Some of the furniture has clearly migrated from the previous site, so the new Anchored comes across as a kind of slightly bigger version of its predecessor, albeit with some outside seating on a low-traffic square near the seafront.

Anchored is an operation which adheres closely to the original micropub rulebook so you shouldn't be surprised to encounter a somewhat passive aggressive A-board near the door that is as keen to emphasise what it doesn't sell (tea/coffee, lager, keg stuff) as what it will (primarily ales and ciders from Sussex).

3 ales are dispensed from the cool room and the customer turnover was sufficiently brisk to get me a seat without too much of a delay.

With a larger floorspace, I found the new pub to be more impersonal than the old and, with just 3 ales on the go, rates as more of a pit stop than a destination in my estimation.
