About this restaurant

Charming
Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions

**MOTHERS DAY 2025 - PLEASE CALL TO BOOK ON 01245 222457**
The Anchor in Danbury is the epitome of an English Country Inn, boasting beautiful traditional beams, quaint shining brass and a warm welcoming atmosphere which has made this pub a firm favourite for many years.
We have a lovely large garden with a fun children's play area, great for keeping the kids entertained while you catch up with friends and family over a relaxing drink or with some great food.
- Four legged friends are welcome at the pub, please ask our friendly staff for confirmation on which areas can accommodate you as we do require that dogs are kept out of the main dinning areas.
- Please note reservations with a dog are necessary, and can only be taken over the phone on 01245 222457 stating you have a dog.
- If you have a pushchair/buggy we ask that you call to make reservation, due to limited space.

First time to the Anchor and one to certainly repeat. The meal was superb, it was hot and very nicely presented, unlike a lot of restaurants today who pile the food on the plate. All the staff without exception were pleasant, kind and very efficient. Thank you.

Excellent food and service. A little noisy in the "garden" room but to be expected at a busy time. Overall, an extremely welcome experience.
