Our Family popped in for a pint and ended up ordering the coastfield classic burger for my son he said they are the best chips he's ever had, The Jacket potato for my other son, me and OH had the Giant filled yorkshires sausage one. All was bang on even came back the next day for seconds, and few pints. staff was lovely very welcoming.

Popped in with my other half for a quick pint on way back to caravan. Silly rabbit for a pint of Fosters and a pint of Heineken £11.30p no wonder the place was dead.

We went for a meal and had an awful experience. 40 min wait for the food, which turned up wrong, the bacon on the burgers was undercooked, missing chicken from the burger, the cheese slice on the burger was so thin you could see Skegness through it, no salad, small portions AND the food was cold. We ended up sending the food back and asking for a refund, it was shocking. Not to mention the smell of toilets - you could smell them from our table, the place was dirty with filthy tables and the floor was an absolute mess. I don’t want to blame the waitresses as they were absolutely lovely and friendly, but the place seems to be hugely understaffed, and over promises but under delivers. Never again

Three adults had 3 meals. The pie was very small and was inedible and was sent back to the kitchen. It was no better when a new meal came back. The other 2 meals were not very good either, most of the food was cold. Jacket potato was rock hard too. We could have spent our £48 better. Will not go again.

The place was filthy, unpleasant and unfriendly. The food portions were measly and unappetising. I would not not recommend this place to anyone!

Food was rubbish, ordered a filled yorkshire pudding with mash, sausage, onion gravy and peas.. only ate the yorkie as the mash tasted like smash, sausages were gristly and cheap no taste, the onions in the gravy still had skin on, kids meal was basically a tablespoon of mash, teaspoon of beans and 3 fish fingers, wouldn’t of fed a mouse.. a year ago we rated this pub brilliant but now definitely not, overpriced and rubbish

We came in for family meal. The meals in here aren't cheap either. We had a pizza and 2 of the pie,mash and peas meals. We asked for no bacon on the pizza but got it anyway and what my son said he thought was chicken was burnt The pie and mash was disgusting. The pie was somehow burnt and dry and looked like dry dog food and the mash was hard around the edges. We know it was bad due to staff staring at us on way past but not once asking if everything was ok with our meals We got up and left as it was just awful and inedible. Will never be eating here again!!!

Spotted this pub so decided to give it a go for tea while on our day trip. Bar tenders were helpful and friendly. A kitchen member came to us saying that they were out of the sides my daughter ordered and gave her a chance to choose another. Food tasted great cooked to perfection. The actual pub was spacious and clean many places to choose to sit

Absolute terrible my little boy was on the stack and grab machine (which he put quite a bit of money in) got to the top and then u have to choose a toy, the machine grabber was broke I got the “manager” and he said u just have to keep trying, I said I will be here all night the machine is broke, he said nothing I can do, do not spend your money in the arcade because if you win a toy they won’t get it! He walked off and hid in the back and wouldn’t come back out lol proper sh*t show! And that’s a “manager” lol! Oh and don’t buy beer from the arcade bar as smells of egg and just off! Buy bottle beer but to be honest id just avoid the place altogether!

Were advised we could go to see singer and lion show at the Coast fields holiday park for free,however when we arrived they charged us £15.00!Shocking as we were lead to believe it was free.The staff mislead us so will not visit either place again.The food and drink was okay but the staff weren't trustworthy so don't ask the staff at the village pub where to take kids for free entertainment as they will tell you it's free and your kids will get in there and you will be charged 5 pounds per person and your children will want to stay,also people who arrive are not staying at coastfields can play bingo which non members are not allowed to purchase tickets for and your forced to see this to watch the singer.The food is okay but nothing special.

Where to start. The man behind the bar refused to serve us before we had sat at a table and then stood up to come straight back to the bar for whatever reason. We then made the mistake of ordering food... The food was 43 mins with 4 other tables who werent even in the pub when we ordered getting, then finishing their food and ours was nowhere in sight. So after complaining about this wait time the food came out about 7-10 mins later. The chilli wasnt too bad but was a very small portion with only lukewarm rice. The lasagne on the other hand came out with half cooked garlic bread and stone cold interior. The staff also seemed to not care what so ever which was another nail in the coffin.DON'T COME HERE, complete waste of nearly 40 quid.

