| Can Concur that this is a gastro pub more aimed at foodies than drinkers. Although there is a bar area to the front it’s not really set up for a large group on the crawl. However the Windmill Tavern just along the road is much more aligned to this sort if thing so we went along there. No rating left. Gann - 16 May 2009 12:32 |
| Firstly, a couple of caveats: I went there at lunchtime, specifically to eat. It was well-patronised, but not crowded, so I can't directly contradict some of the other opinions. Having said that, I found the reasonably-priced food spectacular and the ale (Bombardier) well-kept and a pleasure to drink. The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Perhaps it's not the same in the evenings, but I'd suggest that this is perhaps a pub to eat in, rather than drink in. stevew1 - 15 May 2009 20:46 |
| this is one of those pubs that makes you want to register to let others know about it, so that they too do not have to encounter awful bar service and the total plebs eating food at the bar. MORONS beer selection was alright rcartman - 19 Apr 2009 09:17 |
| Popped in for a quick half pint of "Jeckel & Hyde"; nice drink, pleasant bar man. However still don't get this place. Dark, crowded table layout, both empty and full. Not a pleasant place to aim for of a night. Best head onto the Windmill. BARONVONBEERBARREL - 31 Jan 2009 12:12 |
| The SMDC visited the Anchor and Hope on Wednesday 7th January 2009. It's a busy pub, but lacks any style and personality. Previous reviews criticise it for its poor table layout, and difficulty getting served at the bar - this was true for us, and makes the Anchor and Hope experience a rather poor one. The Bar itself was stuffed full of people, so once you managed to reach it, ordering a drink was a new challenge. Some people eating meals at the bar - not what one expects from a "Gastro" pub. While some of the beer may be reasonably priced (Bombardier @ £3/pint), a pint of soda water for one of the non-drinkers was an eye-watering £2 - this just isn't acceptable in this day and age, and ensures my non-return. The Anchor and Hope may be one of the "original gastropubs", but by today's standards, it seems to pull this off spectacularly badly. Plenty of other establishments will offer a better experience and friendlier atmosphere. We didn't bother to have food, the pub was too cluttered and the prices too expensive to contemplate for such average surroundings. I personally don't envisage a need to return, and would avoid this pub if I were in the area again. SMDC - 14 Jan 2009 11:50 |
