Valentine's Dinners at The Triton
Saint
Valentine's Day is always on the 14th February, and
this year it falls on a Tuesday. While we anticipate
being pretty busy on that day, many people prefer to
wine and dine their loved one at the nearest weekend
to Valentine's Day so we are having
Valentine's Weekend instead of a single Valentines
Day.
We have a special Valentines Menu for lovers of good food to choose from and that menu will be available from Saturday 11th to Tuesday 14th.
But please do be careful as some dishes are reputedly aphrodisiac - we cannot be responsible for the actions of your partner if they over-indulge!
Three courses of the
finest fare just £18 pp
Sunday
Afternoon Live Jazz @ The Triton
We
offered LIVE JAZZ on Sunday afternoons a
couple of years ago and it was very
popular with Sunday lunch diners.
In February we start off a new season of LIVE JAZZ, beginning with a great new young band of musicians called THE JAZZ FACES.
They are performing in the ballroom on most Sundays in February - 5th, 19th and 26th. If you like some jazz with your Sunday Lunch, then Sunday Afternoons at The Triton is definitely THE place to be.
Mothers Day at The Triton
Mothers Day falls on Sunday 18th March this year, and is likely to be our busiest day of the year. It really is advisable to book so you can be sure to be all seated together. We can accommodate parties with as many as 20 or so people all at one table if you wish, but do need advance notice so that we can fit everyone in. At the Triton we don't do 'overcrowding' - that way we can ensure good quality of service as well as food. So please do try and book your table in advance.

New SPRING MENU launched
Some
new dishes here never
yet tried at The
Triton, but all in
response to customer
demand. We have
introduced a new
section of Stir Fry
dishes, where you
select your choice of
main ingredients, and
sepcial sauces and our
chefs prepare the dish
for you.
Also new fish
dishes, Rib Eye

Barnsley Chop and a
new vegetarian meal -
Spinach and Ricotta
Tortelloni. All
the usual favourites
are there too -

use only 'low trans
fat' cooking
oil.
Thursday 11 March
Charity Quiz Night
Friday 22 January
'Steak Special' night is back!
Your
chance to enjoy a superb
steak meal at a very
special cut price rate.
We ran this deal last
year and it was a
runaway success, until
the price of meat soared
and we just couldn’t
afford it. But now its
back - Every Friday
until Easter we are
offering TWO full
Sirloin Steak Meals,
plus a bottle of our
house wine (red, white
or rosé) for just £29.95
per couple. That’s over
25% off!
There is no catch, we include all the usual trimmings - either salad or onion rings & mushrooms, plus our hand cut real chips. Our steaks are freshly cut from the full sirloin and char-grilled to your order. If you would like a special sauce, such as our Head Chef’s special Diane Sauce, we can add these for just £2.25 extra.
Should you wish to upgrade your wine to a more expensive one we will allow you £10 off the price of whichever wine you choose, including Champagnes. Offer available EVERY Friday evening, from 5pm, from now until Easter.
Monday 18 January
January Sales continue at The Triton
There are still bargains to be had in the Triton January sales. You can bag a free bottle of wine, or 50% off a meal, or maybe a massive 40% discount on tickets for our popular Dinner Dances. Our customers save even more as we did not raise our prices when the VAT rate went up on New Years Day; many of our prices haven’t changed for almost two years.
FIVES SPECIAL
Is ‘five’ your lucky number? Any weekday afternoon at The Triton it may well be - we have a range of five special meals for just £5.55 each, five days a week until 5pm. The dishes on offer changes every couple of weeks and includes many Triton favourites.

DINNER DANCE DEAL
We also have a special offer of 40% off the price of the Triton Dinner Dances.

Hessle Modern Jive Christmas Ball
Hessle Modern Jive is a private club run by Rod and Clair (seen here on the left) and a small group of enthusiastic dancers, including the ever-lovely Tracey Oakes-Milner (on the right, dressed as a model!).
Hessle Modern Jive meets every Wednesday in Hessle Town Hall, where they have expert dance tuition and demonstration sessions, often given by leading dance practitioners from all over the UK. Doors open 7.30 pm - 10.30 pm. Beginners are very welcome and beginners' classes begin at 7.45 pm. Intermediate classes and freestyle dancing follow afterwards. No special shoes or clothing are required and no partner is needed. Dancers rotate partners and introduce themselves during the classes. It's a excellent way to make new friends, keep fit and have great fun! Members ages range from 18 - 80. They are a friendly sociable bunch too! Entry on door is £7 and lifetime membership costs £2.
The Bishop in The Ballroom
We
stage
all kinds of events at the Triton,
both public and private meetings, and
Tuesday 24th November was no
exception, though it was a rather
special and quite exceptional evening.
The Bishop of Hull,
who is also responsible for the
Archdeaconry of the East Riding, held
an open forum evening for villagers of
the Parish to meet with him and
discuss a wide range of matters.
It was very well attended with several dozen parishioners coming to meet the Right Reverend Richard Frith, an interesting man who is only the twelfth person to hold the high office of Bishop of Hull in the 470 years since the post was created. A keen cricket fan, he is also a former Rector of Keynsham (spelt K-E-Y-N-S-H-A-M).
His easy, warm manner soon won over the assembled members of the congregation from All Saints in Brantingham and he spoke enthusiastically on his own views, the church's current position, and answered many questions. Topics ranged from other faiths, some very core matters of Christianity, the inevitable spectre of female clergy and homosexuality in priests. Some lively and fascinating debate ensued and many said they thought the event should be repeated.

