Anchor Hotel in Horsham

What happened to this place? Barely any draught available what is there is disgustingly expensive, the food is just generic bland spoons knock offs at hugely inflated prices and nobody seems to want to be there. This used to be the best pub in town. Now it's terrible.

Was not happy with the service we received by one of the staff members who I did not get their name however she was short and had brown hair. We ordered through the app as it was understandably busy at the bar due to it being a Saturday night however when she brung the drinks over to us she moaned at us explaining have we aren’t allowed to order on the app as it isn’t convenient to the bar staff. Other than that we had a great drink there.

Awful, just terrible. We came for lunch only to find the kitchen was closed but we stopped for a drink anyway only to find the pub in a complete state. The male toilets were flooded and mouldy and the women's were closed completely. It feels grimey and uncared for. For the prices Greeneking are charging I'd expect at least a modicum of quality. There was none.

Poor service with food for my birthday . What was annoying is when customers are in after us and order and served and out the door and we still waiting! We were told that they were waiting for the mash at over 45 mins of waiting after my wife prompting twice I am an ex chef and i was mythed! . We Go to Horsham a lot and try all the food restaurants, Nice setting but felt i let down , I understand chefs get busy but we could of been told that 45 mins to hour wait at least would be nice .

Came early on Sunday for a lovely roast chicken and nut roast. Easily the best Sunday lunch we have had in Horsham, everything was well cooked and served on nice warm plates. could not a single thing on the plate. we will definitely be back for more! keep up the good work

Sunday lunch in the sun. sat in the garden and had two gorgeous roasts, everything was cooked perfectly and served piping hot. lovely to be able to sit outside.

What a Wonderful Sunday lunch 5 stars to the chef Paul , gravy delish x beef beautiful and roasts divine x Ty as always more than helpful x

Always have to stop off at the Anchor while in Horsham. Great food, great drink and friendly staff. Been coming for years and will continue to do so!

10/10 banging grub loved it !! Staff were super Big up the chef I love the high ceilings Great atmosphere best pub in England

Had a lovely quick Monday lunch snack, the bar man in the red shirt was lovely and very chatty. we ended up staying for coffee and desserts. we will be back

Visited with my Mum as the roasts here were highly recommended. Everybody was very friendly and there was a lovely atmosphere. The roast beef was incredibly tender and wonderful and everything felt fresh and cared for. i was also recommended a lovely red to have with my meal.

Lovely lunch spot. Very big pub with loads of places to sit and a garden. Staff were excellent and the bar selection is almost silly. Loved it

Another superb roast at the Anchor never fails to hit the spot. easily the best in town and there's a lot of competition. possibly the friendlies chef I've met as well, he personally came to check everything was ok. loved it

Best Pub in Horsham by far and a central meeting point for us and our mates for years now. great to see the same team whenever we come back for Christmas. really welcoming and friendly.

Been coming to the Anchor for years and its the best its been the whole time. Its always staffed up the selection is amazing. its a bit pricey but its also the biggest place in town and shows literally every sporting event so its well worth it. also the food is epic and never fails.

Really busy with an amazing atmosphere and really quick service. loads of staff on and they all seemed to be enjoying themselves! brilliant vibe.

Big after work group , loads of space excellent selection and really nice food. Just really accomidating. Perfect

quick bite whilst Christmas shopping. really nice burgers better than i've had elsewhere and a great beer selection. place is huge and can fill quite empty but it quickly filled up on a Thursday lunch time. great beers too

Popped in here as the other Greene king pub had closed for food. we are super glad we did. we had a mixture of the sharing plates and a Turkey dinner, everything was gorgeous and looked great! it is a little bit more expensive that the other pubs but it is well worth it with a huge variety on the bar. the staff and even the chef came to say hello with a treat for our dogs. perfect service.

After work dinner and drinks, we were a table of 8 who were well looked after served quickly and with a smile. food was superb and really quick! great atmosphere after the Christmas lights turn on in town.

Stopped at the Anchor Hotel for lunch while doing Xmas shopping with my partner. We both had the turkey dinner, which was absolutely fantastic, moist turkey with all the trimmings and at a great price. Great selection of beers and ales and happy efficient staff.would recommended

Amazing breakfast, really fresh a huge! obviously all cooked to order as everything tasted perfect. definitely be back.

In for the Manchester Derby on a Sunday after, place was busy but service was quick and the beer was sound. Had a roast beef and it was better than i have had anywhere in a long while. proper good pub this

Down south for a bit of work and recommended this venue, glad i went as it was exactly what i wanted, staff were friendly and helpful, there were loads of options and everything was avalible . class

Good variety of not soft and alcoholic drinks. As well as a good variety of sport Tom makes a good drink

Great place for drinks and food, reasonably priced for Horsham. Excellent to watch football and all sports on the big screen. Staff always super friendly and helpful, especially if going solo to a pub.

