Hearth Restaurant and Bakery in Kingston upon Hull, City of

I had wanted to try Hearth restaurant for ages, we have been to the bakery a few times and have loved it. A rare child free night gave us the perfect opportunity so we booked a table. From the moment we arrived everything was amazing. The friendly, knowledgeable staff helped me narrow down my choices because I wanted one of everything! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was relaxed and you don't feel hemmed in like you can in some restaurants. We enjoyed it so much I brought my mum a couple of weeks later for her birthday and she loved it as well. Please keep doing what you are doing everyone at Hearth.

had a cheeky coffee and a breakfast and it was lovely! would definitely come in again.

Fantastic food, great service. Only thing which I am adding here for feedback only is the door to the upstairs let in a bit of a cold breeze so would be good to have something stopping that. Still an overall great experience, good staff knowledge of menu. Very tasty food, easily one of the best restaurants in Hull.

Lovely Sunday lunch, the roast beef was cooked to perfection. Really accommodating with 2 children also. Food, service and ambience were all fantastic.

Lovely Sunday lunch, reasonable vegetarian options. Great atmosphere and staff are really friendly. Service is slightly slow, but everything is cooked fresh to order and is so tasty that this isn't an issue. Unfortunately we were too full for dessert today but the options looked incredible

Over rated and over priced, however even worse is the service. If this is supposed to be the best restaurant in Hull then I will not be back for sure.

Thoroughly disappointed with the entire experience. Despite the extensive and expensive menu, when I asked what they could offer for my 6-year-old, I was bluntly told, “It’s the menu.” Left with no choice, I ordered the ribeye steak for him, which was the only item he might eat. Surprisingly, they didn’t even ask how he would like it cooked. Our drinks, which we ordered upon sitting down, didn’t arrive until after the starters were served. To make matters worse, my starter never arrived. After waiting 15 minutes and being told it would take another 5 minutes, I decided to cancel it. The rest of the table had to begin eating without me. We asked for ice for our drinks four times and eventually had to go downstairs to the bar ourselves to get it. After finishing the starters, we waited another hour for our main courses. I asked if my son’s steak could at least be brought out since he’d been sitting there for two hours by that point. They finally brought out what appeared to be a 6oz steak on a tea plate with no sides or even a garnish—and charged £34 for it. We arrived at 7:30 pm, and by 9:30 pm, I still hadn’t received any food. Frustrated, I canceled my order and left. I’ve never experienced such poor service from a team that clearly didn’t care about their customers. I do not recommend this restaurant and will not be returning.

This place is so awesome perfect food and service the staff are all so friendly and helpful the food is some of the best I have ever had

Incredible Sunday dinner. Service was immaculate. Pre warning you, it is a bit more expensive than most, however it is worth every penny. It is also dog friendly. Highly recommended the beef.

We had Sunday lunch there this weekend, the food was fantastic, the best steak tartar I've tasted. The main courses were well cooked well presented and tasted delicious. A pleasant ambience, and lovely staff. We will be back.

Visited on a Saturday morning. we sat outside as the weather was fine, and the square had a nice European feel to it. Had to go inside to purchase food and drinks. Waitress delivered it to our table outside and was very polite. The coffee was the best we experienced in Hull, and the food was lovely. My wife had a cheese on toast, and I had the BLT. Nice place to visit in Hull.

Absolutely unbelievable food & service. We came for a work evening meal, and it did not disappoint. Everything was cooked to perfection and the service by Ian was 10/10! Our table was constantly kept immaculate between plates & drinks. Would definitely recommend the duck, it was to die for!!

Very tasty food. A few niggles re service and set up. I'm not a fan of the evening menu organization into small and large sharing plates. Fine if you are in a big group but not great for a couple. Waiter advised that we would need at least two/three of each for two adults plus sides. I did think they all sounded pretty hearty but heeded his advice. Far too much food to offer. For example one of the starters, chicken liver parfait, was enormous and came with four full size slices of sourdough bread. Obviously I'm not complaining that the portions are generous. However the amount of food we ended up with due to waiter's advice was far too much and we ended up leaving food. It did feel as though the menu and waiter's advice was designed to upsell. I also felt that the quality of the service in general was not up to the standard of a high end restaurant. We were left at the entrance for quite a while, I'm assuming whilst our table was readied. No offer of taking a drinks order despite standing next to the bar and no explanation. The toilets were also in a state if disarray. These are small details but, for me, are the things that are important at the price point of this place. If they are aiming for a Michelin star (which I feel the food is up to) these things need addressing.

Thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast here! The food and the pastries were absolutely amazing, we all loved our food. The atmosphere of the cafe is lovely as well and is situated on a cute square. Definitely worth a visit!

great atmosphere for an evening dinner, lovely food and a very diverse menu, great service, thank you!

Nicely furnished and decorated, coffee and cakes quite good, but the service was incredibly slow the morning I visited. People were waiting 20 minutes for coffee, which seemed to have put everyone — staff and customers — in a bad mood.

Fantastic atmosphere and ideal for a quick breakfast treat! The Turkish eggs and dirty chai are out of this world!

Disappointed that both my almond croissant and my daughter's bacon bap were 'overbaked'.

I can say that some of the food my wife and I had during our first visit to Hearth was excellent. The smaller plates especially with the salmon gnocchi a particular favourite. The welcome was nice, and all the staff were very pleasant. I really wanted to love the place, but a few issues meant I have had to leave a 'lower' four-star review. Three stars seemed a little harsh, but it couldn't be five. As mentioned, most of the food was excellent, however one of our large plates was a little underwhelming, the lamb which we felt wasn't as tasty as we would have hoped. I appreciate this is personal taste and some may love it. One issue we had was a few requests not being actioned. We asked for more water for the table when our large plates came out, the waitress was very polite and said she would sort that but never came back with the water. We asked for the bill from the same waitress as she cleared our table, this also unfortunately did not arrive, and we had to ask someone else. The main issue we had though was just how noisy it got. It was a Saturday night, and by the time we left the restaurant was full. However, two parties of eight meant the noise levels got to the point that we struggled to hear each other in the end. There was one group in particular who really should have been asked to keep the noise down as they were basically shouting at each other. The last problem was the floor being a little uneven with a slight slope (an old building so fair enough) but because of this our table sloped slightly sideways. Not a problem during the meal (we found it quite funny, and it caused no real issues). However, when my wife stood up and leant on the table it tipped slightly sideways and an empty bottle and cooler fell off the table which was a little embarrassing, especially as the noising group mentioned above thought it was the right place and time to cheer. They should maybe save that sort of behaviour for their, no doubt frequent visits to Wetherspoons! We will visit Hearth again I think but probably not on a Saturday night and will ask for a level table next time.

Cafe opposite the Minster/church so makes a lovely breakfast on Sunday hearing the bells 🔔 Food is tasty, coffee is nice too. Attentive and friendly staff.

Their dinner menu is on another level but didn’t expect breakfast to be up there too! Absolutely delicious.

Very tasty food. Service is hit and miss

Breakfast outside in the sun nice friendly staff and lovely food.

Incredible food. Can't wait to go back

Fantastic place! Delicious food, I had avocado and egg toast and lovely coffee! My son enjoyed his sausage, hash brown, bacon english muffin and our friend had a lovely caramelised onion toast and latte! Beautiful food, lovely service and a well equipped bathroom for busy mums, that have their mind occupied with children and often forget about their own needs😅!! 😅🤣👌 Thank you!👌🥰

Cute little cafe with freshly baked goods and lovely staff. I had a fried egg with avocado on their sourdough with a mocha. It was lovely - a slightly different way of cooking the fried egg by giving it a really crisp base whilst maintaining the runny yolk, but it was 😍 👌. There are stools inside where you can bring your laptops and work, or there are a few tables inside and out. It is slightly tight inside on space as it gets busier, but it was a lovely atmosphere. I also grabbed a gorgeous sourdough loaf on the way out.

