    Last Friday (08/12) my wife and I decided to pay the Tale of Two in Cleethorpes a visit having not been there for a long time having previously enjoyed the Tapas. The bar was quite busy and I was pleasantly surprised to find a couple...More

    Birthday celebrations

    My two friends and I went for a birthday meal on a Friday night. The food was delicious. We had 8 tapas dishes between us and that was plenty. I had told them beforehand that it was my friend’s birthday so when she ordered dessert,...More

    Rubbish

    I’ve tried and I’ve tried! I’ve spent good money with them! But since it’s changed hands it’s not been the same. Poor service! Bar and restaurant! Poor? No interest, it’s just about money. Who ever owns it! Obviously is a spanner! I’m not going back.

    Rude management

    The ‘General Manager’ as he likes to call himself is rude. There are far better friendly pubs in close proximity . If you want to laugh and enjoyyourself the tale of two is NOT the place to be !

    Started off well. Nice decor and the beer is really nice (expensive for the area though) Ordered some tapas and decided to get a couple of the 'special dishes' at a slightly higher price expecting these dishes to be a bit tastier. However all the...More

    Lacking in Festivity.
