Mill

You'll find this properly decent boozer on Holderness Road, and it's exactly what east Hull needed – a pub that takes its food seriously without losing its soul. The Sunday roasts here are genuinely excellent, with proper Yorkshire puddings that don't collapse the moment you look at them, and weekday comfort food that makes the trek from town centre absolutely worth it. The crowd's a proper mix of locals and families, especially at weekends when the car park fills up with people who've clearly driven across the city for dinner. Inside feels warm and unfussy – think solid wooden tables, decent lighting, and staff who actually seem to enjoy working there. They've got the balance right between being a proper pub and somewhere you'd happily bring your mum for lunch.
