Yardbirds Rock Club

Reviewed By philc532 - Keyingham, United Kingdom

The title reflects the current restrictions of covid and Yardbirds have excelled in trying to get live music back on .everyone welcoming and friendly and have been many times but not in strange times .On entry checked in via app then temperature taken and showed to a choice of tables all with screens between for our safety.Drinks ordered by text and all very good prices with many offers available. The solo gig with Jim Kirkpatrick (fm)promoting his solo album was a gem and even limited to just 50 people it sold out ..Well done to Yardbirds for giving us a chance to see live music

Grimsby Golf Club

A real hidden jewel in Lincolnshire. You stumble upon the impressive and distinctive clubhouse, which sits back slightly from the road in an almost understated way. You will be surprised that a golf course exists in an area which, at first glance, seems to be surrounded by houses, but be prepared as this beautiful course will take your breath away. At 6,142 yards, the course is not particularly long, but it is a demanding yet enjoyable test of your golfing skills. Established in 1922, the course is set in 123 acres of mature, undulating parkland and was designed by renowned course architect, Henry Shapland 'Harry' Colt and is unique to this area of Lincolnshire.

Docks Beers

Docks Beers is a craft beer brewery, taproom and beer shop in an old Church near Grimsby's famous Docks. Our brewing is inspired by our location and the hard work ethic of dockers past and present. We brew our beers on an exhibition brewery which is in full view of the taproom. Visitors can watch the brewers hard at work while they sup a pint chosen from a number of Docks Beers on tap, or a selection of real ales on handpull brewed by our sister brewery Axholme Brewing Co. We also stock a range other brewery's beers, wines, gins, cider and soft drinks. We have snacks - crisps, nuts, cured meats and pickled eggs. If you fancy something more substantial we have a wood fired sour dough pizza menu from Tredici who will deliver pizza to the taproom. Brewery tours and beer tastings are available on the first Saturday of every month. There are four tours 10:30, 12:00, 13:30 and 15:00. Tours must book in advance via our website. Our off-licensed shop sells beers and merchandise to take away.

Grimsby Fishing Heritage Centre

Experience the height of the fishing industry of Great Grimsby! A job often described as the 'most dangerous peacetime occupation in the UK', these men literally risked their lives in order to bring home fish to a port described as 'the world's premiere fishing port'. Come and see their story!

Reviewed By MrsMcNeill - Leicester, United Kingdom

A fantastic museum to delight all ages. Great interactive displays which give you an idea of being aboard a trawler. The absolute best bit was the tour of the Ross Tiger trawler by the old Skipper. This was amazing. So interesting. A must do if you are in Grimsby.

What a hidden gem this place is! Havent been in the area long and decided to venture out with my 11 year old daughter before covid hit and was so surprised how good this place was! It's a must to visit, very good inside and cramped with history and things to see. The hall above it is amazing too. If your in the area you really do need to pay this place a visit, you will be very surprised.

Countryman

Reviewed By Q5937BNah

We are recently retired to Humberston and have been gradually testing the local food and drink establishments. We noticed that the Countryman had started serving fish and chips on Friday and Sunday lunch as takeaways. We decided to support them this weekend and made the right decision. Both meals were excellent in every respect. Carefully prepared, sensibly packaged and reasonably priced. Sunday lunch in particular was superb. I can thoroughly recommend them Andrew H
