The Hop Pole Inn in Wyre Forest - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Having worked in hospitality for 30 odd years, I can be very critical, but, I have got to say 11/10. Lovely pub with very friendly, welcoming and effecient staff. The food was delicious and the dogs were very welcome. Just wish we lived closer, but we will see you next year when we are holidaying in the area 🐾

Lovely pub, very clean, small garden out the back could do with bit of tidy up

If this influences your choice to dine here for a Sunday dinner, I hope you have the same experience as myself because that was the best plated dinner I've ever had. 3 meats, cauli cheese and pigs in blankets. Definitely back again, thank you chef for Definitely not disappointing.

Brilliant Pub booked at short notice. Evening out with hubby for our anniversary.Wonderful food freshly cooked and good quality. Lovely staff attentive and helpful with recommendations. Check allergies before taking order... thanks for making our evening perfect.

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.

Food was excellent at a good price. Staff were friendly but long delay getting food from kitchen

Lovely place with friendly staff and great food!

Best Sunday lunch you will find around these parts, superb!

Excellent food small menu but loads of variety

Came in for their advertised thursday burger night and it didn't disappoint at all! We had the best and tastiest burgers we've ever had! £10 for a great sized, well made meal, you'd be hard pressed to find a better deal anywhere else. Brilliant lively atmosphere as well and the staff were spot on. Kudos to the chefs, we'll definitely be back next week!

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!

Sunday lunch is fantastic. Beef, Lamb or Pork. Friendly service from staff. Owner is the chef so care is taken on the food.

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.

Lovely little pub - staff were amazing

I like to stop at Hop Pole for a drink. I like the garden area in good weather.

We are staying in Bewdley for the weekend And had Sunday lunch, which was very enjoyable. The staff were very helpful and attentive, the food was excellent and of a great quality and in our opinion great value for money. Based on our experience would highly recommend it. Well done

Serving food now, seven days a week, and it's delicious. Looks a lot better inside now as well and has a nice outside seating area. Friendly service. Good for both, just a drink or for eating out. Reasonable prices. We went with a large group and service was brilliant. The meat here is top quality, particularly the chicken wings which are much better than in most places as well as the steak.

We enjoyed a lovely Fathers Day lunch. The food was delicious, the service great and the atmosphere friendly and relaxed.

We had dinner here last night. Lovely staff who were friendly and professional and even looked after our dog very well. The food was good honest pub food. My steak was tasty and perfectly cooked. All in all a good find. Well done team Hope Pole😊

Visited last night for a work meal with a large group of people and the pub handled it brilliantly. The food was really nice and the staff were completely lovely and managed orders very well. All in all top notch!

1st visit to the Hop Pole and won't be the last. All the food was delicious. Plenty of it too. Sweets were equally as good and all well presented. The Staff were all friendly and helpful. We also had 2 dog's with us which wasn't a problem. They both had a fuss made of them. Thank you

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.

First time here but won’t be the last. Gorgeous home cooked Sunday lunch. Great service. Cannot fault. Will be back , wish we could have stayed for pudding as they also looked great. But had to rush. Next time 👍

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.

we got here after an hour long drive and got turned down after we booked in advance and the man was very unfriendly and rude and didn’t help us at all very unimpressed.

Great local pub Worth a visit if you are in the area

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!

They obviously have a chef who can produce good food. It's the little things that make a good place a fabulous place..... like hot plates, like getting drink orders correct, like a few more vegetables with Sunday roast, all of which we had issues with.

Really enjoyed our meal here - fantastic service and a lovely setting :) will definitely come back!

There are just some pubs and restaurants where you know that so the food is cooked fresh to order, uses fresh produce, and changes the menu with the seasons... And the Hip 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.

A nice traditional rural English pub, a 10 minute walk from the centre of Bewdley. Nice food and helpful service, you can't really go wrong.

We had the sharer between us, it was absolutely delicious and more than enough. It’s a lovely homely pub, our server was so friendly and couldn’t do enough. Definitely will come again and recommend if you are in Bewdley area.

