The Anchor Inn in Northumberland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Manage to get a last minute booking here for Sundays dinner, the Sunday dinners were fantastic and suited my small children too. The portions were huge, they were very helpful the staff and so friendly to me and my family. They gave my small dog a water bowl too some treats. I would come here again if I came back to wooler.

Lovely local pub with great beer and service. The food was very good value and you got a lot for your money. Highly recommend

When for Sunday dinner with young children. No kids menu and no veggie option. We ordered 2 small dinners 1 normal and 1 without meat, only to be told it was the same price as on with meat??? So I ended up with chicken that the dog had when we got back home, along with the beef.Selection of watery veg and boiled potatoes, no mash and topped off with aunt bessies Yorkshire puds. I can’t comment on any other food as they only did Sunday dinners, not the best and wouldn’t come back for food here again. We went and got pizzas on the way home as we were all still hungry . Staff were nice, hence the 2 stars

When we arrived we were greeted by a very cheerful barman and made to feel very welcome. The evening continued to be a lovely experience bar staff owners and locals made us feel very welcome. We had dinner my husband had the biggest fish I have seen chips and mushy peas. I am a vegetarian and chef made a lovely vegetable pie, salad and chips for me. The chips were to die for. A great experience and food was fantastic no complaints will definitely be back.

Masssssive portions of food. Excellent value for money and I can't believe I'm saying this, "make portions a tad smaller yo save on waste, they will still be larger than normal" staff friendly and good atmosphere.

Ordered a Chinese for 7pm told to pick it up at that time, waited 40 minutes for my spring rolls to be forgotten about, chips weren’t chips they were half potato skins, the rice was sticky and tasted like nothing, onions not cooked at all in the chow mein, £44 wouldn’t recommend

Best pub for miles around. Mega friendly team. Great atmosphere each time we went. Food exceptional value for money, either Sunday lunch or 'pub grub' during the week. These guys have the priorities exactly right to keep you coming back. Great range of beers and drinks at the best prices in Wooler. Warm, comfortable and friendly. Keep on doing what your doing fellas.

We came to the Anchor on New Years Day. We were told in advance that on that day they were only doing a roast dinner. The staff were really friendly and when the dinner came, it was enormous We had several roasties each and 4 slices of pork, (there was a choice of meats). When the veg came, it was, all freshly made, new potatoes, carrots, swede, peas, broccoli and red cabbage plus proper gravy. We discussed the price while we ate because we hadn't asked how much it was. Imagine our surprise when we came to pay and the dinners were only £9.45 per person. We tried to go back the day after but they were having a well earned rest. Next time we are in Wooler, we will definitely be back.

Have to say that I was a bit reluctant to go in as I knew they didn’t serve real ale. However, a group of 5 of us ventured in on New Years Day around 4pm after a long walk up to Humbleton Hill. We entered a very warm and welcoming place, with a buzzing atmosphere. I was pleased to see they had Sam Smiths Sovereign ale on draught which was very good. Made up for the lack of real ale. The prices were good too. Dogs very welcome and a friendly landlord. Didn’t try the food but will try next time if ever in the area.

Great pub exceptional food the rooms are clean fresh and cosy. Chris and Jeff do a great job running the place loads of nice friendly locals I can't fault the place

The Anchor is the best bar in Wooler by far. Very welcoming and great atmosphere. The food is great quality, big portions and value for money. The Sunday lunches are amazing! Best to book as it’s very busy. The Chinese night on a Saturday is also good. They do takeaways too. Quiz night on a Thursday and bingo on a Saturday. We went to the Halloween party which was a good laugh. The bar staff and locals are very friendly. Can’t wait for our next visit!

