The Hope and Anchor Tenby

I cannot visit Tenby (and write my blog!!) without mentioning the legendary Hope and Anchor pub down in St Julian Street! Normally when the sun is relentless (not very often!!) it is a pleasant reprieve on our way back from a hard day on the Castle Beach to stop for a cold pint and a bag of crisps but this trip the weather was not good and we only managed this 2 or 3 times. Nonetheless good to see the same old people that are there most nights and funny that the kids' highlight of the entire holiday was watching Frostie on a skateboard (rumour has it he'd had a couple of shandies!) being led by 2 Dobermans until he flipped backwards on his bum amongst general roars of laughter!

Anyway, we went down there for dinner on our last night and had a reasonable meal. The portions are good value as there is always more than enough to fill you up. We ordered as follows: a garlic chicken for Imogen, an 8oz sirloin steak and chips for Scarlett (yes - the 8 yr old!), a Balti curry for Jon and Moules Mariniere for me. Service was prompt and all the meals were good although my mussels were not as good as the Qube (a bit too salty!). The garlic chicken breast was really tasty (highly recommended) and the Balti for Jon was the second curry of the day...oh to be on holiday all the time!
