Normally go to Minerva but they were fully booked so we thought we'd try Lion & Key. The girl serving on was lovely & friendly so we were pleased with our decision to try. Unfortunately we were so disappointed. My husband ordered a 'Meat Club Sandwich ' I can honestly say it was disgusting, it was full of salami and pepperoni slices with a very small piece of ham pressed together with tasteless purple lettuce (a meat club is normally chicken & bacon isnt it,) My husband ate the chips only and said they were OK and made a chip sandwich out of the dry bread which was allegedly toasted. I had the Soup although very tasty at £8.95 I found very expensive, it was virtually a child's bowl size and a very cheap slice of bread and butter with it not even a decent bread roll & I was still hungry afterwards. I'm sorry as the pub has the potential to be great like it use to be years ago.

Absolutely fabulous nothing like pub grub it's just like mother used to make it. Okay it's a bit pricey compared with others but it's the ambience of the place. It appeared to be pensioners paradise with the 20% off everything, but then again it's those who seem to keep most places going, especially during the day. The staff were delightful despite their youthfulness. Top marks see you again very soon and thank you very much

Unfortunately I arrived to eat with friends and they politely refused to serve me any food because they could not cook anything without cross contamination. So I had crisps lol. My friend forgot to check when booking our table so it's my fault for not checking myself but the atmosphere is good and the service and food looked good too

Looked forward to our afternoon trip to The Lion and Key as I like a good pint of real ale what was on off was beer from a local brewery and not my cup of tea,my partner like a good lager but again nothing on offer., Not sure but possibly has had a change of ownership and trying to make a go of it by reducing quality I will probably not go back for a while wait till the get some decent ale in Pete Lincolnshire

First time in Hull. Picked this pub at random. Intended just to have a beer or two but then saw the menu and decided to eat as well. The very friendly young lady running the bar helped me make my choice and stone-me if it wasn't one or the best pub sandwiches I've ever had. Anywhere. Interesting range of local beers on tap and with the trip to take in the ceiling decor alone.....rarely so easy to give a pub 5-stars....👌

On a film-set street, 30 seconds from the hustle and bustle but seems 30 minutes away, lives a gem of an old school pub. This gem has some great beers but its main selling point is the food. The place was packed which was a good sign. We rang the bell on the wall (a nod to the old Irish pub days) and was served some delicious pub style fish and chips. Not been asked “skin on or off” for a long, long time but shows attention to detail. Enjoy!

We visited yesterday, as my son in law always loves the chance to go for the fish and chips here. Living in Germany, he doesn't get decent fish and chips often. My Haddock goujons were massive, and beautiful. All the food was excellent, and the service was top notch. Being of " advanced years " my wife and I got a discount on our bill, which was very welcome. The only slight niggle was the smaller than usual choice of beers, with no dark ones on draught. The ones we had were lovely though, so not a big problem.

Must be looking at the wrong photos/reviews? Told not to preorder but when we arrived for a meal booked weeks in advance key items not available. The food that came was poorly presented, much smaller than photos or was just dry. My macaroni cheese looked nothing like photos and was baked dry. With this in mind, it's overpriced.

Another of my occasional visits to Hull and another visit to the Lion & Key. And, as before, we were not surprised. Both dishes we had were delicious as were the ales, and the bill represented excellent value for this very high standard of food. I'll repeat my previous comment as it's still totally true: this is where I have had absolutely the BEST fish and chips meal ever, anywhere. Outstanding.

If you are looking for a lovely pub with great pub food and decent range of beers and lovely service then this is the place. I had the Hull Chippy which had half a haddock, and a fried potato thing and with mushy peas. So bad for the heart but so tasty. My wife had 'half and half' for the first time with her chilli con carne. Brilliant idea.

A lovely and characterful pub in Hills old cobbled High St. Was recommended to go there for lunch by someone at a local museum I visited. It's an old and impressive building. You will see the inside by viewing my photos. It had a nice relaxed vibe and I received a friendly welcome from the young lady behind the bar. I ordered fish and chips for lunch, again please see photos. The pub had an excellent selection of ales,beers etc and an extensive range of spirits. Food came out in good time. Nice chunky piece of battered Haddock, chunky fries and mushy peas and a homemade tartare sauce which was really good. Along with a pint of lager shandy I spent £17. Their menu had vegetarian options plus there was a specials . Other meals I saw come out looked plentiful one being a curry .

The Lion and key is a fantastic pub. There is a good selection of cask conditioned real ales that you won't find anywhere else. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. The food is excellent, if you want to eat it's advisable to book as it gets very busy. There is an outside courtyard seating area, no pub games. A great friendly pub, not open Monday. Highly recommended.

We went The Deep and Lifestreet museum on Saturday. And we found this place. I checked Tripadvisor and there are so many good reviews. And the opposite pub lady recommended here too. So we just walked in. Fortunately we could have seat. It was amazing. Staffs are all very friendly and good services. Food were amazing. My partner had a cottage pie and I had a fish and chips. He told me the cottage pie was fabulous . My fish and chips was one of my best fish and chips I’ve ever had. Everything was perfect. Nice atmosphere, nice location and fantastic nostalgic interior as well. 10 out of 10. I definitely come back again and May be dinner time next.
