The Hope & Anchor in North Lincolnshire

Had a lovely Mother's Day meal here today. The service was fantastic, the food was fantastic and they accommodated all dietary needs and a vegan menu. There was 10 of us and the food came out beautifully presented. The service was exemplary from the kitchen, waitresses and bar staff. Well done Hope and Anchor we will be returning very soon.

We had a large mothers day booking. Firstly, there is no doubt the food was delish and the staff were very attentive. The only downside was the lack of veg for the fish main. We didnt realise the veg was for the meat eaters when ordering. As we are big veg fans, sharing the veg for two across the 4 four fish eaters meant we were a little disappointed. We did purchase the cauliflower cheese as an additional but the fish eaters would have liked some veg too. However, the fish was lovely and we all enjoyed our food and drinks so, we would return but for the cost, it would have been perfect if we had understood. The restaurant was very busy and we should have asked for more, however, we were on with the mains before my hubby said the meat eating party behind us had two veg portions. On the positive side, the venue was warm, staff were fantastic and the quality of the food was great. The food was so delish, we could have done with a spoon for the egg starters as not to waste the sauce. Thank you.

We waited over an hour for our meal . We were told to arrive before our booking of 5pm to get food orders in before hand . So orders taken at 16:35. We ordered 4 main courses that arrived an hour later! The gluten free options were minimal, I was asked if I minded having chips that had been in the fryer with battered fish ! Obviously they have no idea what it means to have coeliac disease and it meant the only option was mashed potato. Food was just left on the table no explanation about the food , who the vegetables were for etc. All in all a very poor experience from what is supposed to be a Michelin star rated restaurant. Why can’t menus be labels up gf and V ? It’s not hard to do . We won’t be eating there again time soon.

We thoroughly enjoyed a fabulous set menu to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Suberb food and exceptional service from a team of professional and personable young people who are a credit to The Hope and Anchor!

Was taken for a birthday meal by my wife, staff were great and explained the menu to us and their commitment to using as much as they can to reduce food waste . My main of belly pork was brilliant, as was the coffee creme brûlée. My wife and daughter enjoyed their meals too. Will definitely be back again.

Absolutely fantastic meal at the Hope and Anchor. First visit here and we will definitely be back, service was friendly but professional, we had a slight issue with the cooking of one of our meals and this was rectified immediately and discreetly. My only positive feedback would be the coffee crème brûlée was in a dish too shallow. The result was not enough crème and it was slightly warm as the impressive crunchy top was grilled/torched. The flavours were excellent but I’d suggest a smaller but deeper dish.

Let’s start with the main event, food and bev, outstanding tastes, flavours, quality, portion sizes, and presentation. Very smart venue, in a pretty brownfield location, albeit with panoramic views north and west over the Humber, from the restaurant, but decidedly not from the bar! Pricing is unnecessarily high; the overall experience including location doesn’t warrant these prices, in my view. The other odd feature was the non-optional introductory speech from our server, about the establishment’s policy of using the whole animal. Not for the squeamish, or for the borderline vegetarian, and really could be toned down. I would think twice about returning.

The environment is lovely and the staff were very friendly and attentive. I think price wise it’s on the higher side but for a Gastro pub …. Probably normal so no complaints there…. I feel it’s the food that let the place down which is a real shame. There is a good choice on offer but the chef puts their twist on the menu. For example. We ordered a crab starter. Looked great …. Perfectly presented. Mashed with dill. Dislike dill so not eatable ….. no mention of dill in the menu…. I ordered bangers with onion gravy …. The sausages were of good quality but again so spiced just not enjoyable. I ate them but repeated on me all night. If you are using a specific flavoured sausage please put it in the menu to enable proper choice ….. Mac and cheese ordered …. Again mashed with some sort of mustard … again not mentioned in the menu. You get the picture. I guess it’s all down to taste some people may love the food so it may just be me and my wife. On the plus side the chicken live pate was terrific. Sorry to leave a mixed review but perhaps more info in the menu would be helpful

Absolutely loved our entire stay here for my partners birthday on Friday night. Nothing was too much trouble at any stage as I had been in contact regarding a few special surprises. Staff throughout were so friendly and attentive. An absolute stunning meal and beautiful surroundings. Will definitely be returning.

