This super cute new baby massage group has opened in west Hull 🥰
This super cute new baby massage group has opened in west Hull 🥰
In a peaceful new space set up for parents and babies at the back of Springhead Golf Club, you’ll find Tiny Bambinos - a lovely, cosy space offering baby massage classes, designed to help parents bond with their little ones in a calm, stress-free environment.
With warm lighting, soft furnishings, and thoughtful touches, the space is perfect for mums and their little ones to relax and feel at home.
After owner Sam‘s baby was born at just 26 weeks and spent time in NICU, baby massage became her only way to connect with him, as he was inside an incubator the rest of the time. Now, she’s sharing that special experience with others!
Baby massage is packed with benefits for both the parents and baby; It helps to soothe colic, aids digestion, improves sleep patterns, and boosts bonding between parents and their baby.
Tiny Bambinos is a judgement-free zone where parents can unwind, chat, and enjoy precious moments with their baby.
Many of the parents who come along leave with new friendships that last long after the classes, and each class ends with opportunities for themed photos and other keepsakes too!
We love local independent businesses like Tiny Bambinos, so it’s always great to see more open in Hull!
You can sign up for the classes online; just look for Tiny Bambinos on our website hullwhatson.com, and don’t forget to subscribe to our free weekly newsletter to discover more like this in Hull and East Yorkshire!

This tucked-away gem on Beverley Road might have the most varied menu in Hull 🤩
At the end of last year, we paid a visit to Home, a stylish and cosy restaurant hidden in the corner by the bridge, opposite the old Cannon Junction. They serve fantastic food and cocktails, and host live music events that set the vibe for enjoying them!
We sampled a range of dishes, starting with the Spanish breakfast and tempura prawns, which were fresh and full of flavour. And this tasty platter with sausage and this delicious crunchy crispy fried bread was a generous spread - ideal for sharing (if you’re feeling generous)!
The mains were just as exciting. This Georgian cheese bread boat, an Adjarian khachapuri, was cheesy and comforting, and really fun to eat, while the pork BBQ skewers and pork medallions were cooked to perfection.
The beef UFO burger was a standout too - juicy and with tons of flavour, all packed into an easy-to-eat sealed burger.
We have to admit though, the beef Khinkali gave us all a laugh - as we all struggled to eat it without spilling the juice! It was as delicious as it was entertaining, rich and flavourful.
Dessert was the perfect end to the meal. The Viennese apple strudel was lovely, but the chocolate fondant? Absolutely delicious and a firm favourite.
With great cocktails, regular live music, and that warm, welcoming feel, it’s a place you’ll want to visit again.
We love Home and think you will too! You’ll find it on Beverley Road, opposite the old Cannon Junction.

First up is Drum & Cymbals on Whitefriargate! This vintage-style bar oozes charm, with handcrafted decor and a beautifully restored skylight. As well as a commitment to top-quality sound and local business, they also have a commitment to accessibility, including to those abstaining from alcohol. As such, they have a great selection of non-alcoholic drinks to enjoy while listening to the music or just enjoying the atmosphere!
Next up is The Brain Jar. It’s currently closed, but is reopening on 16th January. Famous for creative cocktails and delicious pizza, they also serve four incredible non-alcoholic cocktails; the Designated Diver, No-groni, Berry Limeade, and Death by Chocolate. Plus, if you’re skipping the concept of booze altogether, their tea and coffee selection is massive. It’s one of Hull’s cosy gems, with a perfect mix of chill and creative energy.
Finally, don’t skip Crown & Cushion on Trinity House Lane, which is also a part of Hull’s Low Ale Trail. Known for live music, twisted cocktails, craft beers, and real cider, they also have low and no-alcohol options to keep everyone happy while soaking up the Old Town’s atmosphere.

