Carmine, my memory is not the most reliable part of me but was it you who dissed a Chinese eatery on here a couple of years ago only for the owner to sign up and take you to task. Ended up scoring a free meal?

It might have been Chazz mind.

Put me straight.

Two very good options close to Howden - The White Swan at Bubwith and The King's Head at Barmby on the Marsh. Both excellent for a relaxed family meal and both scoring consistently high review ratings. Well worth giving their websites a check.

I've looked at the White Swan menu and not too keen. Going to check out the Kings Head on Saturday. Cheers

We went to the King's Head a few weeks ago for the first time and the food was absolutely spot on.

I always wondered who in ****ting crikey eats those?

I’m not being a McDonald’s snob - I’m as partial to 2 quarterpounders with cheese as anyone - but I had a breakfast once and it was literally the ****test thing I have ever eaten. It was like different shaped polystyrene.
 
While we're discussing restaurants I need a good Chinese restaurant in or clos to Hull for a big birthday. Obviously want good food as well good atmosphere and child friendly (kids are 10 and well behaved) decent portions is always a plus.

I don't want to say where I'd normally go as don't want to influence any replies

Please no buffet all you can eat types

What do you expect? Even as a proud Englishman/Briton, I cannot deny that most Englishmen/Britons are ******ed. This is especially true when it comes to food.

People eat some real crap, including in some of the places mentioned in this thread. Just because somebody mixes some herbs with their broccoli they think it's Michelin-quality, because they're so used to eating bland, boiled-to-mush rubbish with powdery gravy made with ration-era style granules.

Also why do people say they're having a 'roast beef dinner' when it has in fact been baked until it so dry that it resembles Gandhi's proverbial flip-flop?

A pal of mine used to take his business clients to Loftsome Bridge but always uses the King's Head these days - we really love their "Yorkshire Tapas".

I'm after a bit of help please. I was supposed to be booking a meal for my mum's 70th and was looking at Loftsome Bridge just outside of Howden Unfortunately they're fully booked. Has anyone got any recommendations they can offer? I've got a party of 10 to sort out (including a 12 year old) in or around the Howden area but don't mind travelling in towards Hull if necessary.

Really after somewhere with a good selection of decent home cooked stuff in a nice setting.

Thanks for you help.

Well, tbf the judges decide if it’s Michelin quality.

I’ve been massively underwhelmed at some starred places and adored non-starred ones.
