One arm full of meat. One arm full of b**r. A grin that says “I’M NOT SHARING.” 😂🥩🍺
Nick’s Sunday is going considerably better than yours.
Fancy a slice of this action? 🎟️

Some like it fresh. We like it dried. 🍊🍋
Our cocktails get the H&A treatment, right down to the house-made dehydrated citrus.
Sliced, dried and ready to garnish. 🍸

💰 $5100 is up for grabs and the Joker’s still playing hard to get! 🃏
That’s a lot of Guinness, a few questionable life choices (the good kind) and a very happy winner in the making. 😂

Get yourself to the Hope & Anchor. Your future self might shout you a round! �

Meet Mikey. Regular barfly, professional taste-tester, and apparently our newest dessert correspondent. 🍹🍦
Today’s experiment: a Spreyton Hard Tropical Punch Spider.
The verdict? IT’S GOT LEGS. 😂
Tropical punch, ice cream and a cheeky little kick. Basically, a childhood classic that’s grown up, got a job and started drinking at the pub.
Mikey approves. The rest of us may need to conduct further research. Strictly for quality control, of course.🍍🍒

💰 $5,000. FIVE. THOUSAND. DOLLARS. 💰
Well, well, well… Jag the Joker has officially hit the big five-oh-oh-oh! 🍻🃏
And with nearly HALF the cards already gone, things are getting VERY interesting. The jackpot’s fat, the options are shrinking, and somewhere in Paddington, a future winner is already planning how to spend it.
Could be you. Could be the person next to you. Could be that bloke who’s been buying one b**r a week and reckons he’s “due”. 😂
🎟️ Free tickets with every purchase from 4–7pm
🃏 Draw at 7pm
💰 Jackpot: $5,000
Five grand on the line, fewer cards in the frame, and absolutely no pressure… except for the entire pub watching you turn over the wrong card.
Get down to the H&A. This is where it starts getting properly juicy. 🍀

Last week’s winners are still smiling. The meat trays are probably long gone. 😂🥩
Meanwhile, our MC Riley is warming up those vocal cords for another Sunday of shouting numbers, stirring up the crowd and making sure nobody misses their chance at glory.
Think you’ve got what it takes to join the winners’ circle? There’s only one way to find out!
🥩 THE HOPE & ANCHOR MEAT RAFFLE
🎟️ Free tickets with every purchase from 2–5pm

Get in early, grab a drink, secure your tickets and prepare for Riley’s dulcet tones. Earplugs optional. 😂
And remember, if you win, claim your prize quick-smart. There’s a hungry pub full of people who’ll happily volunteer for a redraw!

The working week is officially on its last legs. 🍻
Emails can wait. The washing can wait. That thing you promised yourself you’d do on Monday? It can absolutely wait.
It’s Friday arvo, the drinks are flowing, the banter’s questionable and the weekend has entered the building.
Clock off. Rock up. Weekend on. 🍺
See you at the Hope & Anchor.

💰 $4,900. FOUR. THOUSAND. NINE. HUNDRED. DOLLARS. 🤡
That’s a lot of b**r money. That’s a lot of rent. That’s a suspiciously large number of meat trays. 😂
Tonight, one lucky joker could walk away with the lot!

💰 Jackpot: $4,900!
Find us at the Hope & Anchor. Have a pint, grab your tickets and let fate do its thing.

THAT’S how you react to a meat tray! 😂🥩🏆
One of the biggest winning reactions we’ve seen at the H&A — and frankly, we reckon he’s earned every bit of that excitement!
Think you’ve got what it takes to match him? 👀
🥩 3 epic meat trays + a massive tomahawk dinner for 4 (or 1 very hungry legend!) 🎟️ Free tickets with every purchase 2–5pm Sundays 🏆 Drawn 5pm
Come for a drink, stay for the steaks… and possibly lose your mind over a tray of meat. 😂

Just another day at the Hope & Anchor. 🍻😂
Superheroes, clowns, animals… and that’s just the people coming in for a drink. No idea what’s going on half the time, but we’re happy to pour through it.
Your local pub. Never a dull moment. ⚓️

Faith is a wonderful thing. Especially when it comes with a decent head on it. 🍺😂

From cucumber to pub legend. 🥒➡️🍻
Our house-made pickles take a little dip in the fryer and come out as FRICKLES. Crunchy, golden, gloriously dippable.
Proof that it’s what you do with your pickle that counts. 😏

😂 Some handshakes are just handshakes. Others are the opening ceremony for a very long afternoon.

👑 His Majesty has a birthday. You could have $4,600.
What better way to celebrate King Charles’ birthday than trying to find a Joker and walking away with a very royal-sized jackpot? 🃏💰
Jag the Joker is up to $4,600 tonight!

👑 Drawn 7pm
🍻 Find the Joker. Take the crown.

Last Sunday, one table won ALL THREE MEAT TRAYS. 🥩🏆
His partner looked suitably embarrassed by the sheer wealth of riches, while he looked like a bloke who’d just discovered the secret to life. 😂
Honestly, he should’ve bought a Lotto ticket on the way home.
To his credit, he did share the wealth and gave one tray away to another lucky punter. ❤️
Can lightning strike twice? Find out this afternoon.

Free tickets with every purchase 4–7pm. Drawn at 7pm.
Find the Joker. Find the cash. Try not to drink the evidence. 😂
