December 2023. Hull. It had been a good night out in Hull, but I resisted the call of a fourth pub, saving the invitation to finally visit the Vauxhall Tavern for another day. One day… Just like the perfect hat-trick, this had been a classic pubber’s night out. Something Old – the George Something New… Continue reading “Something Old, Something New, Something Pre-emptive, Something to Chew”. Culinary Hull.

TOP 100 PUBS – THE SHIP INN, HULL
December 2023. Hull. It was Simon who alerted me to the presence of a new and must-visit pub in Hull earlier this year, and although I generally resist “pre-emptive tick tips” I’d spent £28.30, a weeks supply’s worth of Bombay mix, on the train and so I reckoned I ought to cross Sculcoates Bridge to… Continue reading TOP 100 PUBS – THE SHIP INN, HULL
HULL STREET ART SPECIAL
December 2023. Hull. £28.30 for the train to Hull (at least I had a seat and a charging point). But it was a great trip, not just for three classic pubs but some unexpected street art in the heart of the industrial quarter, which doesn’t yet have a name so I suggest we call it… Continue reading HULL STREET ART SPECIAL
ONE BEER IS ENOUGH PART 377. THE OLD BULL N BUSH, HULL.
December 2023. Hull. Only one new entry for Hull in GBG24; hardly worth the £28.30 train fare, is it (I know, I know, should have booked 6 months ago, or been a pensioner). But the Old Bull & Bush was worth the price, even without a bonus revisit and pre-emptive in this wonderful pub city.… Continue reading ONE BEER IS ENOUGH PART 377. THE OLD BULL N BUSH, HULL.
FROM THE LAND OF GREEN GINGER TO THE HEART OF INDUSTRIAL HULL
December 2023. Hull. Right, let’s tick Hull. 15 minutes from the George to the Old Bull & Bush, both proof you get a higher quality of pub name on the Humber. That 15 minute walk gets its own blog outing; it deserves it and my brain can’t cope with more than ten pictures on a… Continue reading FROM THE LAND OF GREEN GINGER TO THE HEART OF INDUSTRIAL HULL
LOOK THROUGH ANY WINDOW. THE GEORGE HOTEL, HULL.
December 2023. Hull. Just to prove I really was in Hull, rather than, I dunno, Theale or Leiston. A professional GBG ticker would have headed straight to the Guide newbie Old Bull & Bush, had a half, then swam around the Humber to Grimsby to do a tick in New Waltham. But I can do… Continue reading LOOK THROUGH ANY WINDOW. THE GEORGE HOTEL, HULL.
THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF GOOD BEER GUIDE TICKING – A WORKED EXAMPLE FROM HULL (20 MARKS)
The ultimate clickbait; a picture of a pub I haven’t actually been to yet. A week since my last tick, and I can’t even use the excuse of being in the Balkans again, just rotating between Waterbeach and Sheffield. Monday is a good time to travel; there’s a better than 5% chance your Northern train… Continue reading THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF GOOD BEER GUIDE TICKING – A WORKED EXAMPLE FROM HULL (20 MARKS)
WELCOME TO WITHERNSEA
April 2023. How many Britons could place Withernsea on a map ? Admit it. Even the “sea” isn’t a giveaway. Whittlesea is nowhere near the coast, nor is Waterbeach. No railway, a bumpy old ride east out from Hull, and no Wetherspoons when you get there. But they have sea, and chips, and ice cream… Continue reading WELCOME TO WITHERNSEA
TO HULL AND BACK AGAIN*
10th December 2022. A final post from a great day avoiding England v France (did we win ?) in Hull. Leaving Ye Olde White Harte before the “Kumbaya” singer started on “Agadoo“, I was delighted to stumble on this long thought lost engraving from the GBG Tickers AGM last week. The Old Town looked gorgeous,… Continue reading TO HULL AND BACK AGAIN*
A CELEBRATION OF NATIONAL LAGER DAY IN YE OLDE WHITE HARTE
10th December 2022. See how I squeeze five six posts out of a four pub trip to Hull. It’s very easy; Hull is astonishingly picturesque, the pubs remain busy enough (gearing up for England v France when we visited)and I can always drop in clickbait like National Lager Day. And yes, lager deserves its own… Continue reading A CELEBRATION OF NATIONAL LAGER DAY IN YE OLDE WHITE HARTE
