The Hoops Inn - East Hertfordshire

We stumbled upon this pub by chance as we didn't want to navigate through the narrow country lanes to the pubs indicated on the GPS. We were pleasantly surprised by the friendly service and delicious food. We ordered the mussels, paella, and a veggie cheese tart. My paella was filled with large prawns, octopus, clams, mussels, and cockles. The meals were outstandingly tasty and satisfying. The pub is dog-friendly, and the staff even gave our dog a carrot when we asked for one, which was a nice touch. We would definitely return if we happen to be passing by, and I highly recommend this place. Thank you for a wonderful evening meal.

Thank you Kevin and team for a great lunch on Sunday 10th July to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Considering we were a large group at lunchtime on a blazing hot day, we had fantastic and friendly, speedy service without a hiccup. Lovely staff, nice food, gorgeous setting. See you again in a couple of weeks. Highly recommended. Lovely places to sit and eat outside on a sunny day. Thank you

Quality food and a sexy landlord cracking staff. Food was fantastic I really recommend the amazing

I visited this pub on 6/11/22 and it was a fantastic discovery. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. I had the Sausage and mash dish along with some great drinks. We will definitely be returning. The owner even gave us a complimentary mug and took the time to chat with us. Kelly N. USA.

We received excellent hospitality and food at a charming country pub. After a friend recommended it, we decided to give it a try and were not disappointed. Every aspect of the Sunday Lunch service was outstanding: the staff were knowledgeable and the Landlord was welcoming, and the food was exceptional. We had booked for 2pm and our Beef Roasts were served piping hot within 10 minutes. The desserts were also delicious: the homemade Sticky Toffee pudding and Belgian Waffle were a perfect end to the meal. We highly recommend a visit to this pub, especially if you're a cyclist as it's an easy 8km ride from Bishop's Stortford with mostly flat terrain.
