The Hoop & Grapes

In the 17th century, many of the buildings were made of wood. The Great Fire of 1666 destroyed most of these buildings, but the Hoop & Grapes made a lucky escape. Today it is the only 17th century timber-framed building which exists in the city. A good selection of real ales and food is served in the large bar and dining area. Pavement seating is also available.
