One of the standout venues on our recent trip to Hull. The lunch menu is great value for money and the food is lovely.

Great friendly place! ?️ Was lucky enough to get a table straight away. Ordered drinks and was told there was a 45 minutes wait for the food, which wasn't a problem. Ordered some cocktails while we were waiting, and they were fantastic and reasonably priced.Food came out in the stated time and was delicious ? Would recommend this place to everyone! #foodie #greatfood #goodtimes

Ate here after work and loved the welcoming lights in the window especially on a cold dreary evening. Had Tacos with fries and a pint of cider ..... Not many folk in at this time but the place had a very calming vibe to it.

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.
Really great place. Excellent Vegan options on the menu. It was nice to see that the beers were also labelled if they were Vegan which I haven’t seen before. Great service and very friendly staff.

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.

Didn't eat but food coming out of the kitchen looked spot on. Pizzas, burgers, tacos,wraps, gyros etc with lots of vegan options. Excellent selection of beers, both on draft and in the fridge. Had local brews alongside Belgian beers, IPA's, international lagers etc so something for everyone. Partner had a decent glass of wine too. Nice bar in a good location. Would recommend a visit.Vegetarian options: Seemed to be lots of vegetarian and vegan options on the menu.

Walked in unbooked and we were accommodated with no problems. Very polite and helpful staff. The bar and restaurant was very clean and tastefully decorated with quirky features, an excellent choice of beers and a fantastic menu which includes many vegan options. We opted for the bourbon burger and cheesesteak, side of onion rings - faultless with excellent quality ingredients, really nicely presented. The service was excellent from start to finish and the atmosphere was great.

Drinks were lovely great selection and customer service was good.Disappointed with the food ordered the triple stack burger for the price paid it didn't live up to expectations:portion size was small and the bun and chips tasted stale and the burgers were small and hiding in the bun.I'd recommend for drinks but with all the options the food does not stand out to be at the price point.
Excellent food, and dog
