  “A pub working hard to get it right. The landlady has lots of good ideas to make it work for different communities. A good menu, very regular entertainment. Situated by the river soar with visitor moorings. Varied clientele depending when you go. Good pricing, good staff. Only been going a year so still work in progress in some aspects, but she deserves success, she's putting massive energy into it. Dog friendly.”

  “Food absolutely amazing, no complaints to the chef. The chef came out as my son has allergies and put my mind at ease by answering all my questions. Staff are friendly and very welcoming. The landlady is very polite and was good to hear and see what she has done to the pub. Highly recommend will be going back!”

  “Fantastic reception today from very friendly and attentive staff. So pleased to see this establishment open again as this used to be our meeting point when visiting Thurmaston. The food is very good and reasonably priced. The staff are very laid back, yet attentive and oh so friendly and approachable. The atmosphere is laid back and the background music at an acceptable level. Just a couple of minor points, the menu was difficult to read. The ceaser salad with crispy chicken was delicious, but the lettuce was a bit limp and the parmesan cheese was missing, but rectified immediately. After a bad experience in a dog friendly pub/restaurant in a different location, we were a little cautious. However, the dogs present were well behaved and had no nasty aromas, but something to watch for. Keep up the great work guys, you really have hit the right balance and will definitely recommend the Hope and Anchor to anyone.”

  “Lovely pub next to a canal. The young bar lady we met was so helpful and nice and a real asset to the pub. It is also very dog friendly. We are staying overnight free as long as you eat or drink in the pub. With a big car park there is plenty of space. The home made food is very good and lots of it. Just met with the landlady and can see why it's such a great place she also was lovely. Great atmosphere and we will be back again thank you. Back for a second time just as good as before with a karaoke night on Wednesday as a bonus 👍👍👍👍”

  “A nice little pub, A great welcome break from travelling the Grand Union Canal. Would have been nice to be able to have a “Sunday roast”, But the Bacon Burger was an okay replacement. One great thing is accessibility by boat as mooring is directly outside the pub.”

  “Fantastic lamb Sunday dinner. By far the best I've had. Hoping to book again with family. Possibly easier to book via phone as Facebook messenger replies are slow or non existent. Service was outstanding. The young man who took our order from our table was extremely polite and attentive. I would recommend.”

  “Brilliant evening at the NEW hope and anchor Doggy friendly offering a great doggy menu too. The pub is clean, redecorated and looks great. Food was great, burger homemade and the best medium rare steak ever! Chef was really welcoming and made sure we were ok and happy. Only one thing would prefer proper plates not the slate. As bit tricky with peas ended up all over the table and pepper corn sauce couldn’t tip it on as would have run everywhere. Other than that it was perfect can’t wait to visit again.”
