The village green is just steps away – home to the famed Cockwood geese – and the nearby historic bridges built by Brunel are a sight to be seen. Thanks to its setting, The Anchor specialises in fresh seafood. Sample a huge range of delicious mussel and scallop dishes and generous seafood platters, fine meats, and vegetarian options. The unique charm of The Anchor sets it apart – be sure to visit and you’ll see why.