4 of us went here for lunch, and 1 member of my party had a nut allergy. I very politely asked if the food had been prepared and cooked in a nut free place. The oldish guy serving was downright rude and ignorant. He said, read the menu!. I replied that I had, I had the menu tossed at me with a very nasty reply. The other younger barman went to ask and gave me a civil answer. But we decided that we would go somewhere else. This is the 3rd time I've been here and would never return for any reason, place needs to be sorted as well, the smell from the toilets was horrendous. Avoid at all costs.

Food was okay not worth the 40 minutes wait tho. The toilets look like they had not been cleaned since the night before as there was vomit in both of the cubicles. One till for ordering food on a bank holiday weekend was not good enough the queue was going out the front door just for food.

We came on Wednesday 29th March for lunch. The portion sizes are shocking for an adults meal. The picture I’ve attached is my mother in laws pie , peas and mash. Pouring her gravy before even starting it. Looks like someone had already eaten most of it to start with. Half the plate empty. The peas were in a little bowl to fill the plate. Silly idea Quality of the food was very good to be honest but sizes for the price is shocking. Wouldn’t be our first choice because of this reason. We back in June and would be reluctant to come back again. We’ve been before and never had meals this small.

Came in sat down, as per covid instructions.No one came over to greet us and give us a menu, we attracted the attention of a member of the bar staff and ordered online using the qr code on the menu, chicken a la villager, lasagne and a couple of drinks. Drinks came a short while after, then nothing after 45 minutes still nothing, so went up to the bar spoke to the bar staff who found out that they were over whelmed with orders even though the pub was only a third full and not all were ordering food.The food then arrived after an hour, the lasagne was dry and the chicken a la villager was actually a pork steak.No apologies or anything!

When visiting here we were a group of 3 tennagers 4 adults all of which did not enjoy the food. ( avg meal price £9.99 so not a cheap meal) when entering a notice says due to covid follow measures im place! What measures?? Hand gels at entrance are empty and when entering inside everybody was on top of each other no tables distanced. We managed to find a raised area at the back like a booth which was perfect just for our group however we did have to clean the tables ourselves with antibac wipes as they hadnt been done. Menus were the old grubby plastic ones not throw away paper ones like others have so had to clean these too. Two of us went to order and was told after ordering 2 meals were sold out. Drink prices seemed a little high £24 for 2 pints, 2 halves 3 small cokes. Would of been nice to of been able to check the charge was correct but when i asked for receipt they dont do them and there is no drink prices up. Food arrived 5 mins apart, The mince was fatty and chewey the pasta all clumped together and hard so 2 of teenagers ate the garlic bread 3/4 spoons of pasta and said they coudnt eat it as it was disqusting. 2 others had the tuna mayo baguette which is basicly Tuna with a drizzle of mayo over the top noteven enough to mix it in so it is actual tuna mayo! Both only had half due to it been awful dry and not a nice taste. Chicken on salad was cheap pizza chicken which was also hard so most left. Spoke to the Manager who was exstreamly rude, sarcastic and unproffesional, wasnt intetested and didnt care. He actually argued the point the spaghetti bolonaise was nice and he knew it was nice because he himself had cooked it that very morning and had 3 different members of staff all try it and all said it was nice. Other than the young girl taking food orders Everything about this pub is Poor 1 star is to much.

