About Hope
Snug gathering place established in 1790 serves a menu of pub fare with a focus on savoury pies.
Late 19th century four storey building with many fittings from Victorian and inter-war times. Above a black polished granite base is a fine recessed pub frontage including a rare central bay bowed and curved window above etched panels. The lower ‘Wines’, ‘Ales’ and ‘Spirits’ frosted windows look to be from the 1920/30s.
Built as an inn during the days between the medieval and modern market in an area which was then parkland. It is alleged that the pub was erected over the Path of Hope leading to a sanctuary church, which condemned prisoners from Newgate Prison were led, if they received a last minute reprieve.

The pub was truly nice and spacious, loved the tables outside, such a nice place in hot day. The staff was kind, talkative, happy to help. I've loved the signs , pets are welcomed,even though, they had inside dog treats in jar. I found it as a wonderful gesture and a customer was upstairs with a puppy. That was a sweetheart , thank you for great atmosphere.

Exceptional british pies. I recommend the normal meat pie option (MOO) as it was a good amount for 1 and was accompanied by gravy and peas. Toilets were clean and offered free sanitary pads for women. Service was good.

The price of the beer was very affordable! Delicious taste, and nice atmosphere to hang out with wifi and restrooms included. Would recommend to come and enjoy a beer here to anyone.

Great pub in a good location. Recommend the pie and pint deal, which saves solid money. Friendly staff. Pies are solid (Moo and Blue is personal favourite). Vegetarian pie is available. Has seating and toilets upstairs.
