Most Disliked
Some visitors have noted the need for renovations to maintain the vintage charm of the establishment. While the ambiance is casual, certain patrons feel that it could benefit from an update to attract a broader audience. A few customers expressed disappointment that the original Bob Carver’s is no longer operating, wishing for its return to provide even more history and tradition to this location. Additionally, while the prices are generally reasonable, some diners feel that certain items might be slightly overpriced compared to similar establishments. Lastly, during peak times, wait times may increase, which can be a concern for those looking to grab a quick meal.

We really enjoyed this place. We sat in the restaurant area at the back and had our family meal. The staff were lovely and the food, drinks & tea were great. All reasonably priced too. Thanks.

As part of a Hull food tour, my Southern friend had never had patty before, so we shared one along with some fish fingers. Deep-fried delights!

Best chippy in Hull, came from Scarborough to get one of their famous patties and took another five home! Curry sauce is lovely too with a kick of spice and no sultanas, the way it should be.

It's a shame about the original Bob Carver's. It just needs doing up exactly like it. Then reopening again. But the patties from the other one are lovely. Batter and breaded.
