Ian Mapp left this review about Ye Olde Anchor Inn
Spoiled for choice in Upton but I ignored the riverside pubs and went for this one - dating back to 1601. As an update in 2026, I found myself back on a Monday - many of the pubs are closed and the Kings Head and Star Inn were both caskless. So although there is choice, this is the default.
Four real ales - Doom Bar, Tribute, Hobsons and the chosen Timothy Taylor. Perfect pint.
My kind of pub.

Aged-looking place and certainly the pub is small and cosy with wood beans, wobbly ceiling, carpet and open fireplace. Four ales, fairly mainstream with little style variety – Wye Valley Butty, Tribute, OSH and Butcombe Rare Breed; a half of the latter was serviceable (NBSS 2.5) served-up by stereotypical Saffer staff. Of bigger interest were the scotch eggs, which I discovered were fabulous. I expected a bit more from this one but saying that, it’s easily the best pub in town. GBG listed.

Over the years I have been to the Anchor many times, always a great pub! I hear that my old chum Howard Hill-Lines is a regular there these day's! Well, if the place attracts that sort of pedigree, cant be bad, he is probably the best publican/hotelier I've ever come across! Well done for pulling such an esteemed client.
