Hop Pole Inn

The Hop Pole is a beautiful, high‑quality pub located part way up the hill out of Bewdley, within walking distance of the town centre and surrounded by housing. It also benefits from nearby camping and caravan sites, bringing valuable seasonal trade.

This well‑zoned, single‑room pub features a central bar, a generous drinking area, and a clearly defined dining space. It enjoys a strong balance of wet and food sales, with a reputation for consistently high‑quality food that customers truly value. Bewdley is an affluent area and a popular destination for day‑trippers and overnight visitors staying in local hotels, campsites and caravans, providing a steady and varied customer base. Currently achieving £7,000 per week with a 50/50 wet‑to‑food split, there is clear scope to grow further—particularly food. With attractive interior décor, a garden, and terrace areas to the front and sides, The Hop Pole performs especially well during the summer months and offers an excellent opportunity for a Partner focused on quality, hospitality and growth. 3 bedroom flat with a good size lounge, kitchen and bathroom We understand that taking on your own pub business is an important decision. We are proud to operate under the provisions of the Pubs Code regulations (2016), by providing certain important information during the recruitment process which will enable you to make an informed decision about the pub business and the agreement which you are applying for. The recruitment process is structured to include meetings with our recruitment and operations team (virtually or in person). The process usually takes 3-6 weeks from application to offer, but varies depending on meeting dates, availability and information required for the completion of the business plan. For any of our partnership agreements you must have a personal licence to legally operate one of our pubs. We can help in the process of obtaining a personal licence through our partners at John Gaunt. A member of our recruitment team will be able to discuss this option with you as part of your application or enquiry. If you receive an offer from us, we will require payment of the full deposit at your earliest convenience. However, from time to time at the Regional Operations Managers discretion a part deposit payment may be made with an agreed deposit builder in place for the remaining amount. The deposit, or deposit builder, would need to be paid before the commencement of the agreement. Takings are banked in a Marston’s account in accordance with the agreements, to allow us to deduct our Management Charge. Your share (‘Retained Sum’) will be settled on a weekly basis. Any guaranteed annual Retained Sum is released on a weekly basis to you at the same time as your turnover % share Retained Sum. In any partner agreement pub with a Marston’s menu on offer there is no opportunity to put on your own version of food or specials due to allergies and food regulations. We do have a number of pubs that do not have a Marston’s menu in, and you are free to put on your own food menu.
