The Smugglers in Cleethorpes

Ah, The Smugglers in Cleethorpes is one of those pubs that just feels like a warm hug when you walk in, especially if you're after a bit of that classic British pub charm right by the seafront. I've got to say, the Sunday roasts are an absolute highlight – think tender meat, perfectly crispy potatoes, and those spot-on Yorkshire puds, all at prices that won't break the bank, making it ideal for a family lunch or catching up with mates. The staff are just brilliant, always up for a laugh and making sure everyone's looked after, which really sets the tone for a lively yet welcoming atmosphere. It's fantastic for sports enthusiasts too, with loads of screens for Sky and TNT, and don't forget the pool tables and dart board for some friendly competition. On the flip side, it's a shame the food's only on offer at the weekends, so if you're midweek, you might be limited to their solid drink selection, which includes great pints and some cheeky deals on spirits. And while the location's a plus, it can get a tad bustling on peak times, so arriving early might be wise if you fancy a more relaxed pint. Overall, it's a solid choice for anyone in the area looking for good value and a genuine pub experience – I'd definitely pop in again for another round!
