The Anchor Inn in Redcar and Cleveland

Lovely place fires always on best pub In town

My local, a lovely place to have a pint and a chat

Great little pub, homely atmosphere with no tv's and the stout is excellent

Called in for a quick drink and a chat with my fiancéin what we thought was a friendlylocal pub. We had a fraught morning and needed to quickly check our bank and dates regarding something extremely important and was immediately and extremely rudely told 'this is a no phone pub' I love that!! Having worked in hospitality for years I am a huge fan of encouraging people to socialise without being stuck in mobile phones but the key word here is ' encourage'. I have never been spoken to so disgustingly nor met with such abhorrent and unessesary rudness in my life. I explained very promptly if I don't check my banking app I won't be able to buy another drink and i need fo check something extremely important and was met with mocking and further rants from regulars. This pub also refuses dogs so that clearly says it all!!!!! Not a Yorkshire pub at all!!!! Hope your business learns how to treat people in the future, with care and concern and respect!!! as my day was completely ruined by your nasty bullying behaviour. Shameful place.

Wanted to call in and see how the new owners were handling the old place.. Still early days but will revisit as stout was very nice..

Cracking place. Proper traditional pub serving good selection of beers, Lagers and ciders

Nice friendly place, good choice of drinks. owners is lovely too.

This tiny pub is a portal into a bygone era of British communal life. Step through its doors and into the miniscule bar and you will be warmed not only by the open fire but also by the true friendliness of all those inside. With a maximum capacity of maybe a dozen folk in the main room you will be sat so close to others you will be compelled to chat and make company. With a discouragement of electronics you will find yourself deep in conversation in no time. This is rather a unique experience in 2023 but a welcome one. The beer is totally top notch and the prices very reasonable. I cannot recommend this pub enough. This is Britain as I imagine it used to be. It is not part of a chain. It does not serve generic plates of food. It does not have children dashing about. There is no TV, music or gambling machine. It is great beer, good company and conversation. Every village and town should have one. Brilliant!

A great locals pub with character.

Great to see the Anchor Inn Pub open and how lucky were we as it had only just reopened. A lovely couple are at the helm and doing a fantastic job. The place is spotlessly clean, beer is great and the the new managers are on top of their game. Long may it remain open.

This popular pub has gone to the dogs recently. The tennant, who started with great promise, has lost his drive and annihlated regulars who no longer frequent the pub. He closes early, even though he is paid to serve to time and gives out an unpleasant atmosphere. Humphrey, take note.

The landlord shuts on a.Sunday Bank Holiday Weekend at 10pm then when you shake your head exclaims don’t shake your head don’t shake your head, very rude and won’t be back, good luck Humphrey with this landlord

Nice oldie worldie pup Not found very often these days

Sam Smith pubs are different, if you follow the brewery rules as the landlord has to, you should enjoy this pub. The building is grade 2 listed, a typical Victorian pub which retains an old style bar, a true drinking room. The no mobiles rule is strictly adhered to so people talk to each other. The landlord is friendly, the customers are friendly! We drank Old Brewery Bitter served by handpump and from an Oak cask. It was fit as a butchers dog. We just stumbled on this pub,a pleasant surprise after a 13 mile up and downhill walk. The other pubs in Guisborough are nothing to write home about , this one makes up for all the others!

We were 9 of us playing games and drinking in the back room . No TV or canned music . It was warm coat and drinks were good . At the moment they do not serve food just bar nibbles . But the beer and ambience was good . Well done .

The best traditional public house for many Square miles

Good to know that you are in an iconic television programme's setting

Brilliant. Mick and Sharon are doing a wonderful job.

Rented a small cottage in guisborough next door to this pub. Popped in for a pint before we heading home as it always looked a good place to have a drink. If you’re in the area I would highly recommend a visit. An extremely friendly landlord and landlady in a very pleasant environment. My only regret is that I hadn’t popped in sooner but will definitely be drinking there when I come back.

Visited today. A really old fashioned pub with a fantastic atmosphere. A real sense of community here. Really affable manager keen to make this a really successful enterprise. By far the best pub I’ve been in for ages.

Won't ever bother going here again. "No Dogs". Fine, dog can't come in and I won't be either. Plenty of other pubs in town that do allow dogs.

This dear little pub has now re-opened with the most welcoming couple running it - such broad smiles and funny banter Tiny , warm, spotless and the beer is excellent - in the keeping, and pouring, of Phones off and hidden away, nice to hear real chatter from the various rooms Will be a great newly found local for me and various friends Good luck to the new managing couple. Cheers!

Would have visited if open- been closed for several months; looks like they are advertising for a new manager/manageress like many other Sam Smith pubs across the region

Brilliant place,, however, haven't been there since lockdown finished, but have been told that the price of ale has gone up 50% to £3 a pint ,, this is not good as you can go down the road and get a pint for. £1.85 , you do the maths,,,

Quirky, interesting and cheap. The world would be a poorer place without the Anchor. Do be aware of the zealous enforcement of the No Digital device rule by the new management. Take your phone out of your pocket to check your messages, take a photo, order a taxi or post a review and you may be asked to leave. Don't ask if you can have the wifi code.....