Jessica's Walk 2010
Almost
a
hundred of Jessica Levine's friends
and families met in Welton on Saturday
14th November, a
lovely fine sunny day, to
follow one of Jessica's favourite walks.
We all plimped along Welton High Road
into Elloughton, up the dale and
past a new bench installed at the top of
Elloughton Dale in Jessica's memory
which had been installed just the
previous day.
Then across the top and onto Spout Hill Lane by South Wold Farm before descending into Brantingham and the warmth of The Triton, where a lovely afternoon was spent remembering Jessica, her life and sad passing last Summer.
For more details of the annual walk to remember Jessica, and for details of ways in which you can help support the MacMillan Nurses who helped Jessica in her final months, just click on Jessica's photo on the left
Daffodil Girls cycle to The Triton.
This
was their second visit in a week - this
time the girls were on the return leg of
their ride to Amsterdam, where they had
what Sue called "a very enjoyable
weekend, bit tiring though!" With
their team of support guys their route
through Brantingham was part of a 240
miles round trip from York to raise
money for the MacMillan Nurses.
The Daffodil team come from all over the
UK - Liverpool, Birmingham,
Gloucestershire, Norfolk, Lincoln and
London included and with just
under 30 miles to go before the end of
the griuelling ride they were all in
great spirits.
They made quite a sight, respendent in their vivid yellow tabards and astride their very expensive bikes. "It was worth getting up today just to see them," said Triton assistant manager Luke Duerden as he waved them off to York in three groups.
Christmas 2009
bookings
Last
year,
Lunch on Christmas Day was filled pretty
early with very few tables remaining
by the end of October. For full menu
details please see our CHRISTMAS
page. The Triton will close after
the service of Christmas Day Lunch, and
will not be open on Christmas Night.
On Boxing Day we start the day's festivities with the now traditional dance out by Yorkshire's best Morris dancing team, the Green Gingermen, who will be accompanied by their delightful Garland Ladies. Boxing day is a special family day and we have a special menu available all afternoon and into the early evening. Last food service will be around 7:30, after which The Triton will be closed on Boxing Day evening.
The Triton Christmas Party Nights are also proving very popular - and last year many of the most popular dates such as Fridays and Saturdays were fully booked by party organisers for company Christmas Parties. The Thursday and Sunday parties got booked up early too, so be sure to reserve your places as soon as possible.
Our Christmas programme of events and menus will be available very shortly. You can be added to the list to receive an early copy as soon as they are available, by telephoning, dropping us a line, or just emailing menus @ thetritoninn.com with your contact details. (These will not be sold to any mailing list sellers, or used for any other purpose but to send you information about events at The Triton Inn.)

Porsche Club's Wolds Wander "a great success."
The
Porsche
Club of Great Britain
organised their Wolds Wander
to start from the Triton on
Sunday 17th May. The cars
(and owners!) assembled at
The Triton from 9 am
onwards, enjoying the
brilliant Brantingham
sunshine, our best bacon
sandwiches and the suual
variety of hot drinks,
prior to their being
despatched.
Organiser Andrew Warner pronounced the run a "great success" with no cars getting llost or breaking down en-route. The run finished at Malton in the early afternoon.
The Porsche Club of Great Britain is a non profit making organisation formed in 1961. It is the only such organisation officially recoignised by Porsche and raises money for charity and offers a variety of benefits for its members - more details can be found at the club's web-site: http://testpcgb.adnet.co.uk/AboutPCGB/Commercial.aspx
MONDAY NIGHT CAR CLUB
and don't forget -
Wednesday 1st July East Yorkshire Thoroughbred Car Club's
Classic Car Night
Over 50 superb classic cars on the car park 'la concourse' from 6 to 9pm
SPECTATORS WELCOME - don't forget your camera!
always some superb motors at The Triton - home of the hot-wheels, glowing tail pipes and esoteric number plates!
Sixties Dinner Dances
Our
'Sounds of the Sixties'
Dinner dances have proved
a great success with
diners enjoying a
sumptuous three course
meal, during which we play
laid-back easy-listening
tunes, and then
afterwards, dancing to
your favourite sounds of
the 1960s.
Your host Paul spins music by all the big name artistes such as the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, the Kinks, Small Faces, plus a host of Tamla Motown and soul / disco tracks too, not to mention some pretty obscure but much lloved favourites that someonhow never seem to get an airing these days. With his record collection boasting over 66,000 items, there isn't much he cannot lay his hands on - why not challenge him to play YOUR favourite?
Gauged by requests, and by how many filled the floor to dance to them, the most popular tracks seem to be the dance hall standards such as Chris Montez's Lets Dance, Little Eva's Locomotion, Free's All Right Now, and the Crystals' Da Do Ron Ron - all evoking memories of nights at the Locarno Ballroom, The Trees club in North Ferriby or the Westfield Club in Cottingham.
In April we tried a couple of 'Fabulous Fifties' nights too, but these did not prove so popular - perhaps people who remember the fifties are all too old to dance? In May we added some seventies music to the night and this proved very popular, especially tracks from Abba and Saturday Night Fever - presumably everyone has been to see the stage shows recently!
You don't have to come dressed 'in period', though if you do then you may win a spot prize for your efforts and style - which may be why Austin Powers tries so hard!
The Dinner Dances include a waiter-served, individually prepared, three course meal with all our drinks being at regular bar prices, plus some special offers on wines and champagnes. This is an excellent way tlo give someone (and yourself) a great night out; for latest table availability call us on 01482 667261.

