Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Anglers
Busy village pub with multiple rooms. The front bar is carpeted with a TV showing golf and some Six Nations buntings. With the TV on mute, some 80's music was being played instead.
A second room reached by a corridor was very busy with no tables free. There is also a games room with a pool table, another TV, a sweets machine and a rather large fish in a cabinet. To the rear of the pub are some outdoor areas, along with a boules piste and a pizza van whilst I was there.
At the bar, Theakston Best Bitter is the regular cask ale. Guest beers were St Austell Proper Job, Beermats Diplomat & Pheasantry Try Time. The pub also hosts various events, such as live music every third Friday, a quiz night, as well as comedy and bingo nights. Children are allowed in.
A lively and decent village local.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Anglers
Welcoming village pub - nothing fancy, but pleasing traditional and well ordered in the front room housing the main bar and seating area. Another room with a smaller counter in visible beyond the central servery. All four handpumps in use, dispensing Butcombe Bitter, Theakston Best, Oldershaw Heavenly Blonde and Harley from Welbeck Abbey (£3.75).

Standard village pub with door to front leading into the main room with bar to the right. Two further rooms, one to the left with a pool table and a snug which I couldn't work out how to get into. Four hand pumps - nothing particularly strong but as I was driving I only had a lemonade.

Thuck Phat left this review about Anglers Hotel
A comfortable village boozer which is clearly popular judging by the small crowd in on our Tuesday lunchtime visit.
There's a sporting theme here with an interesting, wide-angled photo of Lincoln City's ground, Sincil Bank, by the bar, various trophies around the place and an impressive wooden board detailing the Golf clubs achievements. There's also a dart board and pool table for pub sporting participation. Other pictures around the place make reference to the angling theme of the name. All conspiring to create a comfortable atmosphere.
Four handpumps have on two regulars: Theakstons Best and Deuchars IPA and two guests: Titanic Rule Britannia and Hobgoblin on our visit. The Rule Britannia was excellent and well kept but you are clearly taking something of a gamble on the guests if you want to avoid the ubiquitous nationals. The various pumpclips from previous guests around the place and my own visit suggests that's probably a gamble worth taking.

Bucking Fastard left this review about Anglers Hotel
A Victorian building where you enter into a carpeted public bar with the serving area to the right and a darts board and banquette to the left,with traditional seating and tables elsewhere.This is where the regulars gather.There is a back room,a little gloomy with a pool table and a flat screen,while around the corridor to the loos,there is a quite seperate small lounge with it's own bar access but only a T dispensing the usual keg products.In the public bar there are usually two guests beers besides a permanent,and on my trip Titanic Rule Brittania (£3.25) was in very good nick.I didn't see any sign of food,it seems a genuine boozer and I would certainly pop back again.A little walk from The Fossdyke Navigation,but well worth it.
