| This place could be so much better. First off, the comment below about the vegetarian options is still correct - a very limited choice. But could be worse - my partner and my daughter had the added please of a free hair in the meal. When this was mentioned to the waiting staff the disappeared, and then came back and said "sorry about that" and cleared the plates. We weren't expecting a freevie or anything like that but a proper apology would have been nice. Not good enough. When we arrived, I asked for a high chair - the response, from the manageress, was "they're down the corridor at the end". There are much better places to eat and drink around here - try the Bell and Parkham, the Farmers Arms at Woolsery, the Bush at Morwenstow or anywhere else you can think of. Beer's very average too. nmckenn - 12 Jun 2011 00:28 |
| When you drive by it's natural to say 'ooh!' A wonderful atmospheric pub, by the bar. The food prices are expensive to what you actually get on the plate. The vegetarians are virtually ignored here. Shame as many people are these days. The place is frequented by the landed gentry, posh voices welcome. out4tea - 4 Jan 2009 21:53 |
| Lovely oldy type pub. Restuarant lovely at this tiem of year with open fire. Food was of good value and quality. Prices were ok a meal for 3 with drinks £93. Good selection of real ales. Worth a visit. DOBBINHWCC - 18 Dec 2007 10:22 |
| A pretty thatched country pub, very good food and beers served by friendly staff. I don't agree with previous comments, we found the staff pleasant and helpful and the prices were pretty average really, some dishes may have been around the £15 mark but I had a fine bangers & mash for £6. The back bar is the place to sit if you can, it still retains the feel of an old village pub. Worth a try. oxenhillshaw - 22 Aug 2007 09:54 |
| Is this an Inn, or do they just keep the moniker for 'market' value? The Hoops is an overpriced, snobby, deserate restaraunt wanabee. The staff are obnoxious and snooty, tables crammed togther to get as many 'diners' in as possible, with little space to sit or stand at the bar. Every time been there, no one-especially that rare breed, A Local-has been drinking. Are they aloud to? Instead full of po faced cliental 'enjoying' their £15 a head mains, and po faced staff (girls especially) milling about looking very irrate when spoken to. Don't go here to drink or get a decent value meal. (Just because a steak costs over a tenner doesnt mean its 'cuisine') Don't go here to chat, especially in anything more than a whisper. Don't expect conversation with the staff either. But at least there are some good beers on gravity. You'd have to expect that with a pub though, I guess. bagwell - 13 Aug 2007 14:15 |
