About This Pub
Ah, Trawlerman in Cleethorpes – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem, especially if you're after a laid-back spot near the sea. The staff are an absolute delight; they're so welcoming and go out of their way to make sure you're looked after, which really adds to the whole experience. Their carvery stands out as a highlight – the meat's always spot on and it's such good value, making it a go-to for a hearty meal. And if you're bringing the dog along, you'll love how pet-friendly it is; they've even got a menu for them, and the team treats them like part of the group. The pub garden is another plus, ideal for enjoying a pint in the fresh air when the weather's on your side. On the flip side, though, the overall menu can come across as a bit ordinary, like your typical chain pub grub without much flair, and the veggie selections don't have as much variety, which might leave some folks wanting more. Still, for a reliable spot to catch up with mates over decent food and drinks, it's definitely worth a visit – just keep expectations realistic for a straightforward pub day out.

Your standard carvery. Use it because it is local to us. Not a great veg selection, but the meat is always of a really good quality. The drinks are reasonably priced and there is a good selection. The cakes look better than they are. The other menu again is your standard chain pub food. Okay for a quick midweek meal or impromptu Sunday lunch
The staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful. Food was out of this world, we had carvery, gammon meal and desserts, the lemon meringue cake was absolutely delicious. We brought the dogs and I have never been to a dog friendly pub where dogs are treated like guests too. Can not recommend this place enough.
The staff were fab. The barman was very polite yet very chilled which was great. The food was fab as always and the chef serving the carvery was a giggle as always. They accommodated our increase in seats needed which was very much appreciated.
Lovely and very helpful staff. Very dog friendly, we usually find trouble with taking our dog into certain areas of pubs but here it's very clear dogs are welcome. One staff member even brought some water for him to drink which was nice. Lovely food, nicely decorated and well kept. Will be back soon!
