The Anchor Inn in Horsham

Beware - on leaving the pub on a Saturday evening a large dog attacked me, this occurred without even making eye contact with the owner or the dog. The dog continuously was biting the sleeve of my coat. Luckily it was only my coat and not my arm the dog was biting. No apology was received by the dog owner sat around the bar, or the staff working at the time. For anyone entering especially with young children please be careful as I believe the dog owner is a regular customer. Apart from that, good atmosphere and reasonably priced drinks. *EDIT* Owners have been intouch and have insured this issue would not happen again, thank you. 2 stars to 4 stars.

I am new to the area and this pub was recomended to me.Firstly I wouldn’t give the food to my dogs.Attitude was terrible.The barman who served me had a permanent long face and yes never again would I go there.

Simple lunch and good beer. Very friendly and very much a community pub. A local showed off his newborn to us with pride.

Nice atmosphere and there was beer which was nice

Perfectly crispy fish and chips - no soggy bottom 🥳 I ate before realising I'd forgotten to take pics. Oops. Must mean I need to go back!

Popped in for lunch following a recommendation. We ordered 6 dishes from the Around The World in 18 Small plates menu. Plus a side of Mac n Cheese. Every dish was full of flavour and well presented. Delicious food and lots of it too. Definitely we will be back.

OMG! I think I've just died and gone to food heaven! ❤️❤️❤️ You have to try their food, it's amazing. We had the small dishes that are marketed as around the world in 18 dishes. We like to think of them as Tapas. We ordered 3 little dishes each, they are a bargain at £16.50 for 3 and very filling. Between the 5 of us we've tried most of the 18 dishes between us. My favourites are the Greek Salad (yeah, I know, how can a salad be a favourite? But honestly, you need to try this one!) Jamaican Butternut Squash curry, which comes with 3 dumplins which are the most delicious thing I've ever had the pleasure to put in my mouth! A bit like a sweet scone with a crusty shell. And the Mozambique prawns, which just melt in your mouth. I was too full to try the puddings, but if the savory are anything to go by, I bet they are amazing too. Next time... I really can't fault their food, complements to your chef!

Had a impromptu late lunch today. My partner and I both had the mini brunch at The Anchor, homemade 2 cheese hash brown, streaky bacon, fried egg, mushroom & tomato...delicious! Atmosphere very inviting, will definitely come again

Just had lunch for 2 from the new "around the world" small plates menu. Amazing flavours and a very creative offering. The Jamaican Dumplins and the Mac Cheese stole the show for us. Highly recommend for a really different and inspired menu. We'll done, we will be back.

Pleasant Pub with a good clientele. Clean and comfortable.

Food is amazing and reasonably priced. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Loads of parking and great atmosphere. Lots of entertainment provided too

Food was lovey! Friendly bar staff, pub itself was so cosy as decorated for Christmas. Would definitely stop here again for food/drinks!

An absolute must. The food, drinks and service were totally on point. Will be back again for sure 😃

The best pub in Storrington. Great food, amazing chef. The owners are very welcoming and friendly. Love it

Popped in for a light refreshment, enjoyed the atmosphere, the music and the service was excellent. Faults ? May benefit from a better malt whisky selection - perhaps not essential in the locality.

Just wanting to give these guys a shout out and review. The Anchor is a lovely pub in particular the service from staff member Charlie, he is always attentive, friendly and pours the perfect pint of Guiness. Thank you Charlie and all the team at The Anchor. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

First visit and we will be back. Friendly pub with a good selection of ales and lagers. Had steak dinner off the menu which was delicious. The chips were the best I've ever eaten. Recommended

I've lived in storrington a few years but this was first time to the anchor. Good beer, good atmosphere. Will be back to try the food!

Village boozer with a welcoming atmosphere. What more can you want.

Lovely friendly pub, staff and very welcoming, good selection of drinks and very clean/tidy.

Four of us had lunch there today and had a brilliant meal. Service was also very good. Wednesday and thursday meal deal is excellent and basically a free starter! Would definitely recommend this pub. 👌 Also good gluten free options.

Definitely be back!! I went in yesterday for a drink and ended up staying for a good couple of hours. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere was nice and relaxed. Didn’t have food this time, but going back to try another day.

Very nice pub......super service by very helpfull staff, and very child and dog friendly as well..Great little beer garden at rear.....Awesome snack menu.....

My fiancée and I had a lovely lunch here this afternoon. The food and service were faultless. The veggie chilli nachos in particular were really good but all was tasty. Glad this place is doing food again, and doing it well.