We were staying in Wooler and called the Anchor on our last night. The food was outstanding ! We had the hunters chicken, scampi and ribs. The food was plentiful and left us stuffed. The pub has a limited menu but our meals were great and filling. Thank You 😊

Eight of us ladies stayed at the house next door to this top notch pub for a weekend. The pubs owner and staff are very welcoming. The atmosphere is great, and the drinks are extremely reasonably priced. Nothing is too much bother for this owner and his team of staff. We all took advantage of the offer to book for breakfast bith mornings. We arrived at pur preferred time to a massive well cooked and tasty breakfast, served with unlimited tea coffee and toast. The price was amazing for the amount you were given. In fact we asked for smaller portions for the second morning as there was so much waste. We would also definitely recommend joining in the Saturday bingo session it was a good laugh, even if we didn't win. The pub also offers a Chinese night on a Saturday where you can order from a varied menu and state your time for either take away, or eat in. Be aware the Chinese meals are like the pub ones the portions are huge. One between two is ample. We decided to collect our food from the Anchor, and eat it next door in our accommodation. The food was presented well, still hot and delicious. We will be booking the same accommodation next year and will certainly be returning to the Anchor Inn to sample more of Chris's and his teams excellent hospitality. Thank you from Sue and the ladies.

Staying in the area on holiday. Called in to the Anchor Inn on the off chance for lunch. When I walked in there was a member of staff standing counter side and an other behind the bar. No one attempted to speak to me do I nicely asked if they had a table for 2 free for lunch. The young lad counter side just looked at me then asked the older lady behind the bar if they had a table. She just shook her head vigorously without looking in my direction. Neither of the staff members actually spoke a word to me. Now I realise they were probably busy but a bit of common courtesy would have been appreciated! What a way to treat a would be customer!

Warm welcome and very reasonably priced drinks. We went with friends and partook in their fantastic Christmas quiz held in August! Was a fun packed night which we thoroughly enjoyed. We will be back!

We went for in for a drink and saw the food coming out to others and decided to try it. We had a burger and chips - the best home made burger ever! Also a lasagne which was traditional home made food with a simple fresh salad. Delicious! Who needs anything more! We stayed for the Thursday night quiz and bingo.( class quiz!) What a friendly pub with tasty food and a warm welcome. Well recommended.

We visited the anchor for a Chinese meal. It was excellent and very reasonable. The staff were very friendly and welcoming thank you x

Enjoyed a great Sunday lunch, you can choose small or regular large portions of meat & veg, service excellent

Was in here last Sunday and was very impressed with their Sunday lunch which was delicious. Also the staff were very friendly and helpful so I highly recommend this place.

Just out for a few pints in Wooler - this place looked decent but was quite unwelcoming and very few people inside. A bit of a shame as it was quite a nice place. No real ales - just in bottles which is pretty poor these days. Would not go back. Black Bull is much better

I’ve got to say that the Sunday lunch is great value, loads of meat and 2 Yorkshire puds! Only thing that let it down was that some of the veg was a bit over cooked for my taste and some of cauliflower had black marks...

This was the first time we had visited Wooler and just wanted to check the pub out. What a find! Great beer, good well-priced food and a really friendly atmosphere. Definitely will return, a local that welcomes visitors.

Just over the road from the coop and round the corner from our holiday cottage, Chris has made this place the best pub in the village, so friendly, buzzing with nice people and great food. Very accommodating and couldn't do enough for us!!

Was recommended this place for Sunday lunch. We had to change plans to later on Sunday so had the later menu.2 of us still had beef roast dinner (size of the beef wow) came with loads of veg on another plate. Beef melted in mouth.Few had burgers (massive)Grandad had sausage and chips. He says was the best sausage he has ever had! The owner was lovely bloke and could have a laugh with him.If we are ever up that way again will definitely be back

Friendly staff. Good COVID procedures. Lovely Sunday lunch, two sizes large and small! Meat, roast pots and Yorkshire puddings come plated, vegetables and gravy separate. Plenty of gravy and veg (potatoes, swede,carrots, red cabbage, broccoli, pease). Great value for money. Puddings looked good but couldn’t fit one in. Would definitely recommend.

Visited for an early evening meal. Enjoyable vegetable chilli and rice at a good price. Comfortable traditional pub with good local ales. Dogs welcome.

Lovely fresh cooked pub food - large portions - dog friendly, just what we needed at the end of a busy day out

Very reasonably priced drinks with good selection of gins. We ordered 2 meals and the potions were huge. Freshly cooked vegetables and although currently a limited menu the food was lovely.

Amazing food, really friendly chef and bar owner. The menu looks simple, but the food that comes out is superb, particularly the burger and the pie. Bar guy is fab and friendly and the gin selection is almost endless. Just of there if you are in Wooler.