Heard really great things about hearth, so we decided to have breakfast with the family at the bakery. Paid almost £50 for two full English breakfast, one coffee, iced tea and a warm orange juice. Waited over 25 minutes for our drinks, which was a shame..they have okay coffee. But the food! Absolute disgrace, you could taste butter on everything! Also the beans are described as BBQ beans which when they came it was a chilli in a pot…with beef in! I’m sorry but to receive a beef chilli with kidney beans on a fry up makes me feel sick, none of us touched our breakfast other then the sourdough toast and sausage…as you can’t mess up those. The hash browns was so over cooked and crispy but hallow inside. We just left in the end as no staff came to check how we was with our food. What a waste of money and we will not be recommending or visiting again! Avoid at all costs, don’t waste you money!

This was the first time we had eaten here but heard very good things from lots of friends. We had the Sunday lunch which was excellent. We intended to have main course & dessert but the starters sounded so good we had to try two. The main course was very tasty and plentiful so sadly we were too full to have a dessert. We can do that next time as we plan to return soon with a bigger group of friends.

We had a lovely evening following our son's graduation ceremony, it was a great way to finish off our celebrations, excellent food and service, thank you

Big fan of the bakery, and went to the restaurant last night for an anniversary meal. Service was excellent and food was so good, we were trying to figure out the recipies. Thanks for the cute macaroons 🥰

Fabulous bakery, great food options, friendly service and great location. Not surprisingly not a lot of Gluten Free options in the bakery, but there was one and I was informs that it was very tasty! And the gluten containing bread and other menu items were fabulous for those of us lucky enough to be able to eat them! We are looking forward to trying the restaurant!

A real food experience, excellent quality . Lovely friendly, helpful staff . Had dietary restrictions they were so helpful .

One of the best Sunday lunches I have eaten, with a great selection of wines to choose from too. Plus the cherry almond crumble was divine. Thanks to all 🙏

We went to Hearth for a birthday brunch and it was really fantastic. Lovely food and the cakes were just as good and two. It was great to be able to get a draught beer. I would really recommend this place to eat!

Incredible food and service on every occasion. Special thanks for a recent large booking during which we were all looked after so well.

Very impressed lovely food and atmosphere the service whiile friendly I just couldn't get the WiFi password from anywhere and I missed out on key course work.

Fantastic stop for breakfast. Coffee lovely, breakfast bap brilliant, top quality and the side of hash browns, wonderful. Shame I was full as the pastries and bread look amazing.

Delicious food and drink, the croissant made me weak at the knees. Definitely recommend

After being stranded in the Hull Premiere Inn I ventured out for something to eat on a sunny day - Hearth cheered me up immensely! This is not your standard sausage roll. Beautifully fresh and flakey with a glorious filling, served with a pot of homemade ketchup. Sat just outside watching the pigeons 🥳

Great food I had a fry up breakfast and the flavours blew up in my mouth I highly recommend to go.

First class food and first class service. Highly recommend here for fine dining in central Hull

We had read a lot of glowing reviews about Hearth Restaurant and Bakery, Hull. A great location in the old town facing Hull Minster, the staff are friendly, courteous and helpful. We chose the small plates as a starter and were advised to select three between the two of us. They were delicious, fresh, well presented and very tasty but a little too big, one each would suffice. We didn’t waste any though! Then we had two mains, Bavette steak and salmon; both superb and the side dishes were exceptional too, broccoli with pomegranate, tomatoes and feta cheese. All washed down with a nice bottle of white wine, Dr Loosen, Estate Riesling.

We were a party of 7, all having Sunday lunch today. The food and service were excellent and serving staff couldn’t be more helpful . Highly recommend !

We had Sunday lunch here today and honestly, I’m back home down south thinking of how I can move to Hull. It was like all the best bits about eating out got mixed up with the all the best bits of staying home in this super friendly restaurant that feels like eating at your most stylish coolest friend’s house with food made by people that really know what they’re doing and served by people that you want to hang out with. It started with beautiful cocktails and it ended with me wishing I’d tried harder to save room for a second dessert (the chocolate fudge cake with milk chocolate ice cream) I really enjoyed all of it and I’m extremely jealous of everyone who lives in Hull and can go whenever they like.

Had a wonderful meal at Hearth tonight, the best food that my wife and I have had for years. The service was great, and we'll definitely be returning!

