The Anchor

You'll walk into The Anchor and immediately feel the warmth of a pub that actually gives a toss about its regulars. Gloucester Road's got no shortage of decent boozers, but this one's carved out something special: the kind of place where you can nurse a pint of craft ale without feeling like you're paying for someone's Instagram aesthetic. The staff know what they're talking about, the beer selection rotates constantly, and they've got a proper kitchen turning out elevated pub grub that won't leave you broke.