This pub is quite basic but very friendly. Menu was very limited and the food was not wonderful . The online menu did not exist and the prices were much higher than shown there. However we enjoyed the company of people from the nearby caravan site.

Spent a few evenings in the Anchor this week (should have been n a Greek island but restrictions around a pandemic stopped that). Great host in Chris who was everything you’d want in a pub land lord (friendly, speedy with the drinks even when only table service allowed, and knowledgeable about the area). Chatted to several ‘locals’from the nearby Riverside caravan site who were all fab

On holiday in wooler this is the first pub on the way did not disappoint. Great pint and service and ordered a cheese burger and a lasagne with chips and salad. Portions where great freshly cooked would not hesitate to go again

Absolutely love the Anchor! Only pub we go to when we visit Wooler. On entry you are asked to check in using the NHS app and masks must be worn until your in your seat and if you leave your table. Really good strict protocol in place. The staff are amazing, there’s a great atmosphere with the locals and a vast choice of reasonably priced drinks. The food is all homemade and absolutely delicious! Definitely recommend the burger night on a Wednesday and the Sunday lunch! Can’t wait for our next visit

We did our research before we stayed in Wooler and had heard about the Anchor and it did not disappoint. The Staff are very friendly and it is very Covid Friendly.The Food is excellent you would be lucky to get a better Sunday roast.Strongly recommended.

Visited The Anchor this week whilst on holiday in Wooler, was not disappointed. The owner is friendly and welcoming despite obvious difficulties arising from the Covid pandemic. We ordered baguettes with chips which were amazing and fantastic value for money. Plenty of filling, lovely home make chunky chips and a delicious side salad. The pub is kept extremely clean but still allows dogs which was a must for us. Our little terrier was even given a chew stick and own bowl of water for the table. A great visit and would highly recommend.

We were welcomed at the door and made to feel at home for our entire meal. Good choice of drinks and very acceptable pub grub menu. Will always go back again should we be in the area.

Went for a few beers and food , spot on. very friendly staff. First time in the area definitely going back . The pub is dog friendly . We were there for quiz night on Thursday not many in but it was still good fun.

I have nothing but good things to say about this pub, excellent friendly staff, We stayed at a caravan site near by & went in this pub every night, tried the others but loved this one. The staff made us feel welcome every night especially Chris who gave my dog a treat every night, great atmosphere too with low music in the background, the food was absolutely gorgeous too. A big thanks to all the staff & keep up the good work, best wishes from Julie, Jean & Mollie the border collie xxx

First time away in caravan since lockdown food amazing great price £7,25 for a large Sunday lunch. Great atmosphere. Would not hesitate to come back .and the staff very helpful. Well done.keep up the good work

Stayed at riverside and ate/drank here a few times during our stay. Sunday lunch and burger night (Wednesday) are amazing! All lovely home made food. Great atmosphere and clean environment. All social distancing requirements in place. Lovely beer garden also. Great variety of drinks available. Can’t wait to be able to go back

Wow, braved the pub for the first time after lockdown and was delighted with the staff and the implementations put in place. Well done anchor definitely feel safe.

beautiful sunday dinners hugeee portions really nice food sooo nice we went back wile staying up in wooler would defo come back and recommend

Good Sunday Dinner, generous portions, plenty of gravy, loads of well cooked vegetables. Roast Beef was excellent Good report on Pork & chicken too

We visited the Anchor Inn on the 24th October on the recommendation of the lady in a local bakery shop. The staff were very friendly as were the other customers in the bar. The food was excellent for the price we paid and there was ample quantities of it. My wife had scamp and I had the pork ribs. Thoroughly recommend the Anchor Inn for a visit.

We took family there and everyone was well pleased with the food. Too much veg! Very atmospheric and comfortable.

Always go here for sunday carvery when on hols in wooler .....go there hungry or you will stuggle to finish it...top tip ,pre book or get there for 11.45 to grab spare tables

We just had a dinner there, staff were very friendly but the place were a bit dirty. Lovely people and good food

We ate here one evening while staying in Wooler. It has a much nicer atmosphere than the other locals. Nice food but far too much of it!

