Blue Scrumpy left this review about Hope & Anchor
Bouncers on the door of this pub early on a weekday afternoon was not the most hopeful sign. Once we'd negotiated them and all Covid formalities, we were requested to scan a QR code to order drinks.
There's no real ale here. The most exciting prospect seemed to be Little Creatures Pale Ale on keg, but that was off. Therefore, it was a rather unexciting Brixton Reliance Pale Ale for me. Others I recall were Camden Pale, Beavertown Neck Oil, Guinness & Orchard Thieves.
The garden area at the rear looked interesting, but it was too cold to be seated outdoors. So we sat at the rear indoors.
There is a central island bar and some rather strange lighting features, but it really wasn't worth the effort of stopping here.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Grand Union
Dismal American-style diner, with limited seating around the island bar, and a narrow front terrace that you can't take drinks out onto. The only point of interest is the large fairground-style 'Pleasure Garden' to the rear featuring brightly-coloured illumination and a series of wooden cabins. Also has a function room upstairs (not visited). Of course, none of the three handpumps was on (although reversed clips for Bombardier and Addlestone's cider were noted). With nothing of interest on the bottled front either, opted for the Peroni (£2.25, half) but at least I got an apology for it being served in a Becks Vier glass!

This place has the usual décor and dim lighting of the Grand Union chain. There is a plasma screen, but it was off during my visit and I didn't spot any sport advertised, not that I expected to in a place that advertises itself as a bar and grill.
Bombardier and Youngs Ordinary were available alongside Addlestones cider and standard/premium draught selection. I cannot comment on the standard of the beer as I left before the excruciatingly slow young barmaid had finished labouring over a couple of glasses of wine for the customers before me.
I'll not be returning.
