What Karen T likes about Blue Anchor Inn:
Has to be the best Sunday lunch I've ever had out, just like home made. Piping hot and everything cooked to perfection and very tasty. The staff were so friendly, helpful and pleasant. The building is outstanding well worth going there just to see it. The small rooms with their log fires are so welcoming. Booking is advisable. View all feedback.

Probably the best pub I have EVER been to. The food was 10/10, the beer was cold and the atmosphere was quaint and cozy. The passageway to the bar was SO COOL!!