A lovely roast dinner, beef was beautifully cooked and so tender. Very good value for money. Jordan was lovely too, very attentive .

Amazing sunday roast! Great portions, beautifully cooked, great kids portion. Absolutely recommend! Also a lovely pub with friendly attentive staff

Just dropped in for a spot of lunch... had the steak. Good portion and very well cooked, defo worth a try

Excellent lunch very courteous, Staff

Tried this out for a Sunday lunch with family (and dog!) as wanting to support local business that’s started serving food. Very accommodating of both children and the dog. Nice roasts, attentive staff (thank you Jordan) we will be back.

A great venue for an evening out with friends and then back to the next day for lunch or dinner, amazing staff and character

Great food had a really tasty roast well worth it .Will be going back for more .Friendly service will spread the word how much I enjoyed the food .We should look after our local business

Such a lovely atmosphere and super friendly staff. Came here for a late lunch when all other pubs in storrington had shut their kitchen. A warm welcome from Martyn who was behind the bar. Immediately said hello to our scruffy pooch and let me alter the menu choice to suit my weird lent commitments. Came out with dog biscuits and water and asked if there was anything else we needed. So friendly. So tasty. So lovely. It will be our first choice in storrington next time!

Just stopped in this gorgeous traditional pub and had the Cajun chicken burger even the chief came out and asked how my meal was excellent food and service thank you

Visited for the first time with parents who have just moved to the village. Had a selection of starters, buffalo cauliflower, tempura prawns and calamari, all of which was spot on. Main courses were great too, 2 of us had the chicken pie, plus sausage mash and a vegan burger, all excellent. Tasty selection of beers, Timothy Taylor Landlord is a delight.

Had a great Sunday lunch art the Anchor. The food was excellent and the staff were really accommodating, fitting us in with our dog who got some pub biscuits for being good. There were other food choices on the menu, including a tempting fish and chips, but we all opted for the Sunday lunch, on offer was pork or beef or a mixture of the two as well as a vegetarian/vegan option. One of our group was gluten intolerant but was very well catered for with gluten free gravy, gluten free cauliflower cheese and gluten free chocolate brownies. Will definitely be going again soon....

Good traditional pub - only popped in for a drink, so I can't comment on the food, but what I saw being served looked good..

Went here yesterday with a group of us and what can I say? We were all more than happy with our roasts. Plenty on the plate and the best roast potatoes I've had in a long time. The service was 110%. A massive well done...

First time they have been doing roast dinners and just wow! Absolute amazing food and great value for money. 14 of us came and the service from Jordan was 1st class. Oscar certainly knows what he is doing and I have been enjoying the food for the last two weeks but the roast dinner was incredible. Such a great atmosphere and everybody enjoyed it thoroughly. Also Martyn on the bar was great and considering it was so busy we didn’t have to wait for drinks at all, overall seriously impressed, long may it continue absolutely recommend

Our first time eating at the Anchor and we were very impressed with the service, quality of food, and value for money. We had the chicken pie and the fishcakes which were both delicious, and to top it all they had my favourite beer -...

Awesome mixed roast for Sunday lunch, great food, well cooked and served with a smile by Jordan. next time we will both come in, as you know who is jealous .

Good local pup for a quick beer before curry

I have been going to the anchor inn for years now. The Anchor has the best atmosphere! no matter what, I always know I'm well looked after by everyone. Its so easy to get talking to new people and socialise. The workers at the anchor...

Well what can we say! Cajun chicken burger, sausage and mash! We love a pub meal but you can often be very underwhelmed, not at the anchor! We were blown away by the quality, portions and value for money! Sacha behind the bar was so...

Jordan greeted us with a smile, and was superb serving the customers. While we were there we saw her helping a little old fella who was struggling to walk and hold his beer, and she assisted him to get a table. We were really impressed...

A very good lunch time meal. The service was very good and the freshly made food was excellent. It is early days for the new chef and there will be more development to come including Sunday roasts. Great service from Jordan. Will certainly revisit when...

Not local to Storrington. Stopped for lunch and received a nice warm, friendly welcome from Jordan 10/10 for her service. We feel the food however was below average. At £16 for a Steak burger (which appeared to be a standard beef burger), I don't think...

The pubs in Storrington regularly go through cycles of good and bad and The Anchor is definitely on the way up. Came out for some pub grub and a couple of drinks with my wife. Until recently they didn't serve food so we were keen...

