Friendly down to earth, proper pub. Had a Sunday lunch recently. It was really nice. Piping hot, fresh beautifully cooked vegetables and a good portion of meat and gravy. Would recommend.

Stopped here for lunch/light snack. I had a lincolnshire sausage sandwich with seeded bread. I advised that I was cow dairy intolerant, so I missed out on the coleslaw. The side salad and extra chips were good too. Was advised there could be a 20-minute delay, but we didn't wait that long.

A nice spot for a drink or two, seems popular with locals and visitors. Very friendly service, good selection of drinks including cocktails and pizza 🍕 every Friday evening. Mediocre food quality and main reason I deduct one 🌟

Group of 8 of us looking for food, was fairly close to the cut off point for food but staff were very friendly and reassured us it was all good to order. When the food arrived it was all homemade and not microwaved. All the food we had was excellent and the chips were especially good! Would definitely come back!

Had a lovely Sunday lunch here. Food choice was Pork, Beef or Gammon, we both opted for gammon and it came with roast and mash potatoes, parsnips and Yorkshire pudding. Vegetables were carrot, cabbage, broccoli, sweed and leeks with cheese and a jug of gravy. All veggies were cooked to perfection, the portion of leeks in cheese sauce was rather small but fortunately I don't like leeks so it was plenty for my husband but would probably not have been enough for 2. We both had black forest gateau for dessert. A lovely young lad took our order and served us promptly and the food arrived shortly after. Very nice meal and pleasant staff my only complaint is that the knives could have been sharper/better as it was quite difficult to cut the meat even though it was tender when you ate it. We enjoyed our meal and will definitely return.

Popped in for lunch. My partner had the mixed grill, absolutely first class, locally sourced sausages and meat. The chips were real, proper hand cut, no frozen rubbish, the real deal Lincolnshire potatoes. It was perfectly cooked and plentiful. The peas tasted fresh, for someone who doesent normally eat peas, he ate the lot. I had the mushroom stroganoff which was superb, beautifully presented and wonderfully flavoured. They also offered home made deserts but we were too full to try them this time. Really enjoyed the food, the barman and chef were very friendly and welcoming. Thank you for a lovely lunch, we will be back again very soon. Would highly reccomend this gem of a venue.

We have a caravan close to Spilsby and when shopping in the centre of Spilsby we discovered this pub after having it recommended to us by a local shopkeeper. From the minute we walked in we felt part of the family. We were greeted warmly by Staff and all customers in at the time and immediately felt at home and later met James and Dan the owners. They have made this a pub that welcomes everyone and respects them no matter who they are as long as that respect is returned. The first time Terry went in, being in the pub trade in the past, he ticked all the boxes that to him made a great pub and we've never looked back. The decor is a bit oldie worldy/traditional with the feel of a good old English pub but has modern touches to suit all tastes eg. A fabulous coffee machine which makes lots of different coffees - latté, mocha, cappuccino etc and as I often drive so Terry can enjoy a few drinks, the coffee machine is perfect for me. The pub also does proper home cooked pub grub such as Liver and bacon, stew and dumplings, cottage pie etc as well as filled cobs, baked potatoes and desserts to die for, specials and much more all at extremely reasonable prices. The pub has facilities to eat upstairs or down so can cater to all tastes. In the winter there are 2 roaring coal fires and it's a cosy atmosphere with a very friendly ambience. There is also a pool table and dartboard and team matches are played, as well as dominoes for customers who like it. We have had Sunday roast there and attended the steak night and they are both highly recommended as we received first class food and service. There is a good selection of beers and ales both draught and bottled including Batemans ales served in a sleeve glass to Terrys delight. There is also a good selection of wines, spirits cocktails and soft drinks with a plan to introduce guest beers and a cocktail corner. James also makes a good non alcoholic cocktail for the customer who is driving. Dan and James also hold music events, quiz nights and charity events, (the last one of which we attended and which raised £800 for British Heart Foundation and also local charities). There is also outdoor seating for relaxing summer evenings and some parking to the rear as well as numerous parking facilities in the area. If you want a lovely time in a real welcoming English pub then this is the place to go and we would highly recommend it as feel you would not be disappointed. After the caravan it is our second home!

We were having a stroll around Skegness and my wife said she was rather peckish so, being by the seaside, fish and chips it was . The sea front were doing a lot of business but I went to the old part of town and we saw this old fish and chip shop saying they've been serving fish and chips since 1929 ,so I presume they had got the hang of it by now . Large fish and chips was £10 and so we shared a portion . What lovely serving it was as well . Fish was well cooked , the batter crispy, chips were lovely to and plenty of mushy peas . Top value for the money and a reminder of how lovely fish and chips can be . So stroll away from the tourist traps for 5 minutes and treat yourself

Lovely fish and chips hot and fresh cooked to order . Few seats outside or you can sit inside at extra cost . Only reason I've not given 5 stars is cause they charge for a carton to take away what you can't eat which I thought was a bit mean as we'd spent over £30
