Food glorious food

From tasting international street food in Trinity Market, to casual dining in cafes and bistros down the bohemian Avenues or enjoying a selection of craft beers in the Old Town; Hull has everything you need when it comes to delicious drinking and dining experiences.
Our market towns are foodie destinations with Michelin starred haunts like the Pipe and Glass near Beverley and our food capital, Malton, which welcomes visitors from across the UK to experience the local markets and celebrate Yorkshire’s best produce and cooking.
With so many coastal locations, we can’t forget to mention the amazing seafood. Some of the world’s best crab and lobster is fished here, making it a real treat to buy and eat locally caught, fresh produce.
