The Tow Bar

This pub was recommended to us at the beginning of our holiday at Cayton Bay Holiday Park, but we decided to leave it until this evening to visit as we are going home tomorrow. This pub is literally across the road, and on some evenings, you can hear the outside live entertainment. I had read the previous reviews and felt it was a bit of a hit or miss. I didn't allow it to put me off and felt I needed to visit and judge for myself. I am SO GLAD I DID. The Tow Bar was extremely busy, which tells me instantly how good it must be. The pub was warm, welcoming and the staff friendly. We managed to find an available table, which was next to the disabled toilet, which I did not see beforehand, or I wouldn't have chosen to sit there. The menu has a limited selection, but there is lots to choose from, if you get what I mean. The prices are, on average, a bit more than what I would spend, but on receiving our meals, it was more than plentiful. I did choose to have extras such as the gorgeous homemade onion rings and coleslaw. The queue was long (people were served quickly) when ordering our meals and drinks, and I was surprised as to how quickly our food was delivered to us. Our meals were beautiful, and we were incredibly impressed with it all, including the service from the bar staff and the young man who delivered our meals. There is an outdoor hut called called 'The Hitch' that offers waffles, ice cream, and milkshakes. I did see a member of staff go out of her way to accommodate a little boys request of a milkshake because it had closed, which I thought was so kind of her. This is a lovely and lively, friendly family pub and I would highly reccomended you to visit. I have attached photographs of the menu because it was something I couldn't find on the reviews, which I would have liked to have seen beforehand 😊

Great dog friendly pub , with great outdoor seating , and a dog area inside . Prices were relatively ok, and menu looked interesting. One minor niggle is the “Handmade Pizzas”( using a fired pizza oven ). The pizza ordered arrived in a badly presented way - the maker obviously was in a rush , and pizza was not circular as one would expect , but some strange non-uniform creation ( thus leaving lots of pizza dough uncovered by sauce and topping ), and aesthetically displeasing . Tasted great , but price did not justify the toppings. Apart from that , everything else was fine .

Great service, lovely warm food and great value for money! Homemade chips were very good! I would definitely recommend here and will make sure to come again.
