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.
