The Anchor

A pleasant pub to while away a few hours, more so if the sun is shining as the beer garden is sizeable and particularly well laid out. Inside is your typical ‘local’ pub set up with the archetypical quiz machines and regulars ‘lounge’. The staff lack a bit of oomph and personality for my liking but the general ambience is friendly enough.
More a place to chill out if you bring the crowd yourself… we use it as a meeting place on a friday as everyone finishes work. This is partly as most of us have children now and it means they can meet up and socialise too. There are no formal swings or park, but lots of grass and trees to explore. They do a very popular pub quiz on a thursday night.
As far as I know they dont do food — however they do always seem to be catering for a function of somesort every friday and saturday night. Yesterday had been a ‘wake’ — ine of those ‘I want to be remembered with laughter and alcohol’ type affairs not maudlin at all. As we sat outside the family of the deceased brought out trays and trays buffet food to us that was uneaten. It was all a bit odd — but meant in a good way.
Prices on drinks are good with a glass of wine coming in at £2 and a pint around £2.20.
