The Sailmakers Arms in Kingston upon Hull, City of

I'll be honest wasn't keen on going, l wanted to go to Redsails. But my friend persuaded me. I'm glad l tried it because the chicken pis was absolutely lovely. Really enjoyed it. Lovely calm atmosphere. Lovely quirky pub. The pies are 10/10. ❤️❤️❤️

Pies to die for. Perfectly roasted veg and dreamy dauphinonoise potatoes. Great atmosphere even when not busy, which is not very often.

Great pub, staff are always on the ball landlord is a great guy has time to talk to you thanks Dennis for another great day, night

Nice pub fair prices. Didn't really have any dark beers which are My preference but that's me not the pub

Lovely place...no loud music or sports, the TV had a lovely video showing Hull past and present. The food was lovely would definitely recommend.

Great ambiance, Piemister pie was good and plenty of other choices. First pint was a dodgy one but they were quick to offer alternative. Was quite busy compared to other pubs in area - clearly a favourite amongst locals.

Very nice pub unique in its own check out the watches

Great place and a great beer garden. (Although it was better in the 90's with the Chipmunks running around 😁😁)

Brilliant pub, great atmosphere a real gem.

Food amazing not a crumb left and very friendly great service well worth a visit

Pieminister lovelyness. Well worth a visit if you never been before, and if you have still worth a visit. Great food, competitive prices and pet friendly. Might even get a dog for my next visit.

A little expensive, but absolutely delicious. Will definitely return.

Just nipped in for a quicky will be going again food next time

Good pub, good real ale, grub, pub dog very welcoming. Good experience all round

Quiet.drink a bit warm.but was mostly ok

We were greeted by a calm, friendly labrador that clearly loves the attention he receives. The 3 of us has pies, 2 of us had the beef and blue cheese filling the other had venison. All pies were served in a small enamelled dish, personally I would have preferred a plate as it did mean that everything was piled on top of itself. All were served with mash and a choice of vegetables. The bar staff were knowledgable and there were quite a few groups of people that called in for lunch. They have a good selection of ales and have a 5 star cask marque, which indicates that the beer is well kept. I am sure we will return.

Yes nice polite and quiet pub clean service good outside seating to in summer

Located in the charming Old Town area, Sailmaker Arms stands out as a delightful pub, boasting a welcoming atmosphere and an excellent choice of beers. The friendly and knowledgeable staff enhance the experience, making each patron feel like a regular. Whether you’re there for the diverse range of ales and lagers or just to soak in the cozy ambiance, Sailmaker Arms is a gem worth visiting for anyone seeking a good time in a classic setting.

Great pub with a lovely atmosphere. The steak and ale pie was lovely! Bonus to meet the resident dog too ☺️

Great pub, good atmosphere and outside area. Will definitely visit again.

Great and cozy place , lovley owners and staff , made to feel very welcome , highly recommend

Love the place, great food, nice atmosphere inside and outside in the courtyard. Worth visiting. X

Lots of good 0% drink options, lovely pub.

Been here twice with the family and had great food both times .

Had a great time with friends in this pub just b4 Xmas, great music, great atmosphere and place rammed, can't post on food didn't have any

This place has been a really great place to relax with a dog. It's not hard to find a pub in Hull but some do food better than others. It's all down to having expenses for ingredients going off when you have to much in stock, versus not having enough to offer the feeling of variety. What the clever establishments do is that they learn to specialise in one or two dishes, and do then to the best of their ability, so they can keep prices reasonable. The Sailmaker Arms have done this to an expert level with the humble Northern Englishman's delicacy that is the oven baked pie 🥧 They have homemade style pies that they may part-bake and/or freeze. The pie is such a simple staple food of the working class. It's also trendy and hipster, especially with the fantastic fulfilling fillings that include seasonal offerings with all the pies sporting interesting cute names. Now there is a reason I use three paragraphs to write about the pies. They are the sort of food that most of us that have lived North of Birmingham know all too well since they are nutritionally balanced and reasonably priced, but have upmarket options. I live with one of those Southern heathens who have not tried pies and who see gravy as a rarity. She will not eat anything with pastry but even she will have a try of these and always enjoyed them. They come with gravy, sweet potato, fries, cheesy chips, mash, peas, broccoli, carrots, and many other traditional options for accoutrements to the pie. Coupled with a reasonably priced pint and a selection of decent enough ales, and a layout that allows privacy for intimate dining, as well as large gatherings. The place also offers a massive function room upstairs that can be hired as needed. There are simpler snacks like crisps and that little extra of chocolate bars and pot noodle, nuts and pretzels. The menus changes summer to winter to summer. Ice cream in slightly too small tubs were good enough to make me happy. I'm a "whole 400g tub to be happy" man but I would buy three of the little 150g to get me there. Small farm style carried on the theme of supporting local businesses. Staff are warm and pleasant enough to talk to everyone without being awkward - which is a good skill when you are a young person in a place that attracts drunks now and then. Here's the bad news: they don't have a good feedback system. The two times I have had something go wrong, they have gone and done the worst thing anyone in customer service can do: they deny that the issue is valid. First occasion was when my beloved ice cream was noted to have lots of ice crystals on the inside not just the outside. They actually tried to tell me that this was normal and then they said that they had never had any complaints before. I ended up walking away after an awkward silence instead of what good customer service would do which is treat the customer as always right (since they are paying and not all complaints are made by narcissistic people or Karen's / Kevin's of this world making unreasonable demands to get some free food) and because the value is in keeping your customer happy so they not only return to spend more money, but so they speak highly and tell you the issue rather than taking it online. This stuff is basic for the likes of me who travelled throughout the country especially around London. They would not dream of arguing with the customer. My friend was actually a manager at McDonald's and they have respect for all complaints even when they seem slightly excessive or fraudulent. It's why they have their doors bursting. Anyways that's the rant I have built up for months since this happened. It stopped me going daily and I looked elsewhere. Especially with the second issue which was my favourite sweet potato fries tasting of what I can only think of as "hand cream" or some other lotion designed to moisturise hands and not to be consumed. It's also sickening to think the kitchens do not have any health and safety procedures especially regarding hand washing. So that's the good and the bad. Check it out for yourself soon!

