Food was fantastic! Burgers were cooked perfectly and the garlic fries are to die for! Fantastic environment. Very friendly and the atmosphere was very cosy. We came back the next day for dinner again during our stay at Hopleys for the weekend. Love that dogs are allowed as well!

We came here for a meal to celebrate a family birthday. There was something on the menu to please everyone, including our fussy six year old. Portion sizes were spot on and everything was cooked to perfection. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, even when busy; getting the balance between making sure we were attended to and leaving us to enjoy our meal just right. We would definitely recommend and will be coming back again to try more from the menu!

Recently visited The Hop Pole last week for a meal with my family. And couldn’t be more pleased with our experience! Food was lovely with great portions and we all agreed brill value for money! The staff were very attentive and friendly and the overall atmosphere in the pub was so welcoming and cozy. Will definitely be popping in every once in a while for the foreseeable future! Couldn’t recommend more… Definitely worth a visit!

First visit to this lovely country pub for a Sunday lunch. It did not disappoint. Very tasty food and plenty of it. We were way too full for a pudding, so we'll have to come back for that another time. Lovely clean, tidy pub with friendly attentive staff. We'll definitely be visiting again soon 🙂

There are just some pubs and restaurants where you know that the food is cooked fresh to order, uses fresh produce, and changes the menu with the seasons... And the Hop Pole Inn is a shining example! My mum lives just down the road from the pub so I take her for lunch every few weeks. Every time we're greeted and given a nice table. The meals are all well prepared, full of flavour, and absolutely worth every penny.

Sadly, a large proportion of the menu was not available, which was extremely disappointing and really spoiled the whole meal. I ended up having the beer-battered cod & chips and my OH had the steak "pie". It was nice enough but the place was empty. The staff didn't seem bothered about a lot; there was no atmosphere and after eating we made a quick exit and walked down into Bewdley.

Popped in for food after hearing and reading some great reviews. Our meals were fantastic, probably the best burgers we've ever had!! And the cheesecake was out of this world good!! We were both expecting the place to be busier, and when we got our bill we can understand why it wasn't. I had to pay £6.10 for a pint of lager! I can walk 2 minutes up the road and get the same pint for £5! We questioned the staff about the price, apparently there's nothing they can do as the prices are set by the brewery. Seems such a shame as everything else was spot on. This place could be fantastic if they can sort the beer prices out!

We found this little gem a few weeks ago and I meant to leave a review then as the food was outstanding. I had a perfectly cooked piece of sea bass on a wonderfully abundant fish risotto and my partner had a good old fashioned pie, stuffed as full as it could be with tender beef. We vowed to return on ‘burger night’ as it seems harder and harder to find a decent burger these days without breaking the bank. Look no further! Genuinely the best home made burger Ive ever had, perfectly seasoned and cooked. I have given 5 stars as this place is a rare find and we will be frequent visitors but hope that they continue to grow as a business to enable them to expand their team, the existing team are all perfect hosts!

Great little pub! The food was pretty good. As we were a large group who pre ordered, I was a little disappointed with the length of time in serving us all. (The people first served on both tables had finished eating their dinner by the time the last people on the table finally got their meals!) I also found the prices quite high. In an equivalent local restaurant: I would get a chicken burger, including chips and a small side salad, for the same price I paid for the chicken burger. I had to order fries as an addition. Staff were pleasant but very busy, as we were a large party.

We spent a night at a nearby Airbnb and arrived without a reservation, with our 18-month-old daughter and our dog, unsure if we could get a table. The staff went out of their way to make us all happy, providing a box of toys and entertaining our daughter, treats for the dog, and excellent burgers and drinks for the parents. As we told the waitress, it felt so comfortable it was like being in a welcoming home. Thank you!

