"at the arrival we were very well welcomed and the service is very nice here, we were set immediately. our starters were great, but that's where it ended! this place had a new boil (cook), as confirmed by the waitress and oh it shows! that is. a scandal for this place. the main thing my wife was served, I would ask someone “have they ever heard of a “Slowed belly Pork”, not to crack sat up?” ... but a huge piece slowly cook grossly fat. the answer would be from anyone who is more important a cook, no! we were then told: "It is not intended to crack and in the did have the slimy fat" I liked one! for someone who has worked in the kitchen for a few years, I find this insulting. in addition, I ordered a filet steak, a beautiful rest of the meat, which should be cooked with carefree bread to be served rare medium “good made” ... the waitress to her loan replaced it... shocked... medium turned. not what I wanted! I also asked for a red wine jes to be served a gravy. without red wine taste! at this point they have to ask who is in the kitchen. it's criminal to have a new cook that doesn't fit the ability to cook dishes with such fantastic products from a brilliant metzger that I spend at least months! these courses can be cooked better at home tonight. credit to the waitresses as they have to pick up the pieces, the owner of porterhouse has to get a proper cook that knows how to cook properly because slowly boiled boils. with a plate of slim un-Rededed pork fat is not as it should be done and filet steak is rare to medium as it says! very disappointed"

"We booked the Eileen Proctor night for 7th December 2022, for this to be cancelled 2 hours before the show was about to start. I had to message the facebook page to see when this would be reschduled and they told me it was now going ahead 15th February. The week before this was due to go ahead, I messaged the facebook page to make sure this was still happening as I hadn't seen any advertisement for this. It took 3 facebook messages, an email and 3 phone calls for me to get a response. The response when they finally answered the phone was a rude lady telling me she knew nothing about the event and nothing was in the diary. I asked if the manager could call me as we had paid £45 for this and needed the refund. All I got was a rude facebook message saying she didn't have time to call me back and it had been rescheduled again for April. At this point, they were just making up dates just to tell us anything. My friend (who booked the tickets) went in to collect the refund which they said we could have to be greeted by a rude huff from the waitress and to be told we had to wait. Would not recommend to visit this pub as my first and only experience has been disgusting."

"Poormenu is limited. The staff are all lovely but inexperienced. We have eaten at this establishment previously and had been very disappointed on that occasion. In our opinion things have not improved, we both chose the crab linguini, we expected it to be fresh tasting creamy and light, it was the total opposite, gloopy and dry with ‘crunch’ the chef seems to add pancetta to every meal! This gave the impression that we were crunching through crab shells! Not a nice experience. We felt the quality of the crab to be poor, so much so, my partner suffered gastrointestinal symptoms for the rest of the evening! We will not be eating here again."

"What a find! Great little (it is a bit cosy) Indian restaurant. Don't be put off by the location, the actual food is amazing. We were staying locally, hadn't booked, but were able to get a last minute table. We had a bit of a wait for the food, but gosh it was worth it! My husband had a lamb curry and said it was probably the best lamb curry he has ever had. My chicken makhani was superb, succulent and plenty of chicken breast. Our garlic and coriander naan was huge, hot and very tasty, as were my onion bhajis. We will definitely be back!"

"First time customer Many times I have driven to cleethorpes for gluten free curry sauce and today I was going to do the same, then my wife found the jolly fryer with a huge host of gluten free items including curry sauce The shop was easy to find and parking can be tricky but I managed to park outside. The shop was large and very clean ... like very clean! The staff looked clean presentable ...nothing worse than walking in to a food establishment and seeing someone who looks scruffy! The owner Mr jolly ill get on to him later really has put the effort in to this chippy and it shows The food .... I ordered 1 large gluten free sausage 1 large gluten free cod, gluten free curry sauce and chips The chips wasn't bad .. Nice crisp outer and soft inner they wasn't dripping with oil and nice and dry didn't stick to the box or paper... the only way the chips could be better if they was fried in dripping my personal choice The sausage was a standard chippy sausage not over cooked or dry and was decent The gluten free cod A nice crisp fish batter not to hard and not mushy, the fish was lightly battered and was perfect ... nothing worse than having fish caked in 4mm of batter. The curry sauce A very tasty gluten free curry sauce the viscosity was perfect and wasn't lumpy it was nice and smooth just like the other chippy I use in cleethorpes. Even if you don't have ceoliac disease or a gluten intolerance PLEASE TRY THE GLUTEN FREE CURRY SAUCE!!!! The owner aka... MR JOLLY You can tell he has put his heart in to this place and it shows a very clean and well equipped chippy that put the effort in so everyone can eat hear! Good attention to detail and he take pride in his work! This was the first time I have been to the jolly fryer and first impressions count, he is very welcoming and talks to everyone.. The negative I should have had haddock my own fault I asked for salt and vinegar and non was put on the wonderful lady must not have heard me Overall The food was piping hot even after a 10 minute drive to a less busy spot Mr jolly keep up the good customer service and the pride you take is brilliant A solid 9 out of 10 Will be returning and hopefully next time do a video food review for my channel"
