Humber Fish Co in Kingston upon Hull, City of

Great night out at a good price, although rather busy the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely go again. The responses to the one star reviews are also pretty funny.

First class fish restaurant would really recommend amazing food

Superb fish and chips and really friendly staff. Loved the harbour location so after a brilliant meal it was a pleasure to go outside and walk it off

Had a superb meal last night, the staff were very attentive and the service was excellent. We had a lobster and prawn cocktail starter, Fish cakes (2 big cakes in a wonderful sauce) and Monkfish with a Sriracha sauce. The food was perfect and great portions. Just wish I could remember what the sauce was with the fish cakes as I’d love to give it a try at home 🙏

Glad we found this restaurant and it was well worth the visit, amazing service from the lovely friendly staff, the food was amazing, unfortunately we couldn’t leave s tip when we paid by card, not sure what that’s all about, I had some cash and left that but would have given more if I could do on the card

Beautiful food, really nice place, great service. Recommend the fish stew!

We went for lunch today and it was 1st class. From the waitress to the chefs preparing our food. It never disappoints, we went with friends a month ago for dinner and they were blown away. The portion sizes , the freshness there is no place like it in and around of Hull for fish lovers! X

Hull should have an amazing fish restaurant, and this is it. Humber Fish Co been our favourite “plaice” in Hull for some years now, and it never disappoints. Lovely setting, always a friendly welcome and laid back atmosphere, and with food to match. An excellent wine selection too. A perfect lunch or evening out.

Humber Fish Co. in Hull is a top spot for seafood lovers, offering fresh, locally sourced dishes in a cozy setting. The menu features everything from classic fish and chips to oysters and crab, all expertly prepared. With friendly service and a laid-back atmosphere, it’s a fantastic place to enjoy quality seafood by the Humber waterfront.

Gorgeous food. Good service, if a little fraught...busy buzzy atmosphere! Tables need to be bigger for crockery used; never enough room!

Everyone is raving about this place ...why I adore seafood and eating at fantastic restaurants, but I won't go here again. The prices are more than what Scott's in Mayfair charge it's ludicrous. And there's no ambiance or class to the place.

We arrived at quarter to 8 and was rushed to order as the kitchen was closing in 15 minutes even though they were open until 10 that day (this would have been fine if they had just told us before when we made the booking instead of rushing us as soon as we got there). The food seemed hit and miss, the monk fish wasn't cooked well at all, but fish stew was pretty good. Not really the quality I expected for the price though.

Visited to celebrate our anniversary Ordered drinks and food at about 8pm Closer to 9pm, we asked about our orders and were told that they would arrive shortly. Half an hour later, there was still no sign off food and we asked again. The wait staff Caroline told us that we only ordered an hour back and had to wait as there were many orders. She seemed to imply by her tone that we were impatient and trying to cut the queue which we weren’t. Perhaps the staff were overwhelmed. I asked if there was any table bread as we were very hungry. She realized that this was forgotten and brought us some. The food was good but the experience not quite.

If you like seafood this the plaice, (get it). Experienced food envy whilst looking at other diner's choices.

Further to the response, I would like to clarify that we did ask for a table to be added before the food arrived and it WAS refused. This was only pulled over once the waitresses realised it was impossible to fit the food on!! Who wants their drinks and sides on another table! If our request had been actioned at the time this wouldn't have been an issue. This is not a scathing review. It's an honest review and I'm even more disappointed that you would respond to honest feedback in this way. This was a special treat for us and we are entitled to our opinion. I'm not a keyboard warrior by any means, just honest. We were all disappointed in the food as we had high expectations which were not met. Long awaited visit to Humber Fish last night for my birthday and my daughters. What a disappointment. Overpriced and over-hyped in our opinion. Sat 4 people at a tiny table that only had room for drinks and a plate each. When asked if they would pull up another table, they refused (even though there were empty tables around us and it was the last sitting, 8pm, so no one else was coming in). Then when they started bringing the mains out and couldn't fit it on, just pulled up a table nearer and put the 'sides' on there. The food was average at best and rushed. Such a shame as I've been wanting to go since it opened. We spent £300 for starters, mains and 2 bottles of wine. For that money I expected to be wowed by the food and service but unfortunately it wasn't the case. Maybe it was an off night as others seemed to be wowed, which is why we went.

