I've been to The Hoop several times in the last few years and can only say its improved under the ownership and management of Phil Utz and his wife.

Phil was the chef at The Bear, (we also used to visit there a lot too) and when he moved on from The Hoop there was a marked downturn in menu imagination and food quality. It will be interesting to return to The Bear now that it is under new management, (I certainly won't miss the paper napkins and sauce sachets).

Anyway, back to The Hoop. My wife and I have visited and eaten inside, downstairs - pub lunch arrangement, in the upstairs restaurant for a more formal dinner and several times in the garden.

The menu offers great choice, personally we feel that the prices are fair considering the quality and quantity of the food provided. Food temperature also remains consistent.

Service is prompt, friendly and not overly fussy.
Ambience of the environment is very much to our personal taste, (country pub feel).

I've read the comments about the toilets and am not sure what they relate to. We were at The Hoop for lunch last weekend and the toilets were fully functional and spotlessly clean.

Overall I can't speak highly enough of this establishment, look forward to many future visits and wish them much continued success.

After reading the last review I was slightly worried about our birthday meal booked for last weekend. I almost booked somewhere else. Thank goodness I didn't. We had a great time. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly and welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. There were even comments cards left on the tables for us to report any "issues" we may have had, although we didn't have any!
The parking can be a little scarce but we found a space up the road in the village hall car park.
A lovely time was had by all. Thank you, we will be back.