Sat in the suntrap garden for a quick lunch. Food was lovely and a really interesting selection. Staff were friendly and even went out of their way to make my dog comfortable.

came in for breakfast on a Saturday. shocked at just how good it was for the money. breakfast was double the size you'd get anywhere else and it was obviously cooked fresh! 12/10 effort and well worth starting your day here

Visited Monday about 6:30. Had a quick bite to eat the food was great had the steak. Menu was limited but staff did say it was after a more busy then expected weekend and delivery was next day but I am glad I choose the...

Popped into the Anchor for a pre lunch drink on a Sunday afternoon. we pretty quickly decided to stay for a roast as watching them arriving at our neighbours table had us salivating. We made the correct choice! the roast beef was perfectly cooked, the...

We love the Anchor for a few drinks in an unpretentious friendly atmosphere but didn’t realise they did breakfast. On our way home from a lovely walk up Denne hill we were going to pick up a coffee nearby and walked past seeing the Anchor...

Typical Greene King. Large pub/hotel, enclosed patio garden to the rear. Usual range of ales and menu offering reasonable priced food.

Sat in the little garden and had some lovely small plates between the 3 of us. I was surprised just how good the food was as we were just expecting pub grub. Even more surprising was to find that we had turned up during happy...

Mango cider and amazing burgers, basically the perfect lunch. sat outside in the little bit of sun that was available and lost an entire Sunday afternoon. it was brilliant. you can order on an app so you don't even have to move. footballs always on...

Excellent service in a warm and friendly pub. Great range of beer. Clean and tidy. Staff polite and welcoming.

Out for alazy lunch over the Bank Holiday weekend whilst visiting family in Horsham. We stumbled on this cavanous yet comfy pub with a bar a mile long, loads of choices , more pumps than I could count (only to then find more upstairs) beer...

I had a lovely steak with some friends. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend!

Delicious steak and great selection of beers. The staff are very friendly and attentive it’s well worth a visit yum yum yum

Yet again being a Horsham local and neighbour to your establishment I’m super upset and disappointed to go to the Anchor Hotel for lunch only to be told by one of your member of staff across the bar saying I wasn’t welcome because I addressed...

On our last two visits to Horsham from Crawley we have visited the Anchor and been very disappointed. The first time we were turned away at the door because there was apparently " no space" however, this didn't seem to apply to the large group...

I don't really have much to say... maybe it's just bad luck! but the last two occasion on visiting this establishment its been pretty awful, the first time we encountered a rather abrupt door person, not even sure what the issue was to be honest...

Visited late afternoon after local shopping trip. Only two bar staff serving and it took 10-15 minutes to be served (maybe due to the bank holiday the following day and there being severa large groups crowding the bar area).

Really nice roast and drinks at reasonable prices. Nice and chilled atmosphere. Abbie is fabulous and always takes care of us everytime we visit :)

My friend and I went in, we decided to get a light bite and a drink. We found out most of the food on menu wasn’t available. I had a rum and coke, was ok at first but then basically tasted just like ice water....

Absolutely lovely venue with lovely service ! Staff were fantastic, food was very nice ! Would definitely recommend

I have been here a few times with business over the last few years and thought I would finally leave a review. Quite simple really - super comfy, warm and friendly pub with good honest food. The two barmaids are as attentive as they are...

I visited the anchor on a hot Wednesday evening in July. Myself with a couple of friends decided to visit the anchor as we had previously visited the establishment and had a great experience based on the good choice of beers and great snacks selection....

Not a great experience to say the least! Overcharged for drinks that were half full! The staff in this pub are so rude and not very welcoming at all! The manager josh especially! Would not recommend!

Came in here with the family last week, food was delicious and hearty. Wife had the fish and chips, couldn’t get enough! I had the steak and ale pie with mash of course. Kids had chicken nuggets and chips, loved it. Very friendly staff, with...

A big pub with lots of screens and all of the sports. They have a huge selection on the bar and were happy to explain the choices on offer. As it was Sunday i had my favourite roast dinner of Lamb it was perfectly cooked...

To be fair, I don’t know whether this pub was good or not. We went in for food and drinks, found a table and sat down. We went to the bar to get the drinks and 10 minutes later came back empty handed. Granted it...

I was so excited that they agreed to book me a table so I could watch my team play on sky. I arrived early to get food so I could enjoy the game. Gave them my name and was told they were not playing the...

