About Hoop & Grapes
There's not a right angle in sight at this timber-framed pub, which escaped the Great Fire of 1666.
Listed Building dating from the 11th century there has been an Inn on the site since the thirteenth century.The current pub was converted from a wine merchant in 1920. It missed the Great Fire of London by a few yards and is one of only a handful of timbered buildings still left in London. Traditional pub food. The low ceilings and soft lights added to the atmosphere in this Grade II listed pub. Sparklers on all beers.

The Pies are a must. In particular, the Steak and Ale was superb. We started with Landlord’s platter, the duck croquettes were well above standard, the peppers and chorizo along with the peppers were plenty for two. The drinks are well prepared and the options are really good (quality of selections are decent). For a first meal in London and to get a taste of the city and London, this is a win.

This is a great pub if you want a good vibe. The staff is really nice and the place is lively. Gave it a low rating because I wasn’t a massive fan of the food. I got the chicken and chorizo: chorizo was excellent, and the broccoli solid… but I found the chicken to be really dry and the potatoes were slightly raw.

We did not eat here. Just popped in for a drink and catch the end of the euro cup match. The bar tender was super friendly and helpful. Atmosphere is awesome. Such an old building with so much history! Not sure it would be somewhere I would sit down for a meal...but for a pint, any day!

Fantastic food, great atmosphere and superb staff. Excellent end to our evening. We were even able to watch the Spain Vs France game.

Amazing old pub, wonderful atmosphere, and centuries of history. There's even good light, due to some clever extension work.