One of the best Sunday lunces I've had for ages absolutely delicious food

Everything about this place is fantastic. Staff, service, food, value for money. We just can't get enough. It is without doubt, one of the finest dining experiences we've had. Thank you The Hearth

Absolutely fantastic night here last night Food ,atmosphere,service all very Brilliant. Will definitely be back ,Thankyou so much

My wife booked us in for a party of 22 for my 50th. Thank you so much to all of the staff at The Hearth for making it a really relaxed, enjoyable lunch. Lovely friendly staff, great relaxed atmosphere and the excellent food was enjoyed by all (even my fussy parents).

We went the Hearth for lunch and ordered some small plates so we could try a bit of everything. The food came very quick and the service was great. The food was delicious and did not disappoint. Highly recommend! Will be back to try something else on the menu.

Came here for Mother's day with the in-laws. We had to wait over an hour for our starters but the food was fantastic, the best Sunday roast I have ever had and to say they were busy nothing was over or under cooked or under or over seasoned. They had the perfect number of staff to cater to everyone and all of the staff are brilliant. Will definitely be back.

We enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch in this buzzing, popular restaurant. This was the first time to Hearth after hearing good things and seeing the positive reviews. It was also a nostalgia trip, being an avid diner in Studio 101/2 cafe back in the 90s when a student at the Art College in Hull in my youth. The restaurant has a simple, stylish interior and is a pleasant environment to dine. It also appears very well organised and had an abundance of service staff. We were seated in the upstairs restaurant seated opposite the open kitchen. The service was attentive from the staff for ordering and checking on drinks, but the main course food service was fairly slow. We decided on 2 courses and waited 45 minutes after ordering for our mains, which did seem too long. Desserts arrived much quicker, within 10 minutes The food quality is very good homestyle rustic comfort food (which seems to be the new bar set for Michelin guide rated food these days...as home cooked food becomes less the norm of society). Portions are generous, and Sunday lunch trimmings are plentiful. A special note for the meatloaf style sage and onion 'pudding', which was deemed 'excellent'and the roast potatoes were perfectly crisp outside and fluffy inside. The only disappointment was the over seasoning of the food, as all savoury courses and gravy did seem VERY salty. We would have preferred a less salty taste and felt thirsty for several hours after eating. Also, identifying allergies or dietary requirements was not determined upfront by staff, when ordering or any mention. For example, one fish main course arrived at the table with a gravy already poured over the (enormous) yorkshire pudding, and we had to query with the waitress if the gravy was meat free. Which was confirmed. Desserts were excellent, with interesting menu choices, and, again, generous portions. We would return, as the overall experience was enjoyable, but maybe to try the evening menu next time..

Long haired kid in the kitchen has a stinking attitude

Best Sunday roast iv had staff is really friendly also Highly! Recommend this fantastic restaurant .

Absolutely fantastic, the tastiest food I've had in a long time. Service & staff friendly, helpful and on point. I cannot rate these people high enough

Sunday dinner was one of the best we have ever been to.Quality food with Good service.

Had the pleasure of sampling the bakery for breakfast, the rhubarb and custard danish was devine!! Great coffee too

Amazing! From beginning to end the whole experience was fantastic, I came for my mums birthday and 4 of us had the tasting menu it was varied in dishes and super delicious. The staff were super friendly and warm, great atmosphere and I even met the doggo who was utterly gorgeous! This place is a gem and absolutely worth every penny. I can’t wait to return for their Sunday lunch. Thank you 🙏🏼

What a beautiful Quaint place situated in Hull's Old Town right near the Trinity Church. I would describe this place as Artisan. Very bohemian interior with a gentle atmosphere. The menu can change daily but there is a good choice range including specials. It is meant to be a sharing/tapas place, however we decided to go for individual plates for ourselves as to be perfectly honest, it was too good to share. Don't be put off by the prices as it is worth it for the quality and taste of the food you are getting. The flavours are beautifully combined and very tasty. The potato poems were lush, lathered in truffle, parmesan and a dressing. Very moreish. My friend even wanted the recipe for the sauce to the Scotch egg it was that good. The service were outstanding, especially having to deal with 11 of us. The kitchen stayed open due to us being delayed by traffic. (Hull and its terrible road system, didn't help). We were so grateful for them to do this and the service from Chris especially was second to none. His service was 5* and a true credit to the establishment. All in all, highly recommended a visit. Plus there are some wonderful deserts and fresh bread to take home with you.