Excellent service and food was amazing deffo going again , wheelchair friendly aswell , staff was very friendly and could not help enough very impress

My husband and I booked for lunch following a recommendation from a friend. We arrived early for our booking on a freezing cold, foggy day. The welcome was as warm as the log burner in the bar. We sat and relaxed with a drink by the fire until our booking time. The service is second to none, staff were polite, knowledgable about the food and drinks and happy to tell us all about the ethos of The Hope and Anchor. We had 3 courses each, everything was delicious, sublime and flavourful with everything on the plate complimenting everything else. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing and we had a much needed relaxing lunch. We drove home, replete and already planning our return.

Having been a regular visitor here for a number of years, and written both positive and negative reviews in the past, I’m pleased to say standards have been raised again! Visited with friends, our waitress was lovely, as were all the staff we encountered. Food came out quickly was hot, plentifully and of a good quality. We really enjoyed Sunday lunch here and will definitely visit again very soon.

Lovely cosy place with good views of the humber & sunsets. We had the 3 course Christmas menu of soup, lobster pate, turkey dinner & Christmas pudding. All the food was outstanding, cooked perfect with lots of flavours. Staff were attentive, friendly & professional.

Stayed here with family for our annual Christmas get together and could not fault it! The food was absolutely superb. The staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for you. We often struggle when staying overnight because of beds being too uncomfortable and hard but here the bed was so comfortable. Highly recommend this place and will be back. Looking forward to coming again for a Sunday roast at some point!

Absolutely beautiful meal, only mired by the burnt brioche starter. Coppa (starter) burnt brioche bun Lamb (Main) Perfection Was overly warm from the "in house log burner". Staff not punctual with drink orders.

Recommend to us by our hosts at a nearby Airbnb.. we were visiting the area for a short break with our dog so it was important to find a restaurant that allowed dogs. Whilst understandably they don’t allow dogs in the main restaurant they do...

Saturday afternoon. Over 50 min waiting for food to come out. 30£ steak chewy and barely edible, rest of the food ok but some portions really small. No drink menu.

The menu is really extensive, with something for everyone. The food quality is second to none. The Mac n Cheese was incredible. My son thought the fillet steak was the best he had ever eaten. The staff were so friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. The atmosphere...

Wow what can we say, simply amazing! It wasn't our first time although we have not been for a while but this was by far our best visit yet. We had the chateaubriand sharer and it was melt in the mouth delicious. The chips and...

Had a really nice meal at the hope and anchor. Staff friendly and attentive. The menu had almost too much choice on it but lots of good things to try. I actually went for sardines to start which were really tasty! The jospered bream for...

Okay so on approach I was immediately struck by the Michelin signs which got me excited. The local ales on tap were a welcome entrance along with the very professional & articulate french manager who made the experience that much more enjoyable. The interior of...

We’ve had several meals at the Hope & Anchor pub recently. We love the views out over the Humber, and beautiful sunsets if you are lucky! There are several dining areas in this popular gastro pub, but we prefer the conservatory, and the dining room...

We arrived for lunch and sat on the outside decking. Was a nice spot but looked very tired and in need of some maintenance, and weeding. The waiting staff were very good however we were disappointed to be told not everything was available on the...

Nice welcome from an over abundance of inattentive staff, decor better on the inside and quite relaxed for informal dining. Food on the good side of average but nothing to write home about, the non fussy one found the beef tough going. But beware, despite...

Had a lovely one night stay. The deck area over looking the river was a perfect place to spend the afternoon. The room was small but perfectly formed. Comfy bed, had a great nights sleep. The evening meal was excellent, all perfectly cooked. Would recommend...

One of my most memorable dining experiences. This hotel dining establishment is a real jewel of a find. The rooms are excellent and there are so many little touches that make this place a wonderful place to stay. Without doubt, we were looked after by...

What a wonderful meal we have just had. A lovely long meal, just as we like. The most tasty food all cooked to order. All staff were friendly, our order taken by someone with a real love and knowledge of the food served. Views across...

