Fox & Coney Inn, South Cave

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.

The Wheatsheaf, Hull

Andy and Di are no longer at the Wheatsheaf, more's the pity. they moved to the Altisidora at Bishop Burton. The Wheatsheaf has had a few managers but none whose name us regulars even discovered. Lounge is now pretty devoid of any atmosphere at all. Still some Jenning guest ales. Food is pretty awful the last 2 times we tried it.

PROMINENTLY LOCATED ON THE CORNER OF WALTON STREET, next to the new KC stadium. This has been an important drinking house for many years - it was called the Newington (aft6er the area its in) until the 70s but alwasys jknown colloquially as Parkers after an old manager from many years back.
Originally a Moors & Robsons house, then a Bass house, it was run by legendary Hull pub host Percy Johnson at that time too.
In recent years its had a reputation as a hard drinking 2 bar operation, with the usual karaoke and frequent fighting. Now closed for renovation and due to open after easter 2007. Owned by Enterprise Inns, it as a few car parking places at the back.