Excellent as always. Love coming to Sail when I'm in Hull.

Fabulous pub, great selection of drinks, friendly staff and nice atmosphere! Cannot comment on the food as never eaten here

I must admit, I was slightly intoxicated when I visited. 😂 The place was heaving and had a superb atmosphere at 4.30pm on a Saturday. We were lucky enough to find an outdoor booth but sadly the heater didn't work. But it wasn't cold so no real dramas. Erm, I remember seeing a good array of handpumps and spirits, but couldn't tell you what was on. 🙈🤣 However, the double Kraken and coke drinks went down a treat. Will definitely call back in at the start of a day out and maybe try the food. It looked and smelt divine, but as eatin' is cheatin' we didn't try it this time, midway through an 'Old Town' crawl.

I was in a party of 16. We were dealt with efficiently and pleasantly. The food was amazing. The prices were good. The staff were lovely. Been some time since I was last here. I forgot how good it is. Thankyou.

Excellent service from Dennis and his team. The food is fresh and the pies are the best.

Absolutely gorgeous food great pub..Fantastic staff well worth a vist

Smashing pub with great food and beer garden on the high street in old Hull.

Sat outside only ones as it was cold but just a lovely day. Good service.

Great pub with a fab selection of drinks and friendly staff.

Lovely pub with great atmosphere and character, including the gorgeous dog Toby. 🐶 Friendly staff and would definitely return but sadly live a long way away ☹️ Would recommend 👍

Fantastic location, dog friendly and food is great and consistent . Aaaand fish tanks . What more can I say . Staff are friendly and efficient and atmosphere is lovely .

Great little traditional boozer friendly staff and atmosphere with cruz campo on draught what a bonus !! The best lager from Spain 🇪🇸 imo..

Sat in the beer garden in November for steak and ale pie with a pint of cider.

First class good great staff great value

Great pub, surroundings and atmosphere

Lovely pub, wonders done to an already great beer garden in 2023. Everything top marks, the pub (inside and out) the choice of drinks, especially ciders, the area (old town), only thing I have not tried is the food. Staff are always friendly, and a lovely Dog called Toby, who comes up to me every time I go there.

The menu is quite limited but some good options. I had the cheese and pulled pork baguette and a pint of Pepsi. The baguette was really lovely and well-filled. Only wish that there were more crisps! Really enjoyed my meal and would recommend. The pub is cosy and intimate inside.

Great pub, lots of choice, excellent service very comfortable. Highly recommended. Heated umbrella outside, bliss. Loved the pie and the scampi was terrific too. What a fantastic pub, highly recommend the hot dog too

Lovely pub, good food and beer 🍺

Thanks Sailmakers for making our evening wedding reception a memorable one,every body had a great time.The buffet was lovely,great service,dj played music every one liked! Would highly recommend,, Kylee and Andy.

Great many craft beers I haven't seen before... cool place with super dog friendly. Try pies!!

Excellent choice of Real Ales and Ciders but the pie and chips was terrible, 8 under cooked oven chips each and a pie with hard as rock pastry which I think my chainsaw would have struggled cutting through it, with the tiniest pot of gravy,and to top it off the young barmaid who was serving behind the bar looked as miserable as hell, with just a hard frown on her face which made you feel really welcome,(Not), nearly £24 for 2 rock hard pies and oven chips, we will stick to 3 John's in future

Great service, great food and attentive staff within a beautiful little hidden gem of a pub. Would love to come back again.