The Triton voted
RESTAURANT of the YEAR !
by Hull Daily Mail readers.
21 November 2008
The Hull Daily Mail's annual Restaurant of the Year awards were announced today and contained a lovely surprise: in the 'readers choice' category, The Triton has been voted Restaurant of the Year. We are all very touched and wish to sincerely thank all our customers who cast their vote for us. We value this far more than any other category - its the ultimate accolade - our customers, who are the very reason we are in business. We don't chase Michelin Stars, we don't try to concoct difficult dishes to impress other restauranteurs, we just serve up nice food that's popular with our customers who are ordinary East Yorkshire folk. Each dish is individually prepared using fresh local ingredients and offered at a reasonable price.
The
following day, i.e. the night before New
Year's Eve (its Tuesday 30th December)
we have a special James
Bond theme
night.
On Monday 3rd we had a James Bond theme night to celebrate a special birthday for a guest. All the guests came in character and you can see some of them in our picture here (left). A couple of dozen assorted Bonds, a couple of Pussy Galores (and both those were guys!), the inevitable girl in a bikini, a terrific Oddjob, even Blofeld's white cat! They all looked pretty fabulous and had a terrific time.
So we have decided to do this again as a special Christmas treat for our customers. On the day before New Year's Eve - thats Tuesday 30th December, and it will be a Bond Special Dinner Dance in the Triton ballroom. All the ladies like dressing up, and many of the guys do too. We expect most of the men to come as James Bond (Ian Fleming MUST have modeled those books on most of our male customers, and we can see the template for many of his best Bond girls in our female guests too!). There will be prizes for the best Bond and for the best supporting character. the possibilities are endless - so many wonderful characters in the (22?) Bond movies. Goldfinger, Oddjob, Nick Nack, Miss Money Penny, the many bikini girls, Octopussy, . . who do YOU do? Get rummaging in that dressing up box and drag out your favourite costume, no matter how tenuous the link with James Bond. Paul will be hosting the evening, dressed as a character from a film that could have been moddelled on him (but was actually modelled on Simon Dee - if you're old enough to remember who he is). And no, it's certainly NOT Tarzan, nor Barbarella!
Guests
at the Bond Dinner Dance will receive a
complimentary vodkatini on arrival (shaken,
not stirred) a four course dinner, and there
will be a Bond quiz, as well as prizes for the
best Bond (voted by the ladies!) and support
character (voted by the Bonds).
Do bring your favourite Aston Martin - we have plenty of parking (and you can leave it overnight!) but please, imitation weapons only, and no combat on the premises!
CLICK HERE for a mini poster describing the James Bond 007 Dinner Dance.
On New Years Eve we have a superb Dinner Party to welcome in the New Year, with live music from the superb SAX APPEAL and disco dancing with your host Paul until 1 am. Its a six course meal including champagne to toast the arrival of 2009, but places are limited and its already two thirds full, so book now to avoid disappointment.
Refurbishment
- PHASE II
Work finally got underway on Monday 16th June to reconstruct the toilets at the Triton, which are now completed and fully in use. We also have a new rear corridor, enclosed and much more comfortable (and cheerful!)
In September work commenced on the construction of a new patio to the front of the building and new entrances to each door. We are also taking the opportunity to further enhance the Triton by adding two large jumbrellas to the front which will be equipped with light and heat, to enable those who like to dine al fresco and those who like to partake of a cigar or cigarette after their meal to do so outside whatever the weather. This work will be completed by the end of September.
Some pictures of the work and new patio will appear here shortly
The
patio was completed on 1st
October (just in time for the
late running Summer!) and will
now be furnished with large
planters, tables and
chairs. Our staff
have tested the efficacy of the
heating arrangements by lounging
around underneath them in
swim-suits! Martin, our follicly
challenged Pastry Chef almost
got sunburned on his head.
Regular Alan Hillary from Brough
chained his trusty old bike up
to the post quickly and thinks
the heating is just to keep bike
saddles warm on a cold night
while he has a a few drinks!
It's well known that The Triton is haunted by several ghosts and we wondered whether any human remains might be found while excavating the area of car park used to construct the patio, but, unlike Brookside, there does seem to be no bodies under the patio. We do however have a fair few spirits at the Triton - several customers and former staff have seen several ghostly apparitions. The most common is the lady in 18th century garb tending the fire, while the man on a b rown horse peering in the bar window has been seen by several, while fewer have seen the poorly little boy in bed upstairs. All the contractors found when they dug outside were the telephone cables (twice!) and an assortment of old drains. As the car park was only laid down in the early 1970s that's probably to be expected.
Fashion Show
This took place on Tuesday 16th September and was a sell out. SIB Blings of Kirk Ella had a team of tots and children model their latest children's fashions, with commentary by Jill. The fashions only turned up on the day of the show, and are now all on sale in their boutique , next door to the old Post office in Packman drive - opposite St ANdrew's Church.
Crave Boutique of Prestongate Hessle formed the next presentation, with some very slick models showing their latest range of fashions and accessories, ably described by one of crave's owners, Vicky.
We had a charity draw for various unique and quite valuable items - champagne, vouchers, designer handbag, meals at the Triton etc, donated by the boutiques, The Triton and also Walker & Walker accountants.
The final presentation was of underwear by Serenity Boutique, which went very well despite some models failing to appear. Full marks to the brave models who did turn up and entertained very well, and were getting changed in a marquee on the car park - where it can get quite chilly at this time of the year.
Andy Cornfoot live in the bar
Great
covers of Beatles, Dylan,
Shania Twain, etc
FREE ADMISSION
Andy Cornfoot is a terrific local singer songwriter who performed his first gig here in February. It went down very well - so well that many customers (and staff) bought copies of his CD.
Andy won the Hull Talent trail two years ago and has built up a strong following among local music fans. His influences include the Stones, the Beatles, Oasis and Bob Dylan. He does covers of some of their songs and a good few of his own (Blue Jeans is terrific track - check it out on our music system at the Triton most evenings) and others. You can see Andy live at the Triton on Friday 14th March; his first set will be about 8.30, with a second set at about 9.45. Bound to include a fair sprinkling of tunes from the 60s to the present day. The gig is in the bar and its FREE ADMISSION. See you there we hope.
A few more events at The Triton
SAX
APPEAL
Live outside The Triton !
It was so hot on Sunday afternoon (8th June) that we didn't think
many would want to sit in the restaurant for their lunch - it does get
rather hot in there being mainly glass on two sides.
So our jazz artistes SAX APPEAL agreed to set up and
play outside at the front of The Triton.
It was a superb gig, a lovely atmosphere with Caz's dreamy
vocals and Jake's soulful sax serenading the al fresco diners and drinkers
with their sizzling syncopation.
Hopefully we shall have a lot more hot days this summer and
be able to feature more outdoor entertainment.
NEW TO THE TRITON Tuesday 22nd July Folk Tuesday
all welcome - from 7.30 onwards Admission FREE
Traditional May Day at The Triton
The May Day weekend traditionally marked the beginning of Summer (for hundreds of years before the Government moved that to some later date in June, perhaps as a prelude to their 'global warming' excuse for more taxes?). The ladies of the village would make garlands of flowers and dance with them, to bring on hot sunshine to grow better crops.
The Triton marked the May Day weekend by celebrating in the traditional Olde English way with the help of the Green Ginger Morris & Sword. Authentic old English music and Dancing at The Triton, and the Green Ginger men was, as usual, augmented by their delightful Garland Ladies. Several dozen customers provided an appreciative audience and one or two even got up and joined in with the festivities.
The Green Ginger Morris & Sword are East Yorkshire's leading exponents of their art and have danced here at The Triton for many years on Boxing Day. You can find a fully illustrated report about the Boxing Day dance out on the Green Ginger Morris and Sword's web site (just click to be taken straight to it - but come back here soon!).
PS If you can't find the MAY DAY Bank Holiday weekend in your diary, that's probably because the Government have now renamed it EARLY SPRING BANK HOLIDAY. Same day, its still a public holiday - but its May Day holiday to us. We were going to have a maypole too, but you can probably imagine how difficult it would be to get approval from the 'Health & Safety' brigade for that! Planning permission, risk assessment, ambulance standing by, insurance cover in place, extra police drafted in, and probably a corresponding dance for non-pagans who we must not cause any offence to!
New
Menu
and Wine List imminent
STOP PRESS - New menus operational from 22nd April
We changed to a late Spring menu towards the end of April. It features a new section of 'healthy eating options' with some great new ideas from our chefs. We have taken note of the many suggestions, requests and comments received from our customers and these are reflected in the new menu. Copies to take away are always available at The Triton, or we can mail one to you - just send us an email or call and leave your address and we shall mail one to you. Alternatively, you can download a copy by clicking on the logo of the menu alongside.
We have also expanded our Wine List to offer some more 'new world' wines which have proved very popular. The increasingly unfavourable exchange rate of the Euro means that many French wines are now much more expensive - some of our new Californian, South American and Australian wines offer much better value for money. Details of the new wines will be found on our wines page shortly.
Call My Quaff - a wine tasting with a difference!
At The Triton we try to generate a lively social atmosphere based on a simple philosophy: life is meant to be enjoyed and our duty is to help our customers enjoy it to the full! "Call My Quaff" is a great evening of entertainment mixed with wine tasting. While you will certainly learn something new about wines; this is not a stuffy formal wine lecture - rather a pleasant laid back evening where three wine lovers will bluff and mislead you in a series of wacky blind tastings. Its a rather intemperate vinous variation on the time-honoured quiz game, "Call My Bluff". Our own motley panel of wine aficionados will be competing with each other to baffle the audience - who are the real winners.
Our last 'Call My Quaff" session was very popular and we have finally managed to book the perpetrators* once again. This time its to take place on Thursday 10th April, once again in the stylish and newly refurbished Triton restaurant (recently refurnished with again, with new tables). We can seat all sizes of party - from twos, fours, up to 20 people in one party - or you can book the entire restaurant for yourself!
The format is as follows: The trio of wine experts will describe the mystery wines and their type, source, etc but two of them will be lying and you have to decide who is telling the truth, by drinking each of the wines! There are appropriate prizes for the winners and everyone has at least a one in three chance of getting the answers correct, so wine novices need not feel intimidated!
Enjoy a some fabulous food (the Triton’s famous luxury four course buffet) and a some superb Wines. Convivial company, and great fun, a full evening out that you will remember for a long time, and just £19 per person.
* The 'perpetrators' of Call My Quaff on 10th April will be Paul Livesy, a wine connoisseur and 'fine wines specialist' for a national wine vintners (oh, OK then: Waverley TBS!) Sue Hyde - a Brough resident and with decades of experience in the on trade - having spent lengthy periods at both sides of the bar, and Peter Hall. All three know their subject very well and their knowledge of wines is legendary - but who is telling the truth and who is bluffing?
IMPORTANT NOTE
you will probably drink six or more wines - so please pre-arrange transport home
ANDY CORNFOOT BACK AT THE TRITON
One
of
East Yorkshire's best new talents is back at
the Triton again on Friday 14th March and
again later in April.
Andy Cornfoot is a terrific local singer songwriter who performed his first gig here in February. It went down very well - so well that many customers (and staff) bought copies of his CD.
Andy won the Hull Talent trail two years ago and has built up a strong following among local music fans. His influences include the Stones, the Beatles, Oasis and Bob Dylan. He does covers of some of their songs and a good few of his own (Blue Jeans is terrific track - check it out on our music system at the Triton most evenings) and others. You can see Andy live at the Triton on Friday 14th March; his first set will be about 8.30, with a second set at about 9.45. Bound to include a fair sprinkling of tunes from the 60s to the present day. The gig is in the bar and its FREE ADMISSION. See you there we hope.