Always great fish and good friendly service

Response to owners reply 1. C was used so I did not name your staff member in a public review. As you have stated you prefer for her name to be on my review, I have updated it accordingly 2. We did not ask for service every 3 minutes: this is a false accusation 3. Insinuating insult to the royal family in your response is a reflection of your immaturity, an unfortunate reflection of your upbringing and respect to the royalty of your country. 4. I ate the prawn and it was sour. therefore, i believe it is rotten. You have no right to dismiss my experience I have read the responses to the poor reviews and the 'owner' has been consistently dismissive and condescending in all the responses - name calling and ridiculing customers who have had a poor experience. I have tried to make my response rude as yours but simply cant stoop to your disgusting level ====== This is my experience and it is truthful ===== Meal: Dinner at 7.45pm Date 28 June Quality of Food: 4/5 Quality of ambience: 5/5 Quality of service overall: 4/5 Quality of service from table waitress: 1/5 Booking 7.45pm 8.05pm I asked for recommendations for dinner. We were provided with 2 recommendations and ordered At 8.25pm we were approached by Caroline who asked us what we wanted. I informed her we had already placed the order but she wanted us to tel her the order again which we did. At 9pm I asked the wait staff for the food and how long it would take Caroline returned to our table with her piece of paper and indicated to us with ‘evidence’ that we had placed our order with her at 8.25pm. At that point in time, I felt her manner was poor and seemed to accuse of us being impatient but I chose to smile and nod. Our food arrived at 9.15pm 9.25pm Caroline asked us how our food was. We ordered 2 platers and from what we had eaten the food was good and seafood fresh At 9.45pm I was peeling the King Prawns and the flesh was totally mushy - as seen in photo and it tasted sour. I informed a male wait staff who apologized and said he would check up on this. Caroline returned to our table and asked us what the matter was. After I explained she told us “Well all our seafood is fresh catch from the day. When I check with you just now, you said it was all alright.” I re-eiterated that the prawn was rotten and gone bad. Caroline said that she could see what I meant but again said that I had told her that the food was alright when she checked earlier in the evening. As a feedback to Humber and Co This response from Caroline is unacceptable and seemed to implicate us in our concern over the food we ordered. 1. I am not responsible to ‘check all the food’ in the 10 minutes it appears on my table. Less so when I order 2 platters. 2. In any fresh catch there are always seafood that are dead and start to rot almost immediately. Just because your seafood is caught in the day, does not mean that it is all fresh. My review is tainted because of Caroline. My experience with all the others were pleasant and had it not been for these interactions, I would have placed 5 stars.

First time dining at Humber Fish Co and it totally matched our high expectations. The food was excellent and the staff were all friendly and helpful. We really couldn’t fault anything other then the inability to tip when paying by card. The Seafood Diablo was so tasty I took the remaining sauce home with me. We will definitely return.

Very well presented and very tasty food. (Recommend the 'Traditional Fish Stew') Aspiring upmarket decor diminished by noisy, 'work-a-day' ambience dominated by unnecessarily thumping disco beat music. Efficient but somewhat 'distant' service whose attention it was hard to attract. Also, check your bill to make sure you are being asked to pay for what you actually ordered, ate, drank. Would I patronise again ? .. 'No' (sadly) after discovering we were overcharged by £15 for drinks we did not order / have.

Smashing seafood. We had the very large but delicious Skippers Haul (£140) A very interesting seafood platter with a lobster, dressed crab, oysters, prawns of various type and size as well as lots 9f other goodies. Amazing dish for a special celebration but lots of other much cheaper dishes available.

Fantastic meal at humber fish, great service. Beautiful thai flavours on some of the dishes. Please remember cash for tips as the staff definitely go over and above for you.

Food was disgusting. Tasted like it had been stored for a few weeks in my grandmas knicker draw. A tin of asda smart price sardines taste better then anything from here. Staff were disinterested in actually giving customer service. And half of them looked like they were fresh from chernobyl. Won't be eating here again, next time I'll go catch my own tea from the drain near my house (it'll taste better).

Popped in on the off chance luckily we were able to get a table. Had a lovely lunch food delicious and service very good too .

