I love this pub. The beers are always well cared for and top notch. The prices are very reasonable too. Keep up the great work
The old boat shed bar / pub is quite the find for the serious craft beer enthusiast and small batch spirit & good marque wine drinkers at reasonable prices . The boat shed vibe is relaxing and informal and is an eclectic mix of old and new decor some featuring maritime pieces to tie in with the buildings heritage and other quirky pieces of decor , that are easy on the eye and all blend in to create the very special old boat shed experience !! . The bar is an independent business and it's owners run the bar themselves , the service was most polite and friendly upon our visit and we were warmly welcomed and felt comfortable and relaxed . The bars prices are reasonable considering the quality of drinks on offer , as the wine we purchased was a quality brand and not a generic low grade drink !! And the red wine was fresh to the taste !! , We also had a small bottle of prosecco which was chilled to it's optimum temperature and served in the correct glass . The boat shed bar is also a dog friendly bar that welcomes well behaved dogs and is also a suitable bar for guide dogs and their owners as there is a clear central space without seating . The bar is cleaned to a good standard and it's WC facilities are cleaned regularly throughout the day to a good standard . The bar has a varied customer base , and I noticed that a it's a popular choice with ladies meeting up as it has a safe and steady approach to the drinking experience and also popular with couples , plus the regular customers who I'm sure went as customers but left as friends and return time and time again . The staff /owners really did push the boat out upon our visit with Their hospitality and welcome and if in the area again we surely will return . RECOMMEND BAR FOR THOSE WHO APPRECIATE QUALITY DRINKS & SERVICE IN RELAXING SURROUNDINGS !! Whilst in the Withernsea area .
A nice pub near the seaside. No Foster or Carling in sight! Not saying Carling is bad, but it's refreshing to see different beers on tap. Cornish lager and stout are nothing but nice :) and can't say I have seen them on tap before. For a small pub, plenty of seats outside as well inside.
Staying for the night in Withernsea in my campervan and delighted to find this gem. Good selection of well kept ales and a warm welcome!
Always a pleasant welcoming venue. Good beer and good company whether you are a local or a visitor.