Great place to visit, nice setting, nice staff. Would visit again.

Lovely drops of alcohol and food is banging

Lovely pub. Friendly team. Upstairs room, beautiful and perfect for private parties. Food could have been served a little faster.

Went for a family meal, food was amazing we all enjoyed it. Staff so friendly great service, and a great price to

Fantastic family run pub with polite and helpful staff. Quirky little stop off.

Lovely friendly staff, usually struggle to find food for me but here was a wide range of choice. Definitely recommend and will be returning

Used to love coming here but not no more it has gotten very expensive and doesn't have a great choice

Great pies, beer and friendly staff!

We stopped in for a cold drink after a day visiting the museum s which are just beside the pub. Nice courtyard to sit in.

Always a lovely place to visit 😊 great to sit outside

Great pub. Old rosie ciders are fantastic. Pie's delicious. Dogs welcome. Really friendly staff.

Great place good service although a little warm upstairs

Great place to drink with a nice atmosphere and no idiots.

It's okay. Looks good but the bar area was packed when we visited and the staff were clearly pushed which showed! Had a sour pint and it was switched without any hassle though.

Brilliant pub with quirky interior. Great atmosphere from the moment that we entered and a solid drinks range.

Not a large chain and has a proper pub feeling with quick service.

Another great pub in the old town ! Service with a 😃 and first class ales

Nice boozer. Definitely for the boys

Really friendly staff and fabulous food. Eaten here twice now and both times been really good.

Leuke bar waar we voor de overtocht naar Rotterdam een erg lekker en vers worstenbroodje aten.

Lovely place set in the old town. Friendly staff and customers would recommend

very good food, helpful & friendly staff

Great place overall. Food was tasty, fast service and reasonably priced.

Lovely little pub. nice outside seating (about 8 tables). They always have great ales and ciders. The food is lovely, and includes offerings from Minster pies too, bonus. Jjust been in for Lunch, the festive menu looks fab, and I can recommend the bacon, brie, and cranberry baguette, top scran!

Good food, good beer, pleasant staff. 10 out of 10.

Quite and lovely place. Good for relax and take a bear.

Nice enough pub but only mainstream real ales think Doom Bar the pies are from Pieminster Bristol so not local plenty of lagers and Rosie's for the conformists.

Attend a 40th birthday here had a great night

Really enjoy it in this pub go in for drinks, but going to have to try the food

Not interested in serving you,waited 10 mins to be served and left.

The best pie I've eaten for ages! Definitely worth another visit to test a different pie!

Great pub, lovely pies! Staff went above and beyond to help with our dairy free and gluten free allergy

Retirement do in the upstairs room, good size, good food and drink, good company, nice staff 🙂

Great pub I often regrettably forget about. Definitely worth a visit. Cosy atmosphere, good selection of beers and ciders and pleasant clientele.

As always a good place to visit with plenty of choice of ales, staff are always polite and welcoming

Great food and gf options too I love it here

Lovely outside courtyard, good food and real Ales available. We'll worth a visit.

Another hidden gem in the Old Town on Hull's High Street. The food is excellent and the beer and other drinks well received. If you're lucky to meet Toby the dog don't believe his big brown eyes, he's well fed and doesn't need your dinner

The sale makers Arms in High Street is in an old sale makers building hence the name. It has a nice Courtyard in the front with a lot of outdoor seating. The inside is one large spacious Room, there's also a large room upstairs for functions. The hand pulled cask conditioned real ale is absolutely top notch, a good choice and always great quality the pub is run by the same people who have the Black Boy about a hundred yards away on the same side of High Street. The pub is very popular especially at weekends. The Old Town is the go-to destination now for City drinkers.

Pot noodle and a pint available. Really beaut inside. Friendly dog too!

The Sailmakers Arms is, without question, one of the finest public houses in all of Kingston upon Hull. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the owner is a gentleman, the garden is cosy and sheltered (Ideal for drinking in all weather conditions). The selection of beverages available is excellent. A wide variety of larger, ale and stout including an in house special selection pale ale (Toby's Tipple, named after the host's pet and closest friend Toby, a delightful chocolate labrador). For those seeking something stronger, the spirit selection is well suited for all tastes and the wine selection is modest but covers the spectrum of flavours one would expect. The food menu is perfect for all seasons and times of day. A range of hot and cold food as well as a selection of meals both large and small no matter your appetite at the time. In summary, this is a location well worth visiting if you ever find yourself in need of refreshment while shopping or simply exploring in the city centre!

The sail makers pot noodle blew my mind

Absolutely my favourite place in hull. Pies are delicious with lots of options
