Hop Kettle outside

About

Already a supplier to many local bars and restaurants across the Southwest and London, Hop Kettle Brewing Co have now brought their fabulous offer to Gloucester and the Food Dock.


 Hop Kettle is a tap room and bar with a difference. Their popular cask, keg and bottle products are complimented by food residencies from both budding and well-established local chefs ensuring you’ll never be bored of the dynamic food offer.

Hop Kettle sits across  three floors, and a  ramped entrance is available from Commercial Road. 

Chef residencies are located off The Deck and events are held on the top floor where additional seating is also available. All food and drink can be ordered from the bar.  All beers are brewed in their own brewery in Cricklade, Swindon.
