A good variation of beers with a rotation of guest beers, well kept and presented, and at a reasonable price. Other drinks obviously available but we only drink beer. A comfortable little pub, very well kept, and with a touch of history showing some of Goole's shipping heritage. We would recommend to family and friends. Handy for the railway station and a bus service.

Couldn’t ask for better when I’m working away on my own. Christine was inviting and made sure that even though I went up to my room and slept for a while she had a meal ready for me. I’ve never experienced that type is service in the 1000’s of hotels I’ve stayed in. She literally had a meal sorted for me after the kitchen closed because she was that inviting when I checked in that she knew I would prob not be back down immediately after work. Come to this place. Christine is Sound as F&£k.
5. Howden Minster

Lovely historic Minster plus ruins, still in use as the Town’s parish Church and the buildings under English Heritage’ care. Well worth a visit, although at present only outside unless you go to a service. Originally founded pre 1066, the buildings date from 1270-1320. The Prince Bishops of Durham (a great power in the medieval North) used Howden as their base to avoid the difficult journey to Durham, staying within reasonable reach of London. Henry VIII had a good go at it, which is the reason for the ruins! Howden is a pretty little historic town, well worth a wander and the Market Square shops sell a great ice cream!
