"So we relocated from Manchester to Kirk Ella in East Riding in March 2021. Since that date we have been on a journey of discovery in East Riding, Hull, North Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Cleethorpes is our place to go if we want a little bit of English seaside for the day. We have been to many places for something to eat. Anyway on a sunny Saturday at the end of February we went for a few hours. 5 adults and 2 grandchildren. We wanted something to eat, but did not want Fish and chips, pub meal or sit down meal. We just went into Cleethorpes centre and came across this little restaurant. I won 't go into what everyone had but the menu was fine and the food and drinks available was very good. So my son had been a chef in Manchester but on moving decided on a career change. He is hard to please food wise and can be highly critical about food . We have had many meals in various places from posh to greasy spoon roadsides. The menu says its cheese on toast is famous, so he decided to have that with added bacon. Anyway since our visit we had a conversation about food whilst having a meal in Hull which he did not enjoy. During that conversation he said that the best thing he had eaten by a country mile since our move was the cheese on toast at this place. Trust me, if he says that, it is good. I know he was impressed because he left a sizeable tip for the staff. He has been in hospitality since leaving school and knows when staff should be rewarded for good food and service. The staff were polite and friendly and like i said the rest of the offerings were excellent as well. Will be visiting again."

"Firstly, I want to start with the positives the food was fantastic. If your only consideration is the food, then you may just have a great time. Kitchen staff get A*. The service was very hit and miss however. You may be waiting some...time to catch somebody's eye to order, and then they may rush off before the full order has been given. The waiting staff had not heard of several of the wines on their list. Whiskey was served in a brandy glass with a slice of lemon port was served in a tumbler. Not exactly world-ending stuff, but when paying what is certainly a premium price, you do expect a better level of service in these areas. One glass of wine had a significant amount of foreign matter' resembling string in the bottom of the glass. This was taken off the bill, but was a bit of an appetite killer. Napkins were taken away with main course dishes, and no replacements brought back, which was odd. Cheese board to share pieces) came with no plates and one knife to share between us for butter and cheese. Luckily we were in no rush. After the meal we went to the lounge to finish our drinks, and asked at reception if a taxi could please be called for us. We were told they might struggle to get one booked for some time, but there was one coming shortly which was no longer needed and that we could have that one. We waited for half an hour, and then it turned out that the guests who had booked the taxi had not cancelled at all. We ended up walking home. None of the issues were especially massive in themselves, but served to erode our good spirits over the course of the night. If we had paid half the price and gone with lower expectations, we might say it was not bad'. However as a restaurant with a silver service history and airs of fine dining, it falls way short."