Pint at lunchtime, decent enough for what I wanted.

Had a fantastic family 60th birthday gathering. We booked it for 18 people where we were given the entire restaurant area where we could add our own bunting and balloons etc..The menu was tailored to what we wanted. Every person around the table enjoyed the meal, especially the steak. The staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful, making a memorable night with a lovely atmosphere. Thank you James and all at the Hop Pole.

What an absolute great night at THE HOP POLE PLACE WAS PACKED TO THE RAFTERS. Great quize master in Nick and lovely food at the break. Thoroughly recommend this for a great night and a bit of fun with a lot of nice people will be coming again

Had a brilliant Sunday lunch with excellent service and a very nice pint of real ale. The pub is dog friendly and has a nice atmosphere, the service was friendly and quick but didn’t feel rushed. The food was very nice. A good portion and very tasty. I would come here again. Had a pint of Real ale which was well kept and very nice too. A decent selection of Real Ales.

Welcoming and friendly staff with a great selection on the menu. Outdoor seating with views over Bewdley.

The sea bass looked like a child’s portion and the staff agreed that this should not have been served. The issue was resolved but it meant we each ate alone as it took time. We hadn’t eaten there before and are unlikely to return. Shame. The pub looked good.

Good food and really lovely friendly staff.

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

Popped in @ lunchtime on a Saturday. Warm welcome, excellent beer & the food was scrumptious. This is a dog friendly pub, with a lovely relaxed atmosphere, just the thing after a hike through the Wyre forest. Will definitely be visiting in the future

Went for a family night out, had some amazing burgers and a brownie that completely filled me up, portions were great and service was fast and of great quality, would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a cozy night out with friends or family.

We visited for the burger night launch. Three of us hand the Pendo’s fried chicken burger and one had the o.g burger. These were hands down the best burgers we’ve ever had. We will definitely be back! 😋

Can't say anymore than just excellent

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.

We visited The Hop Pole Inn for Sunday lunch last week as a group of four. The quality of the food was superb, and the portions were huge. A welcoming, relaxed atmosphere with polite and friendly staff. I would highly recommend dining here. We will be back!

I went for my birthday with my sister. The food and service were amazing. It comfortable and cozy and very welcoming. And the chef wrote happy birthday in chocolate on my gorgeous cheesecake dessert, which made it very special. Thank you to all at the hop pole x

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!

Went for my birthday with the family had the sharing platter and everything on it was fantastic! Well worth the money and more than enough for two. Highly recommend. Thanks Team Hop Pole xx

From ringing to book, to arrival, service and upon leaving the staff couldn't help enough and the Sunday dinner sharer was unreal.... the beef came pink and it was stunning.... I'm sure if you ask for it a bit more cooked they would accommodate as nothing seemed too much..... highly recommended and I will definitely be returning 🤤🤤

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.

Delicious lunch, fantastic staff! Sandwiches were so decadent and tasty - exactly what we wanted - thank you!

Popped in as we were driving past to see if they were doing food, was told the kitchen was just closing as they'd finished lunch but the chef very kindly said he'd make us a meal. Food was amazing, great beer as well and the bar staff were brilliant. Definitely be back

Great food and service. Friendly staff. Good atmosphere.

Mondays cask ales 2.80 a pint 🍻 very good price. Think if kept those prices all week would do well because more people would go there. Hence bigger turn over bigger bottom line

Super yummy pie. Beautiful interior and nice menu. I enjoyed my visit

Great food and friendly staff, superb!

They catered for 16 of my family and friends. We were put on one large table that made it easy for us to converse. They all congratulated me on my choice of venue for our get together. The food was excellent, the staff were pleasant. I would highly recommend it.

Not usually one for writing reviews but the food and service was excellent. There was 16 of us and the staff and kitchen dealt with it amicably. Highly recommended.

