The Anchor & Hope

Whenever I visit London I head straight here to meet up with my best friend for lunch. Food is faultless with a good range of beer and wine on offer. Of course Covid has affected what is available, closing times etc Hopefully it will all get back to normal in 2021. Forgot to mention the great staff. Hope to see you soon!

Its a lovely pub serving delicious food. The slow cooked lamb neck sharing platter for two was fantastic. Menu favours the meat eaters, but there us always at least 2 fish courses and a vegetarian dish. Glad they are still going and doing their best to comply with ever changing restrictions. The staff are brilliant.

The anchor & hope is a fine purveyor of great food and drink. Brilliant gastro pub serving delicious grub. Ducks cheek, tomatoes on toast, chorizo and peppers, beans with anchovy dressing, homemade sourdough. Food that maxes out on flavour and charm. The the whole lamb shoulder (for two) with potato gratin. Meat flaked off the bone, potatoes melted in the mouth. It was rich and deep - finger licking good with fat and salt and butter and all the food stuff. Was so unbelievably full by the end I could barely move. Service was attentive without being overbearing. And the vibe is seriously sick - no worries about being in some flat, dead hotel lobby with waiters watching over your every move. This place buzzes with London energy and candour.

Came here for dinner under fairly severe Covid restrictions, and I was delighted by the top quality food and service despite the constraints to which they were working. We were restricted to a two hour slot which I would typically balk at, but given the every needs to be shut by 10pm, I don't begrudge their effort to squeeze two covers out of the time they had. The food was delicious, particularly the ducks hearts, and the massive lamb shoulder that we shared between three.

Heartwarming traditional pub food with a flair. Have been here 3 times now and each time the menu has changed so it really is seasonal! The service is great and prompt. The only reason it is a 4 and not 5 stars is that every time we visit, out of 3 dishes ordered (each time different) - one is great and two are alright. The octopus we ordered last time was quite chewy and not cooked very well. Which is a shame as I think they're very creative with the dishes! Would definitely go again though!
