The Hope & Anchor, a pub nestled on the banks of the river Wye in Ross-on-Wye, was recently named among the UK's "most glorious riverside pubs" by The Times. Travel editor, Gemma Bowes, made mention of the pub's large and busy beer garden, along with the town's host of bookshops and "quirky" cafes. "The pub hosts live music at its bandstand, while the Hut, in its garden, serves wood-fired pizzas and cakes alongside drinks," Ms Bowes wrote. "It was a fantastic boost to all the chefs and staff here at the Hope and Anchor to know that their hard work has been recognised in such good company. Along with rooms to stay in and dinners to devour, the pub also offers afternoon tea packages, along with a cocktail masterclass workshop.
