The best pub restaurant in Essex.The Hoop is by far the best pub / restaurant in Essex in our opinion. We have been numerous times and it never fails to disappoint. Michelle and all of her staff are fantastic. We have eaten great food here but todays was an absolute stand out. We had the prawns from
Really enjoyed my meal here last night, everything was delicious! I’m not usually a pie lover but thought the pie was absolutely amazing. Mark was our waiter was so lovely too!
I had not visited the hoop for a long time and I was pleasantly surprised. The parking hasn’t changed it’s either on the road or at the hall car park which is free and a sub 5 minute walk. The food was absolutely delicious, actually nicer than a Michelin 2 star I recently visited in London. Downst
Gorgeous, atmospheric old pub with an excellent chef! My partner and I had lunch here on a sunny Saturday with my parents to celebrate a birthday. First time we’d been, but I’d heard great things. We were super impressed. Waiting staff who couldn’t do enough to help ( and plenty of them so you never
Delicious food, lovely staff and fantastic place. Just can't recommend it enough! Just look at this food!
Excellent pub and great food.I had the pie and mash which was excellent. The only problem is the parking as you need to park in the road as near to the pub as you can get. That said the staff were really polite and helpful and the food arrived soon after ordering.
Excellent food and service, our favourite place to eat. Highly recommended
We moved to the area 6 months ago and have been to the hoop four times already! Without fail the food, service and atmosphere is wonderful and a 5* experience every time. Would recommend to anyone!
We went here for my birthday lunch, had a great time and the meal was amazing. We all enjoyed our choices. We've already booked for our next visit.
The only thing this place has against it is the lack of parking. If you're unlucky enough not to get a space directly outside the pub you're in for a short walk from the nearest place you can find. This isn't an issue for most but we were with elderly people and wasn't ideal.
Once at the venue you'l
We turned up today without a booking but Michelle found us a table luckily. Thank you 🙏
The food was superb as usual. Ham Egg and Chips and Katsu curry for us. The sausage roll for starter was amazzzzing. Like pulled pork. Mmmmmmmm 👌
The Hoop is by far the best pub near Billericay.
The food quality is decent, yet some dishes had small portions.
Service efficient with pleasant friendly staff. Prices for both dishes and drinks pricey.
Disappointing as 3 out of 4 in our group chose The Hoop for one particular dish, that other reviewers had recommended. Sadly after a 35 mile drive
A truly delightful pub & restaurant in the heart of a small village with a great local feel . This is probably the best way to describe this place . Situated in the village of Stock in Ingatestone this local pub was a really great way to spend the afternoon. Although I new the area I didn't really k
Excellent food and service! Very good pub food indeed 👍 would go more frequently, however it’s very popular and gets booked quickly. Stand out dish for me is the nduja bread off the nibbles section. Also the cauliflower cheese is a superb!! Mmm 😋
Fantastic meal and atmosphere was amazing. Staff were lovely
Definitely go back
The food was excellent all round very tasty and prepared well,the food looked amazing and the customer service was excellent,I would recommend the Hoop as a good place to eat ,well done.
A faultless place to enjoy a Sunday roast and have a few drinks. I've been back time and again. The village of Stock is beautiful and a great place for a quick dog walk as well.
