The Hop Pocket Shopping Village is unique. It is a collection of independent shops offering an alternative to both the high street and characterless out of town shopping. We are spread over a number of old agricultural buildings, one of which is some large hop kilns on two levels connected by three staircases and a lift. We are mainly under one roof and our car park is large, free and no distance at all. We have something for everyone!
We are a family run business so children are at the heart of what we do.
We do our best to keep the little ones happy, we have two climbing frames, one for little ones, another that is bigger both in a large, fenced grass area for running around in.
In the restaurant we cook proper meals, with child and toddler portions, half jacket potatoes and half sandwiches. All child meals come with a free piece of fruit.
We aim to keep everyone happy with fresh coffee and seating by the play area, and there is free tasting everyday in the Wine Co.
Everything is prepared fresh, from scratch in our kitchen by our wonderful cooks Sue & Kate. Our meat comes from our on site butcher at The Cutting Block and our bread comes from from our on site baker.
Our dishes range from freshly cut sandwiches, quiche, soup to full lunches like cottage pie and lasagne. Our scrumptious cakes are baked here by Grace and Jane.
We do a proper Sunday Roast with fresh vegetables and traditional home made gravy served separately.
We are a family restaurant, so we are happy to serve child and toddler portions for smaller appetites.
The Hop Pocket Gift Shop is an Aladdin's Cave of gifts & crafts, something for everyone’s pocket. The Cutting Block Farm Shop is a well stocked deli and traditional butchers. The Wine Co offers local ciders, beers and wines including free tasting everyday. The Plant Centre is small, but with an astonishing range of plants, many locally grown.
There is a further host of unique & independent shops including ladies fashions, Hotter shoes, children’s clothes, wooden toys & gifts, stunning furniture, antiques, musical instruments, contemporary art and much more.
The connection with the past comes from the ‘Year of the Hop’ exhibition, detailing the growing and harvesting of hops and how they shaped the local area.
