Quick info
About The Hop Pole Hotel
On Kingston Rd in Hull, The Hop Pole Hotel is a bar and grill split into a separate restaurant area and bar area, keeping dining apart from the sports-watching side. The kitchen runs as a Sizzling pub, with skillets and burgers on the menu and food orders cut off in the evening. Drinks span a wide range of beers, lagers and ciders, including cask conditioned real ale. A function room at the back hosts parties, with catering and live entertainment laid on for the night. Live music plays at weekends, and a DJ takes over on Saturday nights, while multiple TVs around the bar cover sport. The pub opens daily and takes walk-ins, with an outside seating area and a car park available.

“Great atmosphere. Regularly visit here at a weekend. Highly recommend this sizzling pub for some excellent quality food and good live music. Staff are so lovely and super friendly too”

“We recently held a 60th birthday party in the back function room at The Hop Pole Hotel, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish! The function room was the ideal size for our celebration, with plenty of tables and chairs for all of our guests, creating a brilliant atmosphere without ever feeling cramped. The team took care of all the catering, and the food was outstanding. Every dish was fresh, plentiful and delicious, and so many of our guests commented on how amazing it was. To top it all off, there was a live act performing on the night who was fantastic and had everyone entertained, making an already special evening even more memorable. What really made the night stand out, though, was the incredible staff. Every member of the team was warm, friendly, attentive and genuinely couldn’t do enough for us. Nothing was too much trouble, and they made sure everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. If you’re looking for a venue for a party or special occasion, we honestly couldn’t recommend The Hop Pole Hotel highly enough. They helped create a night we’ll never forget, and we’ll definitely be returning. A huge thank you to everyone involved for making it such a fantastic celebration!”

“We have just returned from a meal in Hop Pole (for the second time this weekend) with family. The food is always brilliant and the staff go above and beyond every time. We have two young children and Toyah, the assistant manager always goes out of her way to speak to them, as well as us, every time we go in. We love how welcoming they are for families and the atmosphere is always great. Thank you to Toyah, Laura and Liv for 10/10 customer service as usual today.”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the food at this sizzling pub, calling it tasty, fresh and plentiful, with a menu one diner found different to other local pubs. Close behind is the staff, described as friendly, welcoming and hard working, with one family noting how the assistant manager speaks to their young children each visit. Live music and a DJ at the weekend also come up, along with a good atmosphere, a wide choice of beers including cask conditioned real ale, and a function room that suited a 60th birthday party with catering and a live act. The main caveats concern timing and space. One reviewer was told at 7.40 on a Saturday that food orders had to be in by 7.45, and later that under 18s could not stay beyond 9.30, wishing they had known when booking. That reviewer also found one staff member abrupt. Another says the pub's size can make it hard to fit the crowds drawn by live entertainment, though the split between restaurant and bar keeps meals calm during a big game.