WELCOME TO BEWDLEY! I am 80 and suffer from multiple serious issues. My wife, aged 78, has Parkinson's. As the weather was warm, our son suggested going to a pub for a soft drink and light lunch to cheer us up. We plumped for The Hop Pole in Bewdley. We had never been there before; we will never go again. My son parked on the car park at the side of the pub which is on a hill. Trouble ahead: There is a flight of shallow steps to cope with. Eventually, we reached 'the summit'. We wanted to sit outside in the sun and noted the seating consisted of wide benches and tables. We find having no back support uncomfortable, likewise hard wooden seating. Our son went into the pub to ask for a cushion. They said they they had none. What? Every pub - indeed every house - has cushions! So we decided to find a more welcoming venue - and one sensitive to the old and infirm. The Hop Pole as not busy at the time. That evening, I rang the pub and spoke to a member of staff named Josh. He said the licensee was 'unavailable' . He did not specify the nature of the unavailability. He promised a return call. The call never came. Shoddy, slapdash 'service'. We drove on to The Running Horse and were treated royally. We had a lovely lunch - fried octopus, and two cheese toastis. The bill came to £30. Revenue lost to The Hop Pole. As you sow, so shall ye reap.

Family of 4 looking for a lunch spot and as soon as we arrived we were made to feel welcome. Arriving before the pub opened they opened the doors a tad early and despite half our party cancelling they were very friendly. Jo was very helpful with toys, high chairs and food recommendations. The roast, beef and pork, were beautifully presented and every element spot on. The beef was perfectly medium rare as ordered and the veg sweet and delicious. Recommend the extra cauliflower cheese too. Kids fish and chips was great quality with real fish fillet not processed. I actually said “I think this is one of the most appealing and tasty roasts I’ve ever had in a pub’ Lovely staff and great food. Highly recommend.

My husband chose a Beanas Dias Burger, & I selected a Cheeky Squeaky Burger for £9.95 each. The menu clearly stated they would be served with salad. However, the salad was missing from our plates. On enquiry we were told the single lettuce leaf served on the burger was in fact the salad! Not what we expected at all, & not good value for money. Went away feeling duped & disappointed. Won’t be going back either.

The menu had a good variety of meals. The most important thing was my wife has a dodgy tummy through ill health. She had the Beer Battered cod, she had no tummy problem after. Everything is freshly prepared and my daughter is a vegan and the meal they prepared was exceptional. Can't wait to there again. All the staff were very friendly and made us welcome.

Wow! What a fantastic new menu. Very up to date, with lots of choice. We loved being able to mix and match, with the small plates and some fries. The small plates are a good size and really good value. The veg pakoras were delicious, especially with the slaw they came with. But the PFC tenders were my favourite. I may have the PFC burger next time, when we try burger night again. The best fried chicken you’ll ever have! My husband had the steak and raved about how tasty it was, beautifully seasoned and all the accompaniments were perfect. Great beer and service too!

2 Rogan Josh and a pie were ordered.The pie was passable but nothing special , but the Rogan josh curry was not good at all! We come from the curry belt in Black country so know a decent curry...sadly this was not one.Sauce was ok but think it was poured over very dry chicken that hadn't been cooked in the sauce or marinate id say or even salted for that matter .Poppadom was very small and only need heating up even that was not crisp.The naan was under-cooked and too thick also .I told the waitress and to her credit she took on board my dissatisfaction and allowed me to choose the hop pole burger . That was so much nicer ..burger was tasty full of flavor and chips were great . So id say good burger but ditch the curry it did you no favours at all

The worst meal I think I have ever eaten. Birthday meal ruined by appalling food, terrible portions and awful service. The Caesar salad with chicken for £15 was an absolute scandal. The size of a small side salad, four measly pieces of over cooked chicken. The ciabattas were tiny and just served with over-fried chips and no dressing. Kids meals an overpriced half arsed joke. Chaos behind the bar and kitchen. No steak turned up for one of our party and they had the cheek to ask for a deposit!! Avoid like the plague, in fact, enjoy the plague more.

After really looking forward a family roast dinner at the hop pole, we were left bitterly disappointed! Service was slow from the off, when the food finally came out, it looked lovely; well presented! However, hidden under the Yorkshire pudding was a minute and measley amount of food! Two tiny slices of beef, two small roast potatoes 1 slice of carrot, 1 parsnip and a teaspoon of mash potatoes! They then brought out a tiny bowl of mixed tasteless mixed vegetables for all four of us to share! The food was tasteless and tiny! My two children and my partner ate it all as we were hungry, however we left hungry too! Not worth the price at all. Unfortunately, we won’t be going back- which is a real shame as this is our local.

