A lovely local pub, the best in Carshalton with a great selection of cider and mead available which I have sampled on numerous occasions. Frequent beer festivals and interesting sour beers. Well worth a visit!

Hadn't been for quite a while .... 5y+? Still excellent beer and food. Had a pot meal. Pub has been extended which it had always needed. Pretty busy on a Saturday from 12-5.30pm. Maybe 2 x 10m quiet slots but never overcrowded. Shame I live further away now 😕 But will enjoy it more when I am over that way.

This is god's pub. If you like traditional beer and ales, plus the chance to actually hear a conversation with your mates without the background babble of tellies showing sport or muzak this is for you. Children are infrequent visitors because this is not the kind of place they would enjoy. There are plenty of child friendly pubs where everybody can be happy. There is no mention of 'craft beer' here as what is on offer goes way beyond the marketing hype that accompanies foul tasting brews in need of slices of fruit to cheer them up. Food is served. Simple food but of such great quality it cannot fail to satisfy all but the most pretentious palate. And the beer? Did I mention the beer?

The Hope is a great pub, and one that I am proud to call my local. The beer is very good, and the food at lunch time is just good pub grub at a good price. The one strange thing is that it takes me 20 minutes to walk there, and almost 30 to walk home ?

One of my favourite pubs in the world. Cozy nautical themed what's not to love. The beer selection on real ales is truly outstanding with two permanent beers , a golden ale and a bitter plus 4 more guest ales you really are spoiled. No mainstream brands here if you want a lager you'll have to have the proper German stuff which is a treat even for an ale lover myself. Their little bowl meals are really tasty, varied and cheap, even recreated one at home I loved it so much. Furthermore there is a hugeeeee outdoor area with heaters and covered seating which allows for use all year around. Finally the price of a pint here rarely goes over a fiver with most ales sitting around the 4-4.50 price point which is so refreshing these days. Myself and freinds travel an hour to get to this place as its just so special. The staff are fab , being knowledgeable ,polite and quick. Genuinely you must visit this pub. I can't overstate that enough. 10/10 guys.

Been wanting to go for ages, was great! Really cosy vibe inside but also massive (doesn't look like it would be from the front!) Can park in the car park for free, just need to register your car when you get there. Hot pots were all so delicious and good value for money! Defo coming again!

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.

This is a cracking little pub. I made the trek down from SW17 to see what the fuss was about and very glad I did. Great selection of ales, staff friendly, really nice laid back ambience where everyone seems to know everyone. PLUS normal prices. If you are looking for a quiet pint(s) with friends or a bit of a beer connoisseur then it should be on your list. Certainly I will be coming down again and recommend others to do the same.

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!

Famed for its quality and range of beers, it is a wet led pub. Though there is a good menu at lunchtimes and simple pot meals in the evening. Children are not allowed and dogs must be kept on a short lead.

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)

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.