Lovely Sunday lunch disappointment there were no starters, and the desert was a very small portion for £6.25, may be that was the last bit left and was cut into 2 pieces in order to serve 2. Will go back as the food was very nice.

Absolutely must, excellent staff, beer and food and dog friendly. Book or turn up early, to avoid disappointment... Well done the Hop Pole,. We will be back. 😀

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 hadn’t been here for food for a while but weren’t disappointed when we recently visited again. The gammon and home made pie were fantastic and the Camembert starter was just as good. Desserts looked incredible!

Lovely Lunch today, not been since the change of ownership but it was all good. Food and service were excellent, keep up the good work.

Enjoyed a great 'light bites' lunchtime menu. Delicious home made food and exceptional value for money. We will be back soon if we are lucky enough to get a table.

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.

Great food, friendly and helpful staff. 👌

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.

Popped in off the cuff for Lunch on a Monday, ordered the Pie, was absolutely delicious, puff pastry was delicious and the gravy, mash, veg and meat all delicious, nice twist to a pie, 100% recommended

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....

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 .

Very nice play to eat. Friendly staff good service and most importantly very good food 👌

Customer service poor tables empty but could not get a meal. Would not recommend anyone going there give it a miss.

Fab Sunday lunch - my husband and I both had the sirloin of beef and huge yorkie, added cauliflower cheese. Hubby had the homemade apple crumble and custard to follow, also delicious.

We had a meal here after visiting West Midlands Safari, all of our food was really good, very reasonable price.

2 course lunch menu was perfect for a light lunch in the middle of the week. We ate mushroom bruschetta, followed by fish & chips. All the food was tasty, service was friendly & we were advised up front that it would not be a fast service. Food is cooked to order, we appreciated being notified of this. We would have given higher rating but where we sat the restaurant was quite noisy due to the acoustics. We will be back soon & next time will try a dessert.

AVOID Poor for allergies and service !!! Came in over a week ago , I am celiac. They clearly have no idea of allergies nor do they care. Menu labelled as GFO however food is all cooked in same fryer which they seem to think is fine . I was served bread and told it was 100% GF after a while then told they had made a mistake. They brought a slice of microwaved bread out , no new dips !!!!! The chicken I ordered was dry , my son refused to eat his sausages as”they were nasty” . My parents didn’t eat the meals they were meh!! Overpriced poor food and service. The only other 2 diners complained about their food. The service was non existent the waitress kept disappearing we had to go find her to order over and over . Nearly 20 mins for a drink order!! Gave them a chance to respond apparently CALLUM was looking into the mistakes , who couldn’t be bothered to respond back !!! AVOID if you suffer any type of intolerance or allergies for your own safety .

Excellent food, couldn’t fault it. Lovely staff, served with a smile. Recently re vamped, and tastefully decorated. Nice atmosphere, will certainly go there again.

Not as gud as it looks in web pics...food was ok.

Service was great! Local beers were available and the food was amazing! 🤤

Good varied menu, including some nice vegan options. The food was good. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was very quiet, but we did go midweek. We didn't need to book, but it may be busier at the weekend.

I decided to organise my Brother a surprise Birthday dinner for his 50th with his friends and family. The Staff at the Hop Pole were super helpful and did a brilliant job on the night. The service was fantastic and the quality of the food was fantastic. We had a semi-private room for 20 guests which was perfect. Great value, and really lovely pub.

A restful and friendly setting with family friendly facilities and great views when sitting at the rear. Functions also scheduled including fund raising. Will definitely call in again as totally recommend for the range of drinks and hospitality.

Lovely place with loads of outside seating (just need the weather now!) Staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. Unfortunately the wait for our meal was very long. Sweetcorn fritters were good & the spiced cauliflower soup was tasty but so thick it was more of a puree. My hot & sour chicken curry was delicious and plenty of it. Shame the poppadom was burnt in the middle(microwaved?) We expected the 'daily pie' to be homemade but looked bought in which was disappointing and, for the price of the meal it would have been nice to have more than just peas as veg.
