Anchor 1774 in Tewkesbury

Dangerous pub. My brothers and I in our 40s, went to go for a drink. As it was close to closing time we were assailed by two young door men, who by default were preventing people from entering the pub. Their default position was to push customers, escalate, and use agressive language, and throw punches. It ended up in a fight between 3 elderly men, 2 young lads, and about 3 random bar staff. A genuinely horrible, and dangerous place. The door staff are immature, poorly trained, and unskilled in martial arts. I managed to bust a knee tying keep one of the door staff from kicking a 40 years old, father of two in the head. Do not attend if you want any semblance of a sensible and mature night. And to the door staff, you are ruining an otherwise wonderful town, for the sake of your ego and insecurities.

Love this place. Great drink offers. Lovely staff and customers. Great for sports esp. Football

Very clean great staff great prices better than weather spoons

Small pub having long history, opened in 1774. Good place if you would like to combine having a pint or few while wtching sports on screens. There is also a mini beer garden.

This is my local. I come here often for villa games and the more recent england 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 matches. Great service atmosphere and people. Great price for john smiths! Cheers

Lovely staff and friendly customers.

Local pub with a decent choice of booze 👌

Great staff and regular customers help create a friendly and welcoming environment. Sky sports on numerous screens. Pool table. Good location on the high street and close to the river, Abbey and local places of interest.

Didn't order food,lovely happy bar staff and pub busy 🤙🏽

Reasonable priced drinks friendly staff and sports on TV's.Really nice pub with pleasant atmosphere.A paved garden outside with benches to sit outside and and a beer or too.A lovely pub to visit.❤️❤️

Went there fishing for a few days and this was our local pub while we stayed there great staff good beer and lovely people.

Excellent pub, friendly staff and locals

Good local pub friendly and decent prices excellent Guinness

Great prices, decent outdoor covered area with tables, TV outside and plenty inside with sports on. Can't fault it.

Went in to watch the football, and it was busy, but there was plenty of space for seating. Didn't have food, so I couldn't comment. Great drinks.

Dog friendly and reasonable prices...

I love this place very friendly staff, nothing isn't to much trouble, always packed and good Atmosphere, weekends are always packed, specially if there is any kind of football on..they have BT Sport...3 big TV...pool table, outside space for people who smoke..love it.

Small pub mainly locals staff were really friendly

Nice local pub with atmosphere gonna be our local when down our van in tewksbury

Loved this pub, reasonably priced beer, and it has BT Sport. Went in to watch the Motogp, asked the landlady if we could watch it and she changed the channel for us. Great service, considering we were out of towners and not regulars. Would definitely go back in there if we visit the town again

Nice pub, good atmosphere. Would recommend

It is what it is.... don't go out the back!!

Good service and good for sports

Down to earth town pub but no food

Great for watching sport, good atmosphere

On a few occasions now we've had to leave as we couldn't get served. Over a 20 minute wait on one occasion! Great bands and atmosphere but just not enough unbiased bar staff that only want to serve regulars!!

A great pub and really good friendly staff. And a good pint of beer. Thank you. Alan

A nice place for drinks with friends and family in the High Street

My local, love everyone in there ❤

Friendly staff, very reasonable prices and good atmosphere

Great relaxed pub for sport - football, racing etc shown.

Excellent range of tv's for watching the rugby match on sky.

Lovely pub, lovely staff.very clean

Went here twice while on a fishing trip to Tewkesbury very friendly and helpful staff plus the beer was lovely

Crying laughing the the doorman / bouncers here on Friday night lol one looks like Barry from EastEnders and the other guy is that fat I think if it kicked off he wouldn't be able to punch his gut would be in the way how embarrassing lol ....

Great night. Good laugh. Great music. What more can you ask for 😊

Friendly staff, all live sports and good atmosphere! Good prices on the drinks too

I have been twice now I've recently moved to the town and they have a great choice of beers and have a doombar for £2.40p what a bargain! Ended up watching a bit of the fa Cup semi final and saw most the final yesterday. Emotions were high! Hope to see my team villa on the box next season. Cheers to the staff.

Good town centre sports bar, mostly rugby union.

Lively town centre sports, mostly rugby union, bar.

Great place. I stopped here for a pint when the football was on. Great atmosphere friendly people will definitely stop again.

Top sports bar .Inexpensive and friendly.Caters for everyone, dogs are welcome:Always a sign of decency....

Went there to watch the football ⚽️, great atmosphere and a good pint 👍 what more do you need,

A "proper pub" where the beer is good and cheap. There are tv's all around to watch sport.

Friendly and with good service, great place to spend time .

A real English experience still rolling since 1774.

Smashing place to be good prices good service and if you are hungry you can have a pizza or go next door and get some fish & chips all in all brilliant x

Loud and full of kids at weekend

Went to the Anchor as it was supposed to be a great place for steak, WRONG. Have never had a t-bone so thin and the wifes fillet was an end piece and fatty.

Great place for a cheap pint. They recently started a pizza for a fiver. Thought it was a great price for a good snack especially when your drunk. Sadly I saw them pull them out of the freezer. So it's a chef's larder pizza. It's a shame they have not looked at actually making there own. I know it costs more labour. But. There pizza was nice. What would a proper home made pizza be like ? That's the only reason for the drop of a star. Other than that. Lots of sports to watch. Happy bartenders and happy to help you with taxi numbers at the end of the night ! If you would like me to take photos I am your guy !

