A former smugglers inn, The Anchor Inn Pub and Bar is proud of its strong philosophy of offering traditional British hospitality in the best and truest sense of the word. Good beer and a friendly atmosphere ensure that everyone feels welcome, whether you simply want to sit and warm up with a pint beside the roaring wood burner, or if you are out with a large group celebrating a special occasion by eating in the charming rustically-styled dining area.
Produce is sourced as locally as possible (very locally in the case of the Morston Mussels, which are available when in season and hail fresh from the Quay just yards away) and the dishes are simple and long established, but delicious favourites that will appeal to all. There are daily specials and The Anchor does a fabulous, traditional Sunday lunch.
If you fancy a lighter bite, sandwiches are available, as is afternoon tea with a pot of tea, a slice cake or a fruit scone with clotted cream – lovely.
If you simply want to quench your thirst, take the weight off and unwind with a newspaper, The Anchor has a great selection of cask-conditioned ales and a wide choice of wines.
For something a bit different, why not try the ‘Oyster Shot’ (available when in season) – one juicy Thornham oyster, Tabasco, vodka, a pinch of pepper and Worcestershire sauce – bound to heat you up on chilly winter days!
The bar is open Mon-Sat 1am-11pm.
Food is served 12noon-2.30pm and 6pm-9m (until 9.30pm on Fri and Sat).
