Proper pub. Liquorice all sorts of punters. I wish I was here a month so I could drink with all of them. Nice ciders, nice people. Table skittles, decent Pool table.

We were staying opposite the Hope and Anchor and had to call the police as the people kept my kids awake and didn?t care about the noise. It was 1.30am two nights in a row. Do not go to this pub

Great local pub with pool table.Music on weekends sometimes as well. Check board outside or just pop in for a pint and ask.

At first, the pub seemed quite old fashioned but nice on our first visit. The landlady seemed quite miserable, though, and the regulars were the sort of people that seemed a bit unused to seeing strangers in their pub. They looked over a lot and mumbled amongst themselves.The highlight of our second visit was a large woman standing at the bar gleefully telling the man standing next to her "she's only getting one!" When my partner was just getting a drink for me and not one for herself. She obviously thought I was out of earshot.Weird all in all, but I'd probably go again even if it's just to make their lives more bit more interesting for a while.

A true locals pub in the back street by Waitrose, Tends to be more of a cider pub and by that I don't mean the icy fizz with strawberry in it. Proper cider. Still, strong and a bit cloudy. Can get a bit animated at chucking out time. The beer is often a bit acidic as it doesn't sell.

This pub is not only one of the last true remaining pubs in Dorset, but the whole of England. It is a proper drinkers pub with bags of character. Sue and Flash: the landlord and landlady are friendly, down to earth and run a traditional pub in a traditional way. Swedes of regular customers who look at it as a second home; a happy place where all are welcome and all are merry. Don?t come to this pub expecting the boring over-priced same old polished, characterless palmers pubs with terrible beer and little feeling of what a traditional pub should be. Come to The Hope And Anchor, a trip down memory lane where people who find what pubs used to and should be but very rarely are. I urge any tourist from the UK or overseas who want to find a real pub to visit here. Long live and love (which spellcheck appropriately swapped live to) The Hope And Anchor!