We called in for lunch mid week about 13.00 & when asking for a table for two were told they would have to check with the kitchen, this seemed strange as the pub did not appear full & there were lots of empty tables. We were offered a table but told there would be a wait of about 30 mins before we could order food. As we had eaten there quite a few times in the past & enjoyed good meals we decided to stay. Our drinks arrived promptly but when we asked to order food there was a long wait before anyone came to take the order. Our food (fish finger sandwiches) arrived quite quickly & were very nice although the tartar sauce was unlike anything we had ever tasted before & not pleasant. As we paid we asked the very nice young man serving what it was made off & he came back with an answer that it was homemade but honestly it would have probably been tastier from a jar! Hopefully things will improve as we have always enjoyed our visits to the Hop Pole in the past.

We really wanted this to be great but unfortunately it was not! We are the couple that Emma S saw complaining about the Carbonara, not something we would usually do but it was really bad. We knew something was up as soon as we walked in, 7:30 on a Saturday night and the place was virtually empty plus as soon as we sat down we’re advised there were no steaks or pie available. We should had read the room and left but did want it to be good so gave it a go. Unfortunately we won’t be back and are not able to recommend.

Thought we would give The Hope Pole a go now it’s under new management/ownership. Not a huge menu which isn’t a problem, but then to be told there are things unavailable isn’t great even though it was early evening and very quiet. One of us ordered the fish and chips and played hide and seek to find any fish in all the batter. Carbonara, a really simple dish to make, was almost devoid of sauce, stodgy and lukewarm, accompanied by very dry hard garlic ciabatta. Steaks were mediocre at best. No we didn’t complain, we should have, but to be honest couldn’t face the whole conversation so we requested the bill, paid and left, passing a couple on another table in the middle of complaining about their food especially the carbonara. We tipped the waitress because she was lovely and helpful, but sadly we won’t be back!

Very unprofessional from front of house to the chef expecting you to eat raw beef,cold/dry pork and watery gravy.The main course came out when we still had starter plates,to the amusement of the young lad serving us,then very nearly dropped the lot. When challenged about the very raw beef,the chef sent the young girl out twice to defend his lack of cooking skills/customer care,we could go on but enough said!!

We live locally. Historically, pre lock down eaten at this establishment with no problem with the food and service. However, seen on social media a Saturday offer, we decided to book and go. I appreciate this establishment has since lockdown new ownerships. We ordered drinks , limited draft bottle beers and ciders they accommodated my drink but questioned the mix consistency which at the time was concerning. We ordered our food the hop pole burger and chips and a side of onion rings, later we were told the side was not available and was offered the menu for any alternative which we declined due to limited choice of sides. The meal came out the bread had been frozen and was dry the patty was over cooked and dry it was just about palatable. I over heard a member staff discussing on seating another table what’s not available off the menu and that it is due to the ownership is transitioning . This was not communicated to us on ordering our meals. The lady staff member was pleasant, but did not have a warming welcome which made it uncomfortable and not pleasant. My question is if you advertise a special ensure you have the quantities and relevant sides eg: coleslaw, salad etc The atmosphere is very different quite a few tv’s no cosy ambience for a country pub , we would have been better off going to the George in bewdley in town for what we had and paid for a quick dinner. We are lucky enough to go out in these economic conditions to enjoy food and quality time together. It is a shame a pub that I have recommended in the past has now declined. My advice to take heed over the availability menu and drinks and the quality which seems not to be sourced locally. Moving forward, I do question their business standards and strategy to generate regular custom we wish the new owner all the best but as locals we will not visit or recommend.

Totally underwhelming experience here.. booked for Sunday lunch and given menus, only to be told that there were no starters. How can a restaurant not have any starters?? Straight away you're thinking this isn't going to go well. No visible management on site, staff mainly made up of teenagers who although polite,do their best not to make eye contact in case they get asked to do something. Main meals came out, have to say the veg was nice but the beef was completely tasteless. This was my second visit here in a couple of months, where I had "locally sourced" sausage sandwich, which was barely cooked and totally awful.

We used to visit this pub regularly a few years ago, it had fantastic food and a fantastic atmosphere. Unfortunately after a change of owners, although the food was still good, we felt the pub itself had lost its way and decided we wouldn't be going back. After seeing that it was under new ownership again, and that the previous chef(s) were back in the kitchen we thought we'd give it another chance and so booked for Sunday lunch. WOW!!! We have not had a Sunday lunch of that quality anywhere, ever!! Perfect crispy roast potatoes, huge Yorkshire pudding, tasty tasty gravy and the beef!!! Perfectly cooked and so tender. We will definitely be going back. The atmosphere and staff are also brilliant! So glad to see our old regular pub starting to buzz again. Fantastic work guys, we'll see you very soon!

