Not been here since before Covid. Lots more seating outside in different configurations. They're doing a proper basic pub menu for lunch - ham, egg and chips - perfect. Cider and beer still served at the correct temperature. Prices not bonkers either. Lovely afternoon.
Super big pub. Clearly a centre for its local community. Very nice range of beers. Food was excellent too. Several large rooms, and conservatory & yard our back. Handy for station. Strongly recommended.
Always a great place to chill out/meet with friends. Good quality and mixture of draft beverages as well as spirits/non-alcoholic and bottled/canned drinks. Can't knock the food either, both hot pot meals and deli snacks. Bathrooms are always clean and well stocked. The atmosphere may get a bit loud on a weekend evening, but generally a good conversation can be heard. Dog friendly and wheelchair accessible
Have been going to this pub on and off for years now and it never disappoints! The last time I was there I decided to have some food for a late lunch. I opted for the beef stew with multigrain bread and butter...it hit the spot perfectly and at £7 you can't go wrong! The meat was a plenty and very tender, the sauce itself was tasty and full of veggies too! I could of eaten another! ;) So, if you're not from the area and are looking for a high standard traditional pub then look no further than The Hope! Very attentive and friendly staff also! :)