Welcoming staff and a friendly landlord and good beer what more could you ask for

The Anchor is a nice plave to go for time out and have a beer

Great cozy pub, bar staff very polite and a great selection of Samuel Smith's beers on tap.

Lovely pub with very friendly staff loved it

This is a Sam Smith pub, so prices on all beers are very, very low. I would highly recommended this pub to all my family and friends

Tiny, old-fashioned bar with small, but pleasant, beer garden. Friendly. Limited variety of drinks available and not serving food.

Great selection of draught at bargain prices. No plastic payment.

Love the friendly atmosphere, customer service and the beer garden, lovely little pub !

Lovely friendly village style pub

Hands down my favourite pub on Teesside. Friendly and welcoming staff and atmosphere, really good value and quality drink, will always make an effort to go here if in Guisborough

Great atmosphere, & great bar staff

Lovely old traditional pub in quiet location, although they don't serve Guinness the real ale stout was quite nice. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and good selection of real ales. If we are ever in Guisborough again this would definitely be one watering hole on my list.

Great value, friendly staff and welcoming of dogs with an open fire. Just about says it all

Great pub, always busy, walkers in during the afternoon, different age groups at different times at night, lovely people , lovely staff very friendly

A pub for all ages. Never quiet, always a conversation to be had.

We visited the Anchor Inn while staying at Guisborough Hall. The Anchor Inn is a Sam Smiths Pub which although very small has a very homely feel to it. A nice beer Garden around the back and very reasonable priced ale. Stone floors and very clean. A little hidden gem

A very friendly pub with great landlord and staff. Olde worlde type interior with real fires and nook rooms with a partial outside seating area with a further beer garden to the rear. No food unfortunately but very reasonable beer prices. The pub also benefits from recently refurbished toilets.

Very friendly atmosphere, good ale

The anchor. What can you say? Lovely beer, superb landlord & lady. I'm not there as much as I'd like, but always a great welcome. My local.

Lovely straightforward old pub. Friendly and welcoming.

Lovely friendly pub,nice atmosphere, landlord and landlady are really nice people.

Good beer, reasonable price, affable host. Hope too many people don't ever find this place.

Small friendly quiet and able to have conversations with friends without shouting above music

Excellent pub great atmosphere always people to talk to love it

Like stepping back in time , good tasting beers ,lagers and cider very reasonable priced and the host is always there with a friendly greeting

Typical pub, no frills, not noisy, no food service, great pub to relax with friends

Best pub in the area warm welcome and cheap drinks

Beautiful little place, very traditional with lovely staff. Beer garden is so well looked after and is lovely in the summer.

First time in Guisborough with our friends. Love this quirky pub, the beer is to die for, sat in the snug with the fire burning. We're here for the afternoon :0)

The pub is owned by Sam Smiths, to whit Humphrey Smith [worth checking out Google], being one of two in the town, from that Tadcaster brewery.Situated slightly off the town main street to the South East: however, there is next to no immediate parking, unless there is a letter Q in the name of the month.Has a bar, snug and a pleasant conservatory and a garden. Spanking fires in the first two rooms, in Winter.Despite Mr. Smith's manifold eccentricities, the tenant sticks at it. He runs a tight ship- good beer, good conversation, and the pub is decidedly popular- deservedly.Beer is limited to the brewery ONLY, so don't expect anything out of their range, and crisps/ nuts will have to suffice hunger pangs, but in truth- what more can one ask for ? Decent Stout, number of Lagers,Bitters, Ciders- draught and bottled, and Bottled Chocolate Stout, Fruit Beer, Wheat Beer, Pale Ale in bottle, though personally I wouldn't be paying the prices asked for the wines.There is no food, no music.Cheap beer, first class settingsI recommend a visit ASAP, as Sam Smiths' publicans of any longevity are a dying breed.

Looking like a house front it deceptively has several rooms with character, a conservatory and a large well laid out beer garden with lovely flowers. The beer is very good and excellent value, we are glad that we found it on our short break to Guisborough.

Me encanta este acogedor pub local el propietario y su esposa son muy acogedor y todo el personal es amable y eficiente. El pub no sirve comida o alojamiento, pero tiene un precioso jardín de la cerveza en la parte trasera de la propiedad que el propietario y su esposa supervisará el mantenimiento de.

Other newer bars come and go ,but for consistent good service, quality of beers the "Anchor " is always the tops.

Una casa muy bonita, acogedora y encantadora. Excelente ubicación con muchos paseos para humanos y perros en guisborough forrest a 5 minutos de la puerta de la casa. La costa está a 15 minutos en coche. Una encantadora chimenea de asentarse y la casa en sí estaba impecablemente limpio. Volveremos, nos encantó! !

I'm alone among friends regarding Sam Smiths public houses. For me it represents good beer at affordable prices. The Anchor goes beyond that by having plenty of room and an excellent warmly heated courtyard with comfortable seating. While the purists drinking branded spirits may want their usual tipple, beer drinkers can't fail to be impressed with what Mr Smith has to offer. For me the bottled Organic Lager is the best and always served ice cold!

