Picture of The Anchor

The Anchor is a handsome old place, it could be a poster pub for travel guides and brochures - it's what everyone imagines a traditional British pub to look like. And the interior doesn't disappoint either, a dark and cosy place, with a long wooden bar, lots of oak beams (some reputedly from the nearby abbey), wooden floors and a log fire. The beer is excellent - Shepherd Neame ales aren't exactly uncommon in the south east and the familiar names - Master Brew, Spitfire etc are all on the hand pumps, but it's worth the journey to sample them here. The beers don't have to travel far - the brewery is only a short distance away, but they are very well kept here and there are often special ales you don't get in other Shepherd Neame pubs. If you're hungry, there's a restaurant, which we haven't yet tried, serving mix of traditional and Mediterranean-influenced food. There's also regular live music, WiFi and a very large beer garden for those brighter, warmer days. Top marks to the landlord - the Anchor's an excellent local.
