ourselves comfy (in the snug) over a pint of Landlord (gorgeous) and a half of Rudland (I think) ruby mild, while we waited for our fish and chips and properly made cheese burger to be prepared for us.As we've grown to expect, the quality of the beer was of the finest and the food was perfect pub grub (those chips!) and I don't mean corporate chain nonsense, I mean properly cooked food. The fish, as usual, was a generous size and have I mentioned the chips? Yum-tastic.To achieve perfect balance, the burger was accompanied by a second pint of Landlord - when it's that good, I think it's impolite to stop at one. The mild, to my great surprise, was also extremely pleasant.This a cracking wee pub.
