The Hope & Anchor

The Hope & Anchor is an independent free house with a laid-back, slightly offbeat feel, built around good beer, solid food and a space that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Inside keeps that classic pub energy, while out the back the tropical-style beer garden adds something a bit different, a proper little escape when the weather plays along.

There’s a strong focus on local beers, ales and cider, alongside pub food that covers the classics and a Sunday roast that gives you a solid reason to settle in for the afternoon. It’s the kind of place that shifts easily from relaxed daytime pints into a livelier evening, with dogs padding in alongside you and finding their spot as things unfold.
