Yates - East Lindsey

As the title says, this pub is exactly what you expect it to be. The location is nice and overlooks a swimming pool next door and is right in the centre of Skegness, yards away from the clock tower. Beers are reasonably priced and they have many offers on. We have always found the food to be typical pub grub and its well priced too. Decent sized menu and food always served swiftly and hot. Lots if TV's in here as well to watch live sport if that's your thing

Skegness isn't exactly known to be a real ale town, so I wasn't surprised that one two(! pubs listed as Casque Marque is a Yates the other one's a Spoon. The location is actually nice, with limited outside seating. Décor wise,... Well, it's a Yates. Staff were reasonably friendly. The food I ordered, alas, turned out to be poor indeed. A mixed grill: The steak I had ordered rare was well done, and burnt on the outside. The chicken was dry as dust, the gammon okay, as were the onion rings. The fries had barely seen the inside of the fryer and were soft and flabby. The presentation wasn't exactly inviting either (see photo . I had had a mixed grill for a similar price at a place called The Bank in Nottingham two days earlier no comparison. I'd say this food is below Spoon standard, which should tell you a lot. So, go there for the location and the decently priced beers, not for the food.

Decided to eat there because it was near by. Drinks ok at reasonable prices. Food mediocre. main problem the place was dirty looking tables very sticky dirty.

Stopped off for lunch and had cocktails (2 4 1) food was nice and service good mind you there were not many people in at the time we were there.

We spent a couple of nights at Skegness. Eating a little bit limited due to it being end of season. First night we called at Yates for our tea. Very tasty. Second night we were going to go elsewhere but Yates looked to be quite busy so decided to go there again. We both had steaks. I had the skinny steak. I am very fussy as I like my steak blue. It was perfect. The barman was concerned about how it came out. It was perfect and I told him so. We have eaten here before and I would highly recommend.
