Excellent time at kids club tonight for an range of 4 - 11 years. The kids thoroughly enjoyed dancing, playing games and getting involved with the entertainment. We all ate the delicious basket meals which were served promptly and hot for an excellent price! Super efficient and friendly staff that couldn't do enough for us! Can't wait for the next Kidz Club evening!! ❤️

This establishment saved our Sunday. We (a family of 5), had originally been going to The Grange for a Sunday carvery, but due to their incompetence we had to find somewhere at very short notice.
So let's start with ease of parking on arrival. Parking is available right outside at the end of the building, charged at 80p and hour using a pay and display meter. Alternatively you can use the Mipermit App, location number is on the back of the machine, as it is on all pay and display meters we have used so far in Mablethorpe. If no spaces are available, there is parking literally on the opposite side of the road.
Access to the building is via an entrance facing the sea. This can be reached without using any steps from the carpark or by using steps directly from the roadside.
We were greeted as we entered the bar area and shown to our reserved table without any fuss.
Carvery and drinks are ordered from the bar, where you are given a ticket and politely asked to wait at your table until called forward for the carvery. I'm guessing this is to stop the queue for the carvery also blocking the entrance to the building. The wait was only about 5mins, probably less.
The food was perfect, meats cut professionally and very generous portions. Great flavour and a real taste of home cooked food.
The toilets are small but very very clean. The toilets in here are for customers use only, alternative public toilets are available in the car park area.
This is a truly genuine family orientated venue, and kindly remind customers of this with their polite signage in the bar and at the entrance.
In recognition of Blue Light services and the Military, holders of the Blue Light Card and the Defence Discount Card will get a 7.5% discount. When asked about the Veterens ID Card scheme, a definite yes was not confirmed but staff thought the owners may apply the discount the same as Defence Discount Card holders.
Dogs are welcome here, and bowls of fresh water are provided.
The Dunes Complex is recommended to everyone. A great place for food, atmosphere, live entertainment or just a refreshing drink. 5* well deserved. Thank you.- Wait time

The Dunes Complex is a fabulous family run pub, restaurant and all round community hub often with great entertainment especially outside during the summer months.
The staff are always friendly and happy to help, the beers are always good and well kept plus they're not expensive. The food is lovely there too and we can highly recommend the carvery.
The Dunes is always worth a pop in if you're thirsty or hungry on Mablethorpe beach ⛱️- Food

Popped in on the off chance, big thumbs up 👍 👍 we were able to take out dogs in. Thankyou.
We were going to have a carvery which looked absolutely lovely but seeing other people's plates thought maybe we didn't have enough room in our bellies 😀
Went instead for a big appetite all day breakfast and 3 toasted sandwiches which each came with salad and chips.
I would like to say that it was great value and cooked to perfection. The staff were great and did all they could to help with our requests. Would definitely recommend.- Price per person

Absolutely amazing meal and service from the Dunes. We had a table of 18 accommodated at the very last minute and we couldn’t be happier. Very good quality homemade Sunday lunch with the best service to go alongside it x

The Dunes continues to deliver great food, drink, entertainment and has a fantastic atmosphere. It also has THE best view on the east coast. Paddy, Debbie and their team strive to maintain very high quality in both service and standards. I have been going to The Dunes for over 10 years and can confirm that it is THE place to visit whenever you’re in Mablethorpe…. Summer or Winter.

Awesome experience here for our first time to mablethorpe, they had an outside dj the place was packed, the drinks are reasonably priced and the pizza was cooked to perfectly. Plenty of things to do, they have an outside eating and drinking area. They have what looks like a entertainment area, but unfortunately this wasn't open at the time of my visit, the staff are really friendly and polite and will assist you with your needs. I have heard from others that the Sunday carvery is excellent 👌. Can't verify this as I haven't had one.- Price per person
