About The Hop Inn
The Hop Inn is a walk-in pub on Devizes Road in Old Town, Swindon, where the kitchen turns out burgers with chips and a Sunday roast alongside a wide range of beers on tap. Outdoor seating catches the afternoon sun, and dogs are welcome inside, with staff offering water and treats. The room runs as a casual neighbourhood pub, and the beer selection draws in regulars who come for the range on tap. Orders are placed at the bar in a typical pub format, and the menu leans on straightforward comfort plates rather than anything more elaborate.

Customer Review Summary
The beer range draws the most praise, with reviewers citing an excellent selection on tap, reasonable prices and friendly bar staff. Food comes second, from generous portions and Sunday roasts to a burger with jalapeño pulled pork chips. One reviewer was frustrated that every line was cleaned at once, leaving beer unavailable after opening. One group's dog was offered water and treats.

“Just had a burger with chips and pulled pork covered chips with jalapeños 🤯, visiting a friend in old town and they came back with this surprise food for dinner, the whole thing is insane, there was so much flavor, i could have eaten it all over again just for the taste but i was so stuffed i barely had room fot a pudding 😜 i have eaten in the hop before mostly sunday roast which are top notch, ive never had bad food from there, always a pleasure to see kate, the atmosphere, the people and staff have always been perfect”
