The Hope & Anchor Bristol Menu

The Hope & Anchor Bristol is a traditional pub at 38 Jacob’s Wells Road in Clifton. A long-standing part of the local pub scene, it combines a compact interior with a distinctive multi-level garden that is especially appealing in warmer weather.

The food offer is rooted in familiar pub cooking, with lighter dishes and substantial mains suitable for lunch or an evening meal. Vegetarian choices add flexibility, while the informal service keeps the experience closer to a neighbourhood local than a formal restaurant.

Real ale is an important part of the pub’s identity, supported by lager, cider, wine and other bar drinks. The garden provides space for small groups, and the central location makes the venue convenient for Clifton, Hotwells and the city centre.

Current opening and kitchen times can vary through the week, so diners planning a meal should check ahead. Guests with allergies or dietary requirements should ask staff about the latest menu, ingredients and shared preparation areas before ordering.

Address: 38 Jacob’s Wells Road, Clifton, Bristol BS8 1DR, England
