About The Hope & Anchor

A big, buzzy Liverpool pub where the atmosphere does a lot of the work — good for a family lunch that doesn't need to be quiet, or a match on the screens with the kids in tow. Buggy access and high chairs are sorted, there's a kids' menu, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when someone needs air. The bottomless brunch is what people come back for: Caesar chicken, decent vegan options, generous portions, and drinks topped up quickly even for big groups. Two honest snags — food waits can stretch past half an hour when the kitchen backs up, and prices feel steep for what lands (£7 for a bowl of loaded fries). Book if you're a group, and don't come starving with a toddler. One parent found it "such a bargain" for the brunch.
