Hope and Anchor

Tucked into Paddington’s leafy Given Terrace—a proper British boozer packing serious culinary chops. Forget standard counter meals. The kitchen here plates up pure restaurant-quality finesse. Brissy breakfast hounds are currently obsessing over the steak and eggs, anchored by crunchy, hyper-seasoned hash browns that are frankly legendary. Shift into the evening, and it’s all about perfectly poured pints of the black stuff, crisp house lager, and creative plates ranging from flawless beef cheeks to a cracking quarter burger. The aesthetic is pure vintage warmth—quirky heritage corners, worn-in seating, and lively banter. Whether you're chasing a proper Sunday session with live tunes or a top-tier feed, this is the spot. Pull up a stool.
