Customer Review Summary

Sunday roast is the most repeated draw, with one gluten free diner describing half a plate of roast meat alongside Yorkshire pudding, mash and roast potatoes. Reviewers also single out a homemade Chinese chicken curry, fish and chips and a mixed grill. Staff and the landlady are called friendly, and overnight guests describe very clean rooms. A family of eight reported good value on their Sunday lunch.

    “Gill and the staff are absolutely amazing here. The service and food is out of the world and I couldn’t recommend a better place to eat/drink. The food is some of the best food I’ve had and such a wide range of choices. Me and my family choose to eat here all the time whenever going out for food because there isn’t a better place for quality and quantity and great prices,thank you so much”

    “Some places become so much more than just a pub, and the Whittington & Cat is exactly that. It’s a place where memories are made, friendships grow, and everyone is made to feel like family. We’ve celebrated so many of life’s special moments there, including my 40th birthday, my husband’s 60th birthday and even my graduation. Some of our happiest memories with family and friends have been made within those walls, and there’s nowhere else we’d rather celebrate. From the moment you walk through the door, Gill and her incredible team make you feel genuinely welcome. Nothing is ever too much trouble, everyone is greeted with a smile, and there’s such a warm, relaxed atmosphere that I’d happily pop in on my own knowing I’d always feel comfortable. It’s that rare kind of place where everyone belongs. The food is simply outstanding. Everything is homemade, cooked with love and consistently delicious. Their Sunday dinners are absolutely elite – the best around – and the homemade Chinese chicken curry is legendary and always my first choice! There’s a fantastic selection of food and drinks, all at very reasonable prices, making every visit exceptional value. The Whittington & Cat is located near the beautiful Hull Marina steeped in history and packed with charm and character, and if you’re staying over, the boutique rooms are absolutely beautiful and finished to a very high standard. In a time when so many pubs have lost their heart, the Whittington & Cat has everything a traditional British pub should have – warmth, laughter, kindness, outstanding food and wonderful people. I’m incredibly proud to have it on our doorstep, and I genuinely couldn’t recommend it more highly. Whether you’re visiting Hull or you’re lucky enough to live nearby, make sure you experience the Whittington & Cat for yourself. I promise you’ll leave with a full stomach, a smile on your face, and you’ll already be planning your next visit.”
