Poplar Farm - East Lindsey

We first visited in 2016 when it was a new venture for a family running it with their in laws. We had a good time and said we 'd be back. Stayed 4 nights this time on a fully serviced pitch. There 's about 40 pitches all fully serviced and around 10 tent pitches, all pretty immaculately turned out. There were quite a lot of unoccupied with seasonal pitches complimented by a block of 'wet rooms '. These were quite new in appearance and very well maintained. The rooms had a push button type shower with toilet and wash hand basin. The rooms were heated which is a welcome feature on chilly mornings. One slightly unfortunate experience totally orchestrated by us was the need for some jump leads and a start. I 'd been confirming a blown taillight on the van while my wife was booking in and as she returned I 'd basically forgot to turn off the vehicle lights. Consequently following our setting up session the car wouldn 't start. We rang the office to enquire if they may be able to help us and a teenage member of staff arranged leads and a vehicle to jump start car. The car was another young chap 's own motor and had been volunteered by his colleague to help us. This was over and above what they are supposed to do and we set to work with good humour and a polite conscientious attitude from the 2 lads (we donated our booking deposit to them to say thanks) The site was quiet and drama free, the guys earlier told us about the Golf Club and the dog walk. If you turn right out of the site walk up the road approx 20 metres and cross the road there is a metal gate with pedestrian access. There is a path over to the Golf Club 's Clubhouse whose bar is open to the public. We took the dog every day and the bar meals were ok too. Only one thing slightly clouded the break and that was that the restaurant and bar on the site was not a going concern any more. Back on our first visit it was open, very convenient with a cosy bar and good pub grub. The site information on line indicated that it was shut Mon Tues but we could live with that. The site appears to be ran by Coastfields Leisure Ltd which also runs the Golf and Country Club. We asked the staff as to when it may open again, they are advertising for someone to take it on. It looks really good I suspect someone, maybe staff, are living in it. We would recommend the site, good staff and facilities and 10 mins drive to beach.

I have been at this restaurant for 4 years in a great location. There was a change in ownership at the end of 2022. I won't even finish out this season, I am leaving. This restaurant is not for me!

Meticulously maintained, managed and manicured site by Doe and Steve who have taken help and support beyond expectations and to Olympic levels. An absolute credit to Poplar Farm. What a fantastic team. Peter and Jenny.

We decided to try out this restaurant for Sunday lunch, specifically because their website menu had indicated they had good options for vegetarians. However, upon arrival, we discovered that the website had not been updated since new management took over, and all traces of sophistication were gone. We were not greeted, given a menu, or offered any choice for starters or desserts. The vegetarian in our group ended up settling for a Sunday Roast without the roast. The food, when it finally arrived, was below average even for a basic canteen meal, with limp vegetables and bland meat slices smothered in gravy. The roast potatoes were particularly disappointing, lacking any hint of crispiness, with only two halves served per portion. The waiter wisely refrained from returning to inquire about our satisfaction with the meal or if we wanted more drinks. On a positive note, we were allowed to bring our dog inside.

Four of us went for Sunday Lunch today, all food was hot well cooked, excellent value for money. A lovely restaurant, friendly staff, looking forward to going for an evening meal. Highly recommended.