Popped in with hubby as I'd heard they are now serving food. What a treat: he enjoyed a couple of different cask ales while I supped on a tasty pinot noir. We shared somry 'light bites' veggie nachos followed by sausages from a local butcher...

Great place for a drink and looks like good food we did not eat this time

Very good local pub,food was delicious, service was excellent . Will be back, definitely

Thank you to all the lovely staff, management and friendly locals for making my sister and I very welcome on NYE. We had such a lovely evening and will be popping in much more often now! Love all the events they put on, great selection of draft beers too! Great to have a great local in our village ❤️

An excellent atmosphere very christmassy

Stopped off for some lunch after a walk around Storrington in the sun. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Good selection of drinks and a varied menu. Decided to order a mix of small dishes to share. Food came out quickly and was very tasty. Didn't feel rushed and was able to sit and watch the world go by with a drink after.

Had a drink but no food available. Bit cold in the pub, all in all works just for a quick drink. Annoying with heavy lorries thundering by

Our group of 8 visited on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and everyone was really happy with the quality and quantity of the food. Staff really nice and helpful. Great value for money too, highly recommended.

We love the Anchor... great music, great company and superb neck oil. x

Great pub. Big car park and good food..

Sticky floor, lots of smoking outside...not enough space outdoors for non smokers to enjoy the space on a warm summer's day unfortunately.

I just used the car park to turn around (like rod Stewart)

The only pub in Storrington with a vibe. I have been there many times now, and it's always nice to see the same faces. The place is undergoing a little face lift, and I am looking forward to the changes. So far, everytime we have been, it ends up in a sing along or a dance, really a lot of fun. Haven't eaten there yet, but menu looks good.

Not able to make tea or coffee as the machine was 'broke'..... No kettle instant and/or a tea bag? Nice food though and good service.

Doggo approved for resting and sniff more dogs lol

Had a nice quiet pint in the garden out the back. Will come back again.

if it is in Storrington it has the worst food ever presented as pub food

Just had the one night staying locally, and glad I called in for a quick drink. Staff where friendly and very attentive. Good atmosphere, and will call back next time I’m working around this area.

Great locsl pub with grey people

A pub that could be much better.

Of the three pubs in Storrington the Anchor has the best parking.

Cheap food. Cold beer. One of the few places serving food late afternoon.

Friendly local pub/restaurant with great food and nice atmosphere. Recommended.

Friendly place excellent music provided by Moodkayenne a local duo.

Walking on South Down Way and we went down into Storrington for our lunch. This was the first pub we found, in hindsight we should have looked on TA before hand. But we were hungry so... 2 jacket potatoes and a sharing platter. We asked...

A shouting match between the staff and a customer made for an eventful evening

Hello, I’m 27 with 3 kids and was kicked out for being underage. Fuming.

Brilliant resting place partway through a long walk.

Had a business / family dinner and drinks. Food was amazing the chef is friendly and accommodating to requests. Had a band on later in the evening and was very good and entertaining! Would recommend for families for food and pretty much anyone else for...

Nothing overwhelming, nice little pub in a rather quite place.

I would like to thank the anchor inn for assisting and holding my fathers wake this week. The open fire made everyone very comfortable, great seating options for young and old, getting some out of the comfy sofa's was an issue at the end of the afternoon, great spread of food, tea and coffee provided for those that didn't wish or require the bar. We also used the TV to show a photograph slide show. I loved the back ground music to add and we really enjoyed gathering to remember my father on this sad day but the staff and owners made it a pleasure to be in their pub.Many Thanks

We had Sunday lunch here. There is a good sized menu with everything from light snacks, to two different roast options and a good choice of puddings too. There were three of us, we had drinks including some alcohol and two courses each and it came in at around £15 each which is great value for money. The food was excellent and the lady serving us was lovely, despite having the most awful cold she was chatty and smiley. It is not the smartest pub in the world and could have done with a bit more heating in the dining area as we were a little chilly but otherwise we were very happy. There is ample parking to the rear of the pub along with a patio seating area which is also used for smokers in the colder weather. I highly recommend this pub.

Great food . Good service. Great atmosphere.. good for a night out.

Nice Sunday lunch after being let down my the Moon after booking and no roasts left so crossed road to the Anchor and had a nice meal for four of us.

We popped in for a drink and were immediately struck by the fact that it looked like it could do with a bit of TLC. The welcome at the bar was friendly enough and the drinks were fine (and cheaper than elsewhere in town) but everywhere was just a bit tatty, particularly the outside "Beer Patio".OK for a quick drink but we left after one.

