🍽️ LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT ROAST TOMORROW? LOOK NO FURTHER!!

Choose roast lamb, 28 day aged beef, turkey crown, our vegetarian roast, or go all in with the Three Meat Super Roast!

Every plate comes loaded with roast potatoes, honey roast root vegetables, steamed vegetables, peas, Yorkshire pudding and as much gravy as you like, with plenty of sides and extras available too. Add pigs in blankets, cauliflower cheese, extra roasties, another Yorkshire pudding and more!

Smaller appetite? We also serve small plate roasts, plus warm roast meat sandwiches with all the proper trimmings.

Why rush home when it’s this lovely out?

🎬 MEET THE TEAM...
..or at least the ones unlucky enough to be working that day. 😂

Every workplace can feel like a sitcom sometimes, and The Anchor is certainly no exception. So we decided to make it official and recreate The Office opening credits.

Which iconic scene should we recreate next? Leave your suggestions in the comments! 👇

So, nobody guessed the right pint yesterday, not even Katie! 🍺

But don’t worry, even if yesterday’s drink had you stumped, we’re confident we’ll find the right one for your next visit.

With more than 15 draught options, bottled beers and ciders, wines, spirits, soft drinks, freshly made coffees, teas and boba tea, there’s plenty to choose from, whatever you’re in the mood for.

And yes, we’ll serve yours in a glass. 😅

Some people do a blind taste test. We do things a little differently. 🍺💦

We put our bar manager Katie’s expert knowledge to the ultimate test. Could she identify a pint after having it thrown directly in her face?

It’s the kind of staff training you just don’t get anywhere else. 😂

Watch to see if she got it right! 👀

☀️ Creative ways to keep cool at The Anchor this week...

🍨 Skip straight to something sweet and cooling from our dessert menu.
🍹 Find a shady spot in the garden with a refreshing cocktail or soft drink.
🍺 Let an ice-cold pint do the hard work.
🍽️ Stay out of the kitchen and leave the cooking to us!

However you choose to beat the heat, pull up a chair, find some shade and enjoy a chilled-out visit to The Anchor. 😎
