A gastropub in Southwark that’s as innovative as it is timeless, the menu harkens back to traditional Sunday Roasts with a modern twist.

Already a favourite among the locals, The Anchor and Hope consistently draws in crowds from further afield with its delicious  take on Sunday lunch, served in a warm and welcoming environment along The Cut.

Abstract artwork by Aldous Eveleigh is hung up around the dining room, giving a regal touch to the low-lit, comfortable pub setting.

Start with garlic sausage, radishes, celeriac and mustard or a snail and bacon kebab with crushed peas and mint. Mains range from a foie gras ballotine with toasted brioche and cherries to octopus stew, a steamed Scottish fillet, ‘Spanish style’ pig’s cheeks and slow cooked lamb neck with a gratin dauphinoise.

Lined along The Cut on South Bank, it’s just a short walk away to both Waterloo Underground and Southwark Rail Station.

    The food was outstanding but even more the service. Very attentive waiters, checked in with us as our table arrived in stages, took time to explain all dishes and managed to get a little leftover cuttlefish Venetian style when there was not enough left for a full order. My mom used to make it when I was younger and yours went straight to my heart. Thank you. It was a lovely night, I look forward to coming back.

    Stepping into this pub feels like being welcomed into a home where every dish is crafted with love and passion. The homemade food here is simply outstanding, but it’s the lamb shank that truly steals the show. Cooked to perfection, for 7 hours, each tender bite bursts with rich, hearty flavours that linger on the palate, creating a symphony of taste. The combination of succulent meat and expertly balanced seasonings makes this dish a must-try. Beyond the incredible food, the staff’s attentiveness elevates the entire dining experience. They greet you with warm smiles, anticipate your needs, and ensure you feel like the most important guest in the room. Whether you’re here for a casual meal or a special occasion, this pub offers not only fantastic homemade food but also a level of service that makes every visit memorable. An absolute gem that I can't recommend enough!

    Had a lovely evening with friends. The menu is full of delightful new things and items to try and for your taste buds to enjoy. Wine served in small carafe as well as by the glass or bottle. I had a wonderful 3 cheese and hazelnut soufflé. We also had some tender stem broccoli, the ingredients having been adapted to accommodate an allergy. Thoroughly recommend.
