Hope And Anchor in Carmarthenshire

Delicious, fresh food that’s served with great presentation. Reasonable prices and friendly staff, highly recommend.

This place is a little gem about 5 minutes walk from the harbour . Chilled, lovely spot for a beer , light lunch or breakfast.definitely recommend

Delicious lunch whilst on holiday, gentleman owner and wife were lovely. Great spot and lunch fresh, beautifully presented,tasty and filling, my daughter and I had to take half away with us great portions. The chips are the best ever, my son is a real fuss pot with chips and he enjoyed two bowls full, thank you both xx

Stopped of for a light lunch great little pub lovely fresh sandwiches and baguettes wide selection of fillings definitely recommend super friendly bar staff

Called in and was very pleasantly surprised. Lunch menu is sandwiches and baguettes, but don’t let that put you off. I had a roast beef on malted bread and it was superb. Absolutely jammed packed full of tender beef and served with what could pass for a full mixed salad; not your usual leaf of lettuce and a slice of cucumber! Landlord and Landlady both really welcoming and super friendly. Pub itself is lovely, a proper old school pub - dartboard and all!

Lovely little bar - not overly busy & great for a quiet drink . Tables outside busy as it was a beautiful day but able to take the dogs inside

Lovely pub spent three days in Burry Port we were due to go walking but it rained so we ended up in this bar, Lovely well presented cheese board for two, you could pick three cheeses from a list which was great - plenty of cheese biscuits, grapes, pickle, butter and a bit of salad this came with a bottle of wine for £25 . We will be calling in again Next time we are in the areas for more of the same :)

Superb Food absalotly delicious,will definatly go again & staff were lovely & welcoming & so friendly.

Booked in as soon as I found out the hope where doing Sunday roasts as I’ve eaten here a number of times and it’s always been spot on. And me be my friend weren’t disappointed. Outstanding dinner, all home made. Even the Yorkshire pudding which you don’t see that often. Amazing value for money to. So good that we booked in for this Sunday for another one. A++

We had a family meal here on a Monday evening and were not disappointed. The food was superb and the staff really friendly. Great value children's menu as well.

A gem of a pub. Great menu with excellent choice of fish dishes. Very welcoming our waitress couldn't do enough for us. Dog friendly, even with our rather large labradoodle! Great quality of food, expertly cooked. Delicious!

20 of us celebrated our grandparents 60th Wedding Anniversary here; amazing. The staff & service we received was exceptional, all food served hot, as described and at the same time. Everyone was very happy with their meals which were all very tasty and amazingly presented. We we’re not rushed atall, were well looked after and all left happy with full bellies of good food. Will definitely return again. Thank you all.

We have visited The Hope many times over the last few years and never been dissapointed. The food is always good. It’s great to see a local business managing to keep their heads above water in todays current climate. They deserve the reputation they have earned and I wish them well. I look forward to returning soon.

Been to eat here for breakfast, lunch and dinner time . Each meal well cooked and tasty. Staff are helpful and polite. Reasonable price also. Definitely recommend.

Despite it being a Tuesday night and a little quiet - we had a lovely meal for the 6 of us. Excellent choice of seafood on the main menu - loved the crispy cockles on the starters - and great choice of fish plus a specials board - flounder, salmon, smoked haddock. Five of the party had a dessert too - waffles were a hit.

The husband and I wanted a quiet meal for our 20th anniversary. The hope did not disappoint. Food was beautiful and plenty of it, service was great. Reasonable price, very happy and will definitely return.

We had the steak, gammon, pulled pork burger and chicken burger. All were well cooked, my steak being a perfect medium rare and the plates were huge. Everything was fresh and tasty. The fish menu looked pretty special too, even though it’s not always my...

We called in on a wet weekday afternoon, four of us simply looking for tea and coffee. There seemed to be few other welcoming places in the town. When we saw what they were offering, we each had an indulgent pudding to go with our...

What a find! Took advice from a previous reviewer who recommended the Fish Specials. So glad we did. The fish was beautifully cooked. We had Cod wrapped in Bacon with cockle and laverbread sauce, and pan fried seabass on a bed of creamy cabbage with...

This is a pub restaurant open Mon-Sat, called here for lunch on a Friday. No pre-booking so pleased that we could be accommodated. We were given the standard menu - same as most pubs of this type - but what sets this place apart is...

The restaurant of the Hope and Anchor is in a well decorated room behind the bar area. A variety of fresh fish was listed on the menu which sounded exciting but was disappointing when served. The plaice dish was watery, lacked flavour and was served...

Stopped here today on the off chance and we were completely blown away. Oak smoked haddock and a BLT for my partner and I. Both dishes were out of this world. Really tasty, well presented and the chips were to die for. A real hidden...

Cockles and white bait as starters, hake and haddock main meals - all excellent. Great room at the back of the pub which was light and airy with a sea shore theme. Well done guys; we’ll be back.

