The Hop Pole - Newark-on-Trent

Lovely local pub that is really well presented. It's all keg beers, Sam Smith's, and no real ales. CASH ONLY

Not the best experience, all things considered. We got locked inside the hotel for 25 mins one morning, between two auto locking doors, for which our key card didn't work. We tried ringing the hotel to no avail. That aside, The rooms are quite small, but nice and cosy, everything works. The building is old and well kept. Breakfast finished at 9am so we never made it there, despite paying for it in advance.

Absolutely beautiful building and kept to an extremely high standard of cleanliness at all times. The managers and staff are the most polite and warming people I’ve ever came across in the industry. Every time we have visited Our meals have been amazing and the service was great. Definitely will be coming back to the Hop Pole with out a doubt.

Absolutely beautiful place. The bar area is very welcoming and can imagine even more so in the winter when a nice log fire is lit. We went on a Saturday evening and was welcomed at the bar from a friendly landlord and landlady. When our food was ready we was escort to what can only be discribed as an amazing dining Room I had the hunters chicken which was served very well and made a change to get chicken that wasn't dry it was absolutely beautiful. My wife had the steak and ale pie which she said yet again was absolutely lovely. Will we go again absolutely we are even considering staying the night next time in one of their beautiful rooms

The restaurant has a very traditional atmosphere, but the food was enjoyable. They have a strict no swearing, no mobile phones, and no credit cards policy.
