Old Boots left this review about The Anchor

A long thin one room pub just down a side street from the main drag but very visible from it. One end has a games room with pool table, the centre houses the servery and towards the back is seating and an outdoor drinking area with picnic tables. Five pulls with a range of three local beers and two ciders, plus a couple of T-Bars of fairly usual stuff. Quality of my Thornbridge was middling. As with many pubs a lot of interest is in the little details often missed, you always have to look beyond the obvious for the little items and features that may have a story. It’s got the banquette seating and cast iron based tables of old pubs but there’s a lot of sad modernisation has gone on, pace tall seating and big screens.

Real Ale Ray left this review about The Anchor

An attractive looking pub with a good sized interior. The bar area faces you as you enter, with a tongue and groove painted bar front in a bluey green colour, which matched all the painted walls in this area. The rear part of this long room had a more traditional feel with brown buttoned back leatherette banquette seating.
The pub was surprisingly quiet for a Friday Eve. The young barmaids were arranging what looked like a birthday party, so hopefully the place will be rammed later on.
Five handpumps serving two ciders and three cask beers, Abbeydale IPA, Thornbridge Melba and Stancill Stainless. The Stancill was in good shape and the pub was comfortable.

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.