Flying visit to this pub last week omg what a fab night Connor the bar man was amazing can't wait to come back very very friendly pub

Good pub friendly locals and excellent prices. Best time to visit is Wednesdays for bingo

Friendly staff nice pint 😁😁 down to earth locals pub.

The anchor is a great pub to go to great atmosphere

Worked there's as a door staff great staff great atmosphere and great looking pub couldn't ask for better

Decent prices and doing their best with COVID

Lovely barman, very clean, track and trace was efficiently asked for etc, great social distancing rules 😀

Great pub, value for money , good barstaff.

Great owners, very warm welcome and all punters very friendly. The best pub for drinking in at Tewkesbury.

This is yet another great example of craft Union pubs

A great pub, and a very friendly welcome for my youngest son, our dog Dottie and me! The 3 of us had to have an overnight stay in the Travelodge Tewkesbury, and with us being Welsh, and the England v Wales 6 nations game on it's the law that we had to find a pub to watch the game, but because we had the dog i didn't know if any pub would take us, but the Anchor was the first pub we came across and we were warmly welcomed, with treats for the dog and loads of fusses for her. It was a great atmosphere for the game, and being Welsh there was banter of an adult kind, but it made for a great day, and we chatted to loads of people in the bar. Thanks for having us.

Dog friendly can get tea or coffee no food

Cold and unfriendly. and no food.

I Like the Nottingham Arms It's nice place.

Good clean pub great prices and good service

Landlady and staff are very friendly, decent prices

Very good. Tv showing sport good real ale. Clean and tidy good ervice

Plenty of atmosphere Popular drinking place

Proper pub, but a smile wouldn't hurt when ordering...

Cheap pints but filthy glasses. I had a free fly stuck to my pint class.

Lovely place friendly good service and a warm welcome

Great place to watch sport, with a decent pint

Brilliant Service,Nice and Friendly atmosphere

Esperé durante 10 minutos mientras el personal del bar prefería arreglar la bola de bonificación de lotería con un cliente habitual que servirme. Mucho deporte en la televisión y a juzgar por las 2 personas que estaban de pie junto a mí y apenas podían encadenar una frase o levantarse mientras se llenaban la cara con sándwiches de queso y cerveza parecida al pub de alcohólicos local de esta ciudad. Me fui

Cheap. Footy on. Loads of screens. Happy days 😀

Popped in here for a pint whilst visiting the area last week. Staff very chatty and pleasant. Locals were very pleasant. Beer was well priced, varied and tasty. Live footie being shown and lots of sports, a good pub. Would go back and next time take my take-away and eat iot there with a pint watching the footie.

Go there every Saturday night great atmosphere, goid food

Great pub friendly staff and people had a great night there

Nice enough place.lager smelt of rotten eggs though

Nice drink and a go on the fruities. Walked out £20 down but a good two hours of fun!

Nice sports bar /friendly /open fire

Friendly staff, very clean, dog friendly.

Lovely staff. Really nice place

very welcoming and pleasant staff

Open, inviting and friendly place. Sports for those who want it. Poolyable in the back. Good choice of drinks.

Surprisingly Tewkesbury seems lacking in decent pubs so the Anchor will not let you down if you are in search of a cheap no frills pint. You won't be getting table cloths or napkins, you might get a coaster if your lucky but at the prices they charge you can't really expect anything else. Just be aware it is cash only, no debit cards.

Warm, relaxing, brilliant bar staff, welcoming and always smiling

Stayed at the Tudor House hotel just 2minutes away.Usual hotel prices so it was nice to find the Anchor and enjoy cheap drinks,sky sports and the usual pub activities.

Enjoyed it in here. It got lively on a Saturday night... everyone having a good crack. The staff were happy to put sport on the tv in the background. Enjoyable bar!

Very friendly pub and reasonable prices

Nice pub for watching sky sports and good priced drinks

Great local pub to watch the football. Busy as one might expect for the world cup. Had some specials on for the drinks. Staff were great and beer was good.

Alwaysgood well decorated good prices polite staff

Very cheap it's the cheapest place in town to drink only take cash though

My drink got spiked last time I was here!

We were planning to eat here and watch the football, which shows Sky & BT Sport, but found out that there is sometimes a BBQ at lunchtime but nothing at night. You can take your own food in, but as the welcome is so good and the drinks so cheap, the food would be a great addition!!

Went there for a few drinks with family. Nice. Clean tidy pub. Emphasis on the sport side but with the Six Nations championship just starting no problem. We will be in again. Thanks to your staff pleade

Super pub on the main street very inexpensive a pint of John Smiths £1.80

Fabulous hosts warm and friendly,very good selection of drinks at very competitive prices....xxx

An email to management and the local paper to follow! Not only do the staff and bouncers think it's ok to leave females stood on the side of the road till 1am due to a ridiculous no re-entry rule that was not informed of, but the bar staff deem it acceptable when individuals steal drinks and therefore state nothing will be done about it! I will make it my mission that all service personnel based at Ashchurch do not ever frequent this establishment due to the way in which my wife and other soldiers wives were treated this evening!!
