Superb food, one again. Three weeks into Debbie and Gee's new venture, I've sampled a good cross section of the menu, each and every one meeting what I consider fair but strict levels. With a range of fine beverages and other drinks, complimented by a great level of communication between many of Barton's more discerning pub regulars, whom since the relaunch of The Sloop have changed their "Home Port" to Waterside Road.
Great also, to meet a number of new residents to Barton whom have moved here over the past eighteen months whilst Covid has raged, and whom have chosen The Sloop as their favoured destination.
A lot now happening in Bartons "Waterside Area", plenty to explore including the Viking Way Cafe, the Ice Cream parlour, Andy Douse's farm, The Ropewalk, The Tileyard, the Riverside bird spotting Centre, nature reserves, and much much more, all worthy of exploration.
The Sloop is only some 500 yards south of Barton's transport interchange, regular buses (350) from Hull, Cleethorpes, Grimsby and Scunthorpe, with trains from Cleethorpes and Grimsby.

Read moreAs a veggy, it's hard to find decent food, but this warm and welcoming pub has plenty of options and vegan options too. The staff are polite and friendly, the owner can't do enough for you. The atmosphere is friendly. Love the nautical decor. I had a carrot and paprika soup, which was honestly one of the most delicious I've ever had. My partner who is vegetarian also, had potato and garlic which was equally as delicious. For my main I had a quorn jalfrezi, which was an impressive size, fresh and delicious, my partner had a quorn hot pot, which was huge! He loved it, but couldn't finish it! There are a variety of beers for those that love ale, I had a Stowford's cider, not readily available in other pubs, so was pleased that it wasn't bog standard (in my opinion, horrid) Strongbow! We waddled off home to take a walk past the river and stomp off a bit of our bulge for a walk under the Humber Bridge. I highly recommend this pub and especially for my my veggy and vegan friends or strangers! Thank you to the owner and...
Read moreCame to Barton visiting a family member. Travelled by public transport from west Yorkshire and was looking for a dog friendly place to eat before I left for the journey home, after posting on a local group asking for recommendations because when I was searching lots of places wasn't open mondays or didn't do food that day, the sloop was mentioned alot. I have photos of being in the sloop from 35years ago with my nana ivy Salter and arty my grandad who often went in has they lived waterside road, so it was strange to see it in its updated modern self. Old memories stay in your mind I guess, but its extremely clean and looks like brand new, lovely that they have a small but varied variety of vegetarian food and I did ask for extra gravy (like my food swimming in the stuff lol) that was no problem at all. Food was nice and my dog fell asleep so she was obviously relaxed. My uncle enjoyed his food too. Designated area to eat with your dog with you. I'd definitely go again but couldn't if there was many other dogs...
