Hop Pole - (Near , South East)

Vikas Nariapara Amazing authentic Keralan food at a great price. I ordered the fish pollichathu with porotta and masala lassi, needless to say I will be coming back for it again. The service was also exceptional, with the server customising the dish to how I would like it. If you are in the area and want to try real Indian food, I highly recommend Secret Alley.

Stephi Cosy coffee shop with good quality coffee and nice sandwiches. My americano (£3.20) was flavorful and nutty, without being bitter. My Vegan BLT sandwich (£7.45) was also good, I just wished it had more “bacon”. Felt good sitting inside for a bit. Staff were very friendly and helpful!

kelly challice edwards Over priced for what you get. We had the roasts as a table of five people, two of us had the roast beef which was so tough you couldn’t even cut it and the Yorkshire pudding was awful too. Asked the waitress to take something off the bill as we were not able to eat it, the manager came over (short little bald man) and argued the toss over it and eventually stomped off, swearing under his breath and took a fiver off. Absolutely awful customer service from him and definitely suffered with little man syndrome. The rest of the staff were lovely. Unfortunately we will never be going back there. Wished we had of read the reviews before booking.

BR W. Got Good deals on uber eats. The chicken wings are great, tasty and crispy. Burger was small but good value. Chicken bites and jumbo tenders portions were quite small won’t get them again If no deals

Jon Nurse Stayed in this wonder hotel for 5 nights, what a treat , the restaurant is a great addition to the hotel, the bar offers some great cocktails , breakfast is was standout with a great selection, quality ingredients and good service, will be back

Tom Popped into this place last Friday (early march) and had no booking. It was bus but managed to get a seat at the bar. I had toast with pate to start and a vegetarian main. Think it was sweet potato with pecorino over the top. Something like that. Both dishes were delicious and left me wanting more so I ordered tiramisu for dessert. Equally yummy. The foods clearly great here but what I liked most was the atmosphere and the vibe. It’s dimly lit and still vibrant. Noisy but in a good way. Staff are vigilant and quick. Wine was also good! I loved my meal here and I’m 100% going to go back. Probably more than once.
