The Blue Anchor, Brixham

After traipsing around all the back streets of Brixham, found ourselves back in the Quay looking for a decent fish supper and decent beer and took a chance on the Blue Anchor. Fortunately we were not disappointed. The Blue Anchor is a solid back street local type pub. Stone walled interior with a main area just to the right of the bar, which supports a dartboard and has bench seating for social drinking. And then a larger two sectioned tabled area to the right. It’s not plush, but rather well worn, but we found it to be welcoming to visitors, with friendly staff, decent food and very good beer. There were three handpumps but only two were going at the time of my visit and these were Dartmoor Best and Abbot. The pints of Dartmoor Best I had here were probably the best kept I had sampled during my hols. The food menu is good and supplement by a specials board. Couldn’t fault what we had for both quality and quantity and the fish pie was particularly good. Also noticed that most of the other people dining on the early evening we were in were locals rather than fellow tourists, which is usually a good sign. So all in all, a good experience at The Blue Anchor.
