The Head Of Steam Hull

We booked a table for Saturday tea time for 7 people, and the booking stated that one of the guests would be an 18 month old which would need a high chair. We went to the bar to tell them we were here for a booking and when we shown our table we were seated at one of the two high tables in the whole place. There was no high chair set at the table, so I asked for this and they brought the usual wooden pub highchair over, but if my daughter sat at this at the table her head would be under the table, how were we supposed to have a meal with her like this? We asked if we could be moved to a low table, which there was a large one to seat all 7 of us at where there was one man having a beer, and the next booking for that table was 2 hours later, so we would be gone before the next booking. The bar staff said that he couldn't ask the man to swap tables, unsure why, and the only solutions he had was for us to sit at a table for 4 (way too small and cramped for our party size) or for him to swap one of the high tables for a low table, so we opted for this. However, because the high tables were up against a bench seat it then meant that my husband had to be wedged in behind the table so that there was enough space for me to sit down and not be bumping in to the table behind me. It also meant that we couldn't really speak with the other members of our party as they were sat a good foot above us. Safe to say, I will not be recommending to any of my friends, especially ones with children, and we will look for an alternative next time we visit the area.

Friday afternoon and the pub was fairly busy and had a good atmosphere. Had several Battleaxe bitters, very tasty and a good pint of real beer. I was hungry so had a festive pizza, topped with chicken,stuffing, cranberry sauce it was lovely. Had some fries and onion rings too...massive portion of fries. Everything was tasty and beautifully cooked. The star there were all very friendly and made me feel very welcome. I thoroughly recommend this great pub in Hulls Old Town.

Head of Steam is usually quite a reliable spot for a good range of craft beer in a nice environment. This pub is nicely laid-out and does indeed have a reasonable selection of craft beer, which is positive. The beer seemed reasonably well-kept, but there were some negatives that impacted the enjoyment. Glassware. Glassware is important. Being served my not-inexpensive pint in a manky, worn-out glass that's at least five years old, has been through the dishwasher so many times the branding has scrubbed off, is the wrong type of glass for the beer and should have been retired before the COVID pandemic somewhat spoils the product. Price. If you're going to charge £7 for a pint that costs £5 elsewhere, you need to do it well. And it isn't done well. Probably resting on the brand a little bit too much at this branch. Could do with a full refresh of the ancient glassware (not one pint of the party of five was served in a decent glass) and a look at the pricing. We're not in London.

The best spot for food and a beer in Hull! Fantastic vibes. Great food. Lovely staff Happy days! I will continually come back here every time I visit.

We went for tea prior going to the theatre We were very disappointed when the chairs were ripped and filthy dirty!10 of us squashed round 3 little tables two people had to eat their meal on their knees! Food ok but not alot of it two people had the gyros and left half of it dry not dressing the sea food taco was a very small meal! The staff weren't that helpful we had to ask when our food was ready after sitting for half an hour!Not a great experience
