A traditional country pub with a warm welcome, The Anchor Inn offers a fine selection of cask ales and fresh, home-cooked food. Set in the beautiful village of Nayland, open fires and a cosy atmosphere make the Anchor a wonderful winter bolthole, and the banks of the River Stour provide glorious al fresco dining throughout the summer months.

A fantastic & delicious lunch out with my book club. We all enjoyed a 3 course meal. Every single dish was incredible & so full of flavour. We were also lucky enough to enjoy the Christmas market whilst we were there too, which made our experience wonderfully festive & wholesome. We will be back again soon no doubt!

Pleasant venue, friendly attentive staff. We went on a Wednesday, but at 1pm, some of the dishes on the pick of the Day had already sold out, so to get full choice, so even at midweek, book your table earlier to get the full choice.
