  “Wow, what a great back street pub this is. Great selection of real ale beers at a great price. Landlord was the most hospital host & will definitely return to this great old boozer.🍺”

  “Fantastic range of cask ales. In the Good Beer Guide 2026 for good reasons! Nice beer garden for sunny days. Live music some nights too.”

  “Great little pub and probably the best one named The Ship as there are a few in and around Hull. We were there to play darts on a Thursday and I have to say the food was the best we have had in two seasons. The chef (landlord?) went above and beyond for fellas used to takeaway pizza or slow cooker curry’s or chilli. We had the best doorstop sandwiches, home cooked chips, spring rolls, pizza, and a great selection of beers and ales. A top night in a top pub. Will definitely be back.”

  “Wonderful Friday evening meal of moules mariniere cooked in flavoursome cream, garlic and white wine just. Plenty of frite and pain et buerre. Very friendly pub both clientele and staff. Definitely recommend.”

  “The Ship Inn really is a smashing pub, everything about the place is marvellous; the owners, bar staff and regulars! We were really lucky to have the Ship Inn host our works summer BBQ this year and Dean, Neil, the team and their friends really did pull out all the stops to make it special. The food was unbelievable and the dangerously delicious frozen tequila cocktails were next level! Though the Ship may be little, she is mighty and whether you're looking for a place to party or an intimate gathering there's space aplenty... And room for a disco and karaoke! I would wholeheartedly recommend this lovely pub every single time and I'm absolutely certain there's nowhere else quite like it. Don't think about it, get it booked, you won't be disappointed!”

  “Without a doubt this has got to be by far the very best little back street pub in Hull now showing Sky Sports if not East Yorkshire & dont just take my word for it I'm sure many others will agree. Friendly customers, excellent staff Dean the owner who rustles up the most amazing food give that man a knighthood! Youv'e got to try steak night, last wednesday of the month best homemade onion rings on the planet. Fine handpulled ales - Real Ciders & nibbles what more do you need! Great beer garden”

  “Cracking pub this is you like proper ciders like I do, there were 6 on when I visited. Very friendly staff and customers. Its located on Hodgson Street which is a side street off New Cleveland Street and wouldn't expect to see a pub there as it surrounded by industrial businesses. It was a bitterly cold day when I visited so it was great to see they hade a lovely real fire burning. I have added a few 360 degree photos of the pub for Google Streetview so you have a look inside and in the beer garden. Well worth a visit if your in Hull.”
