The 10 Best Restaurants And Local Pubs To Try In Hull, Yorkshire
Historical Hull, East Yorkshire’s city by the sea, has been a cultural hotspot for years. Acclaimed poet Philip Larkin made the city his home, while accolades like UK City of Culture 2017 strengthen its cultural status. Events like ‘Yum! Festival of Food & Drink’ and a stellar dining scene have also helped put Hull on the map. Here’s our guide to Hull’s best restaurants for local flavour, global cuisine and gourmet fare.
1. Dock Street Kitchen
1884 Dock Street Kitchen
Located in a beautifully restored building overlooking the charming Hull Marina, 1884 Dock Street Kitchen has a modern British menu featuring quality seasonal ingredients sourced from local purveyors. The venue features a classy but comfortable interior full of luxurious furnishings, dark woods and industrial elements modelled on the restaurants of New York City’s meat-packing district. Changing menus concocted by local chef and owner James Allcock offer dishes like grilled North Sea cod with wild garlic risotto, Yorkshire chorizo and almonds.

The Hull Pie
The name says it all, though unlike your bog-standard meat encased in pastry, pies at The Hull Pie are delicious, gourmet and one of the local area’s most praised foodstuffs. Owner Matt was first inspired to set up shop after a BBQ pulled pork pie made for friends while working as a chef in Canada received rave reviews. Today, three outlets are dotted across Hull, including its flagship joint on Trinity Lane, each selling pies filled with tasty concoctions like caramelised beer and brisket or Jamaican jerk chicken and roasted pepper alongside a range of gourmet sausage rolls and carvery sandwiches.

His passion and skill for the cuisine is clear in dishes such as mee soto, a traditional Malayan clear soup, and ayam masak madu, or fried chicken with a light honey and soya sauce. Taman Ria Tropicana’s interior, designed by the chef’s wife and daughter, blends contemporary design with a touch of the Orient, completing the authentic dining experience.