Excellent service and superb food. Absolute belter of a breakfast. Large breakfast for the healthy appetites, normal size also available. Added bonus of tea or coffee at no extra cost.

We stayed in Burry Port for a few days and found this little gem - The Hope & Anchor. We went for lunch one day and then an evening meal a few days later. The fish menu is amazing and a ‘caught today’ option too....

Fab food! We had the fish menu and it did not disappoint! Service was good too. This is a restaurant rather than a traditional pub as it looks from the outside.

We met up with friends from Bewdley ,(plus their collie dog), who were holidaying nearby. Just a short hop for us from Gower area. So pleased we decided to lunch at the Hope and Anchor...Perfect choice...Welsh hospitality at it's Best !!!... Really friendly atmosphere. Great...

Had lunch today - fantastic food and welcoming attentive staff. Great menu choices - lots of different fish dishes and steak and burgers. Gorgeous homemade desserts. Perfect end to a relaxing week in Wales.

A last minute extra day in Wales and selected this Pub for e evening meal. What a surprise a great friendly welcome and a wonderful surprise of fresh local fish and seafood. Rate the food and drink 10/10 and VFM. Will be back

Absolutely mouth watering, the food was amazing cooked to perfection, already booked for 2days time as they couldnt fit us in the nxt day as they're fully booked. I recommend it highly it was beautiful.

We ate here last week and had lovely evening meal, all the food was very fresh and large portions. Looking forward to returning soon and hopefully trying the breakfast next time.

Nice restaurant, mid price range for a pub very friendly staff, good choice, mainly fish, but also steaks! Only negative is they don’t serve Welsh beers!

Had a nice family meal here tonight. Very efficient service and was very attentive to my daughter’s allergies. The food meal size was good and tasted great. All kids enjoyed their meals. Also very careful with covid- lots of ventilation, sanitiser, masks and visors worn....

Excellent service, waitress very attentive, presentation excellent, food brilliant, My husband is a burger conesuer, ( excuse spelling) rated it. His starter of crispy cockles with lava bread, was rated excellent as well

What can I say, second time this week we have eaten here and does not disappoint. The food is great Host and staff very hospitable Would defiantly recommend

This pub advertises itself as a fish bistro, but I was there at lunchtime when the menu is more of a traditional pub style. I’ll be back later to try the fish! I had a home-made burger with pulled pork and cheese which was excellent....

Visited Hope and Anchor this evening. The place looks tiny from outside but when you go inside it has a fabulous dining area at the back. Fabulous food, Friendly staff, excellent COVID safety. We had a lovely evening and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Very friendly and welcoming... service with a smile and lovely fresh fish too... very enjoyable and relaxed evening thank you!

Last minute my husband and I decided he wanted to go for food despite me telling him you need to book for absolutely everywhere because of the recent covid etc. We tried a few places no such luck our last hope was the Hope and...

Had a lovely meal, great fish menu and pub classics. Very friendly staff. Would absolutely recommend!

The this was a bit of a surprise to us. We were looking for somewhere to have an evening meal having gone to another listed pub which no longer serves food. This is a busy pub to the front with a restaurant to the rear....

Called in off chance for some lunch. Very friendly staff and good prompt service. We had 2 excellent meals that didn't break the bank, and the waiting time was minimal. Good choice of beers. Will definitely visit again in the future.

me and my dad went down there on thursday really quiet but nice staff and drinks on a hot day thank you

Dad had been looking for a really good bit of fish while we were away. This lived up to everything he’d been looking for. Plus we were happy in the setting with ages from 76 to 16. A lovely meal nearing the end of our...

Staying in Burry Port for the weekend and as well as a couple of stop offs for a pint, we ate dinner here on Saturday night. The food is fantastic, a really good fish menu as well as pub classics for a really good price....

Called in last minute for lunch and so glad we did I had the pulled pork panini with cheese and nachos , husband had the mega burger and fries and my daughter had the cider battered cod and chips...the restaurant was full as they had...

Beautiful evening meal and few drinks with family. Steak was cooked to perfection and my mother in law had the fish,which I tried and was very tasty! Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff .

We were spending 4 nights in a cottage in Burry Port and went here out of sheer desperation. There is a very sad lack of anywhere decent to eat in this town. Places are either closed up, closed on certain days, don’t serve food after...

We were staying in nearby campsite and didnt seem to have many places to choose from. However we were not disappointed with the welcome, food and great value for money provided by the Hope and Anchor. All usual bar meals provided along with extensive fish menu. Nice attention to detail with home made coleslaw and fresh salad. I would happily recommend.

