One of the better Wetherspoons I've been to, and also one of the better pubs in Skegness. It is located just across the train station, so it's ideal for a dinner or final drink before you're leaving - and it's also superior to The Lumley right across the street.

The décor is appealing (all dark wood), eschewing the familiar Spoon colours. ;)

Food options (... clubs, etc) are the same as in every other spoon, and there's a healthy selection of real ales at even healthier prices (UKP 1.99 for most, cheapest real ale in the area).

Outside seating is provided at the front, but of course the road crossing at the station is rather busy indeed.

Second visit: The Red Lion is one of two (Count 'em: 2!) Cask Marque pubs in all of Skegness, which should give you a hint that it is not a real-ale town. There is a not a single really good pub in this place, and - on paper - The Red Lion, which you'll find diagonally across from the train station, should be your best option. And it normally is: It's a Spoon, and the Spoons are normally considered a solid option for real-ale lovers. Not in this case. The pint I had had gone bad, oxidized. That really shouldn't happen: Obviously, the cask had been kept for too long (normally, a cask has to be finished within 3 days, or else you'll run a risk that the beer goes bad). Bummer!
