About This Pub

Oh, what a treat All Hopes No Promises is – it's one of those places that just hits the spot for a relaxed evening out. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the food is spot on; those burgers are proper showstoppers, with reviewers going on about how they're the best in town and come in massive portions that could feed a small army. Pair that with the friendly staff who always seem up for a chat and a laugh, and you've got yourself a welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for students, families, or just a quick catch-up with mates. The retro games room downstairs is a real highlight, adding that extra bit of fun to the mix, and the drinks selection is spot on for something refreshing. On the flip side, it's a shame it's only open five days a week, so you might have to plan around that, and without a website or phone number, it's not the easiest to get the lowdown beforehand. Still, overall, it's a solid choice if you're after good value, especially with those lunchtime deals, and it feels like a place where you can genuinely let your hair down without any fuss.

Cons

What a burger place. Can we get a dessert menu. Another lovely visit. Excellent food and service. If you are that person that holds a video call on your tinny speaker phone. Every one hates you.

The vegetarian burger was delicious and the vegetarian hot dog was good too. Massive portions. But the highlight was definitely the downstairs retro games room!

Best burgers in Lancaster!! Staff are always so lovely and a great laugh and the food is amazing every time we go, it never disappoints The lunch time deal that’s on 12-4 Wednesday-Friday makes it a great place for me and some friends to go all the time for a catch up and a laugh, and we always come on nights out for one of the great cocktails as well! There’s a really fun games room downstairs with retro arcade games and some playstation games as well! Would 100% recommend to anyone who is visiting the area as well as people who already live here that are looking for somewhere new to go :) You won’t be disappointed!!!

I must say, this was spectacular. I’ve got to admit something here, I’ve been around Lancaster for about 5 years now with the very sad through that the UK has everything but an understanding of how to serve a decent burger and you know what, I wasn’t wrong. Fortunately for you and me, this place is German inspired and extremely well equipped with drinks and burgers that can just make your day. As a veggie person I’ve alway found it difficult to find a decent burger that can satisfy my need for something filling and ‘juicy’ but here we are, me, you and the burger you’ll definitely have after you’re done reading because All Hopes No Promises delivered on my hopes to finally have a decent burger. The staff are lovely and the atmosphere is top notch. Not sure what else I can say expect get “your ass over there and enjoy a good meal”.

Visit frequently since moving to Lancaster in August 2023; really good atmosphere and popular with students and families due to the well-liked food menu. Good range of beers, ciders and lagers and staff always friendly. Kept clean and nicely decorated for annual events such as Halloween and Christmas. Personally, as a huge proponent of venues accepting cash payments, thus not excluding vulnerable members of society, I was especially pleased to note that All Hopes No Promises Lancaster openly support payment in Cash, that is a big plus from me.
