The Royal Hop Pole in Tewkesbury

The staff are very friendly and helpful. Great for a quick meal.

The best Witherspoons I have been to . The garden area was massive plenty of tables to enjoy good food drink and sunshine . ( Witherspoons get out and talk )

Beautiful venue! Welcoming, friendly, quick service. Had a wonderful full English breakfast and a refillable coffee served in the morning sun. Perfect!

Always very busy but easy to find a table. It's a Spoons so you know what you are getting.

The best managed Wetherspoons I have been in.

Love this Wetherspoons. Visit everytime I go to Tewkesbury. Good food & cheap drinks.

Great value for money and a tasty breakie too

An enjoyable stay, a lovely place, lots of history & very friendly and helpful staff, especially the night porter, Malcolm 🤗

Nice pub. Just a real shame you can't bring a well behaved dog in the pub or garden.

Nice spoons in a lovely location. Very busy with a nice atmosphere. Staff friendly and helpful. Food was typical spoons.

We had been to the Tewkesbury abbey art exhibition on a Monday night. Very busy in the pub. Staff were friendly and the food was ok. Good value for money.

My favourite Wetherspoons. Staff so friendly. Clean and tidy pub. Food great. Did not stay in hotel so cannot review this.

Great value weekend getaway, but look out for the ghosts!!

Always enjoy coming here for breakfast each month. Delicious food and swift service.

Great pub and hotel for tewkesbury, location was fabulous, the rooms very nice with good beds, nice linen and towels, biscuits and tea and coffee tray, staff were so nice and the pub is excellent for breakfast lunch and dinner

You know what you are going to get. Good is basic but rooms are excellent value

Really nice pub in Tewkesbury. Excellent service from staff plus good cask ale choice. Rooms really good. Parking better than lot of Wetherspoons pubs.

Great hotel/bar, the only thing I'd say about this place getting around it to find your room is like a maze but apart from that it's great 👍

Always go there for a good Breakfast, at a very good price Cannot complain about the service

Lovely old building. Service efficient and food piping hot .

Nice wetherspooons. Would say overall it’s a long thin spoons. Too many high tables rather than normal tables. We sat near the back near the toilets. Which are all on ground level. So that’s good. Drinks very quick to arrive. Food was slower, although it was mid afternoon (2pm) on a Saturday. Overall an OK spoons.

Value for money good beer, thank you.

Called on our way home, (we diverted off M5). Horrible rainy night but we were able to park outside pub. Staff were helpful and friendly. The meal was decent - reasonable portions and well cooked. Always a bit wary when visiting Wetherspoons as standards can be variable with quality and quantity. Value is usually reasonable and this was good, beer is much better value than so many other pubs. Meal and drink package is good (we had guinesses and orange juice with the meal. With Doombar at less than £2 a pint we would have had more if we were not driving. Budget eating and drinking (not fancy) but overall good value clean and good friendly service.

Room (208 I think) was lovely, comfortable and clean. Though I think it was near the kitchen outlets as it was rather noisy when I opened the window. The stairs were a bit tight to navigate, but this is impossible to avoid with properties like this, just worth noting for those with mobility issues.

Stayed for two nights with two other couples and we all thought it was a good choice. Really old hotel with many original features but modern room furnishings and bathroom. We were in 104 which faced towards the river and was quiet and warm although very cold outside. The staff were all very friendly and one of the check in ladies told us a lot about the history of the hotel. Car parking is free for residents, just give them your car reg when checking in and also free coffee in the bar just show them your room card. The rooms have good showers and a hairdryer for the wife, coffee, tea, hot chocolate and biscuits. The pub is quite large with several different rooms and a real log fire in one. The breakfast is the usual Spoons menu so cheap and a lot of choice and was served quickly and hot Would definitely stay there again if going to Tewkesbury

One of the largest Wetherspoons I've been to. Rooms were large, comfy beds. There is a medieval hall in the middle of it. Very good value for money and directly in town.

OK place to have something to eat and drink. Dogs and children welcome

Good food, loads of seating , lovely garden by the river

Great pub we love going to. Snuggle up by an open fire too

Food was deed full you definitely get what you pay for , steaks just full of gristle definitely cheap cuts of left over meat I wasn’t expecting a fantastic steak but I definitely wasn’t expecting an absolute dreadful steak Two bites that was about it server wasn’t bothered when I mentioned sounds like it’s an every day complaint Infact I would say you get a lot less than you pay for Never again dreadful muck

Nice cosy place for a meal on a cold January day. Usual cheap food and speedy service

Excellent wetherspoons and very nice food and a great atmosphere. I did not have a room so can't review it.

Yet another lovely stay over in Tewkesbury at the Royal Hop Pole room 102 was very pleasant so re booked for next week. Check in was good, staff very attentive, breakfast very nice See you next week

Good Spoons with good food and service. Try the Big Smoke burger and cookie crumble pudding with a portion of Belgian chocolate sauce.

