Off Topic Hull City Centre Public Realm Strategy

Thanks for all the suggestions, appreciate it!

 

I read in HDM that Criterion on Hessle Road has been smartened up and reopened. Anyone dared to go in yet?

 

Yep, the cops!

 

4.4 out of 5 stars on Google reviews....

 

Was that the guide for local fencers?

 

Crown and Anchor by the River Hull in Tickton re-opening too in mid July. Been closed since New Years Day this year. Always good news when a proper pub re-opens.

 

My local, and opening just in time for the good weather

 

Do they still have the shuttle board in there? I recall pre Covid, having a very competitive game versus DBT.

 

Was it over the next round?

 

That’s not usually an issue, we usually have them lined up.

 

Took one for the team and went in for a recce a few months ago and it wasn’t back then.

Had a couple in case I’d missed it by only having a casual glance…

 

didnt realise it had closed…

 

Closed for some time a while back and re-opened after a time. Then closed again just after Tickton Tiger had mover there and was expecting it to be his local. He will be a happy man now.

 

I've always wondered why that pub seems to struggle, its a fantastic little location

 

Trouble is it's too far from the main part of the village and it's down a road with no streetlights. Not enough people from the village frequent the place, just those around BATA. If they do decent food (which apparently the new owners do) they may attract more passing trade and people who walk their dogs to Eske

 

Used to pop in for a meal now and then. Trouble was I have to drive to get there so can’t drink. The pitfall of having a wife who doesn’t drive. Can’t beat a river or canal side setting for a pub.

 

Why, can your wife swim?

 

Drink driving laws

No one should drink drive, the law is right, but the outcome is that country pubs on roads without a large population centre struggle

 

We’ve popped in a couple of times thinking it would be a lovely spot for a pint overlooking the river. Unfortunately, just sat looking at some old tatty boats. It could be a lovely spot.
