My husband and I had a random date night and found ourselves at The Hope & Anchor for comedy night. The atmosphere was charming, Old English. There was a $10 cover charge that was conveniently added to our bill, the specials for the night had a nice fall theme, and a good size normal menu. We did not prefer the emcee, so I hope they switch her up, but the other 3 acts were entertaining. Our waitress was fantastic, she met our needs without interrupting the acts. Some menu...
I was unimpressed with the bangers and mash. The tiniest little sausages I’ve had. And I’ve had Bangers and Mash in the US and several places in the British isles. The flavor was right, but the sausages disappointingly small. Especially for the high cost.
The beer was good.
If I come back - I won’t order the bangers and mash.

Good English-style food in an English pub-style setting. Marsha, one of the owners, waited on us. She was absolutely terrific. The restaurant had a chess set on a table with comfortable chairs next to a large fireplace where my friend and I played a friendly game.
