The Anchor & Hope — Restaurant in England

Nice pub tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.

By the sounds of other reviews it's been revamped recently, and they've done a good job. Salisbury is certainly not short of pubs/restaurants, but if you want somewhere a little quieter with decent food, this place is just the ticket.

Just a few minutes walk from the Cathedral, this place fitted the bill perfectly.

We were greeted warmly by the staff when we arrived (my brother and I) on a Sunday afternoon. FYI, this place is dog friendly which is a welcome bonus.

Ordering food was easy and arrived pretty quickly. The menu is a little limited (pizzas only), but maybe that was the time/day we were visiting. Regardless, the food was very good; apparently cooked in a wood fired oven (though don't quote me on that).

I had the standard cheese and tomato pizza, which looked great. Obviously freshly cooked and not out of a box.

The pub itself looks tidy and smart. There's seating inside (with a pool table) and plenty of seating outside for the occasional sunny day (which I'm glad to report it was for a change).

Would happily visit again.

Keep up...

Love this place been coming since I was younger , however my most recent trip had been embarrassed and angry. On my way in there were 2 quite threatening bouncers who had accused me of stumbling up the road (in which I hadn’t been. Hadn’t even had a drink yet!) and then said my eyes looked like dish bowls and that my pupils were dilated (in which obviously I hadn’t taken anything either.) after fiddling with my ID for a long time whilst chatting to their drunk pals, and while accusing me of all of the above In a threatening manner, they let me in. However I was upset and annoyed at the ordeal and put a bad taste in my mouth. Sad because I love this place however the younger bouncer had embarrassed me and wound me up. Once I was in however there was a fire show and great atmosphere, however had been put in a bad mood because...

"Great Pub" Under new management October 2017!

This is now my regular pub, five TV's covering horse racing & sky sports, every day. Two pool tables, cleaned daily. Jukebox, that's up to date. Two fruit machines. Dart board, with a automatic scorer.

Since taking over a little over three months ago the pub has had a deep clean, and the atmosphere has improved significantly (it wasn't bad before, but the difference is notable). There's more customers in general, and the "garden" at the back definitely benefits from the weather (I say garden though most, if not all, is paved - with tables and seating).

There is a small amount of parking at the front (four spaces), but on-street parking...
