The Hope and Anchor English Pub is a popular weekly destination, known for its hearty food that goes beyond typical bar fare. The Fish and Chips and Pulled Pork Poutine are favorites, with large portions that are worth the moderate prices. The atmosphere is charming and Old English, usually calm and quiet, making it a cozy spot for both regulars and newcomers. The pub hosts comedy nights with a $10 cover charge added to the bill and offers a fun ambiance with seating near life-sized cutouts of famous British figures. Recent reviews mention the fantastic service, with friendly staff who meet needs without interrupting entertainment. Visitors praise the pub’s authentic Curry and Bangers and Mash, although some have found the sausages disappointingly small. The beer is good, and the specials for the night often have a nice fall theme. Guests appreciate the cozy setting, including a chess set next to a large fireplace. Overall, the pub remains a welcoming place with good food, a lively yet relaxed environment, and plenty of British charm.