Very disappointing special occasion. Went with family group for meal. So many wrong orders with food and drink. Ribeye steak was cold and poor quality. Overcharged. Waited well over an hour fir pre-ordered food and when it arrived it was all wrong. Michelin Gourmand supposedly...

Disappointed, expected a lot more due to the pub’s award wins and press reviews. I would say the food was slightly above mediocre for the price we paid.

Large table of us visited and for the most part really enjoyed our visit. We had a mix of starters, mains and deserts and baring the odd issue (which were put right) it was brilliant. We’d visit again for sure!

Very disappointing, run out of most steaks and no offer of discounts or free drinks/desserts for this. Living on their past reputation and don’t care about making you feel like your having a great experience. The food was good but not great for the prices...

Sadly the restaurant didn’t live up to our expectations. The food felt it has reverted back to pub grub from what used to be Michelin or rosette worth. Fish and chips was oily. The pork was slightly tough. Disappointing as the food just didn’t look...

Absolutely awful experience from start to finish. During our meal the 'manager' decided to shout and swear at a member of staff and appeared to make a young waitress cry. Why is this acceptable to happen?! His actions were absolutely vile and extremely unprofessional to...

Came for a Sunday lunch with family. Place visibly very busy however young staff managed well and no complaints with theservice from our table. Food excellent as advertised. Ordered first round of drinks at bar as was waiting for the rest of our party to...

Great evening. Their Whole Meat Project would be worth visiting for alone, but everything was great. All 4 of us very pleased.

Fabulous lunch nothing to much for the staff service is unbelievable the restaurant is very nice great view over the estuary and the food was amazing all locally sourced and very fresh

I wanted to share Sunday lunch with a family member, for their birthday, and we were not disappointed. Located in the heart of the Humber estuary, this gastro pub is friendly, intimate, and beautifully decorated. The food is exceptional. The fish cake starter tasted extremely...

I booked this place due to a work trip. I stay away at least two evenings per week, I don’t like the usual chain hotels and I certainly don’t like ‘pub grub fast food’. First thing I have to say, Booking.com botched the reservation but...

What can I say? We arrived early and only hoped to be able to drop our luggage, but a nice young chap showed us to our room, and although it wasn't quite ready, we were invited to use it as we pleased. Dinner was excellent....

Stunning sunset view and delicious fish and chips make this restaurant an unforgettable expierience. Attentive stuff and perfect flavors create a must-visit destination for nature and food enthusiasts.

Great for any occasion or just a great meal. Visited for our anniversary & wasn't disappointed, the food was of a high standard. The surf & turf was fabulous & cooked to perfection. Staff are attentive & friendly. The anniversary card & mini dessert were...

Absolutely faultless. We haven’t been here for a while and have vowed to come more often! Staff friendly & professional tasty nibbles of polish sausage & whitebait got tastebuds going… tomato pesto salad tasted amazingly good, hubby loved his moules & then we both had...

The rooms are ok, small desks but new bathrooms. The issue is with the kitchen. We struggled a lot with the time needed to cook a fairly simple breakfast (1hour from when we ordered a full English breakfast til when we actually have eaten). We...

High quality food in nice surroundings but a little over priced . Staff are efficient and welcoming .lovely bread which was gluten free .

Absolutely fantastic great food great staff great atmosphere fantastic views what a lovely way to spend theday

Do not waste your money here. The ‘michelin rating’ is clearly outdated and when other people worked here!! Upon entering, it was immediately clear although it’s a pub with a restaurant that the staff were NOT happy we brought children with us although they’re well...

Just eaten at the Hope and Anchor for a family birthday meal. The meal itself was very pleasant. However, we all felt it was let down by the staff, in particular the welcome we had from the very brusque, miserable young barman. Made us think...

We booked a room and stayed over on a Friday evening. Friday afternoon we had a light lunch on the terrace. Both starters were excellent and tasty, with great presentation. In the evening we had a filet steak each, cooked to out liking, accompanied with...

