Quick info
About SEBU
SEBU is a bar and grill in Hull at 60 Bond St, set on the top floor of one of the city's tallest buildings and reached by lift. The penthouse restaurant and rooftop cocktail bar serves Filipino food with fusion influences from Italy, the US and beyond. The kare kare comes with either belly pork or prawns, and the bar pours in-house cocktails. Windows look out over Hull, and the decor is brightly coloured, with floral decorations on the ceiling. Reservations are required, and window seats need booking well in advance. Street parking is nearby, and secure car parks such as Albion Street are a few minutes' walk away.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers come for the views over Hull and the Filipino-inspired food, with the kare kare, served with belly pork or prawns, called great and very tasty, and other dishes described as bold, rich and authentic. Cocktails draw repeated praise, and diners describe friendly staff and a lovely, relaxed atmosphere, including a very busy service that stayed good. The criticism centers on value and execution. One diner got four prawns or one thin piece of belly pork on the kare kare and called it poor value. Another found the portion-to-price ratio disappointing and did not prefer the lamb chops. The sesame prawn balls and mushroom bruschetta were called OK, with the bruschetta toast burnt. Others mention a long gap between courses, two rounds of drinks never reaching the bar, and an underdone steak that came back without the chunky chips swap that was requested. One reviewer notes a window seat needs booking well in advance, having booked only a day ahead and missed out.

“Saturday night so understandable somethings get forgotten, but two rounds of drinks where no delivered to the bar Food wise- I’ve been a few time and have always raved about the food, tonight though the portion to price ratio really made me shake my head *do not prefer the lamb chops*. Additionally under done steak had to be returned to the kitchen with a forgotten substitute (chunky chips for fries) when it returned, server was made aware but forgot to tell our host or the kitchen- soon shortly left after correcting it Don’t want to be a Karen but I don’t think I’ll be returning, which is a shame as I’ve really held this place in high regard”

“We have been wanting to eat here for a while so with it being my birthday last weekend we decided to have my birthday meal here. It’s on the top floor of one of the tallest buildings in Hull so it’s a lift to get there. It’s been beautifully decorated with brightly coloured areas and floral decorations on the ceiling. The tables are well spaced so feels relatively private whilst eating. Menu is fusion Philippines with influences from Italy, US and beyond. Many of the dishes could be prepared with different proteins which is good. We started with the sesame prawn balls and mushroom bruschetta which were OK rather than great. The toasted bread bruschetta had been burnt which gave the whole dish an unpleasant flavour (should have sent it back but then would have to wait for another one which wasn’t ideal). We both chose kare kare - me with belly pork and my wife prawns. The dish was great and very tasty. We thought the quantity of protein on the dish was poor value - 4 prawns and 1 piece of thin pork belly for £18 in total. Our waitress was nice and friendly but felt the service was slow - much too long a gap between the 2 courses. So overall it wasn’t the great meal we were hoping for.”

“Couldn’t fault it, great decor, service, drinks and food. Can’t wait to go back and very reasonably priced too for 5 meals and 5 cocktails, around 140.”

“My wife had been a few times and kept telling me I needed to go, so we made a last-minute booking. I was blown away! The service was excellent, the food was fantastic, and the views over Hull were great.We went at 4:30 pm, and the atmosphere was lovely and relaxed. We both really enjoyed our meals and will definitely be going back more”

“Fabulous views with some lip smacking food at Sebu. Staff is super friendly and service is quite prompt. The food recommendations were absolutely on point and their in house cocktails are a must try too! Had a lovely experience, would definitely recommend!”
