Extensively refurbished for an upmarket “opulent” feel, the anchor is definitely an alfresco gastro pub, specialising in high quality. Set in beautiful surroundings and right next to a local public footpath to Thurstaton it is frequented by tourists and locals alike. Extensive outside areas provide alternative seating during the warmer months.