Just spent almost £50 on food and to say it was poor is a compliment, the order consisted of 3 x fish and chips a chicken and bacon baguette and a kids meal, on arrival all three fish was full of bones and the chips were dry looks like they had been fried twice over..I will definitely think twice about eating there again.

it's a big sprawling space. like wetherspoons, its upstairs and a mile to the gents. the evening entertainment is ok, good for a laugh if you don't take it seriously. it's biggest downfall is the price of the food is getting dear. and it's nothing special. there are lots of cafes and restaurants within walking distance. so you think they would try to be more competitive

The pub itself is good and a great atmosphere.The real let down is the prices of beer and food. If the prices were competitive with other pubs in the area we would definitely spend more time in here. Also the quality of beer is not great. And we heard lots of other people saying the same so not just out opinion. Has real potential to be 5 stars. But sadly just 2 for us.

TERRIBLE!!! We went in for lunch when the place was quiet at the end of season too. After waiting an hour for very disappointing food I wished I had just got up and got a refund as I couldnt eat what I ordered. The tuna was stale! After asking when the food would come out we was given a story that a table of 10 ordered just before us but we was the table of 10 and we ordered 1 after the other. I had a baguette for god sake with chips that's were no better than oven chips! An hour and £9 is not good value for money. The staff are the least helpful too. I will never return to this place. I dread to think what happens when more than 2 tables are occupied at once

This pub has gone downhill from my previous visits. Visited on a Friday night, venue was pretty dead. The drinks were some of the more expensive in the area and the Theakstons (usually a cracking pint) was foul. Either massively watered down or completely off. Left the drink, left the building. Will be avoiding on our next holiday.

Got to about 9 o'clock I asked them when the characters were coming out and the two girls who were doing the entertainment said we don't have any characters.. They pub adveriste it all the time but we don't do it. so my two children were upset and disappointed!!!It was advertised everywhere even on Facebook few hours before it should have started, for then to be told you don't even have characters.. I could see why some left early and hardly no one turned up, you have done this before so the two girls said!!

Way too expensive for a pub trying to be a restaurant! The entertainment is the same thing you used to see at Blackpool 30 years ago with the constant old time Elvis tributes and all the other yesteryear dreadful wanna be karaoke stars. The noise is so loud you have to shout to be hears, the WC is a marathon walk up flights of stairs and if you survive all that, outside in the front garden area is a man with a mic who loves to ridicule people walking past. in this day and age i am surprised he is still standing!!!

Visited here for a meal on a rainy Saturday. Was very busy, but we managed to get a table. Slightly strange way to go about ordering but you go to one desk for food, which we had to queue for ages to order. Pick up cutlery, condiments and describe where you are seated, then queue (again for an age) to purchase drinks at the bar. Finally back to the table to wait for our order. The seating is quite cramped, lots of tables squeezed in and with various feral children running around it feels a little crowded. Didn’t see any tables get wiped over the whole time we were there and the floor is sticky! Can’t fault the food once it arrived, hot, good sized portions and good quality. Wouldn’t eat here again though, nice food but poor set up.

Not good when you are starving and suffering from a hangover. But the the wait was worth it even though it took a further 10 minutes to get service at the carvery counter. The food was amazing. Meat was gorgeous and were able to have a bit of all the meats which was some freshly cooked beef, pork, gammon and turkey. Lots of different veg, stuffing, Yorkshire puds and gravy. We thoroughly enjoyed the food. Was delicious. Staff very friendly and it was lovely that we were able to get extra gravy in a jug also. Would definitely recommend. They even had horseradish sauce which is a must with beef and not to be charged extra was good because paying £9.95 each then you wouldn't expect to be charged extra.

We have had 2 meals at the villager 2 nights running and the food was perfect very tasty and really good portion sizes. The staff are so friendly and willing to help any way they can and with the added bonus of them being dog friendly it is the perfect place to eat!

Visited here with my daughters. The portions are very large , so make sure you go when hungry. The prices are a bit dearer than other in the local area, but only by about £2 or so. I would return

Clean inside plenty of tables inside and out. Great food plenty of options and meals @ 2 for £14. Friendly staff only down side is the positioning of the stage inside for the entertainment. Not enough room around the stage causes a bottle neck with...