We where at riverside holiday park food wasn’t good on site so we looked for places nearby this was a great pub Family of 12 ate here at short notice last week food was of a very high standard the staff were so welcoming great atmosphere i had the beef and gravy sandwich the beef just melted everyone enjoyed their food all at a very reasonable price We would have ate here more times but kids entertainment started at 6-30 at riverside and anchor food didn’t start till 6pm definitely a warm friendly pub for drinks food great chef

I was really impressed by this establishment a really warm welcome And the food was out of this world We where down as a large family from Edinburgh visiting the riverside complex and went in for a family meal they where very big portions and the ingredients where excellent I can highly recommend the ribs the meat just fell of the bone And the roast beef is proper roast beef Excellent value for money Will Defo be back

Popped into this bar twice on our visit to Wooler, a lively bar with lots going on and a great place to spend some time in and have a laugh

Bar staff friendly food good and reasonably priced Beer good Very busy at weekends No meals cooked on Sunday night

3 of us visited today for Sunday lunch and it turned out to be Sunday lunch with a twist ....the chicken and the Gammon were boiled and not really cooked at all , but the veg definitely was cooked , I would say at least 3 hours on the boil. Everything was warm at the most and they are mean with the Yorkshire and roasters , to be avoided.

Superb friendly staff. Very good value for excellent quality of beer and food served. No problem with doggy bag provision. Highly recommended.

We've had several meals here recently and can't fault the usual blackboard menu meals. Scampi, omelette, spare ribs etc all very nice, large portions and very reasonable. They do kids portions as well - they're as big as some pubs adult meals!

Very accommodating for our party of 21 for Sunday lunch (booked well in advance) dinners are lovely and fresh, few adults went for large but there was no need, regular size is plentiful, the Yorkshire’s were all slightly burnt so the kids weren’t happy about that and gravy was a bit watery but still lovely and very reasonably priced.

Weve been here for a few Sunday Lunches and you won't find anywhere better....it pays to book a table....we are always made to feel very welcome...we were there yesterday and the meal was beautiful everything fresh and plenty of it cooked to perfection...good portion sizes and an abundance of vegetables and if you cant manage to finish it all as my elderly aunt did they kindly provided a container to take it home...i would definitely recommend it and the prices are very reasonable

This is a very friendly pub. The atmosphere is lively and the food is excellent.In my opinion,it’s also the cheapest! You can be sure of a warm welcome and good company and the choice of drinks is also very good. Try the Anchor,I’m sure you will go back again.

Called in for bar meal and a quick drink. We had the Hot Beef sandwich with chips and gravy.

We visited this pub a couple of times during our weekend stay. It was always full of locals who were very friendly and welcoming - the place had a really nice atmosphere.

Went in on a Friday evening and the room at the side wasn't too busy so we got a quiet seat in front of the fire. Beer was excellent and staff all friendly ... well, this is Northumberland after all! However, Saturday night was a bit different as it was bingo night and we could hardly get in the door. We're not bingo fans but this certainly is a very popular pub!

Staff friendly and Sunday lunch seemed good value. Unfortunately although the meat was tender, it had very little taste. We had the large Sunday lunch which came with a second Yorkshire pudding, which was partly burnt! Everything needed plenty of salt to give it taste, except the swede. We checked on here for reviews and were also recommended here by somewhere where we were staying. Wouldn’t visit again

Hubbie and I had a few drinks here on a recent weekend stay in Wooler. We really loved it, everyone was so friendly and welcoming (even with our noisy little dog!). This was by far our favourite bar in Wooler, in fact we actually wished we lived closer so we could make this place a regular haunt!

Choice of 4 meats and either small or large dinner with roast potatoes and homemade Yorkshire pudding.

We were visiting the area from Galashiels, looked at places to eat in Wooler the anchor Inn caught my eye, it looked great, was open till 12am, we arrived and it was closed!! Maybe you should update your website!!

Visited Wooler for my partners birthday and visited all 3 of the pubs in the village, can honestly say the Anchor charged the lowest prices for their beer & spirits ( Draught beer, Gin & Vodka with mixers) were a lot cheaper per round.

