Off Topic Hull City Centre Public Realm Strategy

I stay clear of their website. It has more unwelcome traffic than the A63

 

Have you ever tried Seaways café at Fridaythorpe. Good fry-up and always busy with bikers. Used to be a regular stop before I had to let the GSX go.

 

I have mate, we go a couple of times every season; they do as good a sausage and egg sarnie as you'd get anywhere

 

Two gingers in paragon arcade. It's hip without being pretentious hipster.

Some good stuff going on in paragon arcade.

Caffienated in the indoor market. Sometimes have city fan related flyers so that's an extra tick.

Indoor market food hall is also thriving. I recommend the Greek stall. Just need to beat the queues.

Most of the good independents get all their beans from the blending room, s9 not much between them.

And as for the margins on coffee. Costs them pennies per cup and they charge 2-3 plus quid.

 

Of course out of the 2-3 quid there are the small matters of business rates, which can be eye watering, water rates, rent, electricity, staffing costs, raw materials, VAT etc...to be taken out.

 

If you like good home cooking the Granary Cafe at Bell Mills Garden Centre,Driffield is worth a visit for lunch if passing through that way. Never had anything less than excellenf there.

 

Turns out crasher was a TWOCer from the city of Robin Hood, been listening to too many Bob Marley songs and not reading his koran.

Hang 'em high.

 

Definitely agree this. They also run the bar in Humber Street Gallery. Top coffee

 

The Old Tile Works cafe just over Humber Bridge does the best homemade steak pie I've ever had.
This is my mum tucking in to one.

 

I always feel steak pie goes better with chips.
Not arguing with your mam tho.

 

What the ****'s that green stuff near the pie?

 

Well spotted ernie. Got me stumped too. Anyone??

Distinct lack of. Gravy on the plate too.

 

Do you get Leffe with that ??

 

Don't they have exotic things like broccoli in Hull?

 

Of course, same as everywhere else that has a product with a markup nowt like that on a cup of coffee.

A good independent coffee shop do alright. **** ones don't.

 

Seems a dead easy way of making money. Everyone should open one.

 

That's probably why the number of coffee shops has more then doubled in the last 10 years...

 

I wish

 

I had chips with mine.
Gravy came in a separate jug.
My mum doesn't like gravy.
It's a steak pie, loads of steak in it, no gristle.
