Located in the heart of Hessle, East Yorkshire, The Marquis of Granby is a welcoming, traditional British pub known for great beer, friendly faces, and a warm, community atmosphere. Steeped in history dating back to the 18th century, this much-loved local blends period charm with modern comfort, making it a favourite gathering spot for both locals and visitors.
Named after John Manners, the Marquis of Granby — a celebrated 18th-century army officer renowned for his generosity toward his troops — the pub has proudly carried the name since the early 1800s. Originally a coaching inn, it served travellers journeying between Hull and northern towns such as Selby and Manchester. Historic records even reference the site’s own brewhouse, giving it deep roots in Yorkshire’s brewing heritage.
While it has evolved over time, the building retains much of its Georgian character, with cosy corners, wooden beams, and a traditional multi-room layout that creates a sense of intimacy and nostalgia. Inside, the pub offers three distinct trading areas, each with its own atmosphere — ideal for socialising, watching live sport, or simply enjoying a quiet pint by the fire.
The Marquis of Granby hosts a well-loved weekly pub quiz, as well as bingo nights, live music, and seasonal events, all of which reinforce its reputation as a lively community pub in Hessle. It’s also proud to support local initiatives, including a Veterans Breakfast Club, and continues to welcome families, locals, and four-legged friends alike.
