Visited Hull just over a year ago to visit this place after being told about it by a friend at uni in Hull. The place is basically a classic english pub, old school decor, friendly locals, a bit out of the way just off the city centre. The one difference is this local pub has a terrific walk in beer cellar with (I guess) around 150 different bottles of beer, mainly Belgian. Not rare stuff, but generally good stuff, also a several english cask ales and a few continental drafts, including when I was there some terrific Chouffe N’Ice on draft. A cracking pub, I wish it would relocate itself to Newcastle!

Visited on 25th January 2008. This is an excellent freehouse which has won CAMRA local awards in recent years. Six cask conditioned ales are usually available, mainly from local breweries. real ciders and perries are also available, and if that’s not enough then try any one of the range of over one hundred foreign bottled beers. The building is almost 150 years old. At the time of my visit, a smoking area was provided; smokers planning to go now should check if this facility remains open. I recommend the Wellington to anyone finding themselves in the city of Hull for any reason.
