The Hop Tub is a brewery and tap room on Hurstpierpoint High Street. We are a relaxed but forward thinking microbrewery and kitchen with our focus on providing exceptional flavour and customer service. We are all about being a welcoming, open and vibrant place that belongs to the heart of its community. Imagine hand crafted beer, with big interesting flavours, alongside well crafted classic lagers, small batch Hard Seltzers and amazing hand selected award winning wines that all match with a local foodie palate. Now imagine a street food inspired menu bursting with fresh locally sourced ingredients, exceptional quality meats from local farms, cooked in our smoker and an inspiring forward thinking vegan and vegetarian offering. Our Sundays are all about great quality, comforting roast dinners and delicious desserts and our arms wide open style of hospitality means everyone gets the same warm welcome and care. In case you havent guessed it already, we are all about providing people with a place they would want to call a home from home where we all hang out, eat, drink, laugh, chat and enjoy everything in between. You only need to check out our google reviews to see that we have a really strong reputation for delivering an exceptional experience, every single time.
