Hope and Anchor

Great food, friendly staff, extremely good prices.  If you want a quality meal in a friendly environment then make sure you stop at the Hope and Anchor whether it be part of the Hadrian’s Wall trail or as a trip out to the Solway. Can’t praise it enough. Thanks for making the week so memorable for us!

We visited the Hope and Anchor this evening as it was local to Barrow on Solway where we were staying for the week. 

From the outside it looks like an unassuming country/village pub. We were pleasantly surprised with a warm welcome from Fran when we went inside. There were plenty of drink options at the bar and we were handed menus for dinner and were able to take our choice of table. The menu was varied and prices very reasonable. 

I had fish goujons to start and my husband had chilli nachos. With everything being cooked from scratch there was a slight wait but we didn't mind as we knew it was being freshly made. The food arrived piping hot and beautifully presented. The batter on the fish was so light and crispy. I certainly didn't expect that quality and it was very well received.

For main course we chose the country burger which came with chips and salad and the chicken in a creamy mustard and mushroom sauce which came with vegetables and A choice of chips or potatoes. Again it was all cooked fresh but Gary kept an eye on us, checking if we were okay for drinks and keeping us informed of progress. Both meals came out as before, hot, well presented and good portion size. 

Gary and Fran both checked everything was okay during both courses and Fran came out of the kitchen after we'd finished our mains to apologise for the delay.

I'm glad wee found this wee gem of a place and we'll definitely be back before we head home. 

Called for some refreshment while out cycling.
Lovely sunny day so I was able to sit in the beer garden, nice pub, friendly staff, comfy outside seating. Parking is just across the road if required, but a perfect stop off for walkers and bikes.


We stayed here after completing the Hadrian’s wall walk. Everyone was so friendly, the accommodation was clean and comfortable.  Best of all the food was excellent homemade fare with generous portions for hungry walkers. I highly recommend the Hope & Anchor.

Super pub. Food was yummy and big portions. All freshly made to order. Steak pie was delicious and huge. Nice fresh veg. Home made puddings. The owners are very friendly. The pub has a really nice atmosphere. Also got rooms. Would very happily go back.

Stopped in for a pint after doing long walk. Had a chat with owner / landlord very friendly fellow. Nice place excellent for watching the football etc.. But also in great location with good views across the Solway. Stop in for a drink!

What a welcoming place

Loved it!

Nice Pub

We went here because we all craved a roast dinner after where we were staying was fully booked and this was near by. The staff were lovely and there was a few tables in and we went for eating inside on the 2 courses for 15.00 deal when asked what roasts were available and 3 different ones were given my sister in law ask if she could have a mix of 2 meats but it was a no. So  that indicated to me pre done and pre packed to pull out for use so I went with steak pie and mash so did my brother with chips wish I had chosen  them as my mash u could taste was reheated and I left it large portion and could not fault the pie it was amazing with some veg. Hubby who is gluten free went for the roast without Yorkshire pud as told by the staff member no GF menu or indication on menu he went with gammon and couldn’t have gravy either. Sister in law went with the roast beef but got given a pie but they changed it and was as I though pre done she said it was ok hubby said his gammon was pre poached and had no flavour and alot of fat.  He had the pea and ham soup to start and felt that’s where the ham flavour had went. Brother had spicy wings but these were normal wings with a spicy sauce on the side. I went with creamy garlic mushrooms which were lovely. Sister in law went with sticky toffee pudding which was ok and bought in. I feel if hubby wasn’t GF I would go back as mine was nice enough if I had taken chips but everyone else didn’t enjoy parts of there’s and husband only liked the soup  which is a shame as staff seemed lovely

Bad choices

This place was not in the least like it was described for a start our room did not have a toilet it was 4 steps down from the room and was shared there was not even matching bedspreads in the room and the view was over looking a disused tennis cour not the solway firth breakfast again as not shown or mentioned ie  was continental breakfast room smelt musty and my wife refused to stay there keys left on bar as owner was no where to be seen

Worse place to stay I have ever seen

We stayed at the Hope & Anchor for 2 nights. Our shower was a very old electric one which kept varying in temperature. The shower waste was half blocked with what looked like body hair. By the Land ladies admission our room was cleaned from one day to the next . As result our paper thin towels once used remained wet and not fit for purpose. The food was very average. The whole is in need of complete refurbishment.
