Our Story

Born from the historic echoes of Humber Street, Butler Whites stands proudly as a symbol of Hull’s culinary transformation. Once a bustling fruit and vegetable warehouse, our building now serves as a lively, welcoming restaurant that brings people together through great food and a vibrant atmosphere.

Our name pays homage to the rich history of the Fruit Market, a respectful nod to the local businesses that once thrived here. Today, Butler Whites carries forward that legacy, infusing it with fresh energy, creativity, and a passion for exceptional dining.

Led by the visionary stewardship of owner Jason Gittins, Butler Whites has become more than just a restaurant—it’s a cornerstone of Hull’s rejuvenation. Our mission is simple: to create memorable dining experiences by elevating casual dining to new heights. From our signature king prawn Thermidor to our 24-hour-braised belly pork, our eclectic menu is a celebration of local ingredients and seasonal flavors, each dish crafted with care and flair.

At Butler Whites, we’re proud to be part of Hull’s evolving cultural scene. Our space is more than a place to eat—it’s a gathering spot for family, friends, and even dogs, where every meal feels like a celebration. We’ve overcome challenges and embraced the spirit of regeneration, and we’re proud to share our journey with you.

We invite you to join us, to experience the warmth of our hospitality, the creativity of our menu, and to be part of our ongoing story—one filled with passion, pride, and a love for Hull.
