The Anchor, Wolverhampton

Still as described below. Despite heavy bias towards food, some nice beers and generally a good feel to it. Very handy for canal, with good moorings close at hand (although it is the Staffs & Worcs, not the Shropshire Union!!).

An excellent review by the Monster below - A detached Swiss cottage looking Vintage Inn pub/eatery, in cream painted brick, with some green, steep pitched roof, dormer windows and beer garden, adjacent to the canal. The interior is open plan and divided into the usual Vintage Inn nooks and crannies (better described below). I completely agree with AM, in that they try to give some historic feel, with the use of old photographs and prints on the walls. The decor is in green, red, whites and undressed brick, with wood support and ceiling beams. I didnt eat here - mainly as it is so packed when i visit, i don't want to stay - but Vintage usually supply a decent meal as far as i am concerned. The service was functional, but to be fair, the place was rammed with a good mixed clientele and he was under pressure . There was no background music or TVs. Beer; tap stuff with Peroni, as well as Everards Tiger, Brains SA and an excellent Timothy Taylor Landlord on handpull. A really nice place, but being miserable i can't put up with the fact that it is too crowded whenever i visit - so often end up with a pint in the beer garden. For those hardier than myself, i am sure you will love it - so take the Monster's word for it, not mine!
