Xanders of Newland ave Hull

On Saturday 19th we went to see the beat at the Pipers club on Newland ave , before the gig we went for a few drinks in Xanders which is just a few doors away. On walking in it was quite full of people eating and drinking and the food smelt that good even though we was full it was tempting to order something (of course we didn't, we  are not that greedy). While we were there seeing some of the food that came out we decided a visit was needed.
So on Wednesday we took the children for a visit, it is a cosy place to go for a meal and staff were very welcoming and talked us through the specials board of which they have a Wednesday steak special , when you buy two steaks, 8oz, 10oz or 16oz you get a £20 bottle of  wine free. We have two 10oz porterhouse steaks at £11.50 each , £23 including the bottle of wine, which was very nice. steak cooked how we wanted them , not fatty nor chewy but absolutely gorgeous with ample chips, onion rings, mushrooms and tomatoes (sauces are an added extra which we didn't go for ). The children ordered chicken and ribs £8.95 , and chicken cheese burger £6.75, both were gorgeous and plenty on their plates. The chicken  burger came in a nice rustic bun which for a 13year old lad, would expect him to want an ordinary burger but he loved it and finished the lot. The chicken and ribs filled most of the plate, it had plenty of sauce on ribs and the chicken was nice and moist, also the corn on the cob which accompanied this dish was the best (stated by our 17year old daughter)  again this was finished and enjoyed so much, they would love to go back again. After the children had seen the puddings on special board, we ordered one sticky toffee pudding with custard and three baileys cheesecakes with cream at £2.75 each (large portions), these were absolutly gorgeous and we ate them even though we were full from our main course ( I can heartily recommend the visit if only for the baileys cheesecake).
Overall the place was very welcoming, staff were very friendly and helpful and the food and presentation of the food  was excellent and price wise it was good value for money.
We recommend Xanders of Newland ave.
