About The Whittington & Cat
Anyone after a straightforward, budget-friendly base near Hull city centre will find The Whittington & Cat does the job well. It's a pub with rooms on Commercial Road in Kingston Retail Park, suited to travellers who want somewhere easy to reach, easy on the wallet, and close to the action rather than a destination in itself.
There are nine en-suite rooms, kept clean and comfortable, with drinks available to bring up and free WiFi throughout. Reception operates around the clock, so late arrivals aren't a problem. Downstairs, the restaurant and bar are the real draw, with home-cooked food including a Sunday roast and a long-standing favourite Chinese chicken curry, served in generous portions at reasonable prices, and staff are consistently described as warm and attentive.
The retail park setting puts golf, fishing and watersports within reach, along with other pubs, bars and restaurants nearby for those who fancy a change of scene. It's a practical choice for a night or two in Hull, built around good pub food and a friendly welcome rather than frills.

What guests say
The family went for Sunday lunch (6 adults 2 kids). Service was great, all the staff were attentive and so nice. Everyone really enjoyed the meals, and I felt we got really good value for money. We will certainly be going again. Parking in the retail park is 3hrs free. A bid thank-you to all the staff.

We celebrated our dad’s 90th birthday with Jill and her wonderful staff, and they made the day truly special. Jill is the best hostess — warm, welcoming, and nothing is ever too much trouble. Her curry went down an absolute storm; two family members even compared it to my late uncle’s famous curry, which is the highest praise our family can give. The venue was perfect, the atmosphere was lovely, and everyone had a fantastic day. Thank you, Jill, from the bottom of our hearts for helping us create such precious memories. Anjee & Jacky xx❤️❤️

Went for the Sunday roast as it was gluten free and it's amazing. I had the all roast meats roast and I got half a plate of roast meat and lots of broccoli, carrots, cabbage, peas, a Yorkshire pudding, mash and roast potatoes and gravy. It was all lovely, definitely recommend and will definitely go again.
