Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Anchor
Side-street pub with hints of Brewers' Tudor on the gable ends and above the central entrance doorway. A dark and traditionally decorated bar with oddly sparse furniture is located on the left-hand side, but it is housed within quite a large building so there must be another room at the other end. Rear patio garden. Three cask ales - TT Boltmaker, Djambo Untrained from Bentley Brook and Castle Rock's seasonal Tackle This! - on the five handpumps, along with Lilley's Peach cider and Broadoak Premium perry.

One of a group of three really nice looking pubs, but the other two (Barrel and Duke) have been eviscerated while this one has been revived with a semi-traditional interior. And with five hand pumps, three with cask ale plus two ciders . There are two from Thornbridge, and I dithered between their Jaipur and the Landlord on the next door pull. I'm glad I went for the latter, as it was my best beer of the day, in a narrow victory over the Real Ale Corner and the Victoria (NBSS 4 - but only just). I think I've seen the lass serving before, but even if not she was very friendly and engaging, possibly helped by the fact that it was a quiet time of day. My previous visits here have been after dark, and it certainly looked a lot better with the curtains drawn back and a bit of late January sunshine lighting up the interior. Definitely one to include on a real ale Brampton Mile research trip.

A nice-looking pub with lots of dark woodwork and green walls inside. A light refurbishment has seen some comfy sofas added at one end and a dining area at the other. The 5 handpumps offer rotating beers, with TT Landlord as the regular and one dark beer always included, on this visit from the Empire Brewery. Late afternoon the place felt a bit empty but with a few people in it ought to be quite a good pub.

Recently reopened under temporary management that may, I was told, become permanent. Unfortunately no real ale when I was here last week, though there are two hand pumps and the manager is hoping to get Marstons EPA started fairly soon.
