Friendly locals pub on the High Street. 3 ales on including a pretty good HPA. Worth calling in.

The Old Hop Pole is a traditional atmospheric boozer with a front bar area where banquettes run across the front windows and up the right. Tables and chairs were on the oche of the dartboard found on the left-hand wall, it’s position suggests it’s only available when the pub is quiet or when a scheduled match is being played. In the rear are small seating areas to the left and right that are separated by a central walkway that goes to the toilets at the rear. The bar counter swings around to serve this rear area. Televisions are found throughout, 80s classics was supplying some background music for myself and the only other customer during my recent Monday night visit. TNT Sport is advertised for when the football is on.
I counted three hand pumps on each bar counter, St Austell’s Proper Job, Wye Valley’s HPA and Marston’s 41 Deep were available. There’s also standard and premium keg alongside a long gin list. I found the service to be friendly and the pub comfortable so I’d have no problem returning.

Doesn't look much from the outside but its a real gem. And not just because of all the WBA memorabilia.

Inside its a main bar with a couple of side rooms. Main room has a wonderful coal burning hearth.

Wye Valley HPA was in absolute perfect condition.

Just wish they'd turn the Chase off on the huge TVs.

Recommended.
