Quick info
About The Hope Inn
The Hope Inn is a pub at 82 Stade St in Hythe with an attached Thai noodle bar, Noiy's Noodles, serving South East Asian street food. The kitchen cooks in view, so diners can watch their meal being prepared. Pad thai is on the Thai menu, while the pub side offers pub grub and sweet treats. The pub area pours local beers and has a fireplace, which gives drinkers a spot apart from the noodle bar. Dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return to the Thai noodle kitchen attached to the pub, praising authentic Thai dishes described as tasty and delicious, with good portions and the chance to watch the food being cooked, which led one party to order more than planned. Close behind, the pub side draws praise for friendly staff, well kept local beer at a reasonable price, a Tanqueray Seville gin by the fireplace, and a lovely garden. Several mention the place suits mixed groups and is dog friendly. The main complaint comes from a returning diner who found the pad thai tasteless and dry, needing soy, sriracha and seasoning added, with no chopped peanuts, and a server who could not pronounce kung kra pad, which arrived without the frilly egg. Another reviewer was disappointed that only one non alcoholic beer was offered, calling it the worst one. Regulars describe popping in for a quick drink and noodles, and one recalls finding the place by chance and loving it.

“Nice place near the seafront. Helpful staff, but the they only offered one type of non alcoholic beer, bring the worst one.”
- Paula Mercer
“Fourth time I've eaten here and was extremely disappointed this time. Pad Thai tasteless and dry, I had to douse it liberally with season all, soy and sriracha. Plus no chopped peanuts . The server couldn't even pronounce kung kra pad, no frilly egg. So sad.”
- Nige Terry
“Close to the sea, this charming pub felt cosy and welcoming. We both had a Tanquery Seville gin and sat by the fireplace - unlit as it is June. There is an attached noodle bar, we didn't eat but the next table did and they had good portions and appeared very pleased with their choices.”
- Joseph Calistan
“Lovely inn with a great pub area and nice local beers for a reasonable price. Nice staff and they offer sweet treats and pub grub. Worth a visit! Also has an attached Thai food kitchen which does nice authentic Thai dishes which were very tasty.”