Food and service were excellent. Can’t fault it and recommend to anyone.

Lovely breakfast apart from the breadcake being burnt . Too long in the toaster?. Their bakery is excellent. The sourdough loaves are the best iv tasted. Will definitely be going again.

Amazing in every way. Can't wait to go back

New years eve 'Taster menue'...was fantastic underpinned with great service and a cool atmosphere. Hearth is a 'must doo', venue. Thank you Ryan and the entire Heath family.

If you work an unpaid trial shift don't expect to hear anything back from them, generally if I give 4 hours of my labour I'd at least hope for a short message letting me know I've not been chosen for the position. Moderately exploitative if you're looking for work.

Lovely food - prefer the evening menu though lol - Lovely staff - deffo recommend 😋

Went for both breakfast and an evening meal. Food was good, staff efficient and friendly. They got us fed and out in time for our theatre visit. Will be going again.

Not a great place, was much hyped in the local area but so not worth the money. £7.50 for a slice of sourdough with rarebit spread on it !!! £9.50 for a brioche bun and 2 very fatty slices of beef. Only saving grace was the breakfast tea which was lovely. Service was ok and waiting staff friendly enough, however the dining area was very cold, don't take your coat off in side. Overall disappointing and I won't be returning.

What a find, went to the restaurant for Sunday lunch and had a wonderful meal. There is a choice of traditional and specials, with a table of 4 adults and two children we went for a mix of dishes and all were cooked to perfection. Certainly going back, this place is fantastic. Now having visited for a second time, we did a similar arrangement as our previous, although this time we also had a chiice of three desserts which were equally as good as tje main course. Our sincere compliments to the whole team for another great meal.

Perfectly OK bakery. Not much on offer and a very strange atmosphere, not very welcoming although very quiet. Be careful where you sit, you are likely to be knocked around if you're anywhere near the door.

This place is amazing! Every dish is so well thought through and delicious and the vegetarian options are not afterthoughts they are so tasty. Fast becoming our favourite place to eat! Thank you team hearth!

Such divine food I may have to move to Hull just for this place. All homemade and exquisite. Best and most creative beans on toast I’ve ever had. Very friendly place too.

Sampled the tasting menu here last night. Don’t be fooled by the name - you need to be hungry! The food was supreme quality and the flavours are intense, put together by some very skilled chefs. Great wine list and the service and atmosphere were lovely. Heading back for breakfast this morning. An absolute gem of a place!

The most wonderful meal. And the team were so friendly and helpful. Will definitely be visiting again

We booked a table in the restaurant at Hearth recently for a light lunch on a Saturday after hearing good things from friends. Upon arrival, we found that the bakery and restaurant are slightly different operations- the bakery does brunch, sandwiches, burgers etc. while the restaurant is a more gourmet affair. Luckily, the kind staff offered to let us order from both menus so some of our group had burger and chips while others had the small and large plates from the restaurant menu. They warned us that the food might arrive at different times as it was being prepared by two kitchens, but their communication was excellent and all meals arrived at a similar time. The staff were all friendly and attentive, the food from the bakery was delicious and reasonably priced, and the food from the restaurant menu sounded exciting, and those who ate it enjoyed it (it is a bit pricier than the bakery menu, but you are definitely getting more of an experience with this menu!). The portion size of chips was also excellent, as was the bread from the bakery to start the meal. The venue itself was lovely, and the open kitchen area in the restaurant adds to the dining experience, it was lovely to watch the chefs preparing the meal here. It is clear that the team care greatly about what they do and want to deliver an experience that is second to none. I would definitely recommend this place, both for a 'casual' lunch from the bakery and as a fine dining experience in the restaurant... Next time we will book the right side though!

Amazing food and fantastic service. Staff are all very knowledgeable and attentive. Great information on each dish. The food was amazing and the bread from the bakery was out of this world. I can't wait to return soon.

