The Anchor Inn dates back to the late 1700's. The first known landlord was a John Durham recorded as such in 1834, and the current building is believed to have been built during the early 1960's after the original was destroyed by fire.
A country pub oozing rural charm and rustic character, our picturesque surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for savouring the hearty, seasonal pub-food on our menu, and the carefully nurtured cask ales and fine wines gracing our bar.

Sat down immediately, welcomed by lovely friendly staff and atmosphere. Took our order swiftly and served not too long afterwards. The roast and desserts were all very beautifully presented and tasted amazingly! We were left rather a long time after puddings with no drinks and bill but understandably very busy.
Excellent food. Perfectly timed service for each course. If they don't have everything on the menu, don't let it bother you, it means they are actually cooking the food they have, not stockpiling in a freezer. Staff are friendly and efficient. Mother in Law said best meal she ever had... high praise indeed. Once word gets around, this place will become very popular. Total cookery transformation from last visit before it was taken over. Eat here. You won't be disappointed or need a bank loan.
I love going out to dine at this place. The staff are always warm and welcoming. Food is excellent great value. This time of year its lovely to be by one of the real fires .
This is a standard Vintage Inn pub with a warm welcoming atmosphere and is super dog friendly. Water bowls and snacks available in the dog friendly seating area which unlike other pubs isn't just the bar area, there is a small area of the restaurant that is also dog friendly. (Don't worry if you're not a dog's best friend, the main restaurant area is away from any visiting dogs). The service on my visit was slow and borderline poor, we'd booked a table and arrived slightly early but stood waiting at the bar to be seated for about 10 minutes before a member of staff acknowledged us... It was a fairly busy bank holiday Monday and I put it down to this as when we were seated the staff were very friendly and polite. In all, you can't go wrong with a Vintage inn, food is top quality and the atmosphere is nice 👍
Popped in for a drink and a bite to eat. Upon approaching and entering the pub after I'd parked up, I thought I'd struck gold. In fairness it's close to being the perfect cosy country pub. Beautifully presented inside, plenty distinct corners to lose yourself in, lots of cosy old fashioned charm. The leather sofa I plonked myself on - wonderfully comfortable. Lots of comfortable furniture throughout. I ordered a lager shandy, and some halloumi fries that were outstanding. Juicy, fat, crisp with a lovely piquant yet smoky relish on the side for dipping. At £3.95 brilliantly priced as well. So why no 5 stars? Before leaving, I had to nip to the loo - and here is one of my golden rules of eating out. The toilets are a public area that requires cleanliness; if these aren't decent, what are the areas like that one can't see (ie kitchen)? The first thing that hit me on the way in - the eye-watering sour stench that turns the stomach and burns the eyes. The source- leaking urinal and the river of malodours sticky liquid spilling across the floor underneath. There was a yellow warning sign in here - they are aware of it, but on a quiet mid afternoon, no one takes it upon themselves too check how the leaky toilet is getting on. The walls had holes in and the decor - given how beautiful the rest of the pub is, was a tired, old and coming away (literally when you saw the gaps on the wall where the old English drawings/paintings used to live). While it's a low score, it is really easy to fix this. Sort the gents out and you have a top tier English county pub.
