Hop & Pickle is bringing pub gastronomy to Little Stanley Street, under the mantra ‘great food, great drinks, great service’. Owners Peter Carter and Neal Orpin aspire to introduce patrons to ‘hop culture’, creating a playful, fun and relaxed environment. The open-walled space lends itself to long afternoons perfect for just hanging out over a pint of beer or a good old-fashioned pub-style meal. Hop & Pickle’s menu holds true to its pub gastronomy promise, with the bar menu offering up a broad range of finger-licking snacks, including deep-fried spicy pickles with house sauce, Asian-glazed pork belly with cucumber relish, chicken liver parfait or braised octopus with romesco sauce. From Monday to Friday you can select from the daily changing mains on the chalkboard, which could be anything that you would expect from a good pub. Saturdays also change each week, paying homage to pub classics from around the world – think Atlantic cod with crinkle-cut fries and homemade coleslaw – and Sundays see a different roast with all the trimmings served up each week.
