The Anchor Pub & Kitchen

Head down to Diglis Road and you'll find The Anchor doing exactly what a good local should: serving honest pub food without faffing about. It's the kind of place where regulars know the staff and the atmosphere feels genuinely lived-in rather than designed. The kitchen takes things seriously enough to earn solid reviews, but not so seriously that you feel uncomfortable rolling in for just a pint and some chips. You're looking at proper proportions, reasonable prices, and a crowd that's there for the experience rather than the Instagram moment.