Amazing and friendly staff! Great atmosphere

Ended up here whilst mooching around Storrington. Was greeted by the young barmaid who was very pleasant and polite. I ordered the gammon egg and chips and my other half the prawn cocktail, both were of a generous portion and rather tasty!My only criticism is that the music was a tad too loud and I had to go in and ask for ketchup and mayo, other that that it was a lovely lunch and we sat out back in the courtyard in the sun. We will return and thank you.

Great village pub, good vibe, music and landlords

Nice atmosphere and good prices

We stopped in for lunch last week and we were very pleasantly surprised by the menu choice and the prices. My husband had the steak and said it was the best ever. He asked for some extras and it was no trouble to the staff. Very nice chap there and apparently it was his father who was the chef. Definitely will go back soon.

Friendly warm welcome. Lovely traditional good ole pub food served. Good tasting beer and wine.

My wife and I, whilst enroute home, decided to stop off in the small village of Storrington for lunch. We happened across The Anchor Inn, a small pub on the main street with a car park to the rear.Bearing in mind it was a Monday we did not expect to find it crowded and indeed it wasn't. None the less we were cordially greeted and seated. I am guessing the restaurant part of the pub could seat some 40 or so diners and it struck me as being a little dark but to be fair it was a dismal weather day outside and that certainly did not help.We were presented with a menu whilst our drinks were ordered and essentially it was wholesome pub food very reasonably priced. The menu, and specials board, did not give a very wide choice but the nevertheless was more than adequate. When served at the table, the food was well presented, hot and very tasty and quite filling.All in all, I would certainly call in again when passing because I felt the food was exceptionally good value for money and we could not fault the standard of service. Please remember, it is not a 5 star restaurant but if you require a good quality basic meal you could do an awful lot worse.

This was our first time at this pub/restaurant. We were seated quickly and served drinks right away (no ginger beer though!).The menu was fairly standard and of reasonable prices.Considering the dishes we had ordered and the few people eating, it took an inordinate amount of time for the main course to arrive. When it did it looked as though somebody with no cooking ability, let alone a chef, had filled the plate. We will not bother again.

We had lunch with our son here yesterday and sat on the sofas with him in a high chair next to us. It was fairly quiet and relaxed atmosphere.

Me and two of my pals, 3 locals of the village who often go to the anchor, decided we would like to play some pool and not drink alcohol and just drink soft drinks tonight as we all had to attend college early tomorrow. We walked in, in high spirits but straight away we were being stared down by one of the bar staff with a stretcher. Within 30 seconds of us being in there he marched over and asked us if we wanted any drinks. We replied “yes, 3 orange juice and lemonades please,” aggressively he snapped “if you aren’t drinking any ******* alcohol, get out.” We tried to explain how we weren’t drinking because off college tomorrow but he didn’t want to hear it and escorted off the premises, not even allowing us to finish our game of pool which we paid for.

We had our Staff Xmas Meal here and all I can say is that it was a lovely Xmas Dinner we each got our own gravy boat which was a nice touch as we know you can never have enough on your Xmas Dinner .

I love this pub,friendly staff,good beers,plenty of evening entertainment,good food and an excellent landlord,ive had many good evenings down the Anchor.👍👍

Basic pub menu very well done. A good choice of traditional pub food served quickly with a pleasant smile. Room was a bit cold but the quality and quantity of food made up for that. Tables not too close together and staff unobtrusive. Would recommend and will probably go again

Friendly staff, nice basic Sunday menu it wasn't overly busy so didn't have to wait too long. The decor is a little tired but I imagine it's a busy pub of a Friday and Saturday night. Nice big car park at the rear which is plus, I would say overall it's a good local pub it's not one I would go out of my way for but it did the job on the day

Lovely roast !!!!! Will definitely return next time we are down this way.Thanks

We had lunch on Saturday and were really impressed so booked for Sunday roast it was delicious as was the lunch and we were offered the choice of normal or children’s portions on the roast and as neither of us are big eaters we plumped for the children’s portion......and it was superb and nearly too much for us!! We then had sticky toffee pudding with butterscotch sauce as the saying goes “to die for” we would definitely recommend this restaurant plus they have a really good selection of beers etc.

Well what can I say one of the worst meals I have had the misfortune of ordering, totally inedible, my complaint was dismissed by all staff and owner and I excused of lying about the quality of my meal

New management - great food and prices
