🚨 IMPORTANT TRADING UPDATE 🚨

Unfortunately, we have to close for an extra day this week! 🛠️

Due to the renovations currently underway at The Anchor, the job has turned out to be a little bigger than originally planned. Because of this, we’ll need an additional day to get everything finished properly.

📅 We will be CLOSED Monday 7th, Tuesday 8th AND Wednesday 9th September.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and really appreciate your patience and understanding while we get things sorted! ❤️

We’ll be back open Thursday 10th September from 10:30am, ready to welcome you back! 🍽️🍻

❤️ HAPPY FATHER’S DAY FROM THE ANCHOR ⚓️

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads, Stepdads, Granddads, Father Figures, Paw Dads, Dads in Heaven, and to all the men who have played a fatherly role in someone’s life.

Today is all about you! ❤️

Fatherhood isn’t just about being there for the big moments. It’s the early mornings, the late nights, the sacrifices nobody sees, the lessons quietly taught, the endless support, the dad jokes 😂, the shoulder to lean on, and the reassurance that no matter how old we get, Dad will always be there.

To the dads who work hard to provide, the dads who put their families before themselves, the dads teaching little ones how to navigate the world, and the dads who simply show up every single day; we see you, we appreciate you, and today is for you.

And for those who are missing their Dad today, remembering a Dad who is no longer with us, or whose journey into fatherhood has been difficult; we’re thinking of you too. ❤️

From our Anchor family to yours, we hope your day is filled with good food, good company, plenty of laughs and, most importantly, the people who mean the most.

Happy Father’s Day. You deserve to be celebrated. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who chose to book with us today, we appreciate every single one of you!

Love,
The Anchor Team ⚓️
