Even safe for non-vegetarians
Hitchcocks is not the most beautiful or stylish restaurants in the world or even in Hull, but it is certainly one of the friendliest. Its atmosphere changes with the customer-nominated menu, but the essential constants are as follows:
- Excellent value
- Good food
- Friendly service
- Unswerving vegetarianism
- A willingness to attempt any kind of food, no matter how ludicrous or superficially unappealing
The restaurant is all you can eat, and, happily, this generosity extends to the puddings, which, equally happily, are drawn from a stock list of cakes and ice creams, and are not as heavily influenced by the particular style of the evening as the other courses; much though I wish to sample new dishes, pudding should be and is sacrosanct.
Hitchcocks is well worth a visit for anyone in or around Hull, even without any dead animals on offer.
