Hope & Anchor Inn in Pembrokeshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We had booked but they had lost our booking but they managed to find us a table. The food was as you would expect but a little pricey for pub food and as it was a celebration dinner we were very disappointed with the offering.

We ate in th restaurant while staying at the Hope and Anchor, and enjoyed it very much. Karen and Stewart are very welcoming hosts, and Karen is an excellent chef serving up a limited, but very tasty menu.

Owners/ tenants very rude and abusive following a legitimate complaint about the food that was served. Having been to many restaurants around the world I have never experienced such an attitude and foul language from a pub/restaurant management in all my life, who clearly are in the wrong business.

Terrible food, beef curry tasted of tomato sauce,the place was cold and empty. When we explained to the owners that it did not taste of curry at all and said we were not prepared to pay for it but would pay for the other meals, they became abusive and swore at us.

We stayed recently, very disappointed, bar and food advertised, there was neither.. The licence holder was away, hence no food or bar. We were not informed, the hotel has my email, but didn’t inform us. Breakfast was between 8 and 9 due to the chef having to go to her next job. Very unhappy with our stay.

Steak night, not good. No starters on offer, cheap ingredients, chips were ok. No ice fir drinks as machine hadn’t been turned on. All in all, definitely not one to recommend.

Called at the Hope and Anchor tonight 7/9/21 at 6-48 hoping to obtain a meal only to be told the kitchen was closed for the night( people were still eating) Surprised?to say the least

Great warm welcome and very helpful staff. Room was very clean and comfortable. Plenty of parking at the rear of the hotel. Will definitely be using again.

Theres not a huge selection of restaurants so it’s fortunate this was a good one. Nice friendly welcome and good service. Good selection of choices

Warm and welcoming place to have a chef prepared meal and a drink before boarding the ferry for Rosslare.

a nice place with plenty of seating and a good atomosphere the staff were friendly and quick with service food was above average but l felt the prices were a little high and the menu a little limited however still worth a visit

I have to say it that the time we spent here was amazing, we upgraded to have a room overlooking the bay and it was brilliant. The owner (steve) and the staff were so welcoming and it was a lovely homely atmosphere. We had a meal in the night in the restaurant below (The Fire Pit) and again all I have to say "Amazing" the food was cooked exactly as we asked it to be cooked and there was more than plenty of it. The breakfast was perfect all freshly cooked and really lovely.

We had been looking forward to eating here for a while and whilst the staff were friendly and attentive, the food unfortunately was not good at all. I had lamb on a stick which hung from the ceiling (fun and novel) and my husband had steak on a stick however the meat was very tough and it went cold really quickly. Chips were fine, garlic potatoes lacked any real flavour. I don't usually put reviews on here, certainly never a bad one but felt given how expensive our meal was I felt I should. Like I said staff were great such a shame the food didn't match their standards!

I went there thinking that it’s a place your guaranteed good food with bad service which is acceptable. But I ordered a burger which was dry and chips which was okay. So then I decided to have a cheesecake for pudding. My cheesecake came and I got my spoon and went to eat it then the spoon wouldn’t go through it. It was frozen with Ice on the bottom, I was very disappointed so I called the waitress and she said it is a ice cream cheesecake. So I double checked the menu and it said it said nothing of the such. They had swerved me a frozen cheesecake and I said to my family let’s pay and go and we will never return disappointing.

Great place for a few drinks. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The place is pet friendly which is brilliant the guys there made a fuss of our dog which she loved.

Great location, clean rooms, excellent food from the restaurant. Awesome cocktails, beers, drinks and view from the bar! Ask for the the Melbourne Man!!!

Managed to get a table on busy Bank holiday. Staff very friendly and place recently renovated to a Fire Pit.The menu was varied with mainly meat but some fish. We had smothered nachos to share as a starter with a bottle of Sauvignon blanc. For mains I chose belly pork ribs in five spices with triple fried chips and side salad which was astounding!! My friend plumped for a burger with cheese and peanut butter, sweet potato fries and salad. Both meals were truly fabulous; exactly as you would expect. From what we saw, the meat cooked on the fire pit looked great and appeared very popular with the many people eating it! Staff were attentive throughout but not intrusive. If I was back in the neighbourhood I would definitely visit again ; a great night out!!

8 of us had a superb night, with the most amazing atmosphere. Good service and brilliant food / drink. Recommend!

We booked a table in the fire pit restaurant, had to wait but was not full.

We had a really traditional meal of fish and chips (with mushy peas) for him, and toad in the hole for me - the sausages were top quality and the portion very generous. Their wine list was also good and the service was lovely - they fitted us in just before the kitchen closed, even though we hadn't booked - thanks for taking pity on us on a very wet night!

