Refurbished and reopened by new custodians in May 2024, the Anchor is located on the old A41. There is a car park, small patio to the side and large garden to the rear. Inside oak beams and real fires make for a welcoming atmosphere in this friendly pub. A recent addition is a small separate games room for playing pool or darts, and plenty of board games available to use throughout, plus a TV for sport. In addition to cask beers they also serve locally-sourced coffee and alcohol and gluten-free bottled beer and wine. Dogs are very welcome and there is even a special dog food menu in addition to free doggy snacks. Work on the new kitchen is still in progress (as of mid-May 2024) but soon to be completed, when there will be food available from 12 to 4 such as jacket potatoes and baguettes, plus a Sunday roasts. Snacks such as sausage rolls and Scotch eggs are already available. On Saturdays there is a mobile food van on site.

The Charter Market Quarter has many historical links. One of the only free-standing medieval civic clock towers, the site of the First Battle of St. Albans in 1455, during the Wars of the Roses. Allegedly the Boot Inn played host to soldiers fighting in the battle. There used to be 23 pubs around the Market area!
The northern end of the Market is dominated by St. Peter’s church, one of the three churches originally built by the Saxon’s on the main pilgrim routes into St. Albans. Soak up the history and architecture of the area, as well as music history!
This area is packed with history and interesting pubs, some open, and some no longer with us.