Vote for your favourite lager
We withdrew C2 (half alcohol Carling) lager recently and are considering which product to replace it with. To be certain of choosing one that our customers want we are currently having our own election at The Triton, where customers can VOTE for their favourite out of a list of seven lagers. The list includes Leffe, Staropramen, Kronenbourg 1664, San Miguel, Amstel, Hoegaarden and Becks Vier. We shall look at the votes on Good friday, and then decide which lager we shall bring on line on draught at The Triton, to enjoy the others - Carling, Stella Artois and Coors Fine Lite. All the votes will hen be put into a draw and the lucky winner will receive a case of lager (to be enjoyed at home, not in The Triton!). Make sure you ask our bar staff for your entry / voting form, and get it into the ballot box as soon as possib le. Thanks for your input, and Good Luck in the draw!
STOP PRESS - the draw was made on Easter Sunday by our own bar-star, Leanne Thompson. Paul Coverdale of Station Road in South Cave carries off the prize of a case of lager.
Voting was very close - it is neck and neck between San Miguel and Kronenbourg 1664 and we shall make a final decision on our new lager in the next few days.
New Pink Sax for Jake
Triton
Restaurant regular entertainers SAX
APPEAL have a new instrument in
their armoury - a bright pink
saxophone! Jake featured it at The
Triton for the first time on
Valentine's Day, and again at their
March Sunday Afternoon Dinner Jazz
gig here on March 9th. It sounds
terrific, very funky indeed. We
think it sounds especially brilliant
when he plays The Theme from The
Pink Panther on it - but come along
and hear for yourself.
Sax Appeal's next Sunday Afternoon Jazz Session is on April 13th. There is no cover charge - just buy your own Sunday Lunch from our restaurant menu (or have someone else buy it for you!). We recommend that you book a table as soon as possible as about half the tables have already been reserved. Sax Appeal perform several sets from 2:30 to 5:30.
Sax Appeal also perform at weddings, and have done so all over the world. You can find more information about them on their web site:
Valentine's Night SOLD OUT
Our
special
evening for lovers in Poseidon's
Restaurant is now fully sold

menu, but at a lower price.
We have not reserved any tables in the Triton Bar on Valentine's Night - where we shall be serving our normal menu, but on a 'first come-first served' basis.
We open at 5pm as usual, and we can only wish you 'Good Luck' in getting a table - we are sure you will understand that on such a busy evening we cannot keep tables empty and open for long periods. By all means call us during the evening to see what availability is in the bar.
Click on the menu mini-pic here to see a copy of our Valentine's Day menu

ANDY CORNFOOT LIVE AT THE TRITON
We're
proud
to present one of East Yorkshire's best new
talents at the Triton - a terrific
local singer songwriter called Andy
Cornfoot who won the Hull Talent trail two
years ago and has built up a strong following
among local music fans. Andy's influences
include the Stones, the Beatles, Oasis and Bob
Dylan. He does covers of some of their songs
and a good few of his own (Blue Jeans is
terrific track - check it out on our music
system at the Triton most evenings) and
others. You can see Andy live at the
Triton on Friday 22nd February. His first set
will be about 8.30, with a second set at about
9.45. Bound to include a fair sprinkling of
tunes from the 60s to the present
day. The gig is in the bar and its FREE
ADMISSION. See you there we hope.

.....PENSIONERS SPECIALS AVAILABLE AGAIN
Although we also offer 'Lite Bite' sized portions of some dishes, we realise that these are often too much for those with a lighter appetite, so we are now once again offering a Pensioners Special each weekday lunchtime in the Triton lounge bar. For just £6.50, you can enjoy a two course meal (three courses for just £8.50), from a special menu. It's still The Triton's first class food, just smaller portions. We also play all your favourite songs from the 40s, 50s and 60s - and of course, as ever there is the legendary Triton warm welcome.
SUNDAY LUNCH & JAZZ
What
better way to spend your Sunday
Lunchtime? in
Poseidon's
Restaurant, with LIVE JAZZ.
We are still looking for more jazz artistes (if you know any good ones do let us know).
Hypnotic Stage Show in The Triton Restaurant
Mark
this
date in your diary, and get your table booked
early. We have the legendary DAVID
KNIGHT at The Triton on the 28th March (its a
Friday) with his mind-blowing stage
show. David is the holder of the World
Speed Hypnosis record as well as being a star
of stage and TV. This is a great show
and it will probably be very very funny.
Come and give David a piece of your mind!