Went into this pub for a quick pint I was staying in Whitby and got the bus into guisbourgh what a friendly little pub the landlord mark was so friendly we had another pint with my partner great friendly atmosphere

being non local to the area we took the plunge and visited this popular pub, seemed everyone knew each other but didn't once feel uncomfortable. Cheap Samuel Smiths beer and Gin!

Old fashioned, three cosy little rooms, we liked the indoor courtyard, the log fire was burning, definitely on our hit list at guisborough. It is one of the best pubs we have tried in Guisborough! x

Best ales and lager in town (area) at the best prices. The patrons are a mixture of age groups and nearly all local, some of the best wit to be experienced. Landlord is friendly. This is a local treasure.

No music, no TV's - a traditional pub. A very warm welcome by the bar staff and friendly banter with the locals. A great little find - and very good value - thee pints for £5.08.

Stone fronted traditional Pub, no sky,no music just good atmosphere and a beer garden for when the Sun shines !

No better place to visit to get the "friendly country pub atmosphere", from walking through the door you are made to feel like one of the locals, and with prices starting at £1.50 for a pint of beer / larger its also great value.

What could be more original for an English Inn to be set as the Angel is in the middle of a row of houses with a stone uneven floor just like I remember from the 1940s/50s. We had only dropped in for a "swift half" of Old Brewery while dinner was being prepared at home. However, we stayed a little longer than planned but were finally called through modern technology. A great experience, with friendly staff. My taste buds await my next visit.ColinB. Toronto.P.S. Ref. my rating, remember Beer is a food.

Stepping into the Anchor is like stepping back 40 years to the time when pubs were centres of the community and sold lovely beer cheaply. Sam Smiths bitter at £1.80 a pint. Yes please!. The pub was rocking when we rolled up at 6pm on a January Saturday evening. Friendly and efficient staff pull your beer and there are lots of cosy little rooms to enjoy it in. Small and perfectly formed - I recommend this pub to you.

This is a great friendly and cheap pub it is a small pub with some small rooms. The staff are very friendly.

This is a great friendly small public house great drinks and cheap too. In the winter it has open fires.

The pub local is not dead yet! This is a brilliant, and typical, 'local'. Sammy Smiths may not be everybody's cup of tea but here it is kept well and is very competitively priced. A warm, friendly & convivial atmosphere greets your arrival at this establishment.

The Anchor offers a very diverse package of people who frequent which makes it a very friendly local pub. The staff are extremely accommodating and will help in any way they can, the locals are friendly the beer and lagers are very reasonable and I believe are some of the cheapest in town. The Anchor is small, quaint and full of stories, come and see for yourself.!!

Mark, the publican, knows my name and I don't live in Guisborough...that says it all. That and the fantastic bitter. If you like proper beer in proper pubs, this is the only pub in Guisborough to come to.

a small imitate pub with 2 small rooms , 1 the bar, and a conservatory and beer garden.The locals are really friendly, the beer is very competitively priced and the landlord is a hoot!The stout is as good as a well known and over priced Irish stout.The beer garden in the summer is an absolute sun trap.I must admit to being a regular, but why go elsewhere?

Not the biggest but definitely the cheapest and liveliest pub in Guisborough. I expected an 'outsider' attitude first time I went in. After a few pints everyone was very friendly and ended up having a sing song. Perfect place for pre-drinks before a night out!

Best pub in Guisborough. Friendly landlord & landlady. Cheap beer. Many small cozy rooms add character and atmosphere. Super beer garden. No fruit machines or music here but lots of friendly local banter.

We love the Anchor, sitting in the bar in the winter by a roaring fire , or out the back in the summer. A truly wonderful atmospheric little pub .

This is a proper pub, no food, just good beer and a proper pub atmosphere. It also as an outdoor area for sitting out on summer days.

This pub is set in a nice location and consists of a small bar with little rooms off and an enclosed conservatory.At the rear is a pretty beer garden which is lovely in the summer.The alcohol though is the cheapest you will find but you have to have a certain type of stomach to handle it, To me, it tastes God awful, but after a few you get used to it. By that time you're normally on your backside!Normally nice people in there and a homely atmosphere. Not for kids unless you are outside or in the conservatory

Everyone raves about the Anchor,and how cheap it is.Yes...the drinks are cheap...and everyone seems thrilled and happy with this...really nice people,with a nice relaxed atmosphere,Friendly landlord and landlady,and friendly barstaff...sounds perfect...doesn't it?......It would be if I could get away with drinking the brew.In my opinion...it is cheap for a reason...... I have tasted alot of lagers,and this is probably worse than Kestrel,and Hansa...(latter does not exist anymore for a reason)..If you can manage to get to wetting your lips with a third pint...you are either past the point of caring...because it is potent...or in my case ...I cannot stomach the taste no more.

Very reasonable price on drinks and quaint little pub with lots of rooms and open fires. All drinks are Sam Smiths versions of regular beverages.

The best Pub in town by far. Always an excellent pint and an excellent price. What more can you ask?The locals are very friendly unless you sit in Malcolm's seat.
