About Apollo

Apollo is a pub on Holderness Rd on the outskirts of East Hull, with a bar area and a separate restaurant and conservatory area. Guests who avoid gluten have a dedicated gluten free menu, with GF burgers and a caramel cookie brownie dessert. The wider menu includes a mixed grill, which comes in a smaller size and a mega size. Food is brought to the table by the team, and drinks are ordered at the bar, which serves ales, lagers, wines, spirits and cocktails. Darts and pool give the bar area something to do beyond drinking, and multiple big screens show the big matches. The pub has been refurbished. Dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary

Diners most often praise the food, with the gluten free burgers and caramel cookie brownie dessert singled out by one family with coeliac children, who found the allergen handling reassuring. Close behind are the mega mixed grill, pulled pork and macaroni cheese, scampi and chips, the steak and ale pie, and excellent steaks, alongside a sandwich described as lovely. Several describe friendly, welcoming staff, with one server named for regular check-ins and for making a recently wheelchair-using diner feel at ease, and drinks that arrived quickly. The complaints centre on service and kitchen delays. One table of ten waited far longer for the last two meals, then was told of a further wait after asking twice. Another reviewer was disappointed by the presentation of a hunters chicken and had half-full drinks cleared with the plates. A bartender stepping outside while a customer waited, and no smaller mixed grill or tartare sauce with the scampi, also drew mentions. One reviewer's gluten free meal was happily served using a blue light card.

    “My mum and I came here for lunch today . We had scampi and chips and the steak and ale pie. The food was delicious. Service by Tia was exceptional. She was an absolute delight and an asset to The Apollo. My mum is recently wheelchair bound and was a little anxious about going out for lunch for the first time since her stroke , but the staff made her feel really welcome . Tia really added to her experience and I cannot thank her enough . Thanks again , we shall definitely be back . Xxx”

    “We had such a lovely time at Apollo Pub! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and relaxed. The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home throughout our visit. The food was delicious, with generous portions and great quality, and the drinks were served promptly. It’s the kind of place that’s perfect for catching up with friends, enjoying a family meal, or simply unwinding after a long day. A fantastic local pub with excellent service, great food, and a wonderful atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back and would happily recommend Apollo Pub to anyone looking for a great place to eat and drink!We had such a lovely time at Apollo Pub!

    “Been here a few times for food and it was good but we came in today after not being in for a while and we left very dissapointed after I spent almost 14 pounds on a hunters chicken and a pepsi and this is what arrived, I accept it was a very busy day for the pub but that does not excuse the presentation and effort put into this meal. Also the lady who delivered our food did not seem like she wanted to be there and had poor customer service skills (however she seemed young and inexperienced so I will excuse this) and then another lady came and took away our drinks with the food even though they were still half full. However, I will say the atmosphere of the pub was quite pleasant and everyone in there was very friendly and the bartenders were nice so overall it is good for coming in for a pint but the food and customer service was lacking. 3 stars.”
