The Anchor Coastal Inns & Taverns Ltd. The Anchor is situated at the very heart of the Cowes Yachting scene. The name changed to the 'Anchor Inn' in the 1820's.
(685)

Opposite the Cowes Yacht Haven and only a short walk from the Red Jet terminal it is the ideal place to relax after a hard day on the waves. The Anchor offers you good food, good ale and a warm welcome throughout the year. In 1704 the Debourne Estate in Cowes leased the land called St Mary's mead on which the Anchor now stands, for 99 years to one Ladowyke Brandenburg, a victualler. Called the 'House of the Three Trumpeters' it became the principle coaching inn of Cowes. Traditional Ales and hearty fare make the Anchor a fine place to eat. Open all year round and offering a choice of daily specials from the blackboard, the Anchor is always full of atmosphere. Summertime eat outside in the stable yard; Winter draw in by the blazing fire and wile away a few hours. For more information please visit our website and we hope you'll visit us soon.