Highly recommend the brunch here! Top service out front as usual but also shout out to Paul, the chef, for getting my steak and eggs just right! 👌🏼

We went for breakfast at The Anchor recently whilst in Horsham for a family christening. The Beefeater at our premier inn hotel was closed for refurbishment, so it was an ideal local spot for breakfast on both the Saturday and Sunday, to cater for a...

My husband, children and a friend had the best food outside in the sunshine early evening, new menu is an absolute hit! First time out since lockdown and we will definitely be going back, felt like we were on holiday sat out in the square...

Sunday dinner - 10/10. Staff - 10/10. Home away from home 10/10. The Anchor has been my local for 5 years, and a real treat.

Greeted by a happy gentleman who asked us to check in and quickly showed us to our table, politely asked if we can try ordering off the app first for speed of service which we did we ease. Nice spacious pub two friendly gents working...

Lovely lunch with my husband,sitting in the garden ,in the sun!I had sweet potato and red pepper kofta cups which were delicious & I'm not vegetarian or vegan.My husband enjoyed his chicken wings and we shared lovely spicy fried halloumi.Very tasty and not too heavy...

Stopped for lunch today at one of my favourite pubs in Horsham. Staff make you feel incredibly welcome, feels really safe too re Covid procedures. Always a great selection of beers and the food from the new menu is outstanding. Service as always is friendly and welcoming. Great to be back!

Pre lockdown and tierings the Anchor Hotel was simply another pub in Horsham for me and not one I would necessarily arrange to go to.After the first lockdown (inspired by their quirky window slogans when shut) myself and a couple of others went. Brilliant. They nailed it. Quick, simple service. A drink within minutes of sitting down. Maximised the space they have. No faff, staff encouraged adherence to whatever rules were in place leading by example.They got a lot of the basics right, with a genuine smile too, and in doing so kept the pub atmosphere. It has (to me and others) felt safe throughout.My perception of the place has changed a lot, and for the better.

Lovely pub with friendly staff would highly recommend. Food was lovely and Graham was a really great host

In the current climate this place has it spot on staff are courteous and explain everything upon arrival, my wife and I felt very safe sat in the window enjoying the festive feel they have, which brings some much needed cheer to what must be a very difficult time for all here. Abigail was so attentive to both our needs our entire visit. We will be back before the years out

A group of four for Lunch.Post lockdown many venues are struggling to get back their customer base and the rules and regulations have made things less than easy for many to find somewhere to relax.We settled down and ordered our food but one of our party was a little dismayed to find the chosen item was a starter. When a request was made for the 'starter to be served with the mains. The reassurance was "all the food is served at once". Now I know the covid regulations are quite strict but to have all parts of the meal served at the same time to a table barely large enough for the four diners to limit possible staff exposure? The reality of four persons mains and starters being served was a little unnerving.The drinks order was confused with a fresh orange juice being served in place of Cranberry juice this was due to 'the bar staff serving more orange juice than cranberry and the juices are listed by just three letters a very lame excuse ORA is very different to CRA. A little more attention and a little less chatter between staff would assist in getting it right without waste. Or perhaps a clearer font so ORA and CRA are easier to differentiateMy order was for bangers and mash simple enough but the wall-paper paste masquerading as mashed potato had develped a thick 'skin'was all but welded to the plate. Really?I know that many places serve up meals in advance but it was very clear that the mash and plate had been in close proximity under an 'infra red' for somewhat longer then the 20 minutes it took to prepare the rest of the order. I might postulate that it may have been 'warming' for up to an hour.As the shared meal was only a snack it was a shame that so many little errors spoiled the presentation and enjoyment. The company at the table was a delight but the venue let itself down by poor attention to detail.Could try harder is my assessment. I may be back for a return visit at a later date and as a mystery shopper to see if any lesson has been learned.

Fantastic team, enjoyable food what an amazing ambiance this place has considering it’s size!! We will return very soon 😊

Great pub, great atmosphere, friendly staff. Came here on a busy Saturday afternoon with friends. All staff friendly and helpful. Great COVID precautions with their “pub safe” monitor who was cleaning tables and making sure everywhere was clean.

Staff very attentive, professional and excellent customer service delivery working under covid restrictions. All the team very cohesively led by the duty manager “Matt” working tirelessly to ensure customer satisfaction. Well done to all tonight, busy establishment with well orchestrated and coordinated work ethos keeping high standards under pressure. Keep up this standard guys!!! GreaT job to all, excellent night ! Thank you.

Their customer service is terrible and their manager is very rude. Their food usually comes out cold and staff very unapologetic and don’t seem to care. Prices are high in comparison for what you get. Overall, would definitely not recommend and needs to be shut down!

