A proper pub in the middle of the town centre. Originally home to old rockers and students only,…read morethe refurbishment and intro of a good well organised chef has made it much more family friendly. (Children allowed if supervised) food is served until 7pm. A quiz is held weekly on a Monday with free food served whilst answers are checked. Staff are friendly and happy to help. An appreciation for good music isn't necessary but may be of help at times!the cocktails are outstanding!

I used to dislike this Wetherspoon pub because it was always packed on a Friday and Saturday night…read moreand I would come out with bruises. 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.

After paying further down south prices, we were amazed when we paid for such a cheap round! It is…read morevery reasonably priced. It's full of old men drinking their pensions away and it's a blessing the smoking ban came in as you couldn't see in there a while ago. The food is average Wetherspoons grub, cheap and cheerful.

Owned by Ember Inns it is run on a slightly different format to the other Ember inn pub in the…read morearea. It has separate restaurant and bar areas. The layout and decor is quite modern and pleasant. Bear prices have been raised again of late and are setting the pub apart form others now as a premium drinking place (the manager stated she wanted to price a certain element out of her venue). Unfortunately she is also pricing the others away at the same time. The restaurant is trying to be upmarket with less than upmarket offerings. The burgers are quite nice but served on a piece of wood which allows your food to fall on the table!. Customer service in the Wheatsheaf is possibly the worst in the area with only 1 or 2 members of staff being the exception. If you try to change chips for salad or something similar a major debate occurs and you are made to feel odd because you requested it. The staff member then states she has to discuss this with the Chef to see if he will allow it! Genarally the food is of reeasonable quality without being exceptional but the lack of manners particularly by the bar staff is unnacceptable. Not somewhere that is on our top ten and will only use when we want a change of scenery in future. Interestingly enough some friends of ours experienced poor customer service when they sent a meal back and were made to feel very bad about them questioning the quality of the food being served.

The Tap and Spile can be found on the river behind Freshney Place Shopping Centre…read more There are two entrances. One is in Garth Lane and has parking. The other is over a little bridge across the river and in though The Haven Mill. The pub is a part of the old mill and has a kind of industrial building feel to it with metal girders and a wooden terrace overlooking the river. Great for sitting out on in summer but the river can be a bit smelly in hot weather. It is L shaped and bands set up in a corner. Good music from Blues and Folk to acoustic nights, open mike and general. A mix of ages in the clientel. Good food to be had here and the drinks are well priced. The staff can be a little rude sometimes though. A great place for atmosphere and good music.

Safe to go back in now. Under new management. Halleluya!read more

I was told that it is currently being built up into a real ale pub with background music allowing us older folks the pleasure to go somewhere and have a decent pint in decent surroundings. You can have a game of darts or a game of dominoes without youngsters yelling and shouting in your ear all of the time. Gone are the days of the old P and M for those of us that remember those days, welcome to Walters, a traditional old style public house where you can get a pint and a sandwich. I bought a pint of real ale and a sandwich and only paid £3.50. Certainly value for money. I have certainly recommended this pub to all of my friends.

Well worth a stopover, if only for curiosity, is the Laceby village pub. Nothing majorly remarkable…read moreexcept it was formerly two pubs - the Nags Head and the Waterloo. I rememebr it as two so not that long ago. It is reputed to have earned a place in the Guiness Book of Records as being the two most closely situated pubs in the country,prior to their being joined, next to each other. It is in the market square..the hub of the village. Taking the name of the Nags Head, the pub also serves food and beverages. The Nags Head is highly recommended as friendly and welcoming, it is the only pub in the village though, since when it was two pubs. Laceby has retained a traditional village atmosphere. It has managed to remain fairly separated from Grimsby. The centre of the village dates back to the 1800s and the village post office, which opened in 1849 and is due to celebrate its 150th birthday later this year, is said to be one of the oldest in Britain. Laceby has a village school and library and each year a church fete with stalls and other activities is held.

It is pretty unusual as it has it's own brewery. As it brews its own beer it is great for real ale enthusiasts they do food at lunch time but not tried it so no idea what it is like. Friendly staff if you can get near the bar and a good crowd of all ages. Another great place for viewing the Cleethorpes carnival from.

On the Cleethorpes visit, we went to this bar several times. According to locals in the know, it's…read morethe only place to go. I can see why - it's got something of a Mediterranean vibe to it, with a little patio out the front, from which the sea is just about visible, and inside it's tiled, with a long hall style area and a few tables near the bar. It has its own brewery, as the owner is something of a beer geek apparently, and there's plenty of good spirits, good real ales, and a range of lagers to sup. Come the weekend it can become a bit of a squeeze, but unlike some places, this seemed to add to the atmosphere, which was by and large rather jovial. It even has a back entrance that makes you feel like you're stepping in (or out) of some kind of secret bar. I am a fan.