Just returned home after a delicious lunch, our first time here having been recommended by a Nieghbour, it most certainly won’t be our last. Great menu, superb service, immaculate facilities, the only criticism is the table size was a little small for 4 people. Thankyou, See you very soon.

Would highly recommend this restaurant, the food was delicious, the service was excellent.

I’ll never go there again. I booked several days in advance, it was our anniversary, we specifically asked for a window seat. We didn’t get one! We were fobbed with a mid restaurant table. We should have left there and then. But we didn’t. We sat down and had a lovely lunch. But I’ll not book there again, the window tables were taken by walk-ins. They hadn’t booked so there was no need for the window tables to be occupied. So, in short: great food, very overpriced and badly managed by ‘front of house’.

Lovely meal with family food hot and tasty didnt get a picture of fish and chips but it looked fantastic

First visit here & mussels were overcooked as was the squid. Anywhere else we've had moules mariniere you are provided with sufficient bread to mop up the sauce, or offered more if required. Disappointingly a very small portion of bread was supplied & if more required then cough up & pay. My wife had a Pimms that didn't particularly have a strong Pimms flavour. The atmosphere was spoilt by music playing too loudly so everyone in the small restaurant is shouting to be heard. Staff were helpful.

The food here is simply out of this world it’s hard to put into words the quality you will get here everything is cooked to perfection. As a seafood lover this is my go to restaurant! If you haven’t been and you love seafood all I will say is wow…

Best restaurant in Hull for sure. Fresh and super tasty food always. It is on the expensive side but worth every penny. Friendly and attentive staff with dietary restrictions.

Nice atmosphere, delicious mussels. Wonderful.

My partner treated me to lunch, we’ve been meaning to pop here for a while as we both love seafood. Service was good, the restaurant was busy so we did have to wait a while to get more drinks and the bill at the end as the two ladies where busy either on the phone taking bookings ( I think ) or serving customers. Food was quite good. Will try again and pick alternative things to what we picked this time. The restaurant is spotlessly clean and I love the decor, fun but not tacky. Great location too 😊

Food excellent, just rushed to order as older waitress told us we have 1 minute left to order . Food tho excellent portions and indeed very tasty and real bottled coke cola bonus

Was amazing food 😋 the place is beautiful the food was amazing from the starter to the coffee at the end with the chocolate tht was a beautiful touch 😍😇 ps Could you add a pina-colada to ur cocktails 🍸 😋

First visit here but will not be our last. So very nice to see somewhere like this doing so well. The food we had last night was as good as anything I’ve ever eaten. Certainly the best seafood I’ve had and in our own city. It’s a great menu and they also had a really nice specials menu. Generous portions, beautifully cooked and served be lovely staff who were attentive and helpful. Really highly recommended if you like seafood.

Very good food and pleasantly surprised

Probably one of the best restaurants in Hull

Came here for my birthday. Everything was perfect! The food was delicious, the service was outstanding and we had the best table next to the fish tank. Really exceeded our expectations, thank you we’ll be coming back.

Very busy bank holiday Sunday special occasion wedding anniversary. Staff friendly and welcoming food was excellent had starters crab on toast . Then mains wife had Portuguese stew and I had Thai halibut food was brilliant with a bottle of wine and desserts would highly recommend

Fish not cooked. Staff informed. Not much feed back considering it is a fish restaurant. Disappointing.

This restaurant is such a gem. The ambience of the place is very special and a warm welcome greets you as soon as you step through the door. It is very difficult to choose from the extensive menu and daily specials. We have dined in the attractively themed restaurant a number of times and always come away very happy. Our visit yesterday was amazing, The Fish Grill was totally delicious and great value for money. The Thai Spiced Halibut is to die for, look forward to returning to have this dish again next time. All in all another fabulous experience.at Humber Fish!

Amazing food and a brilliant atmosphere.

Food we had was very good, sadly though, so many of the dishes we wanted were unavailable so had to settle for second or third choice on nearly every dish .

Good food but as soon as our dish came, there was hair in it and as we pointed it out to the waitress, she took the hair out and expected us to keep eating. They later said they wouldn’t replace our meal and when the bill arrived, they charged us for all the dishes including the one with hair in it which we didn’t eat. I asked the waitress why we are being charged with this and she took the bill to the manager to change it. The manager came back without any changes to the bill thinking we wouldn’t notice and when I asked why, they stated that it happened because it was a “windy day” and it wasn’t the chef as he is bald. We are very disappointed with the service as we come here often.