Came here for lunch today. The food was very nice and portions were bigger than average however we couldn’t eat it all and would rather have spent less money for the right amount of food. £9.95 for a baguette and chips. The staff were friendly and our little one was welcomed with high chair provided, although we did have to wipe this down before using it. The music was on fairly loud so don’t expect a quiet lunchtime meal. There was a mixture of folk from lone drinkers, groups out for a few beers and families eating meals. Overall it was fine and the food hygiene was a grade 5. Carvery looked nice although we didn’t order it.

Sorry but this is one pub I wish me and my family had never discovered, its dirty tables are not kept clean and the staff are rude when complaining about food, please avoid at all costs and no doubt management will argue my review after reading a few so far but I can honestly say this is my honest review, more for people on the lash then for familys never again was actually disgusted with the whole thing!

Expensive drinks and food that was just warm. Very disappointing seeing that a number of people recommend this place, but I suppose you learn from your mistakes

Called in on the last weekend of the season. Ordered food which was very good. But when it came to having a drink £4.40 a pint my God I thought I was in London. For a place so far away from London how on earth can they charge that much I'll never know. Its the same in scallywags and their adjoining bar.we found cheaper places else where so won't be going back to either bars.

The villager pub has some good entertainment aswell as pub food and great place for a drink. Enjoyed my last visit there and there was a good atmosphere.

We dread taking my husband to any restraurant, he is a nightmare. Always complains and we can never go back twice anywhere. However, we ordered 2 beef carvery meals, a chicken korma, gammon and a rump steak. It was gone 5 on 1st October so low season. The meal was delivered well presented and a reasonable time wait. Hubby tucked in, we were waiting, we ate ours, he ate his. Next thing his plate is empty. He loved every morsel of it. It has got to be a first. We thought this cannot be grumpy grandad sat here and checked the back of his neck to be sure. Nope it was not an imposter. He really liked his meal. AND we ordered puddings and he enjoyed all that too. He liked the venue, he wants to come back and eat again, he wants to see Lee Evans next summer. The place is 5 star.

Return visit to a favourite location of my late husband. Love the flat coastline for walking. The regular buses and the bus fares are really good. The choice of food outlets are plentiful. Entertainment venues are well kept.

Visited for the first time with family for a lunchtime meal. Really enjoyed the food and would eat here again. Nice ambience with music but it wasn't too overpowering - just right. Bit of a strange ordering system though, have to order food and drink from separate tills which is a bit awkward having to queue twice. There are also no table numbers - you have to kind of describe where you are sitting which was a bit tricky when it was our first visit. Staff weren't rude but have definitely been served by friendlier staff members in other pubs of a similar nature. As said, we would eat here again but I feel there is some room for improvement.

Visited a few times over the years as a stop gap during a day out locally. This time we tried the 2 for £14 menu, the portions were really good & the food was good for your standard pub fayre. Charged quite expensively for a portion for a baby however and the menu outside of the daily deal is very expensive so was cheaper to get another childs meal on the deal price but then alot of waste.

The lighting was poor when trying to read menu The food was good and plentiful but very loud music bit much when trying to chat the night we went the rock icons was awful and a member of audience got up to sing even worse !!! Just stick to the excellent food and forget entertainment

Nice looking place , food looked nice although we only had cake. Not happy about a smelly rubbish bin on table and when I discreetly gave them some out of date sauce , one young lady snapped they were best before dates!! Rude and won’t be going again

Awful drinks, this place has benches and tables along the front which cannot be used unless you purchase so we went for coffee - they do not serve decaf! A coffee place without decaf in 2024! Hot coffee and coffee was £5.80, they had no lids, no extras offered on the hot chocolate. Go along the parade to Butlins for a lovely hot choc, with extras for less and benches a plenty with a friendly service plus you even get a biscuit. Bibby's felt unwelcoming, poor on service and customer needs. Only the front counter looked open and the prices were insane for a coastal basic snack bar. Not going back, there was horrible grain in the bottom of the cup which didn't even look like chocolate 😕 I threw it away and went to sit on the wall. Needs to up its game for 2025 and be appealing as the competition is much better.