Wonderful place with really interesting and flavourful dishes. There isn't another restaurant in Hull doing what they do and it's refreshing to see something a bit different. It's all about sharing, you can order small plates and sides or larger plates which are the equivalent of a main meal. For 2 people we got mix of 9 small plates and sides and it was maybe one too many - but we gave it a fair go! My highlight dish was the smoked haddock chouder - could eat that all day long. Variety is the spice of life and my preference is to have lots of smaller dishes, regardless of if they "go together" or not. All dishes were very different from one another which makes for a good range of tastes. Would happily recommend and will be back.

Great little bakery we found just off the beaten track. Lovely food and great service.

Great chai latte, 10/10 madelines fresh from the oven with an orange flavour 🥰 Lovely staff, cute bakery, lovely pastries. Will come again x

Passion fruit cream puff is awesome. Try it. ))

Had a great meal with my family & friends from Jersey. We all had a fantastic meal, it was first class dinning. We also took our 4 year old Grandson & our new twin grandaughters. All were catered for without any fuss. Great evening & highly recomend a vist. Also at night looks lovely by the square.

Absolutely wonderful. Fantastic bread, the best beans on toast I have ever had, lovely staff. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Lovely young lady served us. Good coffee - friendly, helpful, and welcoming.

Everything was excellent, went for the 6 course taster menu - was soooo good and good portions. Can't wait to come back as it's dog friendly and now want to try the bakery

Loved the crab & fennel toast and the hazelnut iced latte was delicious! Friendly service too, we enjoyed our lunch at Hearth.

Fab place what a gem! So nice to have somewhere like this in the city centre! Exquisite food, beautiful location, friendly service 👌 see you again soon

This place os lovely, we sat outside and had the breakfast bun which was sausage, egg and bacon. We also ordered a side of jash browns and they tasted amazing - you could tell they were home made. The coffee is also spot on

I was so impressed after visiting the bakery I had to try the restaurant. I visited with a friend for Sunday lunch and was blown away by the quality, presentation, service, ambience and knowledge of all the staff. We visited again for a family celebration and once again Hearth and the staff ticked all of the boxes, the personal service was second to none. This place is a real hidden gem and I can not recommend highly enough.

Loved our meal last night, the food was delicious with fresh ingredients and great flavour combinations. The staff were brilliant, I have allergies and intolerances, the staff went through the menu with the chefs and came back with a menu clearly marked with what I could eat without any changes and what dishes I could have with some adjustments made, which gave me so much to chose from. Highly recommend paying this place a visit, excellent food and service in a lovely setting.

A lovely little find in the centre of Hull! We were looking for a great small plates/sharing menu, and this was a perfect fit. The staff were all very welcoming but not overbearing. The food was 10/10. Standouts were the scotch eggs and beef shin ragu. Wish we had room for dessert too! We will visit again!!

Absolutely wonderful food and excellent service. All the staff are friendly and more than happy to help. I had the avocado toast and chai latte, and the was wonderful. I would definitely recommend it to family and friends.

Stunning food and great atmosphere.

Amazing Sunday roast and service

Had an amazing meal here last night. The service was fantastic and the steak was out of this world!

Amazing food at very reasonable prices (i.e., its not cheap, but the quality reflects this), the staff are wonderful and go above and beyond - and its a lovely place to eat in a great location. Would absolutely go back again

One of the best roast dinners we’ve had out! We had the lamb from the special, the sharer roast, and the vegetarian hispi cabbage. Includes Yorkshire, cauliflower cheese, roast seasonal veg, 10/10 gravy. Service was good too. We got the chicken skin snack which we weren’t bothered by and the beef tartare wasn’t quite what we expected, but overall, would 100% recommend and would come again. Good value for what it is too.

4th visit to Hearth, never disappoints. fabulous food, great atmosphere and the staff can not do enough to help you. We couldn’t decide on wine so they let us try a couple until we found one we liked. Service was efficient and friendly and you don’t feel rushed.

Outstanding service and one of the best meals I’ve had in the UK

Had a great breakfast here. Very delicious food and friendly staff.

The food was exquisite, the price is amazing for the quality plus the bald chef is very sexy will definitely be going again

Great food! Great environment and great service! I loved the hummus small plate, the smoked pork belly was super tender and the seared stone bass was cooked to perfection 👌