Could not wait any longer to get served, waited 15 minutes to be given a menu and get some response from staff. Then nobody was interested in taking a food order.It was a busy evening and we had to be asked to eat in the Cocktail bar, but we would still be sat there waiting for someone to take our order. Terrible way to treat customers, totally ignored and the barmaid in the front bar was so rude when we inquired which way to go to the dining area.

I ate with my family at the Fire Pit and ordered barbecued ribs, sweet potato fries and a side order of mac ‘n’ cheese. The waitress came back after too long - I would estimate 15 minutes - to say they only had one portion of ribs left whereas our party had ordered one and a half. I suggested we have two sets of half ribs. It came about half an hour later on one plate. The waitress asked if we wanted another plate, and then when we said yes slid the other half on to another plate in front of us but did not provide another salad portion. The sweet potato fries were great, the beer was good and I liked the decor, but the mac ‘n’ cheese was overcooked and came in a pool of oil. When the waitress asked how the food was, I noted that the barbecue ribs had no barbecue sauce on and the mac ‘n’ cheese was too oily. The ribs came back with the sauce and the mac ‘n’ cheese came back with slightly less oil. In hindsight, I wished I had refused to take back the mac ‘n’ cheese. The ribs were ok but nothing special - the £5 ribs I have had from Sainsbury’s were less than half the price and infinitely better. When I paid the bill the man at the counter argued that it was busy, but I said that did not excuse serving barbecued ribs with no barbecue sauce. We would certainly never go back.

Liberally dropped in off the street for an evening meal and was met by Jay who suggested we also join in the Pub quiz. Glad we did as we had a great night the food and staff were great. Next time we will book as we ate upstairs in the cocktail bar, the downstairs fire pit was fully booked.

The family had a meal which was delicious everyone raved about the food. Friendly service. Reasonable price. Thanks for a lovely evening and fitting us in without a booking.

Came for food not long after they reopened the newly done out Fire Pit restaurant. Love the theme and style that Steve and Desri have opted for, no where locally like it.

Had a meal at the fire pit restaurant last night! Absolutely amazing food and fantastic service! The prices are very reasonable too! We will definitely be back!

Very interesting menu where a good choice of meats are available on ceiling hung skewers. Good range of burgers as well as traditional grills. Not somewhere you will leave feeling hungry

4 of us shared a room all had seperate beds big plus as in other places weve stayed in Fishguard 2 of us shared a double. Room are fab with tv and tea/coffee facility also cracking view of Fishguard bay from room 6. . Nice and friendly staff lovely pub aswell. One mention has to be the new restaurant downstairs I had the burger with chilli on one of the best I’ve had and I’ve eaten plenty in the past to know.

We were staying nearby in Jordanston and looking for a nice local meal when we came across the Hope and Anchor on the internet, however the website wasn't working and we couldn't find a menu anywhere but decided to give it a go. We booked a table via the mobile number listed on Google and visited at 6pm on a weekday evening, with our 2 year old who was accomodated for with a high chair and kids menu.

Enjoyed two nights at the Hope & Anchor, ideal location for my husband's triathlon. Room was clean, airy and had plenty of room for us (2 adults, 2 children), and the full breakfast was absolutely spot on. Staff friendly and made us feel welcome, very much looking forward to returning at a later date. Thank you Hope & Anchor!

If u want young drunks and flirty behavior then this is the place. If you want sexual objects being shown then this is the place. Staff- a women behind the bar brought a whip in and was loudly tormenting a what seems like a local who seemed to be liking it. Others weren't. If you want young drunks dancing on tables etc then this is the place for you. Extremely small selection of nibbles. Small selection of draft beers. The place doesn't do lunch or dinner. Toilet clean. Don't bother going on a Friday or Saturday night as you are likely to run into quite a few loud, fouled mouth people. The owner is foul mouthed with every F word coming out of his mouth. The chef quit yesterday as he has found a better job. Beer stains on walls and ceiling. Hate to say it but even though the glasses are washed, they still look dirty.

4 of us shared a room all had seperate beds big plus as in other places we stayed here 2 of us shared a double. Room are fab with tv and tea/coffee facility also cracking view of Fishguard bay from room 6. . Nice and friendly staff lovely pub aswell. One mention has to go to tricky the chef made us a cracking full English that was spot on FairPlay

One night on a week long boys motorcycle holiday. Room very much as advertised and suited us well. Best breakfast yet this week. Owner very friendly.

We ate here two evenings after 2 days walking. Staff were lovely and the food wss amazing. Beautifully prepared and presented and very generous portions. Would definately recommend this place.

