☀️ A Little Thank You From Michelle & The Hoop Team ☀️

As we reach the end of another busy summer, we’d like to say a huge thank you to both our wonderful customers and our incredible team.

This summer has brought some of the hottest temperatures ever recorded, and despite the heat, our team have continued to work tirelessly to provide the friendly service, great food and welcoming atmosphere that The Hoop is known for. We couldn’t be prouder of them.

To all of our customers, thank you for choosing to spend your lunches, evenings, celebrations and family gatherings with us. Your support means the world to our small independent business.

The Hoop will now be taking a short summer break for some well-earned rest, maintenance and preparation for a busy autumn and festive season ahead.

We will be closed from Monday 31st August and will reopen for dinner service on Wednesday 9th September, with full normal service resuming on Thursday 10th September.

While we’re closed, our online booking system will remain open, so you can continue to make reservations for our return and for the festive season ahead.

Thank you again for your continued support. We look forward to welcoming you back in September.
