The ultimate food & drink guide to Hull Marina

Besides being an important cultural site for our city, Hull Marina is full of alluring and interesting maritime history, and also full of brilliant places to eat and drink.

The small yet notable area possesses a rich culinary diversity, ranging from comfortable pubs perfect for a pint to artisan bakeries full of rustic charm. Hull Marina is capable of offering something to everyone. With its quaint cobbled streets and impressive views, the Marina is amongst Hull’s finest places to eat, drink, or simply explore.

Having spent some time at the Marina indirectly surveying all it has to offer, here is a guide of the places I recommend you visit on your next trip to Hull Marina…

Cuban Pete’s

18 Humber St, Hull, HU1 1TH

A recent addition to Humber Street serving up a selection of Mexican and Cuban street food-inspired dishes, Cuban Pete’s is a colourful culinary hotspot that also specialises in classic and bespoke cocktails, along with an extensive selection of rum, Tequila, beers and wine.

With a massive amount of seating along with comfy booths and a unique interior, it’s a great place to stop for anything from a hearty meal to an evening drink.

Next Door @ The Dock by Nibble

 Queen St, Hull, HU1 1UU

Next Door by Nibble opened in late 2021 on the ground floor of the C4DI building, with the aim of providing takeaway breakfast, lunch and beverage options for workers who have limited time to spare.

They’re focused on breakfast, brunch, lunch and different homemade specials every day. Last we checked, there’s no seating inside, but occasionally tables are in place outside if the weather permits – but at the end of the day the idea is to pop in and out between work, appointments, or meetings. There’s no more ideal place to visit if you’re in a rush and need a bite to get you through the day.

Flour and Feast

10 Humber St, Hull, HU1 1TG

Nestled comfortably down the Marina’s ever-bustling Humber Street, Flour and Feast is a charming rustic bakery that offers everything from tasty sandwiches and sausage rolls to doughnuts and cakes, all of which are made in-store using local ingredients. In addition to producing tasty food (of which I highly recommend the Broccoli Banh Mi), the bakery also offers a variety of coffees and other hot drinks, a perfect accompaniment to any choice of snack. Limited indoor seating is now readily available, although takeaway orders also prove equally popular.