We tried the lunch time deal which is £20 for two courses. My starter was a prawn and crab cocktail, this dish was mainly salad with very little prawns and crab. Plus the prawns tasted like cooked from frozen not fresh. For the main course I had fish and chips. I was expecting a full fish but unfortunately it was a very small slice of fish and small portion of chips. Unfortunately after eating my lunch I was still hungry and ended up paying for some more food elsewhere It was a £20 snack

Hard to beat first class food and service. Not vastly expensive either. Perfect friendly lunchtime. Thank you.

The sea bass was excellent! Crowded and crowded!

Having been to some of the best seafood restaurants in the UK, I know good food and this is definitely not it. FYI when someone orders a medium/ well done steak, the centre should not be raw. Offering to recook a half eaten steak is beyond amateurish. I think you’ll find that we ate half our poorly cooked food. Prawns overly salted and cooked so long they had the texture of rubber. Butter served so cold that it resembled cheese. We didn’t even attempt to spread it on the stale bread served with the starters. I’m thankful that I didn’t order the lobster given the shocking scallop dish you served. The lack of finesse in your cooking is astounding given the reviews. Scallops cooked in a mustard leek sludge? If you think that makes me a keyboard warrior then you clearly are as limited in your views as your chef is in their abilities. BTW charging £3 for a garlic butter given our £150 bill for lunch is pathetic!

Absolutely loved it, food and level of service exemplary! Good, convivial atmosphere.

Best fish restaurant in Hull. Love this place.

Walked in and told the waitress we had a table booked, as I was awaiting to be sat a waiter literally walked in-between me and my partner, why couldn't he just wait rather than walking between us? The starter was really nice, it was a spring roll, the main wasn't that nice, just tasted of tomato rather than any fish taste. Really over priced, which I full expected but definitely above it's station. Atmosphere was strange, a really nice chilled place with nice deco with dance music blasting out. EDIT FOR RESPONSE: The waiter didn't realise, but that's where staff training comes in, simply wait until your customers are seated, then carry on with your job.

I was a bit wary after seeing the owner's robust responses to the odd negative review. I shouldn't have worried. The food was superb, also reasonably priced. Service very attentive and friendly. Highly recommended.

My husband and I had a fantastic lunch here today and I would recommend it to anyone! It was our first time and it most definitely won't be our last. We both had the seafood diablo and it was amazing,a generous portion and seafood cooked to perfection. The staff couldn't of been nicer and more welcoming. We look forward to next time!

The best fish and chips in town

A trip to the city with six other friends required us to find somewhere for the evening meal and we took a chance on here. We landed on our feet completely. We were surprised that we had been asked for what we wanted to order at the time of booking however we all felt that worked brilliantly once in the restaurant. Everyone enjoyed their starter and main, portions were probably larger than they needed to be but better that than feeling they were too small. Only one of us could manage a dessert! I had the pepper squid to start which was beautifully cooked, wonderful texture and flavour and for main I had the seafood diablo, it had a nice kick however each piece of seafood was cooked well. We all left very happy and would not hesitate to return or recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Excellent restaurant. Superb choice, service and food. Would highly recommend

I love fish restaurants and have been to them all over the world but this is the best food, service and ambiance.

Nice friendly staff, very helpful and gave good suggestions about the menu. Food was good, well cooked.

We visit each year for a birthday meal. The menu is great (fish focused, obviously) and we like the atmosphere. There are cheaper places to eat in the city, but none better.

Had a delicious meal here. Lovely friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Subtle music and a fish tank. Very happy with my visit and would definitely go again

The food was amazing, the service was amazing and the decor was almost comically fishy. It's a really good place to eat seafood.

