Howdy!

It's POTW time, and this time I've stopped for a bite to eat and a bevvy in Paull. Despite the village only having a small population, and being a single street until the 20th century, I was still spoilt for choice as there are actually 3 pubs in Paull, the Crown, the Royal Oak and the Humber Tavern. After studying, in detail, the food available in each stablishment, I chose to try out the Humber Tavern.

Howdy!

This weeks POTW is a real family pub in Hedon called The Haven Arms... but, the clever folk reading this will already have realised that from the title of the blog!

It was a miserable, cold and frosty Sunday morning, made twice as bad by the night before. Whilst thinking of cures I decided I needed a pick me up and what better than a hearty Sunday roast?

For this weeks pub of the week, we take a trip to Hornsea, and after much deliberation we decided to choose The Victoria on the Market Place, but don't worry Pike & Heron and Rose & crown, I love pubs, so it's only a matter of time before I stop by.

Hello you!

It's been a while, but in the run up to Christmas I thought I'd start up my pub of the week again, well I though you might need some ideas of places to celebrate in!

My first pub in this batch is the award winning Walters, a gem of a bar on Scale Lane in Hull's old town.

About Walters

The pub takes it name from a barber's shop which traded at the same premises in the 1820s, sometime later it became Venn brasserie where you could buy a tiny piece of steak for about 25 quid... and I was stupid enough to do so!

Happy Birthday Seaside FM

So, Seaside FM has just celebrated its second Birthday, and in the last 2 years many changes have taken place and many colourful characters have passed through its doors. Some went onto bigger and better things in radio, some moved away and others realised it just wasn't for them. With this in mind I couldn't resist taking a look back over 2 years of broadcasting to Holderness with a special birthday blog...
