About Old Grey Mare
Old Grey Mare is a pub with rooms on Cottingham Rd in Hull, with a restaurant and pub downstairs and guest rooms upstairs. The kitchen cooks over open flames and serves its Flaming Grill menu in the dining area. Ribeye steaks sit on it alongside a beef BBQ burger made with two beef patties, bacon and cheese, and there is steak pie and chips for a more traditional plate. Orders are placed through an app at the table. Hotel guests are served a full English breakfast. A pool table is set up for games, and the TVs carry Sky and TNT Sports. Tables can be booked, larger groups are taken, and a wait for a table is common at busy times. Fish fingers and lasagne round out the menu.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the service, with one server praised repeatedly for going above and beyond, including bringing children's meals out first, and a bartender described as helpful and knowledgeable. Pints arriving at the table quickly and a warm, lively atmosphere also come up. On food, diners name juicy ribeye steaks, the BOGOF burgers and a steak pie, and one calls the food great with reasonable prices. The complaints are specific. One party of 11 was told their confirmed booking could no longer be honoured, and four of their meals went back because everything came out black. Another reviewer also found a burger burnt, with frozen chips and onion rings, and nobody checked on the plates. A guest staying over described damp corridors, cracked wallpaper and a dirty breakfast room floor. A regular diner was handed a chipped cup and glasses they found unclean, though a server replaced the glass and offered to replace a lasagne. One server resolved a table problem quickly despite the tills playing up.

“We Often Visit The Old Grey Mare On Cottingham Road In Hull For Their Juicy Ribeye Steaks But Today We Tried The BOGOF Burgers And We're Not Disappointed! I Had The Beef BBQ With Two Thick Beef Patties With Bacon &Cheese. The Only Disappointing Part Is That It Was So Filling, I Had No Room For Desert. Our Bar Tender/Waitress, Katie Was Helpful, Knowledgeable And Nothing Was Too Much Trouble. Thanks Katie.”

“Arrived with confirmation of booking for 11 to be told they saw it but they can’t do it now. Was for an important family meal. Another party left because they had the same situation hours before so we coul have there table. Food came, 11 meals 4 went back. Chef must cook in a forger because everything came out black. 100% never again.”

“Pretty decent pub near uni. Appeared very family friendly as well at about 5:20pm on a Friday night. I have not eaten here in years so can't comment on the food, but I popped in for a drink on a very hot day recently as the bus would be a while ye and I needed to charge my phone. I asked the barman if he had any pale ales, he said no but that "the closest they had was a session IPA..." So I said I'd just have one of them then 🍺😅 nice atmosphere, pretty decent music playing. No complaints 👍🏼”

“Another great visit for us all!! Amazing service from Vicky today. Despite the fact the tills where playing up and also training up a new member of staff, she was on top of her game and made our visit that bit more special. Above and beyond service and we will be back again for sure! Thank you Vicky and team....now COME ON ENGLAND!!! HAHA”
