Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Anchor Inn
Very traditional village pub, also serving the nearby Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal trade no doubt. Both the public bar on the right-hand side and a cosy snug to the left of the central entrance have walls covered with old photographs, cigarette card collections and other ephemera. With all four handpumps in use, I found Ludlow Gold (£4.30), the expected pair from Wye Valley - HPA and Butty Bach - and Hobson's Town Crier being served. All 'cash only', with a cob-based menu, just like the old days!

Real Ale Ray left this review about Anchor Inn
Farm worker William Taylor was the first landlord of the Anchor which opened in 1840. This family run pub stretches back some 77 years in the same hands and some of the original tables remain, which were purchased in the 1920's. The pub consists of a small lobby entrance, which leads into the main lounge and bar on the right and a smaller room on the left. The pub is carpeted throughout and the walls were decorated with some traditional plates and paintings.
Five ales on handpump, we went for the Hobsons Town Crier and 3 Tuns XXX, both were exceptionally well kept. The pub also offers a fine range of generously filled cobs with large side salad on the plate. The pub was busy on our Saturday afternoon visit, with customers enjoying a good pint and a tasty cob, all the customers were friendly and chatty.

Absolutely packed on a Thursday Lunch time. Everyone is eating Cobs :-).
5 Real ales on - two from hobsons, two from Wye Valley and the 3 Tuns that I had. Beer in superb condition. Noticed three CAMRA certificates on the wall.
2 x Cheese and Onion, 1 x Pint and 1 x Diet Coke for around £8. Can't complain at that.
