While you are here you are going to find a surprising city, full of character, maritime heritage and a warm welcome. We want you to have a great visit to the city so here are some tips about making the most of your visit.
Food & Drink
You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to food and drink. From cosy pubs to global flavours, the city centre and Old Town offer something to suit every taste and vibe. Grab a pre-show pint at iconic local spots like The Lion and Key, Robins & Keller, or Ye Olde White Harte, or sip something craftier at BrewDog or the atmospheric Sailmakers Arms. For something stylish and contemporary, try the sleek surroundings of One Steakhouse or the riverside setting of the Minerva — ideal for sunset drinks before the music begins.
When it comes to food, Hull has your cravings covered. Tuck into bold Asian flavours at Oishii Ne or for lunch, sample plant-based favourites from Falafia in Trinity Market (the mecca for streetfood). Sharing plates and sangria more your thing? Head to Ambiente Tapas for a taste of Spain on the Marina. You can enjoy wood-fired pizza and creamy gelato at Bert’s or classic British pub fare at McCoys, also along the dock side you will find Furleys and Co, serving great beers and a great selection of small (and not so small) plates. Whether you fancy dessert first at Heavenly Desserts or a late-night bite from The Smoke Room, Hull’s food scene delivers — just like the band you came to see.
