So many people I know have commented favourably over the years about this place that I decided to…read moretry it a few years ago. I can honestly say that I have never been back. There was nothing at all to endear me to it. There was no atmosphere, the decor is dated but not in a good way, the variety of food wasn't special at all and the prices were rather high considering what was being offered and the propensity of competition within yards. I wasn't impressed and giving it one star is being generous. Additionally I would be more inclined to call this a large cafe not a restaurant. I hope that it has changed in the intervening time but I doubt it.

On my journey to Cleethorpes, this place was one of the stand out experiences…read more I was told on good authority, the chap, that this was the place to go for good fish and chips so we ate here on the Saturday evening. Having spent the day taking in all the tourist activities, by 5pm we were really ready for a good solid nosh. And it's a good job we queued when we did, as within about 10 minutes of our arrival, the queue was half way down the street - an accolade to how popular this place is. The décor is cute, with lots of wooden panels, cute booths, and a sort of tea room feel to the upstairs dining area. It's definitely busy, and popular, so if you're a tourist get in quick lest you wait an hour for a table. I believe they do take away, but sitting in is a must unless it's a spectacular day to sit by the sea. The menu is straightforward - the main affair, obviously, is fish and chips. These come in different sizes, but let it be known that the medium is enough to feed a small army. There is a 'smaller appetite menu', if you're afraid of the huge portions, and a pot of tea and bread and butter comes with the fish and chips. Lovely, properly British. I'm not sure if my palate isn't advanced enough to tell the difference between seaside fish and chips, and city fish and chips, but I wasn't sure I could tell. That's not to say it wasn't utterly delicious. The gravy was exquisite, the batter was perfect, and the fish itself was never-ending and scrumptious. And of course, the pot of tea was the perfect accompaniment, although you're able to grab a lager if you can stomach beer alongside filling f&c. I hardly ever trust a cuppa outside my own house, but this was a solid pot. The staff were lovely, hard working, and managed to stay welcoming and friendly in spite of the volume of customers! All in all, a must if you're in town.

HA! It takes a trip across the Atlantic in order to get a first review in this day and age…read more I was in England for a family visit. We stayed in Louth. It was cute and quiet but seriously lacking in decent fish and chips. I kept hearing murmurs that fish had to be from Grimsby in order to be good. Go to Grimsby. If it's not from Grimsby, it's not worth eating. Ok. So where was Grimsby? And isn't this in Cleethorpes, not Grimsby? First day we were here, the day we landed in Humberside, we were whisked away to Cleethorpes for a proper tuck in of fish and chips. I was a little tired and cranky having just sat on an airplane for too long. But hungry. At Steels, there are different sizes of fish to order. Small. Medium. And PIGGY. I had a medium. After all: medium what? It turns out, fish come in different sizes! Who knew? A small fish was a bit bigger than my hand. Still very decent in quantity and high in quality. Medium turned out to be much too big but I ordered it anyway. Twice. It was the length of my forearm and wide as the oval plate. The fish arrive atop a pile of delicious chips. Oh Chips. Oh Chips. And then gravy. Oh gosh. I have a bad bad habit. The fish was nicely fried and even covered in a thin, light batter. The great thing about fried fish is that the batter is tasty when served fresh. And when you take the leftovers home, you can peel off the batter. But let me get back to the gravy. I didn't develop this crush until the last week we were in England. Because gravy makes chips go down even easier. Typically, I can eat one-third a serving of small chips. But serve the chips with gravy? I can suck down that puppy faster than the Kardashians can sell the rights to their anal bleaching. Mushy peas were atomic green. Buttered bread. Something so simple can steal my heart like a Welsh Terrier on a killing spree. And yes, I took all the leftovers home, from the entire table, including the buttered bread. Service here was very very good. Cleethorpes is a seaside town, if you know what I mean. There are many competing fish and chips shops. But this is the one that you queue up for. This is the one where you queue up and wait and wait because it's really quite impressive what they can do with a fry-a-lator.

I did have some decent meals there though..usually 2 meals for £6 or something. However having lived in the south for a year I almost fell over when I was asked for £1.35 for my pint of real ale last weekend. There is always a good selection of ales. It was quiet and they allowed my friends 16 year old daughter to sit with us while we had a drink. The Yarborough was owned by Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway Company and, eventually, by the LNER. After the Second World War, the British Transport Commission owned it. In 1951, it was bought by a brewery from Hull. In 1960, it was nearly demolished. The hotel, which is a symbol of the town's transition from an 18th-century fishing village into a great Victorian port, is now a listed building. It is one of the town's best-known landmarks . It was purpose-built in the mid 19th century (1851) to serve Grimsby's first railway. The hotel took its name from the second Earl of Yarborough, who was a director of the railway company and lived at nearby Brocklesby. Example prices..Guiness £1.49 Carling £1.39 Fish and Chips £2.99 Burger and chips £3.99 . Apparently 17,540 people joined them for the world's largest wine-tasting event, making them a Guiness world record holder. They are also Grimsbys Pub of the Year.
