Hello,
I live in Belgium and I'm going on a mini cruise from Zeebrugge to Hull to celebrate my birthday next month.My wife and two teenagers will join me. We'll only be in Hull for 1 day and there'll be plenty of food on the ferry. I know some people from Hull are forum members. Can anyone suggest a pub in the town centre to have something to eat during the day?

Can't remember when I last sat down for a meal in Hull city centre - these days, the foodie district is a short bus ride away on Princess Avenue. However, if you want a proper old English pub atmosphere, you could hit the Old Town and try the Black Boy on High Street or the White Harte on Silver Street.

Here's the Harte being featured on a ghostie programme:

And the Black Boy is a ghostie pub, too. :)

Have fun! :D

EDIT: PS: And yes, people, those are Hull accents!

So who cares Kewpie you are such a bore.I must have a short memory.
Many thanks to the cat's mother for the info.

Thanks for your compliment.

You're such a polite charming man.

I've got a short memory, too; I knew I'd been asked about Hull before, but hadn't recalled who had asked me. Is this your second trip, then, or did the first one not come off?

PS: There's a good deli called Herbie's in the Carr Lane foyer of the Princes Key shopping centre. If it's good weather, grab a nice fat sarnie from there and eat it in Victora Square (on the steps of the statute, beneath which are some very beautiful public toilets, should nature call), or amongst the fishponds and wacky sculptures in Queens Gardens, beneath the gaze of William Wilberforce.... or you can even sit on the excavated foundations of the old city walls. Ferens art gallery used to have a decent caff but I don't know what it's like these days.

Oh, and beware the alarmingly huge public television set. WTF? Who on earth thought that was a good idea? :mad:

I love the way you've refered it as a "caff" great!

There is some really nice places to dine in Hull, Hitchcocks vegetarian resturant in the old town is nice, The Lamp also near Beverley Road is a nice quiet pub which sells really good quality food.

Is Cave Street chippy still good? I mean, once you've walked as far as the Lamp, you might as well have haddock or patty and chips and a bag of scraps and eat it in Pearsons Park. :D

La Perla is good as well.

I moved out into the sticks in the late 80s and wouldn't want to live in a city now - mind you, I was living on Folkestone St so....:D I definitely appreciate the place more as a visitor than I did as a resident. And the place has improved a lot since then.

We used to do Pier Luigis quite a lot but I understand that's gone down the pan a bit. Cosa Nostra on Bev Rd were the yummiest pizzas ever! :horny:

Well I live in Hedon, but I commute to town pretty much every weekday for college, Ah the ol' 77/76 bus!

I know what you mean about coming back to Hull when you've not been there for a while, I went to France this year and when I came back I really missed it, just seeing stuff like the Smith and Nephew factory and the Clarence Flour Mills just little things you don't see anywhere else.

There is also a great little pizza place as well on the italian stall in Hepworth Arcade, down on Whitefriargate, the fella who works there as well is a right laugh.

Thanks for all the info people. I did make it last time I asked for similar information. We 're going again cause we enjoy the mini cruise and Hull has plenty of shops to spend the day.

It's great in Hull. I got potted orchids for £2 each at the knock-off fruit and veg stall on Holderness Road. The ladies who work in Boyes were wearing witch costumes and getting all animated about the sleet. And a scary-looking tattoed-skulled skinhead opened the door for me on the way out of the shop. :)

Hull has the loveliest places to pee you have ever seen. In the summer, these beauteous bogs are festooned, indoors and out, with hanging baskets of flowers.

Gentlemen who would rather not pee from beneath Victoria's throne, can go and do their business beneath King Billy instead. There's a joke about Golden Showers in there but I'd best leave that be.

Yes I've been thinking of taking some nice pictures of Hull, showing the grit of the city like The Clarence Flour Mills and British Extracting Company along with parts of the old town...

Hull really is lovely. I'm not being sarcastic!

Oh no - they used to wrestle in the City Hall, in a ring set up amongst all those classical statues and that fat red carpeting. At least it didn't show the blood. :rolleyes:

That lot in Salford were just copying Hull. ;)

History time: Hull invented William Wilberforce who led the fight for abolition of slavery. And we liked him so much we stuck his statue on a giant column, with a lovely view over the Victoria Square toilets. Then in the 1930's he was getting in the way of the trams, so they stuck him down the bottom of the QG, from where he can peer into the police station and bored students on the upper floors of the 'tech can stare at the back of his head.

Note: I once waded, drunk, in the pond in front of the column. :o

History Lesson 2: Hull also invented Mick Ronson, whose appearance one night on the front page of the Hull Daily Mail, elicited from my mother the response: "Oh, what a terribly common-looking girl!"

The Mick Ronson Memorial Stage in Queen's Gardens is a rather unfortunate affair; a bit of hard standing in front of the tacky 1960's refreshments kiosk, some poles and sometimes a tarpaulin. The Hull planners really must have had a "Crap Town" moment when they had that idea. What's wrong with a column or a nice public loo to honour you, eh?

Hull really is lovely. I'm not being sarcastic!

