Set on the banks of the River Colne just 3 miles from the centre of Colchester, The Anchor is the ideal place to unwind. The Anchor combines the best traditions of an English Public House with a relaxed, informal restaurant, enjoying stunning views over the river.
Remember when pubs had a public bar? The Anchor takes great pride in upholding that old tradition, maintaining a traditional bar, separate from the restaurant.
Here you’ll find a warm, informal and friendly atmosphere where you can soak up the warmth of the open fire, join in the conversation at the bar or relive competitive spirits of old with classic pub games.
You’ll also find the finest ales from Shepherd Neame, Britain’s oldest brewer, and an extensive range of wines, spirits and soft drinks to suit every taste.So whether it's just dropping in for a drink and joining in the conversation at the bar, lunch outside on the riverside terrace or dinner in the conservatory restaurant, we look forward to seeing you.