We popped in for lunch on the day of the Burry Port Carnival, very friendly welcome . Had a couple of drinks and ordered from the daily fish specials

Visited with 2 friends, one Italian and the other French. After a couple of dire experiences with them it was a relief to go somewhere that delivered what it promised! The fresh fish menu was particularly impressive and tempted my friends who said their dishes were very tasty. I had a BLT baguette really stuffed with bacon perfectly cooked. The helpings were very generous. Staff friendly. Only negative is that they don't take cards and this isn't signposted clearly. I think they should consider taking cards for, say, bills of £20 or more if they are worried about small payments being made on card.

Great place to eat very friendly with a wonderful selection of fresh fish beautifully cooked. The Welsh rarebit starter was also delicious

Have been to this pub twice . The first time ate outside and the food was amazing . Just been back tonight as going home tomorrow and we were shown to our table by a lady who had first class customer service skills . Food was fab thank you .

£5.95 for ham, egg and chips. i normally pay twice this amount anywhere else. not only was it cheap but was also magnificent, easily the best ham egg and chips i have ever had the pleasure to consume.

Had a great Meal today did not have to wait long reasonable prices and excellent service steaks ere cooked as we asked them to be can't fault it

Stopped off for lunch and a pint on a recent walk to Burry port, the food is excellent and way above what you would normally expect for a bar meal, the staff and owners are also really friendly and welcoming

Had lunch today with family. There were eight of us with various choices from a varied menu. The food was delicious and nice and hot. Everyone enjoyed their meals with no complaints.

Run by a couple who are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Had coffee, a lunch and a breakfast here and each was great - the breakfast enormous and fantastic good value. Plus, bar area is dog friendly which is a real bonus when on holiday with the dog. Highly recommended.

Visited in October. Great beer, great food, and best of all its dog friendly. The burgers are delicious.

Nothing spectacular about the building or the location even if Burry Port is a hidden gem. Food here is as good as anywhere around.

The pub has nice decor and I heard the beer was good. We enjoyed a sandwich lunch, with lots of cheese. Bring cash as credit cards not accepted.

i had a meal there with my daughter and granddaughter on a Sunday the thoroughness of handling my gluten intolerance was very good always double checking if what i ordered was okay for me. The food is good and the prices reasonable. the atmosphere good and staff very friendly. It is a bit deceiving from when you enter as to the size of the place because as you venture further in you discover a large restaurant at the back. recommend.

We had only an hour to find lunch in Burry Port and were delighted to find this place. We ate in the cafe at the back. Received a great welcome on arrival. Food prepared quickly and some was off regular menu..we asked for specific sandwich fillings and toasties etc, all no problem. I.e children enjoyed their meals prepared to their fussy specification! We had quiche, was delicious, with lovely side salad too. Good value, and good service. Very happy customers!

Been using this pub since we’ve been holidaying in Burry Port for the last three years it’s a proper friendly pub. This year they’ve started doing food we’ve been three times since arriving and each time has been excellent. The breakfasts are till 12 and there’s a big selection, It’s all freshly cooked. The majority of the menu is homemade as well as the burgers, the portions are really generous. They are dog friendly in the bar at the front but the cafe at the back isn’t. The prices are very reasonable for what you get as you’d pay easily more in a bigger town. I’m a burger fan and the monster burger I had was in the top five that I’ve eaten, my wife had a chicken burger which to her surprise had the burger and chicken fillets as well hence she couldn’t manage the chips. I’d recommend to anyone trying the pub/cafe they serve food till 5.00pm seven days a week well worth a visit and I hope they continue to succeed.

We held our wedding reception here on 21st June. The restaurant at the back was perfect for our 30 guests. The room was bright and comfortable and nicely decorated. They had even drawn a picture of our border collies on the chalk board! Use of the rear patio garden was a bonus as it was such a lovely sunny day and our dogs were able to join us here later in the evening.

We were there last Thursday at a friends wedding,yes,the reception was here,and I can now highley recommend this pub .I have been using trip advisor for years,and this is only the second time I have given a 5 ⭐️ rating.The attention to detail was lovely,happy smiley staff who wanted to be there and serve you with a chat and a smile.Dave the owner/licensee exceptionally!nothing was too much trouble,the room was decorated to a high standard...We had the choice of. 3 course meal,huge portions,I had steak !pasty melted in your mouth,my husband had fish and chips best ever he said...Yes I totally recommend this pub if nothing else the food exceptional!we will be back.

Stopping in Burry Port for the week. Found this great little pub which is dog friendly in the bar area. We had food there twice. Good basic menu, but great portions. Nicely cooked and decent range of drinks. As mentioned before, they don’t take cards so remember your cash. Would definitely recommend.

This is a great place to eat, we sat in the Beachcomber Cafe at the back of the pub which was bright and comfortable. The food was good and they were very accommodating! It’s cash only so you need to remember to go to the cash point first!

Just had a supa dupa meal could not fault it very efficient lovely clean place very reasonable prices x