Me either, it seems really nice. :)

Let's not forget Deano! Hull's most famous lad of late is Dean Windass, he scored the legendary goal in the play off final at Wembley this year, it put Hull City in the best football league in the world for the very first time. Hull City are currently 6th in the premier league and making all of the so-called experts look like the bunch of twats they are!

Barking, if you're tuned in to the jowly joys of Two-Jags, you can't fail to want to chase sticks with his animated doppelganger, the Churchill Insurance dog. "Oh, yes!"
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/eatenbyweasels/misc/dog.jpg

I don't know if Amy had been on the sauce when she came a cropper over the Serpentine, but she was said to be carrying a mystery passenger (body never recovered) at the time.

Now, time for a peek into the seedier side of our fair city. Here we are at the Earl de Grey, a stone's throw from where we'll be queueing up to see the Mozzer in May. This innocuous-looking drinking-hole, a listed building with beautiful green tile-work, was for two centuries Hull's most notorious red-light pub. It had two famously talkative parrots, one of whom was deliberately murdered to stop it spilling the beans on a robbery! I only went in there once and ended up in the loo calming a prostitute who had accidentally trodden on a punter's dog's tail and been bitten for her trouble.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/eatenbyweasels/misc/earldegr.jpg

Alas, the Earl is now boarded-up and faces an uncertain future. As do the hookers who have been cleared off the nearby streets in the name of retail development.

Really I don't like it when they disrespect old pubs. I have a mate in Manchester who hates that as well. I think people should ask Morrissey to donate money. Not necessarily to the hookers directly, more like, to an association that preserves them. (the pubs).

Bring a chip fork, a bow-legged terrier and be prepared for friendly bus drivers and chatty shopgirls, species which I have rarely encountered south of Peterborough. No cloth caps east of the Pennines, please - they are soooooo Lancashire!

You'd be popular in that particular toilet, then.

We went to find the tiger pub, couldn't so settled for a bag of cans whilst sat on a grass verge near some 'eye' hozzy and a medical centre.

You were on the right road, but the Tiger Inn is further up Anlaby Rd towards the city centre, close to the old Tower nightclub and the back of the station.

Well, the hookers had to go somewhere after they were chased off Commercial corner....

In the offy next to a chippy buying orangeboom, 8.5%. One of them was black and blue. Trying their hardest to convince us it was her husband who done it:rolleyes:

See? You're in a queue in an offy and a hooker starts chatting to you, a complete stranger, about her hubby and her bruises. It's that friendly, is Hull!

They love it don't they?:lbf:

Well, a girl needs a nice chat and an orangeboom in between bestowing knee-tremblers on unwashed hostel residents in shop doorways..... maybe this isn't the aspect of Hull I was trying to promote. Anyone else been to The Deep yet?

I think I found out what No Place Like Rome really got up to on his jaunt to Hull....

:horny: Right. That video has convinced me. Let me just check that they sell Unicorn Droppings on the Hull Express and I'm off to that King's Cross hard-to-find platform!!:guitar:

No, I meant swish. And I never said pizza! I said Prezza! :lbf:

You meant Swiss, and you said Pizza. (Look it's not my fault if you have an accent)

"unwashed"? And how do you know? Haah! Busted.:D

Hmmm. Humanity is threatened by a horrible pandemy, and yet, this thread goes round and round prostitutes and toilets, as if nothing was more important, in Hull.

What's the Deep? A club? A pub? An area? A famous loo? Go on, promote it then, while we're still alive. :cool:

take the short trip to brid if you have time, the boulevards white with clover anyway now.

i heard Hull is a horrible place to live, is this true? :eek:
no offense meant, thats just what some people told me :o
i think one was even from there :straightface:

It got voted the "crappiest" town in the uk, so make your own mind up Rob:thumb:

Hull has the same problems of most northern English towns; unemployment, deprivation, drugs and sink hole estates, etc. That silly little "Crap Towns" book that cemented the town's "crap" reputation also pointed out that Hull also scored top of the "friendliest town" league, but people conveniently forget that.

but does it have a cake named after it? :rolleyes::lbf::o

No, but it has an effing HUGE cake factory.

If you wash after touching unicorn droppings, you lose the magic, so the chaps from the hostel who are dragooned into selling the stuff don't get a shower before heading off to spend their meagre wages on bruised hookers outside Hull Royal Infirmary. See? It all makes sense. Although if swine flu is transmissible via unicorn poo Hull's already in the magical shite anyway...

The Deep is the world's first submarium. It's HUGE and it's got ruddy great sharks in it. It has its own loos which were quite nice when I visited. I didn't see any prostitutes there, though. A no-ho area, maybe.

Just booked Hull Marina Holiday Inn looks like it's right next door to arena great spot.looking forward to it, was driving back to bolton, but staying over makes it more of an event. Anyone else staying here? we'll get some practice in in the bar .

Anyone?

It's Hull Fair week. When you can get stabbed, robbed and your fortune told without ever leaving Walton Street. And you can see the lights from the rides projecting onto the clouds from my house out in the villages. :)

Have you decided the name of your new bantum?

Not yet. Something will occur to me. He has a rather high-pitched crow, so he could be a Demis or an Aled. Or maybe he should have a girlie name seeing as the hens are Steve and Arnie. :D
