About Hope and Anchor

Set in a historic Given Terrace weatherboard, this cozy British boozer pairs cafe breakfasts with proper evening pints. Morning regulars stop in for espresso and steak and eggs flanked by well-seasoned, crunchy hash browns. By sundown, the kitchen turns out quarter burgers with jalapeño mayo while bartenders pull creamy Guinness on tap. Grab an upstairs booth in the old bakery or settle near the open courtyard fire.

  • Cafe Breakfasts: Morning plates feature house coffee and steak and eggs accompanied by crisp, well-seasoned hash browns.
  • Proper Pints & Counter Meals: Pours of creamy Guinness and house lager served alongside burgers and hearty pub dishes.
  • Historic Weatherboard Character: Split across cozy upstairs rooms, an attic, and a courtyard warmed by a log fire in winter.

  • Historic Nooks and Fireside Charm

    The venue features intimate settings across its historic weatherboard layout, from cozy upstairs booths in the old bakery to an open log fire during colder months.

    Cosy atmosphere with that old English pub feel, complete with three flying ducks and stuffed (pheasant) cock on the wall.

  • Crafted Breakfast and Specialty Coffee

    Transitioning smoothly from daytime cafe to evening pub, the kitchen serves standout morning fare featuring celebrated house hash browns alongside specialty coffee.

    The steak and eggs were spot on: tasty meat and hash browns that were crunchy, well-seasoned, and honestly heaven.

  • Intimate Gathering Spaces for Groups

    Multiple partitioned rooms, sidewalk street-side benches, and upstairs attic seating offer comfortable hubs for book clubs, celebratory gatherings, and casual meetups.

    Visited on a weeknight for our bookclub, nice vibe going with plenty of people. Efficient service, choice of cold beers, plus the usual suspects for meals.

  • Vibrant Local Neighborhood Community

    A welcoming neighborhood culture makes new guests and regulars alike feel instantly at home, fostering effortless conversation across the bar and beer garden.

    Drinks were really nice for the prices, and I managed to make some friends upon sitting down in the "beer garden".

Signature comfort dishes and classic pours that define the Hope and Anchor experience

  • Hash Browns

    I did not know that a hash brown could be executed so perfectly. I could have had a plate of those hash browns and been in a state of nirvana for the remainder of the day.

  • Cheeseburger

    could not point to or describe a better burger in the entire universe! $24 for the best cheeseburger i’ve ever had the honour of eating and chips served with jalapeño mayo (which was delicious).