Wow, incredible. I was a bit apprehensive as I am not a massive seafood eater but it was worth the risk. It was amazing. Some small canapés on arrival were very nice. I had the surf and turf spring roll to start and my partner had the squid. Spring was spot on. I had the sriracha monkfish main and they had the scallop thermidor, both spot on. We also tried the oysters, I've never had before, not sure they are for me but my partner liked them and they came with a nice selection of toppings. Cocktail was good as well. Will definitely be coming back

Humber Fish is a refined restaurant that serves locally sourced fish excellently. The service and atmosphere are top notch and everything down to the bread baskets has that extra bit of flavour you don’t always get elsewhere. I highly recommend the seafood diablo for spice lovers and you definitely won’t leave hungry!

Was in for a meal on New years eve. Was great. Slightly oddly I don't eat any seafood but they do an excellent steak so I was very happy.

Had been looking forward to this due to seemingly a lot of good reviews but definitely let down, whilst the food was nice it was not much more than that. The Diablo was not spicy at all and was essentially just a tomato sauce. The sriracha monkfish described as a “spiced batter” was just posh fish and chips? Without the sriracha Mayo there would have been no flavour at all. One of the waitresses was lovely and the other lacked customer service completely. Nice to experience but probably wouldn’t return!

Took our daughter for her Birthday- she was so excited to try lobster - whole lobster cost us £90 but came without claws - which was very odd ??? Felt a little cheated to be honest - £200 bill - so not cheap - but nice food otherwise

Me and my partner were seated promptly at our table by a lovely staff member, all was well until one male waiter presented our menus and took our drink orders. For context I was very obviously on a date with my partner and so was wearing a nice dress which happened to show some of my chest. Both me and my partner noticed all throughout the night this one particular waiter unashamedly stare at my chest, making me very uncomfortable and dampening the mood of what was supposed to be a lovely evening. As we were leaving he leaned too close for comfort as he said goodbye just to top it off. In regards to food, it was generally okay but I don’t believe the seafood diablo was at all value for money as the sauce seems to entirely rely on its spiciness for its flavour. My partner described his sriracha monkfish as “watery” and “relying on the sauce for flavour”. Also, “chips were good”. The service from everyone except the aforementioned waiter was great and we hold nothing against them. Edit to respond to owners comment: Yes, it is my own opinion about the seafood diablo because, shocker, this is a personal review. If I appeared abrupt to the waiter in question it might have been because him repeatedly and blatantly staring at my chest made me uncomfortable. Someone else in the same scenario could have been far more outspoken about it in person. My boyfriend emailed you yesterday to ask if anything has been done in regards to warning the waiter about making someone uncomfortable but by the looks of your review responses I can believe that no action will be taken. It seems you would prefer to accuse me of being abrupt instead of considering the possibility your waiter may have been a creep. Final point, just because a review is negative does not mean it is unfair. Take the criticism on the chin and do better in the future.

Six of us Starters and main cause drinks 300 pounds good food good service and value

They give great service. The portions are generous. The food is delicious

As always best of the best, food delicious, servers super attentive and nice, just live this place

Se pasate da Hull andate a mangiare il pesce vale la pena grazie HUMBER FISH CO

You won't find a better Sea food restaurant anywhere in my opinion. Top notch every time. Delicious incentive food and such quality. I had Portuguese Fish stew- fabulous! Staff wonderful great atmosphere. Thanks again!

Great food 😋.. First place I recommend when people ask where to East out in Hull.

The best fish restaurant I have been in

Absolutely brilliant. Very slick ,well run,superb food

Visited here on recommendation and after reading some great reviews. The meals purchased on this visit was The East Coast Fish and Chips and The Fish Grill. Everything presented was extremely fresh and of very high quality. At first the prices looked a little steep, but when tasting the product - it was backed with quality. The cook of all the fish was excellent. Service was absolutely spot on, with a few free nibbles to try brought over by the waiting staff. The place is very clean and modern, however slightly dimly lit. (Personally I'd prefer it a touch brighter but it sets a nice, chilled atmosphere). Overall the food was great - my only quibble would be, on both meals, there wasn't enough chips. We both thought they could've been a little more generous with the chips - taking into account the price of the food. Other than that. A solid 10/10. Will revisit.

Excellent food and wine. Great service. Would return

Fish tacos- not great at all. Smoothed in mayonnaise and some sparingly placed salad with fish gousons. Not particularly tasty and the fish was bland.

Excellent food, yeah a little more expensive but don’t let that deter you, it’s worth every penny

They got my dog a bowl of water so nice and dogs welcoming. ✌️

Great place in Hull to dine out,good selection of fish to choose

Tasty interesting menu, great value all considered. Good selection of wine and friendly service.

