Kingston upon Hull - Whittington & Cat


Whittington & Cat is a place where people can eat, drink and sleep.

Built in the 1830s, the original name of the tavern was The Whittington Inn, because of Dick Whittington and his cat. Dick Whittington and his cat is the English folklore surrounding the real–life Richard Whittington, a wealthy merchant. The story goes he visited areas renting out his cat to cull the rising rat populations.

The English version of the french dish "steak frites".
