The Hop Pole Inn - Wyre Forest

The customer service was poor, the tables were empty, and we were unable to get a meal. I do not recommend anyone going there - you may want to avoid it.

We had a fantastic Sunday lunch at this restaurant. Both my husband and I ordered the sirloin of beef with a large Yorkshire pudding, and we also had cauliflower cheese on the side. My husband enjoyed the homemade apple crumble and custard for dessert, which was also delicious.

2 course lunch menu was perfect for a light lunch in the middle of the week. We ate mushroom bruschetta, followed by fish chips. All the food was tasty, service was friendly we were advised up front that it would not be a fast service. Food is cooked to order, we appreciated being notified of this. We would have given higher rating but where we sat the restaurant was quite noisy due to the acoustics. We will be back soon next time will try a dessert.

AVOID Poor for allergies and service !!! Came in over a week ago , I am celiac. They clearly have no idea of allergies nor do they care. Menu labelled as GFO however food is all cooked in same fryer which they seem to think is fine . I was served bread and told it was 100% GF after a while then told they had made a mistake. They brought a slice of microwaved bread out , no new dips !!!!! The chicken I ordered was dry , my son refused to eat his sausages as”they were nasty” . My parents didn’t eat the meals they were meh!! Overpriced poor food and service. The only other 2 diners complained about their food. The service was non existent the waitress kept disappearing we had to go find her to order over and over . Nearly 20 mins for a drink order!! Gave them a chance to respond apparently CALLUM was looking into the mistakes , who couldn’t be bothered to respond back !!! AVOID if you suffer any type of intolerance or allergies for your own safety .

Went here with the family the other day as our daughter wanted to treat us to lunch. The little one had a Curry, which she said was rather spicy and it didn't say this on the menu. I had Sausage and Mash although the sausage had no spice or anything to it and tasted of nothing at all. Mum had a Mushroom Brushetta and some soup of the day which she said was lovely. We had some drinks and the bill came to just over £50. The service was fine, although the chap behind the bar appeared like he hadn't been doing this for very long. No criticism as we all have to start from somewhere. Anyway, the food was lovely and would definitely go there again , just not to have the sausage and mash, although the mash was lovely.