"CALL MY QUAFF " RETURNS
A very special wine tasting and gourmet food night, back at the Triton again in April.
Featuring an experienced panel of wine experts, a lot of fun, some great wines to try and superb food.
We shall be providing our luxury hot buffet and you will be expected to try perhaps half a dozen excellent wines.
Mark the date in your diary - its Thursday the 10th April. Call now to book our table 01482 667261
.....FISH TUESDAY IS A GREAT SUCCESS
Being
named
after a sea god, The Triton simply
had to develop the menu so we could
offer some excellent fish dishes.
Each Tuesday is now FISH TUESDAY at
the Triton when, in addition
to our regular menu, we also offer
several 'specials'. These are
usually a couple of sea fish, some
fresh water fish and sea food such
as lobster, crab, etc. These have
proved so successful that we now
find ourselves offering half a dozen
special fish dishes each
Tuesday. Our suppliers
recognise the value of the Triton's
Fish Gourmets (we have several
fishing industry luminaries among
our clientele who know a thing or
two about fish) and often make
special new dishes available to us
first. There are often some great
bargains to be had!
Or why not try our 'Banquet of the Oceans' - a huge platter (designed for 2 people to share, but some say that it's enough for 4!).
A whole shoal of sea and fresh fish plus some sea food too - ask for details.
....CHRISTMAS BOOKINGS
Our
Christmas
programme of events and menus will be
available very shortly.
You can be added to the list to receive an early copy as soon as they are available, by telephoning, dropping us a line, or just emailing menus @ thetritoninn.com with your contact details.

Sunday
Afternoon Live Jazz @ The Triton
We
offered LIVE JAZZ on Sunday afternoons a
couple of years ago and it was very
popular with Sunday lunch diners. In February we start off a new season of LIVE JAZZ, beginning with a great new young band of musicians called THE JAZZ FACES.
They are performing in the ballroom on most Sundays in February - 5th, 19th and 26th. If you like some jazz with your Sunday Lunch, then Sunday Afternoons at The Triton is definitely THE place to be.
Mothers Day at The Triton
Mothers Day falls on Sunday 18th March this year, and is likely to be our busiest day of the year. It really is advisable to book so you can be sure to be all seated together. We can accommodate parties with as many as 20 or so people all at one table if you wish, but do need advance notice so that we can fit everyone in. At the Triton we don't do 'overcrowding' - that way we can ensure good quality of service as well as food. So please do try and book your table in advance.

soul and rock oriented, while the last
Friday of each month will still be 60s
and 70s, but incorporating the best of
Tamla Motown and soul music. As ever,
the final choice is down to those
attending - its YOUR requests that
decide what we play.
Our head Chef Danny Poole has
introduced new dishes for the Dinner
Dance Parties which now includes a
lamb dish, a very special Huntsman's
Chicken and fillets of Sea Bass.

December 2010
X-Factor star to appear at Triton over Christmas
One
of our former staff members,
Tobias Sumpton, was
undoubtedly THE star of
the early rounds of
X-Factor in the current
season. He made it
through to Boot Camp and
was very impressive
vocally and with his
interview with the
judges, especially Simon
Cowell.
Toby has been recording tracks for an album to be released in the new year, and planning a new show featuring jazz and swing standards. He gave the World Premier of some of the songs from his album at The Triton on Friday 19th November. Although a bundle of nerves, he gave a great performance and was so impressive that we have booked him again. He will bestarring at a special Christmas Cabaret night in The Triton Ballroom on Monday 27th December. Tobias will be supported by his sister Gabrielle, who has been singing with The Rainbow Singers for some time now - they recently came a very close second in the BBC Choir of the Year competition. Toby and Gabrielle will each do solo sets and a duet 'grand finale'. Reserve a table now for a great Christmas show; two sensational singers and a two course Triton dinner served to your table, for less than £20. Limited capacity so book as early as you can.

December 2010 Mike Lodge at The Triton
Once
again we are delighted to present Mike
Lodge in cabaret at The Triton.
He will be apopearing on the Wednesday
between Christmas and the New Year
(29th December) with his usual fare of
humorous anecdotes (OK, dirty jokes

mixed with some opera, Shirley Bassey
and Michael Crawford
impressions. His legions of fans
know full well what they are letting
themselves in for - its a great night,
plus a sumtuous two course Triton
meal, all served up in the Triton
Ballroom. This is bound to be a
terrific night once again, and numbers
are strictly limited. If you need an
antidote to all that turkey, this is
the night.

Saturday

November 2010 Triton out "on the road"
At
this time of year it gets a bit
quiet at the Triton, so we decided

In the run up to Guy Fawkes Night we
were invited by the B&Q
superstore on St Andrews Quay to set
up our stand there, which we did for
two days, meeting thousands of
friends old and new. Some customers
who hadn't been to The Triton for
many years were surprised it was
still operating; we look forward to
welcoming them back soon.

Quiz Night on Thursday 11th March,
to raise funds for OSPREY.
This is a local charity which raises

was had by all, with the main
part of the quiz being won by The
Hyphens' team, and Sid's Squad
coming a close second (just 2 points
separated them - winning score
was 62 out of a possible 69 with a
dozen VERY hard questions!). Sid's
squad did win the Picture Round
however. Over £900 was raised by the
evening; on behalf of the OSPREY
committee, including Angela,
Vanessa, Sid, Lynn and Sue, we

Hessle Modern Jive Christmas Ball
Another
' SOLD OUT' event at the Triton,
though this was only open to members
of the 
Hessle
Modern Jive. Expertly
organised by Rod Wilson and Clair

all. Seventy guests sat down
for a three course Christmas

turned out while still attending
to regular Saturday night diners
in the Triton next door. We
removed the tables in the ballroom
during coffee and within 20
miniutes had the room cleared and
ready for the nights
dancing. And those guys (and
gals) can REALLY Dance.

Hessle

for their Summer Ball on
Saturday 26th June 2010.
The Bishop in The Ballroom
We
stage
all kinds of events at the Triton,
both public and private meetings, and
Tuesday 24th November was no
exception, though it was a rather
special and quite exceptional evening.
The Bishop of Hull,
who is also responsible for the
Archdeaconry of the East Riding, held
an open forum evening for villagers of
the Parish to meet with him and
discuss a wide range of matters. It was very well attended with several dozen parishioners coming to meet the Right Reverend Richard Frith, an interesting man who is only the twelfth person to hold the high office of Bishop of Hull in the 470 years since the post was created. A keen cricket fan, he is also a former Rector of Keynsham (spelt K-E-Y-N-S-H-A-M).
His easy, warm manner soon won over the assembled members of the congregation from All Saints in Brantingham and he spoke enthusiastically on his own views, the church's current position, and answered many questions. Topics ranged from other faiths, some very core matters of Christianity, the inevitable spectre of female clergy and homosexuality in priests. Some lively and fascinating debate ensued and many said they thought the event should be repeated.

