It is a very unusual place for a JDW, but I hope it catches on.
Took a while to get served, and in fairness, the staff were friendly.
I had a good ale and a pizza to takeaway.
Would go back.
Located within the University but open to the public. Unless there's a big football match on it's surprisingly tranquil for a 'Spoons pub! The fish and chips is definitely recommended; the fish is consistently above the expected standard. App users will often find special offers available here, too. It's slightly off the beaten track being within the University site but it's one of my favourite 'Spoons.
First visit here & really enjoyed our visit. Cool atmosphere & everyone was friendly, just doing their thing, hanging out with friends having a good time. Drinks were good & amazingly cheap prices. Food was also good, had a bit of a wait but the place was extremely busy, the guys serving were very polite & friendly. Will definitely revisit at some point.
I had ordered a vegetable pizza for table 17, which is just in front of the cashier who took the order at the bar. After waiting about 30 minutes, I asked, “Where is my pizza?”. The cashier told me that I had said table 70. Supposing you misunderstood it, don’t you see the guy in front of you sitting at table 17? Then they brought my pizza with chicken. It was a camera prank, but I really don’t like it.
Besides, when I was waiting for the pizza, another waiter dropped my jacket off the chair without apologising.
I'd wanted to see the manager, but I was scared of being mistreated by the crew and left there. I`m writing here, so if the manager reads this, please let’s talk over this issue! I can evidence what I just wrote here. DEVASTATED!

UPDATE: The manager reached me, and yesterday we had a meeting. We watched the camera records of my visit from beginning to end. The manager verified what I wrote above, and he was so sorry. It was good to see a manager giving such value to customers.
Speaking of which, a couple of days ago I came to get coffee late at night, about 11 p.m. There was no coffee except decaf ones, so I wanted to get a refund, but the staff told me that they would gladly refill the coffee machine for me, and I got the coffee. I really appreciate it. It was such a nice gesture.
So, in the service industry, your job is certainly up to your employees. Thank you!
We went with our daughter on the University open day, the pub was very busy, very popular. We did have a bit of a wait, only to be expected, but not too long. The food was absolutely super, very hot and fresh. Staff attentive, polite and well presented, a very pleasurable experience. Would definitely recommend this place to all.
A good place. Popular for students and Joe public. Good beer garden. Pool tables. Prices are very cheap. Sky sports. Good access for disabled people. Staff are good and helpful.
The Sanctuary bar is a bit different from your usual Wetherspoons pub as it's actually on Hull University campus inside the Students Union Building. It is open to the general public like any other Wetherspoons. It's one large room with a large outside seating area and the toilets are on the ground floor for a change. The staff are great. You can order food and drinks on the app like any other Wetherspoons, three real ales on hand pumps, and there's a large pay & display car park on the campus. A great pub.
Wetherspoons, full of students, on s University campus lol what more can I say! It's nice to see other people except students in there as well. Otherwise it's your average Wetherspoons clone! If you've been to one, then you've been to them all. Great offers on drinks, which is always student friendly!
Had some lovely drinks in Wetherspoon at Sanctuary
Just what you expect from a Wetherspoons
Great prices and pub grub if you are hungry and don't want to break the bank
I have heard people critiscise the food but you get what you pay for....not haute cuisine but great for the price
Only been open for three months since being converted to a Wetherspoons
And you don't have to be a student either
To access go down Salmon Grove (West)
As in photo with Yoshi the Border Terrier right to the end and turn right as in second photo
Go straight on and it's only a couple of minutes walk you will see it as in photo 3
Access it through the students Union entrance as in photo 4 next to the Wetherspoons sales sign
Parking is not easy though
There are Two hour parking places on Cottingham road (West bound)available
Then just walk down Ferens Avenue and left into Salmon Grove
It's nice to have a Wetherspoons only a 25 minute walk from where we live....☺️👍
