    Interesting place, lovely cafe.
    An interesting little find! Although I live locally, I had not visited here before. My friend and I had an enjoyable visit. We explored the museum, learned all about the rope industry and saw the fascinating artefacts. We also viewed the displayed artworks and spoke with one of the artists. There is a lovely little shop selling hand crafted items and art too. We enjoyed a tasty lunch in the busy little cafe. A very enjoyable few hours.

    All in all a very good cafe and really excellent staff.
    The food choices are varied and mostly vegetarian. They are usually extremely very nice .I would prefer smaller portions and a lesser price. I also think the tea beverage is far too expensive. I realise the economic crisis has forced prices to go up but £3.00 for a tea bag is over the top.

    Consistently excellent food
    This cafe is consistently excellent, I eat here regularly and it never fails to impress. The staff are friendly and attentive, food is freshly prepared and always delicious. For this visit we had mushrooms in a white sauce on toast, lovely flavour and excellent portion size. There are regular displays of art and craft work in the adjoining room which are free to view, and a delightful gift shop with unique items made by local crafts people. It’s close to the River Humber for a stroll after lunch. The menu has typical cafe fare - salads, panini, quiche, soup, hot meals and a range of home made cakes - the raspberry cake (fresh raspberries and coconut is delicious).

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Ripped a 3inch hole in my jeans from a faulty dangerous planter, received an email saying they were at a loss to see how it happened!! When asked if they could compensate me for my jeans I rudely received no reply!! A simple sorry “that’s not possible “would have been sufficient.
I will vote with my feet and will no longer go to events, the coffee shop or shop in the craft shop.

Having enjoyed refreshments at the Ropery my wife & I had a look around the Ropewalk. I was familiar with Halls Barton Ropery from the days when I worked in the Hull fishing industry. It was interesting to look through the display. Also looking at the crafts on display by local artists was very interesting. Well worth a visit.

Lovely cafe, very friendly staff.
Chose the quiche with 3 types of salad - delicious and plenty put on the plate. Guinness cake was gorgeous too.
Well worth a visit...

Lovely little place. Enjoyed a walk around the arts and crafts for sale and read about the history of the site before popping to the cafe for a takeaway drink and some Rocky road. The staff were very friendly.

The Ropewalk was the site of almost 200 years of rope making, with the family run factory finally closing in 1989. The building has since been regenerated, turning it into a museum, craft shop, gallery and cafe. They had an interesting variety of art, pottery and jewelry on display and you can easily while away an hour or two here.
