Had some amazing food here recently.  Kinda stumbled upon it - in my list for places to eat in Grimsby now!  Go stumble upon it yourselves! 👍👍

Great little spot to stop in for a pint and a bite. Been here a couple times, the staff is friendly and the food is pretty good. Prices aren't too bad. The have live music some nights which is always a fun time.

I love their Thursday's nights, jugs night! Love their fish and chips, too! Highly recommended if you are in the area and you want to experience the old fashion pub atmosphere!

This is a Grimsby staple I am told. Went here with a group on recommendation form a local as we were looking for a pub style establishment.

The atmosphere is pub style and we loved it. A distinct ciggy smoke smell was a bit much at first but honestly it did fade after some time AND it really added to the overall experience, which is a bit strange to say. I could do without it which is why I give it a bit lower score on the atmosphere side.

Food wise this place is excellent. Pub style grub, with some nice additional dishes - something for everyone.

I had the steak and Guinness pie and it was incredible. The crust was excellent. Portion size in my opinion was a BIT lacking but overall enjoyable.

Everyone else enjoyed their food and the service was standard for a pub. Friendly waiter/waitresses who really have it down to an art - pub style service is great!

Overall? It’s a great spot for a bite, or a brew. I would go here again!

Service? Well, when we arrived no one was on the ball to seat us. We were waiting quite awhile before the young woman came from the back to take us to a table. We also waited a lengthy time for our food even though it wasn't busy...and we had to wait to get our bill. Our server was sweet but we were not impressed with service. The whole point of having a hostess is that she's up front to greet you when you come in and seat you. I'm not sure if she was doing tasks at the back but she seemed to be socializing instead of doing her job.
Food. Without a doubt, worst pub fare I've ever had. I ordered a Reuben which is a deli classic. It's one of my go-to options.
Worst Reuben I've ever had.
The meat was dried out completely and crispy.
Not in a pleasant way. It came with fries, which were extremely over-salted and cold. Super disappointed. He had fish and chips. You can't really screw up fish and chips?!? Other than he also felt his fries were cold and over-salted.
The bill was seriously expensive.
Atmosphere? We were happy to be seated in front of the nice tv to be watching the football game but it's not very esthetically pleasing in here.
Would not recommend.
In zero rush to return back.

I never mind paying for quality....there was no quality here.
It was not worth it 😢😢😢
