The Hop Pole Inn, Aylesbury

The Hop Pole Inn, has just come under new management as of this week. Fortunately, the task of running it has fallen on people who are passionate about real ale, know their stuff and who are determined to keep all 10 hand pumps on the go (as long as there is ale to pull through them!). Beer is obtained from microbreweries all over England (none of that big name stuff....). The new manager also has a background in the music industry so Saturday night entertainment can only get better as time goes on. As for food, the menu will be getting a substantial overhaul over the coming weeks and all being well, Sunday roasts will make a comeback. Thankfully, the new management has also brought along their iPod, so the Hop Pole has entered the 21st century making the leap from a 50 song to a 5,000 song selection! This pub is definitely on its way up and well worth several visits if you can't get through the beer selection on your first!!
