Having begun the Devizes Road real ale boom, the Hop Inn moved two doors down from its original location to larger premises. This free-house has eight hand pumps, serving seven ever changing guest ales, including at least one dark beer, and the house ‘Hop’ brewed by Ramsbury. Six box ciders are available. The interior is decorated in an eclectic style, including tables and chairs made from reclaimed wood. Local art works are often featured. Interesting, good value, food available from the 'Hop Nosh' kitchen. Comedy night and quiz night once a month.