Next time you walk down Humber Street, here are some things that will make it a little more interesting 🤯
Humber Street is one of Hull's treasures, a colourful, diverse, and lively area that hosts a world-class collection of independent restaurants, bars, and shops, as well as some of the city's most popular events and creative spaces.
You may also have heard it referred to as the Fruit Market, and the reason behind this name goes way back into the city's history.
The earliest mentions of Hull's Fruit Market goes as far back as the 16th century, with Humber St specifically being designated as an extension to Hull's marketplace later in 1828.
Due to its proximity to the Humber Docks, it was an ideal spot for traders and was used for a variety of different markets over the decades, changing from fish to livestock, then to fruit around 1928 and onwards.
The 1st and 2nd World Wars unfortunately laid waste to many of the original structures and aerial bombardments, but the area was quickly rebuilt and the warehouses and establishments built there can still be seen today, with much of the original signage still intact.
The Fruit Market has embraced this heritage while transforming into one of Hull’s most vibrant districts, and it's keen to pay respect to its former life, so keep an eye out for remnants of the area's exciting past next time you visit!

La Cantina Mexicana on Newland Avenue offers a fresh take on Mexican street food. With a build-your-own menu of tacos, burritos, and quesadillas, plus mouth-watering toppings like braised beef and roasted picante chicken, it’s a vibrant spot for casual dining.
Bilocca, in the city centre, offers a premium dining experience with a twist - all dishes are prepared and served by talented college students. Their tasting menus, like the five-course launch evening, combine fine dining with a celebration of Hull’s maritime history.
Along Princes Dock Street, Patisserie House is an independent bakery and chocolatier serving up pastries, chocolates, and eco-friendly vibes. We loved their rich tarts, vegan croissants, and handcrafted chocolates with flavours like lemon thyme and dark chocolate caramel.
For live entertainment, Rio Music Bar on Silver Street is the new hotspot. With live bands, DJ sets, and tribute acts like Abba Revival, plus a two-tier stage for easy viewing, it’s a great addition to Hull’s nightlife.
Finally, on Boothferry Road, Olympus Greek Restaurant brings the flavours of Greece to Hull. From traditional moussaka and souvlaki to show-stopping Greek nights with live music and plate smashing, it’s a lively dining experience not to miss.

We bet you don’t know why Hull's telephone boxes are cream instead of the iconic British red! 🤔
In the past, telephone networks were managed by local councils, and without a set standard their boxes were all painted differently.
But as they became commonplace across Great Britain, the Post Office bought up the National Telephone Company and monopolized networks across the island, aiming to create a unified national service - which later became British Telecom, or BT!
After the local networks joined up, their booths were painted red to make them easier to spot, a crown was emblazoned to represent the British government, and the boxes became a British cultural icon.
Hull's network refused to sell though, and were allowed to stay separate after buying all National Telephone Company infrastructure in the city. As a result, Hull's network, which would later become KCOM, kept its cream-coloured boxes, some of which remain today.
Some are in disrepair, and others have been repainted to commemorate or show support for important events and causes. As a result, the original cream boxes are quite rare.
Because of this, 9 have been granted Grade-II listed status, to protect an important part of Hull's cultural identity from all being demolished, and to this day they remain a proud symbol of our city's heritage.

A Festive Day Out in Hull City Centre: Bargains, Pantos, and Fantastic Food
If you think Hull city centre has nothing to offer this Christmas and New Year, think again! 😉
Thanks to Visit Hull, we’re on a mission to highlight the big events, independent businesses, and incredible food spots that make it a brilliant day out.
We spent the day exploring everything from award-winning cafes to top-class theatres, independent shops, and exciting new venues, and it’s safe to say Hull’s got something for everyone.
We kicked off with brunch at Milchig in Paragon Arcade, where the food was absolutely elite—think crispy katsu salmon royale and toffee apple crumble French toast. Then, we headed to Hull Truck Theatre for The Borrowers, a clever, captivating production perfect for families, running alongside Rapunzel for younger kids.
The Prospect Centre was next for some Christmas bargains and a visit to Little Astronauts, a space-themed play centre the kids loved. For dinner, we hit the brand-new Pasco’s Italian in Old Town for calzones, wood-fired pizzas, and tender steaks that left us stuffed! We even tried the F1 racing sims at Federation of Sport previews before heading home.
Hull city centre is bursting with life this season, so let’s support our incredible local businesses and make it even better.