Came in a couple weeks ago. Had a lovely time with the family. Me and my wife had the salt beef burger and the kids shared a Mac and cheese. Food was great quality and staff were friendly and polite. One thing I did notice one of the young girls(blonde?) was constantly on her phone, not paying attention and I find that unprofessional. Apart from that very happy with our visit and will be back. Sean

Visited with my boyfriend and a friend for birthday drinks. The staff were friendly and the pub has been set up well for covid

We went to The Anchour for dinner and honestly had some of the best chicken wings I have had for a long time ! The staff were all very helpful and understanding of the new systems in place due to the pandemic , making the whole experience stress free , and delicious !

So impressed with how clean everywhere is,staff were very polite and friendly. All round brilliant experience & will definitely be returning soon.

Me and my husband had a lovely lunch, very friendly staff and great safety measures with Coronavirus issues. Food was excellent as always. Thanks!

Had a Philly steak sandwich and a tuna melt with a Latino fries side. food was really good. great selection of beer also. service good also

We visited after a meal their was no waiting time but the place was very busy and noisy, clearly enjoyed by the youngsters but not a place for the older person.

Great pub in Horsham with varied drinks menu and good choices for food. Always busy and shows a lot of football with big screen upstairs. But what is going on with the toilets ... The women's have seats that move or are cracked the locks are hanging off and the taps spin when pressed you'll be lucky to find loo roll any time of the day the men's often stink and at 2pm in the afternoon the floors so wet you can slide please do something to fix all this as such a shame for an otherwise great place

Looks and smells like a Wetherspoons with London prices on beer. Pint glass not filled up to the top cheers guys. Toilets horrendously dirty and stink. I hate leaving bad reviews and I know people are trying to do their best but it’s never going to improve otherwise

Went to watch the rugby final, was great atmosphere and the staff were amazing..the breakfast was good aswell

very good service guy called Matt served us. I was struggling to find the drink I wanted but he found it after spending a good deal of time with me. Very good atmosphere will be coming back again

Visited today whilst shopping in town when it started to rain and needed somewhere to hide!Very busy in the pub however only 2 staff members seemed to be handling the situation perfectly. Quick service and honest wait times given on my food order which was appreciated.Food was great considering how busy it was and will 100% be returning. Service would have been quicker if there were more staff available but it wasn't an issue for me as I had nowhere to be!

My sister and I popped in for a quick bite to eat on our lunch break, we were pleasantly surprised by the really lovely food. We had some small grazer style dishes which were hot, plentiful and well presented. The staff were also polite and attentive. My only criticism would be that the pub smelled like a hangover, could probably do with a bit of a freshen up but otherwise good

Visiting eldest daughter who at last minute had to work. She recommended Horsham and we had a few very enjoyable hours wandering around including a visit to the Anchor Hotel for a pint and a burger. Had a pint of Badger beer which was very enjoyable and washed down the burger beautifully. Bar staff was an Australian from Brisbane, she was very friendly sharing the highlights of her home and enjoying our memories of "down under" which turned out to be everywhere but Brisbane.

Had lunch here today and was really pleased with the friendly efficient service. The food we ordered came quickly and was piping hot and tasty. The Harvey’s beer was also excellent.

I enjoyed a few beverages with some friends here on a Friday evening before heading off to the Red Deer for dinner. There was a nice and lively atmosphere here and it is far superior to most other Greene King pubs i've visited. The drinks selection was very good and I was pleased to see they had Beavertown Neck Oil on the tap (superb beer).

Won’t miss much about Horsham but Matt and his team have been fabulous hosts everytime I’ve visited living in Horsham the past couple years. Will miss the baked sweet potato and great range of drinks. Bye Anchor!!

Been here lots, always good pub grub, flexibility with food requests if you're awkward like I am with food and one of the best selections of gin I've ever seen with accompanying offers. The staff are always friendly and accommodating and particularly with events and parties. The outside area needs a bit of a makeover however, it could be a lot nicer out back hence the 4/5 stars.

Until recently I'd only ever been in the Anchor to watch sports, but yesterday a group of us went in for lunch and I have to say that it was truly the best burger I've ever had and at a really good price too (I took advantage of the pint of IPA with a burger offer). Service was excellent too... Highly recommended.

Always on our circuit when we're out and about. Welcoming staff, dog friendly, great selection of beers/spirits and the monthly live music showcase is fantastic.

Friendly, vibrant and very well run. Great food with great service. The guy in charge (Matt???) never stopped behind the bar, serving food, clearing up, generally looking after everyone. And, all with a smile and witty repertoire! We all had a lovely evening.

Absolute favourite place to go, the staff are always fantastic, brilliant customer service, they're all so welcoming (especially one of the management, Matt)! Would definitely recommend, always good food, quick service and a great vibe 👍🏼

Matt always provides excellent service, always cheerful and fun. Love eating and drinking here as atmosphere is so friendly. 😀
