The Manchester Arms, Hull

A Marstons pub where the interior doesn't live up to the promise of the exterior. There's a reasonable front bar in tongue and groove and a rather bland if comfortable rear lounge. Six pulls with Marstons stable beers in OK condition.

You enter into the bar area and are instantly in the way of the darts players, which is an unusual place to put a dart board. There's a lounge area at the rear with some comfortable seating and tables which is a pleasant place to sit. There are now 6 handpumps, all from the Marston's extended stable. My pint of Jennings Cocker Hoop was in good nick as was Ms CAMRA's Banks's Sunbeam. It's not a must visit in this part of town, as there's lots of competition, but it's improved quite a bit since I last visited about 6 years ago and is worth calling in for for one.

The Manchester Arms is in the old town area of Hull.It has quite a long room with the bar on the left there were 4 real ales on the bar all from the Marstons range these were Jennings Lakeland Stunner,Hobgoblin,Marstons Old Empire and a Wychwood beer.This pub opens around 2 in the afternoon.

A Marstons house with upto 4 Real Ales available. Opens at 4pm on weekdays.