Lovely warm atmosphere.. .Beautiful food ..found it hard to choose it all sounded brilliant...and our food certainly was ... friendly first class service Could not fault anything at all ... Highly recommended ...

Absolutely ticks the boxes for great food, great drinks, great service, great atmosphere, really not bad prices for seafood and finally a really great location. Worth travelling for a lovely meal with loved ones.

Went there last night for a family night out. Very expensive for what you get. Plus we were charged for chips that should have come with the meal. I had Sriracha Halibut. No chips turned up and when we asked they gave us a portion. Checking the bill later we had been chared for them. Also the fish was overcooked and the batter burned. Wont be going back

Fantastic Food , Fresh Cooked well and well presented, great service to. Lovely starters and great choice of main course, be warned though the Main Courses are Huge , Delicious but HUGE ! 👍🏻 Definitely going to return , so many Delicious items to try.

Great atmosphere, food tasted beautiful (ie,empty plate)definitely go back, staff great too 👍 recommend the seafood diabolo 😋

If you like seafood... this is fantastic. We had fish and chips and 'surf and turf'.. delicious. Except for the music, which was good but a tiny bit too loud, everything here is to enjoy

Amazing food been many times with my girlfriend been raving about this restaurant to my parents for years! Finally got round to taking them, food was amazing as usual but the experience was spoiled for them but the extremely loud music which we asked to be turned down THREE TIMES! Each time turning it back up 30secs later! In a restaurant we should be able to hold a conversation without shouting (in my humble opinion) as a result they won't be eating here again, real same for a first time visit.

Lots of choice for seafood lovers and a meat option for those that aren't. Food was tasty and fresh. Our party of 6 all had a good selection of different dishes. All rated high. Some dishes are a bit heavy on the garlic but didn't for us, spoil the experience. Service was quick & professional and the ambiance in the restaurant was nice & chilled. It is a bit pricey but is ideal for that special occasion. Would definitely return.

I ordered the haddock from the fryer with a portion of chips. The fish was lovely but the batter tasted burnt like it had been fried in old oil. I received 6 chips of very poor quality. The manager was less than friendly when we challenged the bill. We had placed our order prior to arriving but when we got there they had a new menu with very raised prices. Can't recommend this place unfortunately.

Fantastic food, great service, loving the music! I had crab on toast and Diablo mussels - OMG!! Hubby had prawn cocktail and roast halibut. Couldn’t fault it.

You get what you pay for. Not the cheapest meal out but it is very good

Absolutely delightful in every aspect; fantastic service, delicious food, and imaginative décor that beautifully mixes the contemporary and traditional. Definitely cannot rate this restaurant highly enough. If you enjoy seafood, you are definitely missing something special if you don't make a visit.

Often you read the hype, only to find that the place in question didn’t quite meet your expectations. I couldn’t get passed what I’d read, so had to try it and absolutely loved the restaurant. Fine dining without the faff, every dish a triumph, service and atmosphere to match. Smoked haddock scotch egg and house fish stew in my case, the latter being accompanied by a generous amount of garlic bread for dipping, feel the comfort. Crab crumpets in Denise’s case, and sea bass, the former we’ve tried to replicate at home with limited success. I was hoping for something special to celebrate 24 years of marriage, it doesn’t get anymore special than here.

The food and service was fantastic. It was all decked out for Christmas and the atmosphere was lovely. Staff were great, there when you needed them. Would recommend.

Beautiful fresh food, went here for my birthday celebration and it was lovely, the staff were lovely too and very attentive, would deffo go back again, portion sizes are a good size so make sure you go hungry

Absolutely delicious! Very expensive but the food is 100% worth it. When they say giant prawns they really mean gigantic prawns the size of your hands! Service was great, food was amazing, the restaurant was very clean and tidy, the toilets were ok too (door with a lock, plenty of toilet roll, clean and tidy). We will 100% be going there again. Only feedback I have is to have some kind of online booking system as you can only book by calling and they're not open every day.

We came here yesterday for our wedding anniversary it our second visit to the restaurant and we where not disappointed. The service & food was fantastic. Thank you can't wait to come back
