About Vikings
On Western Rd in Goole, Vikings is a pub and restaurant that runs themed evenings spotlighting different global cuisines across its rotating menu, alongside a 20-dish lineup that includes the Steak and Ale Pie, carvery, and fish and chips. Ordering happens via an app or at the bar, and the space splits into two halls, one a family hall that closes at 21.30 and the other running karaoke, with arcade-type machines and TV screens showing football with background music. A quiz night runs regularly, and the walls carry local trivia and factoids. The step-free entrance suits visitors with mobility needs, and outdoor seating is available for those who prefer to eat outside. Free Wi-Fi covers the room, and free parking sits both front and back. It opens daily, and reservations are recommended, with pre-booking available for large groups and coach parties.

Customer Review Summary
Generous portion sizes and good value keep many diners coming back, with the carvery, the steak and ale pie, and a mixed grill of gammon steak, lamb kofta and burger singled out as satisfying choices. The pub's ability to handle large parties comes up repeatedly, from a coach group of forty five to a coachload of away football fans, both praised for smooth pre-ordering and friendly organisation. Several reviewers, though, describe food quality as inconsistent: one calls a roast turkey sub dry and underfilled after a forty five minute wait for it, another found the pigs in blankets overdone and the mash instant, and a further diner reports chips left to go cold before being plated. Service draws similarly mixed notes, ranging from friendly and efficient to slow even during quiet periods, with drinks sometimes arriving well after food orders. One reviewer, unhappy after an earlier visit's food, was later given a gift card that cut a family carvery bill from forty pounds to around twenty five.

“Service was slow considering it was not a particularly busy period. We ordered on the app and drinks took a fair while to arrive at the table. One of our party had forgotten to add their drinks order on the app so went to the bar and had nearly finished it before the rest of the drinks arrived. The food was ok, everything you'd expect from this type of establishment.”
- Adam K
“We had a wonderful dinner at Hungry Horse! The food was delicious and the service was absolutely lovely. A special shout-out to the manager – it’s clear she puts her whole heart into this place. You can really see her dedication in how well-run and tidy the pub is. Thank you for a great evening, we will definitely be back!"”
