Good beer selection and really happy friendly atmosphere. I'm not a massive fan of the layout if I'm honest, I think it lacks character, but I can forgive that when they have great beers on tap and chatty locals. Definitely recommend a visit if you like beer (and cheese I suppose, but I hate cheese). Having been a regular frequenter of this establishment over the past year and I have to say I love it. Its the best pub in Hartlepoolfor my money. Awesome beers, I have even been tempted to try some cheese (which was previously unheard of) and to be fair the layout works a treat as the venue had lots of different events in each month. Get yourself in and support Darrel and Hop and Cheese, it a fabulous local institution.
Lovely evening. The owner is very knowledgeable on cheese and drinks and recommended some really nice ones to try.
Great Craft beer place! Owner very friendly and knowledgeable. Always a good beer that I like. Just wish people would use more so it would be busier. Always worry for these great small businesses for longevity
First off, I came here on the last day of the Tall Ships festival which is a Sunday so I was really annoyed that the full food menu was not available. I understand that my annoyance was NOT the fault of the bar but because I was 'hangry' and when the words "I'm sorry but we only have steak pie and cheese left" I cheered up immensely! A nice pie, great cheese, and a picked egg really made my day and was honestly the best food i have had since i arrived 5 days ago! A cider that was very good... but also good enough for me to know that a second would have jeopardised my train home! It also may seem a small thing, but a pub that leaves toiletries etc available for customers is a rarity and should be applauded. Lots of bar games available amd comfortable seats. By far my favourite place for a long while... and I have been around a bar or 2! Great work folks!
This was our first visit and it was lovely. A small place but comfortable surroundings. The cheese and meat platter included cheese that we wouldn't normally buy and was great. Nice choice of beers. We will be back.
