Muy parecido a todos los pubs en el casco antiguo, gran ambiente todo un pozo peculiar con una sensación de moda antigua encantadora. Buena cerveza y gran personal. Fretwells tiene una bonita zona de estar al aire libre con calentadores en la parte trasera en un pequeño patio. Silla de barberos de moda fresca en la zona de estar. Si estás en el casco antiguo recomendaría una visita

Servicio absolutamente basura camarera no intrested. Falta de elección de cervezas. Traté de diferentes ales pálidos ambos horribles como si la cerveza había estado en las tuberías durante mucho tiempo. Muy horrible. No volveré a visitar el pub. Basura

Great place for a beer or five, good range of real ales. For those who want lager or cider there is bottle verity. Staff are friendly and make you feel welcome. No food is served here, just snacks. There is a small games room where you can unwind and have abit of fun.

Although the building was previously a printers, it is very convincing as an "old" pub. They have a nice range of beers, all served well. A separate games room has plenty of arcade games, but also a good value bar billiards table.

Fretwells only been open for a couple of years in the former Printworks of the same name. The owner has done a fantastic job of making a new pub look at though it's 200 years old. This is a proper three room pub like pubs used to be. A nice spacious bar with views over scale Lane and High Street. Separate Lounge and an excellent separate games room, with five pinball machines, a table football games and a rare 1920's bar billiards table, with a qr code so you can keep score with an app on your phone, And an Internet jukebox in the games room. Excellent often changing good choice of cask conditioned ales and other beers including a very nice elderflower larger, very Friendly staff. Not dog friendly. Outside seating area in the courtyard. Pensioners, take your bus pass, and you will get a discount on your beer. Highly recommended. Check opening times.

We only came in here as the historic pub close by didn't open until 6pm for some reason. So glad we did as lovely service, great beers and nice atmosphere. Lots of couples in here and women having after work drinks which is always a sign of a classy place. Gents will find the toilets entertaining with goals in the urinals and great anti golf poster... Got a super pinball room if that's your thing. No food but few yards away is the Lion and Key with same owners which is just is great too and does pub food. We will 100% come back to both

After waiting at the bar for over ten minutes to be told I had to wait my turn despite three other people who turned up after me and were served before me the bar staff decided I was being rude refused to serve me and asked me to leave the bar. I simply commented that I had been waiting a while and other people were being served before me when it was perfectly clear I had been there for some time. The attitude of the bar staff was appalling clearly don't know what they're doing and tbh I will never visit the pub again

Apparently this pub has been open for four years First time I have noticed it though a bit tucked away at the end of Scale Lane It’s friendly and it’s decorated as if it’s an old pub that’s been there ages. Anyway I visited with a friend (we are both retired) and we stayed and had a few beers and there was a decent choice of real ales. Also as a bonus if you are over 65 ….which we both are 😆 You get a 20% discount which I have never seen at any pub before We will visit again for sure…👍

Popped into Fretwells for pre-dinner drinks a couple of weeks ago, during a one night stopover in Hull. Lovely place - until we started chatting to the owner who was unbelievably rude. He was determined to be confrontational about Covid conspiracy issues and would not let go. We left as soon as it was politic to do so. Embarrassing.

This pub is beautiful to look at, cosy and serves lovely drinks. It is, however anti-vax and misogynistic. There are QR codes taking you to conspiracy websites about COVID on the walls and the toilets are decorated with "humorous" misogyny. What a shame for such a lovely place. Will never be back.

A very nice and welcoming pub with a great atmosphere. The staff is fantastic and will gladly have a chat with you while you're having a few pints. The quality of the drinks is always great and the range varies from nice light hoppy beers to darker stouts with a wide pallet of a myriad of chocolate and almost coffee like notes. Overall a great pub for a classic British pub experience; however if you're looking for something more modern and youthful it might not be a place for you.