Nice place in a perfect part of town, the rooms are really nice but are very small and not tall people friendly with wooden beams running through some of the rooms and small doorways but other than that the rooms are perfectly fine, service would be 5* but on two separate occasions hours apart there was nobody on the check in desk, I don't know if this is a normal thing or if on the day they were short staffed but it was the only let down.

We had a great stay new years eve and new years day.the pub was lovely very busy .clean. food was lovely. staff very pleasant. constantly asking if everything was ok. I expected it to be noisy we faced the front very peicefull id go agsin

Freindly and polite staff. Great place to stay, rooms are well equipped and beds are very comfortable. Food is alwsys well prepared. Good selection of beverages - particularly real ales.

Absolutely lovely staff giving lovely quality service. I went with a large group and the staff I interacted with were so friendly. I would definitely recommend

It's a spoons! Always what you expect of a spoons

The restaurant is what it is. ok with a small O and small K. The car park however is NOT ok, and policed by Euro Car Parks. Be warned. I bought a ticket unaware there was a time limit. I'm now in a battle with them for overstaying by 80 minutes, as they try to extort £75 from me. It does Wetherspoons image no favours

Excellent service and a good choice of food and drinks

My family and I had a lunch here. Nice building, but rubbish food! Pizza was like cardboard and burgers were tasteless. My mums fish and chips were ok. The best thing on my plate was the onion rings, and you can’t really get those wrong! It’s ok for a drink but I won’t be eating here again.

Best Werherspoons I have been in. Full of history. Lovely building

Always like the hop pole as good service and good atmosphere. Lots of food choice if you want something quick to eat.

It's Weatherspoon but location is great and nice and large so you don't feel like it's to crowded but looking tired and could do with a make over ,one staff member who was clearing tables stood with family behind us talking for ages ,while tables needed cleaning and other staff rushing around,not professional

Great meeting place and lovely meal at good price

Had baked potato with salad at the side twice now in different weatherspoons the salad has been disgusting. And also partner had butter milk chicken burger roll was burnt not the best chicken neither

Quick service good food. Not been here before looks like they are having a make over. Difficult to find the pub because lots of scaffolding making Difficult to make out on the high street. Nice beer garden and a good location. Worth a visit

Value for money breakfast, but the lighting is very poor and means it is too dark inside. Service was excellent. Still too dark in main area

Lovely Old Spoons. Not suitable for disabled to stay as rooms upstairs. Lovely Old building. Food very good and fast.Free coffee all day for guests. Staff efficient and friendly. Excellent outside terrace and beer gardens right on the river. Free car park for hotel guests. Town centre and near Abbey.

I can’t speak to the lodging, as I didn’t see a room but visited the pub, had two meals and multiple pints over several days during an early summer visit to Tewkesbury. The service was good and attentive, the beer and ale perhaps too good - as on my second visit I left behind a small backpack. In the morning, the reception staff had located the lost item and graciously returned it with a smile. The garden out back is an absolute delight - with multiple spaces and table configurations as it slopes down across brick patio to grass field closest to the Mill Arm of the Avon. Access from the front, or from the foot path that runs along the Mill arm and which provides easy access to the car park. Dogs welcome, centrally located to the Cathedral and High street.

Visited this Wetherspoons whilst on a weekend away trip we were unsatisfied with the food we had ordered on thursday evening during curry club , we had ordered two curries with the extras that came with the curry, the curries were rather watery and runny more like soup and tasted bland with no flavour , the chips that also came with the fish and chips we had also ordered were overcooked , other customers were also complaining about their food on that particular night , food taken back and food left on tables as people left.

Very cheap as usual, good service as usual, unlike the rest of pubs

Excellent staff,food and service

Lovely bacon rolls and refilable hot drinks

Exploring the pub with a stay in it's guest rooms in the planning stage, fabulous setting in this truly beautiful town, typical good value and quality wetherspoons food, staff super friendly and attentive.

What Wetherspoons have done to renovate and restore this building is amazing.

I didn't stay in a room so can't date it. But this is a big spoons with aovely water side garden

great service and this spoons has a beautiful beer garden next to the river.

Stopped here for food on our journey home. I received a parking fine for using the car park. I purchased a ticket from the machine, but it turns out the car park is divided in two. Half is the pub's and the other half the Council's. I didn't realise this and purchased a ticket for the council side, but parked in the pub side. We aren't local so won't be back. The food was average, but the service was good.

Steeped in history, a massive pub, plenty of dinning space. Big pub garden overlooking the river Avon. New dishes on offer ….. they do RAMEN!!! Yay

I spent a very pleasant couple of hours here on a cold June evening (!) after a concert at the nearby Tewkesbury Abbey. Very friendly staff and good unfussy food. The locals seemed a friendly bunch too. Very enjoyable.

Great environment, lovely garden and better than Nandos Piri Piri chicken and the Mediterranean salad fabulous 😋

Surprisingly ancient and valuable table in the passage, apparently very special!!!