Jessica's Walk 2010
Almost
a
hundred of Jessica Levine's friends
and families met in Welton on Saturday
14th November, a
lovely fine sunny day, to
follow one of Jessica's favourite walks.
We all plimped along Welton High Road
into Elloughton, up the dale and
past a new bench installed at the top of
Elloughton Dale in Jessica's memory
which had been installed just the
previous day.Then across the top and onto Spout Hill Lane by South Wold Farm before descending into Brantingham and the warmth of The Triton, where a lovely afternoon was spent remembering Jessica, her life and sad passing last Summer.
For more details of the annual walk to remember Jessica, and for details of ways in which you can help support the MacMillan Nurses who helped Jessica in her final months, just click on Jessica's photo on the left
Daffodil Girls cycle to The Triton.
Fifty
hard-pedalling ladies from all over the
UK descended on The Triton again this
morning (15th June) for the second time
in five days. The Daffodil cycling team
spent an hour cooling their tyres (and
quenching their thirsts) on our new
front terrace. It's always lovely to see
any sort of blooms out and Duty Manager
Vince Mcpherson reported that these were
exceptionally beautiful!
This
was their second visit in a week - this
time the girls were on the return leg of
their ride to Amsterdam, where they had
what Sue called "a very enjoyable
weekend, bit tiring though!" With
their team of support guys their route
through Brantingham was part of a 240
miles round trip from York to raise
money for the MacMillan Nurses.
The Daffodil team come from all over the
UK - Liverpool, Birmingham,
Gloucestershire, Norfolk, Lincoln and
London included and with just
under 30 miles to go before the end of
the griuelling ride they were all in
great spirits. They made quite a sight, respendent in their vivid yellow tabards and astride their very expensive bikes. "It was worth getting up today just to see them," said Triton assistant manager Luke Duerden as he waved them off to York in three groups.
Last
year,
Lunch on Christmas Day was filled pretty
early with very few tables remaining
by the end of October. For full menu
details please see our CHRISTMAS
page. The Triton will close after
the service of Christmas Day Lunch, and
will not be open on Christmas Night. On Boxing Day we start the day's festivities with the now traditional dance out by Yorkshire's best Morris dancing team, the Green Gingermen, who will be accompanied by their delightful Garland Ladies. Boxing day is a special family day and we have a special menu available all afternoon and into the early evening. Last food service will be around 7:30, after which The Triton will be closed on Boxing Day evening.
The Triton Christmas Party Nights are also proving very popular - and last year many of the most popular dates such as Fridays and Saturdays were fully booked by party organisers for company Christmas Parties. The Thursday and Sunday parties got booked up early too, so be sure to reserve your places as soon as possible.
Our Christmas programme of events and menus will be available very shortly. You can be added to the list to receive an early copy as soon as they are available, by telephoning, dropping us a line, or just emailing menus @ thetritoninn.com with your contact details. (These will not be sold to any mailing list sellers, or used for any other purpose but to send you information about events at The Triton Inn.)

Porsche Club's Wolds Wander "a great success."
The
Porsche
Club of Great Britain
organised their Wolds Wander
to start from the Triton on
Sunday 17th May. The cars
(and owners!) assembled at
The Triton from 9 am

brilliant Brantingham
sunshine, our best bacon
sandwiches and the suual
variety of hot drinks,
prior to their being
despatched.
Organiser Andrew Warner pronounced the run a "great success" with no cars getting llost or breaking down en-route. The run finished at Malton in the early afternoon.
The Porsche Club of Great Britain is a non profit making organisation formed in 1961. It is the only such organisation officially recoignised by Porsche and raises money for charity and offers a variety of benefits for its members - more details can be found at the club's web-site: http://testpcgb.adnet.co.uk/AboutPCGB/Commercial.aspx

Sixties Dinner Dances
Our
'Sounds of the Sixties'
Dinner dances have proved
a great success with
diners enjoying a
sumptuous three course
meal, during which we play
laid-back easy-listening
tunes, and then
afterwards, dancing to
your favourite sounds of
the 1960s. Your host Paul spins music by all the big name artistes such as the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, the Kinks, Small Faces, plus a host of Tamla Motown and soul / disco tracks too, not to mention some pretty obscure but much lloved favourites that someonhow never seem to get an airing these days. With his record collection boasting over 66,000 items, there isn't much he cannot lay his hands on - why not challenge him to play YOUR favourite?
Gauged by requests, and by how many filled the floor to dance to them, the most popular tracks seem to be the dance hall standards such as Chris Montez's Lets Dance, Little Eva's Locomotion, Free's All Right Now, and the Crystals' Da Do Ron Ron - all evoking memories of nights at the Locarno Ballroom, The Trees club in North Ferriby or the Westfield Club in Cottingham.
In April we tried a couple of 'Fabulous Fifties' nights too, but these did not prove so popular - perhaps people who remember the fifties are all too old to dance? In May we added some seventies music to the night and this proved very popular, especially tracks from Abba and Saturday Night Fever - presumably everyone has been to see the stage shows recently!
You don't have to come dressed 'in period', though if you do then you may win a spot prize for your efforts and style - which may be why Austin Powers tries so hard!
The Dinner Dances include a waiter-served, individually prepared, three course meal with all our drinks being at regular bar prices, plus some special offers on wines and champagnes. This is an excellent way tlo give someone (and yourself) a great night out; for latest table availability call us on 01482 667261.

