Good food should be for everyone, and at The Anchor, we really mean that.

Alongside our main menus, we also have vegetarian, vegan, dairy free and gluten free options available, with dedicated inclusive menus to help make choosing a little easier.

No awkward guessing, no “we’ll see what we can do”, just proper dishes, proper choices and a team who’ll happily help you find something that works for you.

So if you’re planning lunch, dinner, a weekend visit or a catch up with someone who has dietary needs, we’ve got you covered.

Good food, lovely surroundings and menus made with everyone in mind.

Our burger menu is stacked with favourites, from The Full Stack with Cheddar, bacon, fried onions and our special BBQ burger sauce, to The Loaded Hot & Dirty with jalapeños, Sriracha and plenty of kick.

More of a chicken person? The Chickenburger keeps things classic, or go all in with The Big Clucker and Anchor fried chicken.

We’ve also got The Green Stack, a plant based option that still brings the full burger night energy.

Big burgers, proper chips, cold drinks. Sensible plans can wait.

🌊 Fresh, crispy, golden, and straight From the Sea 🌊

Our fish is delivered fresh daily, never frozen, which means our From the Sea menu is always full of proper pub favourites done right.

Think battered catch of the day in our own special batter, breaded scampi tails with homemade tartare sauce, fish goujons with chips and peas, or the full Mixed Fish Platter if you’re feeling serious.

There’s also Fisherman’s Pie with fresh white fish and prawns, plus our Gochujang Fillet of Fresh Salmon for something with a little extra kick.

Classic comfort food, fresh seafood, big flavour, and no freezer fish nonsense.

Sunday plans? We’re calling it tactical preparation. ⚽🍽️

If you’re staying up for the England game tomorrow night, you’ll need a proper bit of fuel first. And if you didn’t have the foresight to book Monday morning off, you’ll need a full tank and possibly a small miracle.

We’ll be serving our Sunday roasts, plus the full main menu, so come and get yourself set up properly.

Good food, cold drinks, England later, and Monday morning pretending you’re absolutely fine.

See you at The Anchor.

Tomorrow is Independence Day for our American friends, and we hope they have a brilliant one 🎉

But while they’re celebrating history from 1776, we’ll just be over here in a building that dates back, in part, to around 1400 - no biggie 💅

So this weekend, come and raise a glass somewhere with more history than an entire country!

Come on England!! ⚽

We’re showing England v DR Congo live at The Anchor today, with food, drinks and plenty of room for the usual calm, measured, completely normal tournament behaviour.

Big screen on. Pints ready. Nerves absolutely not ready.

Football not your thing? No stress, we’ve still got areas of the pub staying football free too.

See you later. 🏴⚽

England vs DR Congo, live with us tomorrow! ⚽

The knockout rounds are here, and this is exactly the sort of game that needs a proper atmosphere, cold drinks, good food and a room full of people pretending they are absolutely calm about England in a tournament.

We’ll be showing the match live, but don’t panic if football isn’t your thing, there will still be areas of the pub staying football free too.

No pressure lads, just the entire country quietly whispering “please don’t **** it up” at the telly.
