Have lived in Hull for years, but only just discovered this gem ! I'm depressed it's taken me this long to find it! Superb range of beers. If I didn't love real ale so much, I would be able to spend a very long time, (and a lot of money) enjoying the huge range of continental lagers in the giant walk in fridge, visible from the bar. And not forgetting Bernard, my favourite Czech beer from a visit to Prague, and now available on draught (for the first time in the UK) from this pub. :-)

But all of this is set aside for the main event of may be 8 hand pulled beers, from cider to mild, porters and light ales. They change after every beer, so if you find oneyou like, you best enjoy it, because it may not be around for long! A tour de force in exploring the heritage of our national drink!

It took a long time to find, but I'll make sure I make up for it in the future! Brilliant pub. 6 real ales yesterday: Ossett IPA and Silver Fox, Leeds Midnight Bell, Abbeydale Absolution, Tetley and one they came on just as we were leaving. Draft Maredsous 8, Erdinger, St Louis Kriek and a Czech beer Bernard. Over 70 bottled Belgians together with German and US beer.

Was quiet when we got in at about 12.30 on Saturday afternoon, filled up with football supporters home and away.

A must visit.Went here for a couple of pre-match Sunday lunchtime pints before heading to the rugby and found it better than ever since the introduction of the smoking ban. Glentworth Donny Star (a light hoppy best bitter) came on tap just before I had to leave; I managed to squeeze in a half and it was nectar.

One of my favourite pubs in the country at the moment.

Made my annual pilgrimage here recently. The OBB had gone up to £1-39 a pint. Scandalous!Fantastic pub ..... A real time machine of a place, I can imagine it hasn't changed much in 50 years ..... love the smell of the old gas lamps that illuminate the place ( thankfully Brothers health and safety have missed this one ) Great Samuel Smiths beer too !Went back recently 20 years after it was a regular University watering hole.

Still as brilliant as it was then, except even better for all the little rooms not being filled with smoke!!

One of my top 10 pubs in UK.

Original interior and a great range of real ales, well kept. Dark and dingy, just like a proper olde pub! Ace. This is everything a pub should be (except that it's in Hull). A first class selection of Real Ales, whiskies and fruit wines. The landlord is a top bloke too. In fact, this pub is the best thing about the city of Hull.An outstanding traditional pub! I love everything about this place which is why it's been my usual haunt for the last three years!

Mine's a pint of Old Rosie please. Bet you can't drink more than six. I've only ever managed to drink five myself but that's more than most people can take.

Love it! Great staff, friendly regulars, best choice/quality in drinks and the Black Boy has an intriguing history. Ask the locals about the ghost stories!

Love it!

The food here is really rather wonderful, plentiful portions with much choice and all cooked fresh. If you want the English pub experience I would definately recommend the Barnes Wallis. The beer festivals are always worth going along to with excellent local bands as entertainment. It deserves its recently awarded title of CAMRA's Winter Pub of the Season. 10 stars all round!Amazing, thats the only word that can be described for the food in this pub! I have just enjoyed a 18 oz steak cooked to perfection, with home made onion rings and home made chips where a delight! A fabulous pint of Rutland Panther topped off a excellent family day out, with my young child enjoying home made chicken goujeans and my other child enjoyed the home made pizza that was on the menu...this is just a fabulous little pub that I would reccomend to ANYONE!!!! that comes near by....what a great pub!Great Little pub, just outside Howden. The Ever changing Guest beers from local micros, well worth it's CAMRA good beer guide listing & winter country Pub of the Season. The food is excellent, probably the best Sunday Lunch around for miles. Just moved into the area and enjoyed the beer festival that was held last week, Looking forward to the Summer Beer festival, what will be in July/August. Well worth a visit, find out more on their web site www.barneswallisinn.com

Came in out of the fog yesterday. Pool room out back and reasonable room in a slighyly shabby front bar. On the board they had Summer Lightning, Tetley, Roosters Yankee and Old Mill Mild but only the last two were on.

Handy for a pint on the way from the ground to the station but nothing special.The place itself is a bit grotty, could do with a good refurbishment. The beer however is very well kept and their regular Roosters Yankee is excellent.
As someone else commented, very much a local's local but still a welcoming feel and some real 'local characters' to observe whilst enjoying your pint!This is in the Good Beer Guide for 2008, but after visiting I'm not sure why. It's an average pub that had three ales on (although there were more taps) and basic decor. Loses a mark for having the football on far too loudly; I don't object to pubs that show sport, but you shouldn't be able to hear the TV from one room in the next one when you're after a quiet drink.

Fox closed down today, the operator company has also closed 3 other pubs. Owners looking for a new operator.

That leaves South Cave with just one pub (the Bear, opposite) and the Triton in nearby Brantingham.Called in for lunch on Saturday. Nice lively pub. Friendly staff and a good atmosphere. Timmy Taylor's Landlord was good as was the food.Friendly and helpful staff, decent beer, reasonably priced nice food, pleasant locals, in a thriving village. A worthy stop off on the hull to goole road!