period, startying in
September. Full details will

thetritoninn.com.The Triton voted
RESTAURANT of the YEAR !
by Hull Daily Mail readers.
21 November 2008
The Hull Daily Mail's annual Restaurant of the Year awards were announced today and contained a lovely surprise: in the 'readers choice' category, The Triton has been voted Restaurant of the Year. We are all very touched and wish to sincerely thank all our customers who cast their vote for us. We value this far more than any other category - its the ultimate accolade - our customers, who are the very reason we are in business. We don't chase Michelin Stars, we don't try to concoct difficult dishes to impress other restauranteurs, we just serve up nice food that's popular with our customers who are ordinary East Yorkshire folk. Each dish is individually prepared using fresh local ingredients and offered at a reasonable price.
Bond Night at The Triton
The
following day, i.e. the night before New
Year's Eve (its Tuesday 30th December)
we have a special James
Bond theme
night. On Monday 3rd we had a James Bond theme night to celebrate a special birthday for a guest. All the guests came in character and you can see some of them in our picture here (left). A couple of dozen assorted Bonds, a couple of Pussy Galores (and both those were guys!), the inevitable girl in a bikini, a terrific Oddjob, even Blofeld's white cat! They all looked pretty fabulous and had a terrific time.
So we have decided to do this again as a special Christmas treat for our customers. On the day before New Year's Eve - thats Tuesday 30th December, and it will be a Bond Special Dinner Dance in the Triton ballroom. All the ladies like dressing up, and many of the guys do too. We expect most of the men to come as James Bond (Ian Fleming MUST have modeled those books on most of our male customers, and we can see the template for many of his best Bond girls in our female guests too!). There will be prizes for the best Bond and for the best supporting character. the possibilities are endless - so many wonderful characters in the (22?) Bond movies. Goldfinger, Oddjob, Nick Nack, Miss Money Penny, the many bikini girls, Octopussy, . . who do YOU do? Get rummaging in that dressing up box and drag out your favourite costume, no matter how tenuous the link with James Bond. Paul will be hosting the evening, dressed as a character from a film that could have been moddelled on him (but was actually modelled on Simon Dee - if you're old enough to remember who he is). And no, it's certainly NOT Tarzan, nor Barbarella!
Guests
at the Bond Dinner Dance will receive a
complimentary vodkatini on arrival (shaken,
not stirred) a four course dinner, and there
will be a Bond quiz, as well as prizes for the
best Bond (voted by the ladies!) and support
character (voted by the Bonds). Do bring your favourite Aston Martin - we have plenty of parking (and you can leave it overnight!) but please, imitation weapons only, and no combat on the premises!
CLICK HERE for a mini poster describing the James Bond 007 Dinner Dance.
On New Years Eve we have a superb Dinner Party to welcome in the New Year, with live music from the superb SAX APPEAL and disco dancing with your host Paul until 1 am. Its a six course meal including champagne to toast the arrival of 2009, but places are limited and its already two thirds full, so book now to avoid disappointment.
WORK
NOW COMPLETED
NEW TERRACE /PATIO OPERATIONAL (all we need is sunshine)
NEW TERRACE /PATIO OPERATIONAL (all we need is sunshine)
Refurbishment
- PHASE IIWork finally got underway on Monday 16th June to reconstruct the toilets at the Triton, which are now completed and fully in use. We also have a new rear corridor, enclosed and much more comfortable (and cheerful!)
In September work commenced on the construction of a new patio to the front of the building and new entrances to each door. We are also taking the opportunity to further enhance the Triton by adding two large jumbrellas to the front which will be equipped with light and heat, to enable those who like to dine al fresco and those who like to partake of a cigar or cigarette after their meal to do so outside whatever the weather. This work will be completed by the end of September.
Some pictures of the work and new patio will appear here shortly
The
patio was completed on 1st
October (just in time for the
late running Summer!) and will
now be furnished with large
planters, tables and
chairs. Our staff
have tested the efficacy of the
heating arrangements by lounging
around underneath them in
swim-suits! Martin, our follicly
challenged Pastry Chef almost
got sunburned on his head.
Regular Alan Hillary from Brough
chained his trusty old bike up
to the post quickly and thinks
the heating is just to keep bike
saddles warm on a cold night
while he has a a few drinks!It's well known that The Triton is haunted by several ghosts and we wondered whether any human remains might be found while excavating the area of car park used to construct the patio, but, unlike Brookside, there does seem to be no bodies under the patio. We do however have a fair few spirits at the Triton - several customers and former staff have seen several ghostly apparitions. The most common is the lady in 18th century garb tending the fire, while the man on a b rown horse peering in the bar window has been seen by several, while fewer have seen the poorly little boy in bed upstairs. All the contractors found when they dug outside were the telephone cables (twice!) and an assortment of old drains. As the car park was only laid down in the early 1970s that's probably to be expected.
Fashion Show
This took place on Tuesday 16th September and was a sell out. SIB Blings of Kirk Ella had a team of tots and children model their latest children's fashions, with commentary by Jill. The fashions only turned up on the day of the show, and are now all on sale in their boutique , next door to the old Post office in Packman drive - opposite St ANdrew's Church.
Crave Boutique of Prestongate Hessle formed the next presentation, with some very slick models showing their latest range of fashions and accessories, ably described by one of crave's owners, Vicky.
We had a charity draw for various unique and quite valuable items - champagne, vouchers, designer handbag, meals at the Triton etc, donated by the boutiques, The Triton and also Walker & Walker accountants.
The final presentation was of underwear by Serenity Boutique, which went very well despite some models failing to appear. Full marks to the brave models who did turn up and entertained very well, and were getting changed in a marquee on the car park - where it can get quite chilly at this time of the year.
Andy Cornfoot live in the bar
FREE ADMISSION
Andy Cornfoot is a terrific local singer songwriter who performed his first gig here in February. It went down very well - so well that many customers (and staff) bought copies of his CD.
Andy won the Hull Talent trail two years ago and has built up a strong following among local music fans. His influences include the Stones, the Beatles, Oasis and Bob Dylan. He does covers of some of their songs and a good few of his own (Blue Jeans is terrific track - check it out on our music system at the Triton most evenings) and others. You can see Andy live at the Triton on Friday 14th March; his first set will be about 8.30, with a second set at about 9.45. Bound to include a fair sprinkling of tunes from the 60s to the present day. The gig is in the bar and its FREE ADMISSION. See you there we hope.
A few more events at The Triton
SAX
APPEAL Live outside The Triton !
It was so hot on Sunday afternoon (8th June) that we didn't think
many would want to sit in the restaurant for their lunch - it does get
rather hot in there being mainly glass on two sides.
So our jazz artistes SAX APPEAL agreed to set up and
play outside at the front of The Triton.
It was a superb gig, a lovely atmosphere with Caz's dreamy
vocals and Jake's soulful sax serenading the al fresco diners and drinkers
with their sizzling syncopation.
Hopefully we shall have a lot more hot days this summer and
be able to feature more outdoor entertainment.

