Having sampled a few parmos in town I've given a heads up about the hope anchor.. went in and it was fairly quiet so quickly found a seat and got a pint of fosters... ordered a full Hot Shot parmo, £14 for half £17.50 for a full. Asked if they had take away cartons should I not finish it, thankfully they did... food came out and I wasn't disappointed it was massive, couldn't even eat half of it, jill got the garlic and Stilton parmo which was bang on... Hot Shot could have been hotter, that said it was top drawer.... would definitely go again... total bill was £47. Not the cheapest but definitely worth it...
