Called in to see how it is going.
Pub a little quiet, but beer was coming out well.
Barman was showing an interest in the beer and quiet friendly.
Selection good.....to many to list, but prices have been increased.
Vale best was £2.75......very good.
New micro brewery and shop out the back........a very nice addition.
Interesting selection of bottled beers.
Maybe time to put back on the radar......

Very fine pub including new brewery and recently opened beer shop. 10 ales 8 on when i last visited tried 4 all good. Seems very strange that its not in the good beer guide but one of the other customers said there had been an issue with the cellar and warm beer for a while which has now been sorted. Seems a bit odd that the local camra boys didnt liase with Vale brewery about it or maybe they did.
But as our conversation continued and others joined in we went through the other pubs in the aylesbury wycombe area and since ive been in the area I have been to them all in the last 18 months the general agreement was that the best 4 are The hop pole eight bells long crendon The whip Inn lacey green & The royal standard woburn green (no particular order) We also covered several other pubs from the area which led me to ask if anyone knew why the current pub of the year was the Wheel in naphill which is a good pub but not really a pub of the year. I was amazed to find that if a pub in this area wins it is barred from winning for 5 years so all the best pubs are currently out of contention. How wierd is that Ive been a camra member for years and lived in several areas and often the best pubs win year after year as they should.
Anyway I only started out to comment on the Hop Pole so I shall finish by saying its an excellent pub and top notch in the area.

As detailed below the pub is under new management or to be more accurate under old management as the Landlord before Edgar has returned. Beer is now back to a very high standard. Because of the hiatus with the management the pub failed to get into the Good Beer Guide, this is of course rather unfortunate as the pub is better than before with the addition of a superb beer shop stocking wines and beers from around the world with a good emphasis on Belgium. To top it off, the 'Aylesbury Brewhouse', a new brewery is located on site and was opened yesterday (2/12/2011) by Roger Protz the editor of the afore-mentioned Good Beer Guide.

There have been improvements but still got a lot of ground to make up to it's diminishing locals. Majority of beers ok but the buzz that used to exist here is still missing (in my opinion)

Occasional visitors not locals. Beer selection is always good , staff generally friendly . Like below didn't have a problem with Edgar, but the beers better since the new management have taken over . Friendly atmosphere worth going out of your way to visit.
