I had visited the café before just for coffee, which is very nice, and they have a choice of oat or soy milk. People were friendly and it is a lovely place with a range of artworks exhibited inside (paintings, sculptures, ceramic...) Nice to sit outside, it is dog-friendly and people of all ages were enjoying the sun. This time we went for lunch. I picked their dish of the day for £12. It was a Chinese stir-fry which "can be made vegan". When it arrived it was simply shredded vegetables (carrot, cabbage, bean sprouts) bathing in very sweet soy sauce. No cards, no protein of any sort. I was hoping for mushroom, tofu, or noodles...! They did bring a small ramequin of Chinese crackers. I asked for some more and they did bring them promptly. My mum enjoyed her Greek filo pastry dish which was veggie (with cheese and leek) and came with some salad and coleslaw. That cost only £7.50. We were a bit confused about such a difference in price! As I was still hungry we got some cakes. They had two vegan options: lemon or ginger cake. My lemon cake was tasty but pretty dry - I couldn't finish it. My mum enjoyed her coffee cake. I will be back for the art and the coffee but won't have food there, unless they work on...
Read moreI visited here with my father and my partner, while on a trip to Hull. I didn't know what to expect as I'd never heard of it.
It has a beautiful craft shop with lots of pieces by local artists. There is also a gallery showing showing lots of beautiful works, and some studio space.
The museum is okay, it's more of a corridor with history about the building, different types of rope, and the business, which was pretty interesting. I think it's probably a stretch to call it a museum.
The cafe was great, it was busy and the staff were very friendly. They had two vegan options for cake which was nice, and had alternatives to cows milk so we didn't have a problem ordering vegan options. I couldn't see if there were any savoury vegan options but there was a salad bar so I think they could have accommodated us. The cafe was accessible, and looking at the upcoming events, looked like it had a great programme of comedians, bands, and guests on throughout the year.
It's a really nice place to spend an hour or so, and it's close to the Humber Bridge, and nice to have a wander along the river and blow away...