Stayed in Fishguard with friends and had such a good evening meal the first night we returned the next day! Very dog friendly.

Tried to get in here yesterday, but it was locked and looked very run down. Later in evening saw lights on. Did not go in so pse ignore this post. Can’t find a way of deleting it.

This, now small bar, no longer does food but has great beers and lots of sports channels. Friendly host who was helpful with local recommendations.

After walking out of our pre-booked caravan site, I searched booking.com and found this little place. I needed a family suite for my family and it looked super. It was !!

Went for short break , staff very welcoming , room clean and comfortable ,with added sea view, Breakfast on both days freshly prepared and absolutely superb, best we have had anywhere in a long time . great value for money. Highly recommend.

Warm, friendly & clean but a little worn round the edges. Ok so we might not have been here during the height of the season & everything looks better in the sunshine but the owner was fabulously Welsh & he did us a great brekkie....which...

We used the pub for a Friday evening meal. The young bar/ waitress was rushed off her feet as a member of staff was late, she coped admirably as she had to contend with serving at the bar, which was full with young lads just in after work and determined to have a god time and the downstairs restaurant. The food was varied and good quality and a reasonable price. I had the mushroom soup to start which was not the best and then a good quality and portion of ham egg and chips with extra really nice bread on the side. Good range of beers on offer and a nice selection of Cook books on display if your in to that.

This a pub trying to provide good food and having some success. We had good service and the food was perfectly acceptable. Decor was modern and clean and pleasant.

We had visited the Hope and Anchor several years ago and found it just OK for pub food. Staying in the area again for several days we decided to try it again. We were pleasantly surprised to find that it had been refurbished inside. The food on offer was still of the pub food type and perhaps a slightly limited choice. The service and quality of food were however well above average. The dining area was spacious and a very pleasant area in which to have a meal.

The restaurant downstairs had a nice relaxed atmosphere. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. The food was delicious and the chef tries to accommodate all diets. We moved to the bar after our meal and had a fun time chatting to the staff & locals.

Our family group was warmly welcomed here for an evening meal - including our dog. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the dining room was tastefully decorated and the food was delicious! Thank you for a lovely meal.

The menu was interesting but at least four options were no longer available so we both ended up with the fish and thrice cooked chips with homemade tartar sauce. The fish was very good, the chips were good but the tartar sauce had been tarted up too much and this did not improve it from the original - and there was a minuscule portion so we had to ask for more. Overall, our meal was fine but rather over priced. The most interesting thing was that we bumped into the chef in Tesco's just after we'd left because he had run out of ingredients. he was buying McCain's frozen chips - how do these become "thrice cooked" chips?

Just stopped in here for a pint so I can't comment on the food, but they had some good real ale and the bar staff were friendly.

Nice selection of beers and lagers. Friendly staff. Pool table and a small terrace at the back that catches the sun. Didn't eat there but the Peroni hit the mark after a day's walking. Very nicely fitted out. If you're staying at The Fishguard Bay Hotel it's within a short walk.

We arrived without a reservation but we were made welcome and after a short wait provided with a decent pub meal

we chose off the specials menu hoping for a good homemade beef bourginon - looked good on the plate but think had been prepared with a packet - still after a long day on the coastal walk you need to eat. Wish it had been made fresh though, such a waste of good ingredients

After suffering through often boring and sometimes wretched and frightening cuisine while walking the coastal path loo and behold an outstanding chef by any standard appears just off the path. Wow. Hey Trekkers and cyclists don't miss this chance.

Welcoming and friendly staff, good food, offered beer samples to help us choose, nice ambience. There's parking on Main Street or, after hours, in the car park just behind, near the doctor's surgery.

We dined at the Hope & Anchor Inn after a day of walking on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. The upstairs bar seemed lively with locals; we ate in the restaurant downstairs, which was much quieter. We started with a broccoli and Stilton soup, which sounds iffy but was actually superb! I'm not a big Stilton fan, but this was delicately flavored, attractively served, and creamy, but not too rich at all. My husband then had the Chef's Welsh beef burger, which he really enjoyed. The triple-cooked chips he had as a side were delicious. I had the pulled pork burger, which was disappointing. The pork was nearly tasteless and the accompanying salad greens were too bitter for my tastes. Our bill (soup starter, 2 mains, 1 pint Sharps Doombar, half-pint Strongbow cider) was just over 31 GBP. If I were to return, I'd definitely try their soup of the day and would order the beef burger.

