Great pub for the real ale conneseur (sp?). Nice to find a place that sells real ale correctly i.e. not chilled like mass produced lager! Always a good selection incorporating the big names and the less well known ales. Ales change frequently which isalso good. Nice, safe, quiet place to while away an afternoon or quiet evening, friendly and welcoming, would say "cosy" rather than "small". Tends to attract a set of regulars but they are welcoming to new faces.
No idea of the quality of food having not eaten there but always smells nice.

Stayed in Hull, visited Hop & Vine twice, wasn't impressed.

For starters, *when* it is open, they tend to open late, or at least did on my first visit. Then once I was let in, there were problems pulling my ale. Eventually, I enjoyed something called Holderness Mild. Although I left soon after as there was/is an awkward atmosphere.

On my second visit, the girl behind the bar told me they had ran out of everything I asked for and couldn't change it. I left, unhappy. Shoddy.

There are much better places to visit when in Hull, and from what I can see, places that are much more worthy winners of awards such as 'pub of the year'. Incidentally, it turns out that the guy that runs it is high up in the local branch of camra - who'd have thunk it?! A fix? i think so.

Seems to win endless awards from CAMRA, but most times I've visited, I've been the only customer. Been in a few times to find no-one serving, other times just me & the landlord looking at each other. Pity, because I love small, downstairs bars. Just seems a trifle lacking in atmosphere. Maybe I go at the wrong times.

Been in a few times and always been a bit disappointed, as it has never quite matched up to the billing. Only ever had a couple of beers on when I've visited (presumably because the rest have been drunk, so fair enough), which have been ok, but the pub itself has been stuffy and humid, a bit grotty, not especially friendly and virtually empty. The tiny outside seating area is a disgrace, the grubbiness giving a bad impression from the off. Could be much more of an asset.

The local camra seem to love it, but after giving it a few chances I'm struggling to see why. I can see what they're trying to do, but it doesn't seem to be working very well when I go there.

Very well worth a visit. Small cellar pub, but well kept ales and friendly host. The food is freshly made and very tasty. An excellent places for some quiet beers or a sandwich at lunchtime.
