The Hop Factory - COOKS HILL

Expectation is only ever going to land you in trouble.

Exceeded my expectations in every way. Great service, food and amazing drinks selection - not just craft beer, but much, much more.

We went for dinner on a Friday night (we made a reservation) the prices are reasonable and the meals were large with plenty of jus on my steak and sauce on the other meals and I was satisfied with the amount of veges on the plate. The wait staff were very attentive and we were invited down the back to taste the beers on tap as we were unsure on what to order. The person who invited us seemed to be the manager on the night and he was very knowledgeable about the beers we were tasting. Where we sat when we ate was a little cosy, we didn't bump into other diners but it did feel as if they were close to us. Overall though, a very pleasant experience.

Visited here for daughters birthday.. Was impressed with choice of beers and that you could have a taste of a brew of two first. Good night deal to book a table in peek periods. You can also order a taster of different beers

My fried and I went there for lunch on a Thursday recently. It seems like there are less staff there these days. We ordered burgers and beers special. It is a shame it doesn't have other types of food beside burgers on special at lunch. it took half an hour for the burgers even though it was fairly quiet. The beers are the real stars as they don't disappoint. It is a shame that we can't sit out the back and you used to be able to have a chat with the staff but maybe it is a new owner now as the atmosphere it very different.
