First started as a small shop in 1988 it now is 20 times its original size. We are proud of the nicknames we have been given, ‘Aladdin’s Cave’ & ‘Little Harrods’. We stock a wide range of items, from handmade crafts to gifts of all sizes and value.
Homemade Cakes at the Hop Pocket
The restaurant at the Hop Pocket allows you to enjoy morning coffee, a light farmhouse cooked lunch and of course our scrumptious homemade cakes. Our food is freshly prepared and cooked on the premises. Lunches are served everyday that we are open between 12pm and 2pm. Either side of lunch we serve coffee, tea and homemade cakes.

Farmhouse Cooks

We are fiercely proud of our farming heritage and links with the local community at the Hop Pocket. This is perhaps most obvious in the kitchen where genuine farm housewives cook up the food that we serve. The range of dishes is extensive, with the emphasis being on wholesome food at a reasonable price.

Homemade Food

Homemade at the Hop Pocket means made by our cooks in our kitchen. Everything from the soup, to the lasagne, to the quiche is made by Sue and Kate.
Audrey is the secret ingredient in our scrumptious cakes, she usually bakes them twice a week.

Fresh is Best

We use the freshest, most local ingredients we can. All our meat comes from our own butcher Pete, his shop ‘The Cutting Block’ is just around the corner. We buy as much of our fruit & veg as we can from Worcester Produce (who source from their own farms in the Vale of Evesham) and we get milk from the local milkman.
Along with our food, Jane and Sue M keep our service 'fresh'.
We serve a traditional roast lunch every Sunday. For bookings please call 01531 640323
