The Anchor, Sevenoaks

Visited 10/11/25 Cask was Anchor Imperial Ale from Wantsum Brewery, the Gadd's Seasider Golden Ale and the Harvey's Sussex Best. Keg was Madri, Guinness, Fosters, Carling, K1664, Magners. Utterly lovely traditional pub, U shaped with bar counter following the shape of the venue on a bare boarded skirt, the remainder of the venue on the sides and front being very traditionally carpeted. Banquettes around the outside perimeter serving regular tables. There is a fire grate on the front right-hand side wall not lit on my visit and there was a covered piano at the rear of that side. A single screen was showing weekend recorded footy action absent commentary, the sound a low volume 60's compendium. Lovely traditional decor. Venue had a poster saying it had been continuously in the GBG for more than 20 years - no shit Sherlock as I thought it was a cracking pub with excellent beer.

Back in Sevenoaks - just a note to say this is how a pub should be run. Unlike the Black Boy next door, where I thought I was the invisible man, I was greeted by the landlord who introduced himself, asked where I had walked from, shook my hand. Allowed a try of a fine pint of Franlins English Garden. Pub as noted before but welcome appreciated. Visit blogged at http://bit.ly/2G6jH6n