Absolutely amazing. We started with lunch where we only wanted something light as we were booked in for dinner too. The staff were so accommodating, making suggestions for a tasty charcuterie. (Highly recommend). We were staying in ‘pudding pie’ room. Comfy and clean. (I’m a...

Food was great. Service was horrendous and I don’t use that word lightly. - had to ask multiple times for cutlery for every course (who doesn’t bring a spoon when serving soups and deserts??) - served my 2 year old a scorching hot plate, even...

We stayed in Pebbley Beach! Lovely views over the River Humber and the Bridge! Spotlessly clean, nice bathroom and a large TV complete with Netflix. Tea and coffee tray with a great selection and some really nice biscuits! We had Dinner downstairs. The food was...

The food was just incredible, perfect portions that were so rich they left you SO full. The half chicken and Caesar salad was amazing, I would definitely recommend this for any first time visitors. The service was also impeccable - all staff are their to...

No shower Gel in shower only shampoo and conditioner. Double bed not kingsize! Would prefer small fridge rather than milk and water in an ice bucket. Tap in hand basin very stiff and toilet wobbly. Hand rail up stairs was sticky and filthy, not very...

This restaurant is lovely! Food and service both excellent! Reasonable prices for such excellent quality food! We had starters which was lovely but the chateaubriand medium rare was delightful! Will definitely return soon!!!

Great find thanks to TripAdvisor. The ambiance is great with a real country pub vibe, excellent views of the Humber estuary and informal dining combined with high class food. I had to have some seafood being so close to the North Sea (even though it...

Excellent service and quality food at a fair price, food as described and tasty. Visited twice this month and both times really enjoyed so will recommend. Should offer more drinks more frequently is the only suggestion as they do not hound or pressure you and...

We have eaten here a couple of times for lunch and one special occasion so decided this year to try valentines night. After waiting 20 minutes after our booking time we where seated in the cold conservatory , no music , no atmosphere , no...

The food and the service were excellent it was my friends birthday and wedding anniversary , there were 2 cards on the table for them. There wasnt a bad meal served all 3 courses for 4 people were exemplary we will be back

Nice to be offered water, less nice to have to pay £3+ for a bottle. Not as big a shock however as the £9 for a 175 ml of red wine. A "pre-starter" £4 single oyster and the same for 5 largish whitebait, complete witn...

Sunday lunch visit. We arrived early and did not expect to be seated immediately. There were lots of unused tables as we stood at the bar, where the owner approached us and offered a couple of stools at a bar area. We thought this was...

I’ve visited twice in January for Sunday lunch so thought it fair to write a review. Service has been quick on both visits, food was lovely although for the price my husband found the portion sizes to be on the small size. Despite the portion...

Was led to believe that this place was owned by the same person as Winteringham fields. If that is the case then he seriously needs to sort it out. My mother was sick when she got home and I had a dodgy stomach. 3 steaks...

We went and stayed over for an anniversary/retirement and birthday - we had a lovely evening- great food and wine and service- faultless

We have been wanting to try this place for years due to its reputation for amazing food, especially for vegetarians. Well we were both highly disappointed. The ambience of the place was nice but the food was terrible and the service not great either. Only...

Beautiful location, surrounded by water. Very tasty menu. Prompt and courteous service by Grace. Highly recommended.

Great lunch. Cold outside but warm and cosy inside. Great service. Food hot and very good indeed. Beers on tap are very good.

Never been to the place but heard lots about it , loads of staff which took turns serving us through the evening which I thought was unusual . Starters was good and service was good & drinks were flowing, got to the mains 2 steaks...

Excellent service, the staff were attentive and the quality and presentation of the food was outstanding. The burgers are to die for! Lovely comfortable surroundings too! We will all be visiting again very soon.

Excellent as usual. Good friendly service as formal or informal as you may wish. More importantly, staff on hand if you require and when you require. Superb food and wine. A busy vibrant atmosphere. A name drop for Jak, Jake , oh and not to...

We ate for the first time here this afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed the meal, portion size could have been bigger though! Staff were excellent, so helpful. I was shocked to find out they had to wait right up until 7.30pm for a break after being...
