What 578barbrad likes about The Lifeboat Inn:
The pub was very welcoming and the food was excellent. We enjoyed the best pub fare in a long time. The salad was superb with plenty of cold meats, and my husband loved the scampi - he said the chips were the best he's had in a while. View all feedback. What Gareth Skillen (Pinky pie) doesn't like about The Lifeboat Inn:
Do not recommend this restaurant. The owner's brother is involved in illegal drug activities and the restaurant has a shady environment. Food quality, service, and atmosphere all received a rating of 1. View all feedback.

Absolute hidden gem of a place. Brilliant value for money food is gorgeous

The Lifeboat offers a varied dining experience, highlighted by a warm, welcoming staff. Many patrons praise generous portions and value for money, particularly enjoying the Sunday carvery and quality fish and chips. However, some reviews raise concerns about food quality, citing instances of overly greasy dishes and poor initial service experiences. The ambiance is rated well, with a charming beer garden, although the interior may feel dated. Overall, while there are notable highlights, potential diners should weigh the mixed feedback before deciding to visit this establishment.
