Anchor & Hope shortlisted again

The pub, on the corner of Hatfields near Southwark Station, was known as Bar Citrus until last year when it returned to its original name. The Anchor & Hope was a Charles Wells pub and today its beers are still on tap.

The Evening Standard's Edward Sullivan, who describes the pub as "a cut above its neighbouring restaurants", writes: "The Anchor & Hope has returned to traditional pub roots by providing an almost workaday atmosphere but with a seriously good food and ale offering.

There are ten contenders including St Margaret's at Twickenham which was also relaunched last year.

The Anchor & Hope has also been shortlisted in two categories in the Tio Pepe Carlton London Restaurant Awards.