Where to start about this place amazing in every way, great bar range and decent prices. The Sunday lunch was the best EVER !!!! All fresh made local produce and pictures on Facebook don't do it justice a must have for Sunday lunch

Fantastic service nothing is too much. Very friendly and helpful staff. Food is lovely we will be back

Six of us booked for lunch today.

We visit here regularly now after eating once as we found it to be very nice indeed. Sunday lunch is a must as it is very well cooked and very tasty, the staff are very friendly too which makes for a pleasant visit.

Stopped in Wooler and spent a couple of hours in the Anchor. Dog friendly so our pooch was welcome. Nice friendly staff with a good selection of drinks. Didn’t eat here as there was a bingo night so had a restricted menu. Can recommend!

Three lads on our way to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, shored up at the nearby Shepherd's Huts YHA, and an evening of pints and frivolity downtown at the Anchor Inn. Well, walking in one could have heard a pin drop as all locals stopped, checked their breath, and turned our way, pints in hands still. OK, cliched, right? In fact, once we broke this ice, and launched into the dog's corner (he was asbent this evening) and started the banter with locals Derek and Tracey and a third gent at the bar whose name I sadly can't recall, things were just fine! Tracey regaled us with her stories of pet pythons and gravedigging (she said my brother would be an 'easy job' to bury but big Brendan she would surely struggle with).

Staying at a nearby holiday park we had just been along to Bamborough Castle and decided to head somewhere for Sunday lunch. On checking trip advisor we came across this gem and can honestly say the reviews don't do it justice.

We were only visiting the area for the weekend and really wanted a Sunday lunch. Found this lovely little pub who did us a great Sunday dinner and the staff were great with my 2 year old. Good gin and beer selection behind the bar.

Great food, very tasty & very large portions just what you need after a day out walking. Don't serve food every day though so you need to check.

Fantastic little pub. Nicest pub in Wooler, very clean, friendly helpful bar staff. Didn’t serve food on the night we went, but will definitely return

The pub is just out of sight from the high street, but is well worth the extra yardage. Very friendly staff and the food was top class for pub grub. Nice clean pub with plenty of space around the tables.

Sunday lunch was excellent. Massive servings of assorted vegetables alongside good sized portions of selections of meat (3-4 choices). Wasn't pricey either just really good value. Beer selection is good. Service good with friendly staff. Busy in the good weather, with lots of locals and holidaymakers enjoying their meals, so best booking early. We booked Saturday afternoon, no problems but very busy on the day and not surprised after the meal we had.

Visited here for the first time in Easter half term, small but friendly little pub, had a lovely family atmosphere and felt very comfortable to have a nice meal with 2 children. We all had a Sunday lunch and the food was delicious, all nice and fresh cooked meat and vegetables.... and plenty of gravy! Great idea to have veg in separate metal bowls to pick and choose what you want on your plate. Big portions too! Will definitely be visiting again.

local type pub..great atmosphere..weekend karaoke...good basic pub fayre at incredible prices...children and dog friendly

Thanks to Chris, Jeff, Carol and Julie for such a great welcome each time we go. We really look forward to the banter and great food - Sunday lunch is a must! My wife and I have found our forever pub where we feel more relaxed and rested after we have had a few gin and tonics or a cocktail from the list. My wife has even had one named after her and she really feels privileged! A great group of friends and the locals are welcoming too. John and Janice help run a bingo session on Saturdays and they always have a smile and a welcome for new faces.

Visited with family and friends bank holiday end of May. What a great family friendly pub. Everyone very friendly. Especially the staff. Hope to visit again soon.

Had a lovely afternoon watching the football match then a few drinks in the beer garden , friendly staff lovely pub .

I was pleasantly surprised to find an extensive gin collection and a beer garden. Perfect for a summers day/evening.

We walked from Riverside caravan park to have Sunday lunch, only 10 mins away.

Visited yesterday for sunday lunch again everything was cooked beautifully and you get so much veg we managed to eat most of it will be visiting again soon

Just had a cracking roast at Anchor Inn Wooler. Very generous portions, piping hot 'proper ' gravy. Recommend for anyone, brought our two dogs today, friendly welcome- good value too.