We had a really nice meal here.the food was great staff very friendly and helpful, it was the cleanest wetherspoons we have been to the staff were cleaning up as soon as people were leaving, and very attentive, will be going back for sure,it's a pity all wetherspoons weren't like this one ,they deserve recognition for there work in Tewkesbury

Enjoyed our experience here today.

Great place to stay. Room excellent, food and drink a great price as well as great taste. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Tewksbury is a great place to visit.

First visit to this wetherspoons. What strikes you first is the size of this place, it's the biggest wetherspoons I've been to by far. We popped in for lunch. The service was fast and the staff were friendly. The food was hot and fresh and as always excellent value. Plus, this place has a huge garden that leads down to the river.

This place is heaven on earth! An old coaching inn, beautifully kept in keeping with its origins and beautifully maintained beer gardens on the banks of the river Avon . It is at the heart of a small town with the most beautiful minster, which is worth a visit. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the food is good and hot, and the beer is reasonably priced. The staff are lovely and accommodating, and I couldn't praise the place highly enough. The picture is sunset from the beer garden!!

Staff pleasant n helpful. Nothings changed, still all good. June '24 update, still the same, staff pleasant n service gud

Usual witherspoon menu,messed up on our order,didn't rectify it not very helpful staff.old historical building,but very dark.

I ordered the bacon butty and asked for it to be well cooked. It was the worst bacon I have ever had at any Wetherspoons. All the sides had a lot of almost raw fat which I had to cut off. The bacon was tasteless too. I did not complain, but won't be returning again for breakfast. It beggars belief how any decent kitchen staff can allow that to go out of the kitchen. My husband, however, was happy with his sausage butty.

One of the better weather spoons pub. Great outdoor space

I ordered a panini which was described as barbecue chicken, bacon and cheese. When it arrived there was no cheese at all, the bacon was hardly cooked and as for the barbecue chicken it was just ordinary pieces of chicken but the panini had a very sparsely spread layer of barbecue sauce. When I called the waitress over to tell her there was no cheese on my panini, she said oh, well I could take it back and get some put on it if you want. Strangely enough, yes, I'd actually prefer to have what I've paid for. I told her to leave the bacon out and when it came back it was edible but not a great experience. I'm a big fan of Wetherspoons but I'm finding lately their prices are rising but their standards are dropping. The garden is a nice location by the river and the staff seem friendly enough but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back. I wasn't staying in the hotel, just passing through.

Recommended for drinks or meal. Lot of space food is good staff friendly

The best wetherspoons I've visited. The food was excellent, and the service was great. A massive beer garden and smoking & non-smoking defined areas, which was good. Would definitely visit again. Didn't stay in the rooms so can't comment on those.

Brilliant hotel /wetherspoons staff are very helpful and friendly the food was very good will return again. Rooms per night are reasonably priced and in good location for high street 👌

One of the better Weatherspoons. Lovely old timber framed building with lots of history. Nice and central to Tewkesbury town centre.

Beer selection was great. Shame it's the only pub in Tewkesbury you can't take a well behaved dog into 🙄😒

Staff are very efficient. Nice place to relax

Yes very pleasant place food good

Lovely place for breakfast food choice quality and choice very good staff friendly and professional would recommend visiting if in Tewkesbury

Recently visited here for a family funeral, staff were great, attentive, and the food was also good and the beer garden is awesome in the summer with being on the river bank.

Excellent location great value for money service was spot on staff was very helpful would recommend this hotel for anyone and large car park at rear

Very comfortable and spacious. Great value for money.

Historical building in a great location in the centre of town. Nice little bedroom with a good firm mattress. Staff were excellent and very friendly. Stuart went above and beyond to help me when I realised on Sunday evening that I had forgotten my cufflinks. He went back to his house to collect some of his and let me borrow them. What a hero.

Great place for a beer on a sunny day in Tewkesbury. The beer garden is fab. Service at the bar was great too. Definitely worth a visit.

I can not comment on the rooms as I only went in for lunch. The food was very good, excellent service and reasonably priced. The staff were very nice.

It's a spoons what can you say. Lovely garden area.

Love this place plenty of staff Good service and very good beer garden

Great staff very friendly Great food.

Hotel could do with a freshen up as it's starting to look a bit worn.

Great pub in a great town. I love visiting this place it has a good vibe.

Nicest weatherspoons ive ever been in good food well cooked good service and selection of drinks nice outdoor garden with plenty of seating

I use this spoons quite often when staying over for work as it's super cheap. It's one of the oldest pubs in Tewkesbury dating back to the 15th Century so don't expect modern rooms. Great value though and it's atmospheric

One of the best Wetherspoon's in my opinion

Lovely meal, as always. Never had a bad experience here. Look forward to going again.

This was the worst pub I've visited in the UK. The beer was OK (not great). The food was disappointing. The service was really bad.

Great place to stay for all amenities in Tewkesbury. Staff are very welcoming. Rooms comfy and free parking if staying over.

Generous sized room and extra large comfortable bed. Hot shower. Free parking despite central location. Excellent food, drink and service. All of the staff were super friendly and helpful. Wi-Fi poor but overall incredibly good value for money.
