"On entering, we immediately felt unsure about our booking, with a lot of screaming children running around, and a cramped bar area with lots of families. Whilst we completely understand a pub may be busy on a Sunday lunchtime, it felt more like we had entered a play area. Staff were lovely, friendly, and efficient, but did make a poor judgement in where they placed us. Four adults, will clearly not want to sit surrounded by screaming and out of control children. It would not have been difficult to seat us separate to the families, or try to keep an area at the furthest point where children were not seated. My partner spent a lot of his meal being poked, and messed with by the out of control child behind, combined with children hurtling around from the other room. One family came in right next to us and dumped a box of lego on the floor. At no point did any staff member come in to ask whether the chaos around us was ok, or if we might like to move table. portions were huge, and seemed more based on quantity than quality. We visited when under previous management, and really enjoyed our meal. We were entertaining two people via the business, and we were embarrassed at bringing them. It is such a shame compared to how this pub was previously run."

"the hop vine is one of my favorite places to eat in the opposite and has not dined here for a past. we had the steak ale pie, hunters chicken and for the desert apple pie cheesecake. Why, if one of my favorite places to dine, I give 4 stars....simple... the hope vine has set high standards with our earlier visits and this visit was very good, but not as good as before (now we have shared here haare) as it was very good. I think it was because we enjoyed our desert more than the main course. the personal here is very good and I mean very good and friendly some of the best in the opposite. a wonderful selection of real ales. I wish I could set the star rating to 4.5, but can only set 4 and not fair to set 5 if I know and have experienced the hop vine in his best before. if I were to come back, I would definitely recommend everyone. one of the best pub restaurants in the environment."

"7 of us arrived at 5.30pm on Tuesday, we ordered our food (it wasn't busy at all) and most of it came pretty quickly apart from 1 meal which I suspect had been forgotten about. 3 of us had the salt and pepper chicken which was priced at £16.50 rather expensive I would say. Disappointing is an understatement the rice was so stuck together we had to slice it, the chicken was ok and the chips were also ok but for £16.50 my expectations were so much higher. We were on a time limit or we would have complained and definitely should have done. We will not be returning anytime soon. Very expensive and not great food. What a let down as it used to be one of my favourite places to eat. Parking: Plenty of parking"

"We decided to stop by this restaurant without making a reservation first, and the hostess kindly found a table for the four of us. We were surprised to see that the restaurant had changed ownership since our last visit before lockdown. We ordered the tapas grazing menu and were blown away by the incredible food. The small plates were bursting with flavor and creativity. Each bite offered a tantalizing mix of tastes that complemented each other perfectly. We each had a starter and three tapas dishes, and also sampled each other's dishes - everything was mouthwatering. The salmon risotto was excellent, the pork belly was crispy and paired perfectly with the apple sauce and chipotle slaw, and the flank steak was cooked to perfection. For dessert, we had the orange amandine which was a delicious ending to our meal. The hostess was delightful, knowledgeable, and had a lovely accent. The entire staff was friendly, competent, and attentive. We sat outside, enjoying the warm night and watching the barges sail down the canal. We plan on organizing a family outing for my mom's birthday here next. Do not miss the chance to try this hidden gem of a restaurant."