Superb food service and atmosphere! We saw the advertised Monday curry club deal and it was spot on! Great quality food and unreal pricing, to top it off the cask ales were only £2.80 a pint! Very impressed and looking forward to coming back again!

Awful food, not much choice as no ingredients available, service was terrible, we won’t be spending our hard earned money in there again!!

Quite a strange experience 🤔 Upon entering, we felt we had interrupted a private party. There were people sitting around a log burner , children fighting, like being at home! We ordered, and after a while, we're told there weren't enough chips, so we had to alter the type of chip. The service was extremely slow, and the waitress kept trying to encourage us to order more drinks. I ordered a dish off a verbal special menu without knowing the price and was amazed the amount charged for basic veg with a shortcrust pastry. It was tasty, though.

Went here with the family the other day as our daughter wanted to treat us to lunch. The little one had a Curry, which she said was rather spicy and it didn't say this on the menu. I had Sausage and Mash although the sausage had no spice or anything to it and tasted of nothing at all. Mum had a Mushroom Brushetta and some soup of the day which she said was lovely. We had some drinks and the bill came to just over £50. The service was fine, although the chap behind the bar appeared like he hadn't been doing this for very long. No criticism as we all have to start from somewhere. Anyway, the food was lovely and would definitely go there again , just not to have the sausage and mash, although the mash was lovely.

Interior a bit clinical. Beer and food good, but side salad completely overpriced.

Popped in on our way home from a drive out … wasn’t sure about it as was owned by marstons which normally means reheated or microwaved food…. However we were pleasantly surprised the chef was amazing I had a starter of homemade tomato and red pepper soup and the Mrs had Camembert and both was amazing … onto the main course I had the homemade steak and ale pie the steak chunks melted in your mouth and the puff pastry was great .. my partner had pan fried chicken breast in a Spicey sauce which was also very nice … all in all was a very nice meal and would go back again even bought the chef a pint as his soup was on point .

My son and I enjoyed a delicious Sunday Roast here. The food was superb and the staff a credit to the Restaurant.

We visited last Saturday evening to catch up with some friends. The service was friendly and efficient and can highly recommend the food- found the portion sizes to be just right and the wine is very well priced. More than happy to recommend The Hop Pole for a meal if you are looking for somewhere in Bewdley.

Haven't had the oppertunity to try the food yet but the decor and atmosphere is very good. Good selection of beers and are reasonably priced.

Got there and easy to park,we were welcomed with smiles and happy faces. Menue not large but plenty to choose from . Sea food risotto was lovely but a very small portion .partner had finished it and we were still only 1/4 of the way through out steak sandwich and t bone pork .food was tasty . Atmosphere was lovely until foul mouthed men in corner started swearing constantly with no thought for childrens ears . Great pub plenty of seating just on this occasion spoilt by a couple of customers .wedone to the chef and bar staff .

Had read reviews so a bit sceptical... T's on the Beef. Tough but tasty. As I had read, only a small bowl of Veg between four. Glad we ordered a few sides... 2.95 each....

Our second visit. They have a small dog-friendly section, we had our dog with us. We were celebrating a family birthday. The reasonably priced roast dinner buffet is excellent, favourites at our table were the gammon and venison. There is a host of delicious vegetable side dishes. The price included a dessert which the menu tells us was taken at the table. There is an option to purchase a kids roast dinner which we recommend for children, we had two teens. However, we waited a considerable amount of time, well over a half hour for this. When we found someone to enquire the young lady (we had enquired twice) assured us that it would be sorted. All the desserts were good, my only comment was that the Eton Mess was considerably lacking in meringues a very tiny amount, I asked if there was additional meringue that could be added but the young lady insisted that I already had some. All things considered well worth it, we drive neatly 40 min to enjoy it - local parks and dog walks make it a lovely afternoon out.

Great little shop / cafe, very welcome addition to the area. Lovely breakfast that was great value for money, dog friendly also which is great as so many people around the area have dogs.
