Regularly treat myself to Friday evening meal and a pint in the Hope. Wide selection of mains and superb puddings at very reasonable prices. Always receive a warm welcome from Gary and the team.
Don't worry if Gary seems miserable - he's always like that. BUT the Sunday lunches are amazing value and quality!