Good food great price and really friendly staff, perfect place to eat and drink after a days walking.

offers good value for money food, friendly service and good choice of drinks, Curry night special on a Thu when we were there

A very friendly pub, popular with the locals. Plus a great little restaurant and then has a few rooms for bed and breakfast too. The pub was very friendly and obviously popular. Friendly staff and good selection of drinks, priced reasonably. Had a meal in the restaurant when again, service was helpful and friendly and the food was tasty, interesting and well cooked. Our room was small but very clean and all of the bed linen was white and spotless. Only negative comments about the room would be the tiny bathroom and the shower head that kept falling off. And there was no hand soap in the bathroom so we had to unpack our gear to get to our soap as soon as we arrived. Due to a strange customer/guest the night before the owners were kept up until five AM (did not affect us as we didn't hear anything) but they were still up in the morning cooking a very nice breakfast a couple of hours later. Cannot fault the service we received and the place is so handy for the ferry. Literally one minute away. Thanks for looking after us so well, particularly after the night you had had !!

Only a few tables on the bar side of this restaurant, but the food was reasonably priced and excellent.

We only went here for drinks and I can't comment on the food, but the staff here were friendly and the door and sitting areas are really nice. i would go back here again if i was visiting Fishguard

We had booked another place to eat as I couldn't seem to contact Hope & Anchor by phone, which I forgot to mention to the staff! We decided to pop in for a drink on our way to the other pub and so glad we did! I'm not sure if it's somewhere from the exterior that you would venture in with the kids but reading Tripadvisor it sounded like we should go in. Unusual inside as its on different levels but the staff were so friendly, helpful and accommodating that we decided to stay. Our meals were outstanding, very hard to beat the quality of this food and great value for money. Inside it was very clean and nicely set out more bistro feel than traditional pub feel. The only bad thing I can say is we were not staying longer so we could pay them another visit!

Great place with locals and friendly, welcoming people. I was on holiday from Canada and the place was close to my B&B, it's a great and relaxing place where you can enjoy drinks and talk with people without music being too loud and having to yell. I haven't tried the food but I promise myself to go back!

Went in for dinner, on the one day the chef was off. Stayed for a drink and got to talking with a couple of the local fellas, and with twenty minutes had solved all the worlds problems.Would go again. Reserving five star rating until I get to try the fish and chips.

I'll say the bad thing first: we waited an hour for our food and were one of two tables of people! That aside, the food was excellent and the service was good.Don't skip hanging out in the front with the locals before dinner. It was great fun to visit with them and learn about the area. It's where we heard the phrase, "We Welsh are welded in first gear." Ah, such fun.Check out the pictures--the food was very tasty!

We recently ate at this restaurant on three occasions and found the food to be lovely. A very pretty restaurant and great waitresses. Good value for money too. Just one word of warning, don't eat in the front bar as the language of the locals and bar staff is a bit choice, particularly if you are with children. The restaurant though is a must and the food is the best in Goodwick!

Absolutely fantastic food, friendly staff and amazing atmosphere...great place for an evening out :)

We turned up late afternoon on a Monday with no booking. We were shown room #1, the last available apparently. It looked comfortable & was clean (though with a distinct smell of bleach) so we decided to stay. Let me be clear - other than the smell, we couldn't fault the inside of the room. We were told that no breakfast would be available & accepted that. Until we asked we weren't told there were no evening meals! It's a bar & restaurant with the dinner menu displayed prominently. We found somewhere else to eat & drink.We wanted to leave around 7am the next morning. Initially told that the owners would be around at that time, however we were eventually given a key to let ourselves out in the morning. Interesting practise to leave guests completely unattended all night.Being a bar we expected some noise, which there was. However we didn't expect a bar brawl with the most horrific language coming up to our room loud & clear!! And I'm no prude when it comes to bad language. I realise it wasn't the fault of the establishment but it took some time to shut down the person causing the disturbance... & I'm quite sure he was not ejected from the bar. To top it off the plumbing is incredibly noisy. Every toilet flush & shower was very loud!Generously I'll say that that I'm sure other rooms, better situated than ours, make for a more pleasant stay.

We stumbled accross this lovely pub when out walking. Modern decor, good selection of drinks & friendly staff

Wow - what a lovely meal!There is a great hidden basement restaurant filled with charm and a cozy atmosphere. Really good food - highly recommended.

Really friendly Local pub. Staff really welcome you and it's a good setting for a relaxed drink with a pool table and seats on a balcony outside. The kitchens weren't open yet when we visited so we had incredible fish and chips at the place next door.

Locals in pub which was nice. Good jukebox. Unfortunately no food was served on that evening (Sunday)

Has been done up and had the heart ripped out of it. All laminate floors and loud music. Not open very often