Traditional May Day at The Triton
The May Day weekend traditionally marked the beginning of Summer (for hundreds of years before the Government moved that to some later date in June, perhaps as a prelude to their 'global warming' excuse for more taxes?). The ladies of the village would make garlands of flowers and dance with them, to bring on hot sunshine to grow better crops.
The Triton marked the May Day weekend by celebrating in the traditional Olde English way with the help of the Green Ginger Morris & Sword. Authentic old English music and Dancing at The Triton, and the Green Ginger men was, as usual, augmented by their delightful Garland Ladies. Several dozen customers provided an appreciative audience and one or two even got up and joined in with the festivities.
The Green Ginger Morris & Sword are East Yorkshire's leading exponents of their art and have danced here at The Triton for many years on Boxing Day. You can find a fully illustrated report about the Boxing Day dance out on the Green Ginger Morris and Sword's web site (just click to be taken straight to it - but come back here soon!).
PS If you can't find the MAY DAY Bank Holiday weekend in your diary, that's probably because the Government have now renamed it EARLY SPRING BANK HOLIDAY. Same day, its still a public holiday - but its May Day holiday to us. We were going to have a maypole too, but you can probably imagine how difficult it would be to get approval from the 'Health & Safety' brigade for that! Planning permission, risk assessment, ambulance standing by, insurance cover in place, extra police drafted in, and probably a corresponding dance for non-pagans who we must not cause any offence to!
STOP PRESS - New menus operational from 22nd April
We changed to a late Spring menu towards the end of April. It features a new section of 'healthy eating options' with some great new ideas from our chefs. We have taken note of the many suggestions, requests and comments received from our customers and these are reflected in the new menu. Copies to take away are always available at The Triton, or we can mail one to you - just send us an email or call and leave your address and we shall mail one to you. Alternatively, you can download a copy by clicking on the logo of the menu alongside.
We have also expanded our Wine List to offer some more 'new world' wines which have proved very popular. The increasingly unfavourable exchange rate of the Euro means that many French wines are now much more expensive - some of our new Californian, South American and Australian wines offer much better value for money. Details of the new wines will be found on our wines page shortly.
Call My Quaff - a wine tasting with a difference!
At The Triton we try to generate a lively social atmosphere based on a simple philosophy: life is meant to be enjoyed and our duty is to help our customers enjoy it to the full! "Call My Quaff" is a great evening of entertainment mixed with wine tasting. While you will certainly learn something new about wines; this is not a stuffy formal wine lecture - rather a pleasant laid back evening where three wine lovers will bluff and mislead you in a series of wacky blind tastings. Its a rather intemperate vinous variation on the time-honoured quiz game, "Call My Bluff". Our own motley panel of wine aficionados will be competing with each other to baffle the audience - who are the real winners.
Our last 'Call My Quaff" session was very popular and we have finally managed to book the perpetrators* once again. This time its to take place on Thursday 10th April, once again in the stylish and newly refurbished Triton restaurant (recently refurnished with again, with new tables). We can seat all sizes of party - from twos, fours, up to 20 people in one party - or you can book the entire restaurant for yourself!
The format is as follows: The trio of wine experts will describe the mystery wines and their type, source, etc but two of them will be lying and you have to decide who is telling the truth, by drinking each of the wines! There are appropriate prizes for the winners and everyone has at least a one in three chance of getting the answers correct, so wine novices need not feel intimidated!
Enjoy a some fabulous food (the Triton’s famous luxury four course buffet) and a some superb Wines. Convivial company, and great fun, a full evening out that you will remember for a long time, and just £19 per person.
* The 'perpetrators' of Call My Quaff on 10th April will be Paul Livesy, a wine connoisseur and 'fine wines specialist' for a national wine vintners (oh, OK then: Waverley TBS!) Sue Hyde - a Brough resident and with decades of experience in the on trade - having spent lengthy periods at both sides of the bar, and Peter Hall. All three know their subject very well and their knowledge of wines is legendary - but who is telling the truth and who is bluffing?
IMPORTANT NOTE
you will probably drink six or more wines - so please pre-arrange transport home
ANDY CORNFOOT BACK AT THE TRITON
One

East Yorkshire's best new talents is back at

Vote for your favourite lager
We withdrew C2 (half alcohol Carling) lager recently and are considering which product to replace it with. To be certain of choosing one that our customers want we are currently having our own election at The Triton, where customers can VOTE for their favourite out of a list of seven lagers. The list includes Leffe, Staropramen, Kronenbourg 1664, San Miguel, Amstel, Hoegaarden and Becks Vier. We shall look at the votes on Good friday, and then decide which lager we shall bring on line on draught at The Triton, to enjoy the others - Carling, Stella Artois and Coors Fine Lite. All the votes will hen be put into a draw and the lucky winner will receive a case of lager (to be enjoyed at home, not in The Triton!). Make sure you ask our bar staff for your entry / voting form, and get it into the ballot box as soon as possib le. Thanks for your input, and Good Luck in the draw!
STOP PRESS - the draw was made on Easter Sunday by our own bar-star, Leanne Thompson. Paul Coverdale of Station Road in South Cave carries off the prize of a case of lager.
Voting was very close - it is neck and neck between San Miguel and Kronenbourg 1664 and we shall make a final decision on our new lager in the next few days.
New Pink Sax for Jake
Triton
Restaurant regular entertainers SAX
APPEAL have a new instrument in
their armoury - a bright pink
saxophone! Jake featured it at The
Triton for the first time on
Valentine's Day, and again at their
March Sunday Afternoon Dinner Jazz
gig here on March 9th. It sounds
terrific, very funky indeed. We
think it sounds especially brilliant
when he plays The Theme from The
Pink Panther on it - but come along
and hear for yourself. Sax Appeal's next Sunday Afternoon Jazz Session is on April 13th. There is no cover charge - just buy your own Sunday Lunch from our restaurant menu (or have someone else buy it for you!). We recommend that you book a table as soon as possible as about half the tables have already been reserved. Sax Appeal perform several sets from 2:30 to 5:30.
Sax Appeal also perform at weddings, and have done so all over the world. You can find more information about them on their web site:
Valentine's Night SOLD OUT
Our
special
evening for lovers in Poseidon's
Restaurant is now fully sold

We open at 5pm as usual, and we can only wish you 'Good Luck' in getting a table - we are sure you will understand that on such a busy evening we cannot keep tables empty and open for long periods. By all means call us during the evening to see what availability is in the bar.

best of local ingredients and of
course, all dishes are freshly and
individually prepared.
Forget the various food guides - they are probably months out of date (although the Hull Daily Mail on January 26th said that " "). Listen to what your friends say; and if they have been here recently they will probably tell you that The Triton serves great quality food, its pretty good value for money and they always make you welcome. Then come and judge for yourself - we are pretty sure that you will be satisfied.

.....PENSIONERS SPECIALS AVAILABLE AGAIN
Although we also offer 'Lite Bite' sized portions of some dishes, we realise that these are often too much for those with a lighter appetite, so we are now once again offering a Pensioners Special each weekday lunchtime in the Triton lounge bar. For just £6.50, you can enjoy a two course meal (three courses for just £8.50), from a special menu. It's still The Triton's first class food, just smaller portions.

.....FISH TUESDAY IS A GREAT SUCCESS
Being
named
after a sea god, The Triton simply
had to develop the menu so we could
offer some excellent fish dishes.
Each Tuesday is now FISH TUESDAY at
the Triton when, in addition
to our regular menu, we also offer
several 'specials'. These are
usually a couple of sea fish, some
fresh water fish and sea food such
as lobster, crab, etc. These have
proved so successful that we now
find ourselves offering half a dozen
special fish dishes each
Tuesday. Our suppliers
recognise the value of the Triton's
Fish Gourmets (we have several
fishing industry luminaries among
our clientele who know a thing or
two about fish) and often make
special new dishes available to us
