Traditional pub with lots of charm and a great outside area. Only minor thing is phone signal is quite poor and there is no Wi-Fi in the beer garden

Amazing place. Fantastic range of beers and I'd you time your visit right, often last Thursday and a Friday of the month, the pub runs bespoke cask beer festivals with a good 15 or sir casks on and a range of keg beer too. Orginial bar snacks as well. This is a just visit venue!

Can’t believe I hadn’t reviewed the Hope. It’s a local institution and was my ‘local’ for several years. When in the area I still make an effort to go. Great range of beers, always something new, regularly have limited or rare releases. If you haven’t been, you’re missing out.

There is a reason this pub won the Camra award for 2023 (and many years prior). Nick, Mark, Dom and the team carefully source various tasty beers to delight all tastes. Karen and Zibbi create wholesome, flavoursome and very affordable meals that work beautiful with the drinks available. For those who aren't too fond of beer, there are many ciders, several spirits (including about 10 or so of each gin and whiskey) to choose from. They also have multiple ciders and mead to choose from. There's a large, well kept garden at the rear, which makes it perfect for the Summer, especially during their monthly beer festivals (held at the end of each month) Get there early to nab a table - they fill up fast!

The pub served beers so good, they could baptize you in hoppy glory. But, beware, it's not just the pints that are intoxicating. Met six folks—four were hops enthusiasts, two moonlighted as amateur philosophers of hate. A perplexing blend of brews and bigotry; sipping the beers, not the toxic views, is the key survival skill here. Cheers to the beers, may they drown out the unpleasant aftertaste of ignorance!

As far as beer goes, this place cannot be beaten. It always has a superb selection of ales and something for everyone, no matter what your taste. Its range of snacks is outstanding, and overall the quality of the food gets better every time we eat there. They also have a beer festival at the end of each month which is usually so popular most of the stock is gone in a day and a half. Cannot recommend this place highly enough, especially if you have even a passing interest in a pint 😉

Great pub, great selection of well kept beers too. Nothing from the usual suspect breweries, this is a thinking man's boozer! Well deserved of their CAMRA accolades. I also enjoy the monthly themed mini-beer festivals, featuring around 15-18 beers. Excellent idea. Have yet to try their pub meals, but as they're all under a fiver, you can't really go wrong.

Real pub. Good selection of reasonably priced real ale. No TV. No music blaring. Friendly bar staff. Decent pub food. As perfect as you get. Updated after COVID - the beer and food have gone up slightly - typically 50p to £1. Really nothing considering how cheap they were to start with. Still the best pub by far Updated - still excellent. Great selection of beers - you can ask to try any in a shot glass and the bar staff are knowledgeable enough to suggest what you may like based on what you have had. Tip - the pump on the far left had the strongest beer, usually only sold in halfs or thirds depending on strength Updated again. Still by far the best pub for a long way. We seem to have had a big turnover in staff, but still helpful, really good selection of good beer, good basic pub food at decent prices. Really recommend it unless it's busy and you are taking up my table space! Updated again. Yep, still streets ahead as the best pub for a long way. Beers and beers selec tion fantastic. Basic pub food excellent and very reasonable. Beer festivals usually once a month at the last weekend (Thursday lunch till Saturday, although I normally drink it by Friday night)

Oh no, I couldn't give the Hope 5 stars. Last time I went it was a wet Friday evening and the place was standing room only. By the time I managed to get to the bar I didn't have a chance to see what was new in the continually changing choice of beer. The bar staff worked tirelessly but the place was too busy and loud for a relaxing drink for me. I'm sure I'll go again, but not on a Friday. Addendum, a bit of a time since my last review. Visited Sunday lunchtime. This time the sun was shining, the atmosphere was more relaxed. The food was great, fresh and the portions were large. Great choice of beer and had time to make a decision. The engine room of the pub is the staff and they worked hard and were friendly. Long overdue but I'm happy to add that extra star.

Nice looking pub always wanted to pop in so I did the booze was ok the cider was nice the service was ok after waiting and passed up a few times getting served even tho I was next in line maybe is because I have a skin head and I like my head smooth or something lol however the atmosphere was a little strange 95 percent all men and strangely enough the 40yo virgin types that live at home with mummy types really strange atmosphere to be honest. So if your looking for a normal boozer this is not really the place unfortunately it's a shame tho every else even the food looks great however I wouldn't be going back to the hope. We ended up in the racehorse across the road in the end

A truly excellent pub. Well kept ales. A good selection of ales We ordered a ham sandwich; it was very good. It was good because firstly it was real ham and secondly on a Saturday lunchtime they served the ham in bread that had clearly been baked in the past couple of hours. Then to cap it all they had about 8 Morris sides performing FOC all afternoon. A day to remember.

As a brewer, whenever I come across good quality cask beer that's served correctly, it's a delight. So many places get it wrong. The Hope offers an incredibly diverse selection of very well kept beer (cask and keg), as well as cans and bottles. Service is friendly and efficient, and there's no music, or TV background noise. Because of the latter, neurodiverse people can enjoy peaceful time there, which is a wonderful arrangement.❤️ No wonder that the pub wins award after award. Looking forward to returning.

I always feel really grateful and appreciative to have this pub within (just about) walking distance of home; whenever the missus and I head along there's always a great range of nicely priced craft, draft and keg beers and ciders on (especially so during their festivals), the snacks and meals are top (and also nicely priced), the staff are friendly and efficient, the vibe is agreeably unassuming, and the crowd is chill. Plus one'll occasionally hear ad-hoc music sessions, or see Morris dancing in the garden. It's exactly what a pub like this should be, and so I'm not at all surprised they keep being awarded all the CAMRA beer guide recommendations.
