The Anchor Inn in Wyre Forest

Down in the area for a few days and the locals said it was well worth a visit so we walked up from Wolverley along the canal. When we arrived (and it was random Monday) we were surprised how busy it was. Ordered the noted cobs and salad at a fiver each( less if you don't have salad) and we were not disappointed. The meats were plentiful and lovely. Don't do pub meals and it's cash only. Not surprised it was popular.

Just a really nice place can't wait to go back.

Great pub in the country near the canal. Famous for their cobs. Ham. Cheese. Beef.

Great choice of drinks the cobs are great value fast friendly service pork pie really tasty and loads of salad cash only

Exceptional as ever, beer first class cobs awesome and staff wonderful and friendly!!

Should really keep this a secret. But have to give them top review. They keep things simple. Quality and value and quantity.

Usual top banana! You don't go home hungry 😋

What kind of a business doesn't take card in this day!! Really disappointed visit . Cash only won't be coming again regardless of being told there's a cash point in next village. Not really practical when your walking.

First of all ... it's Cash Only 🤣 no big issue, there is a free cash machine available, but only noticed the cash only sign as I whipped my card out to pay 🙄🤣 0 out of 10 for my observational skills ! Nice little pub with a good atmosphere and welcoming staff, food was nice, we weren't there long, it was just a quick pit stop, but would visit again and recommend to walkers in the area needing a cob and a pint ☺️

Great pub, different ciders and gins - cobs and salads are always lovely and fresh -

This place does fantastic cobs and lots of different ciders

First time I had been there lovely cobs salad is first class

Really busy on a sunny day, but a lovely stop for a bite to eat

Fantastic pub serving cobs of brisket beef cooked daily with a luxurious salad. If you prefer a cheddar one, that's available too, both a price that's actually cheaper than chips. The beer is wide ranging from stouts to bitter. I spent an enjoyable evening here talking to a couple of locals who clearly appeared to have imbibed a jar or five. A brilliant pub that you can't afford to miss.

Best cobs ever. Love the beef and ham cobs and you get a plate full of salad. Can get busy but always been able to find a seat.

Great place for quick stop off.

Great food and friendly service 👌

Does what it says on the tin, lovely beer and cob, what better way to spend a sunny lunchtime, walk and pub stop at a fantastic pub.

Great place but what's letting it down is cash only, they do have a cash machine but on this visit it was broken, and it's in the middle of no where.time to get with the modern world Parking is an issue too.

They need to have card payments. They gave a cash point, but its no good if it's broken

Great all rounder , very comfortable, easy going pub 👍🏻

Great cobs, good beer and friendly bar staff. Really enjoyed our first visit.

Lovely chilled pub plenty 🥗 with the cob staff very pleasant

Used the place over the years always liked the atmosphere I'd recommend the cobs to anyone even a bigger carpark adjacent to the place good all round pub

Their famous Cheese, Ham, Roast beef baps with salad are excellent with a pint of cider in the warm and cosy atmosphere.

Just fantastic cobs very quick service .tomatoes cucumber lettuce and onion so fresh beef was so tasty cooked to perfection and great portions. £3.00p my dog it cant be beaten local treasure nipped in Saturday afternoon after a 9 mile walk lovely atmosphere.

Cannot fault anything. Unbelievable cobs at realistic prices, washed down by tremendous ales.

Fantastic place. We love it here. Usually go with our 2 friends. The cobs are something else. Gorgeous. Plenty filling. Beef and ham being my favourite. Pork pies and sausage rolls are yummie too. And you just have to have a jar of their onions too. Staff are so lovely and very friendly. Plenty outside seating with heaters to keep you warm. If you can park on premises, there is another car park just past the Anchor on the left. You can also park a bit further up on the lane (sensibly), oh, and not to mention the friendly little Robin who always stops by for your crumbs, if there's anything left of cause......... what are you waiting for 😃

Great pub. The only food they do are ham,cheese, or beef cobs, but they're the best for miles.

The best cobs around. Epic fillings on fresh rolls with lots of salad. Great Pork Pies and superb beer

Cobs are the best,people go back time and time again,nice atmosphere.

Best Cobs and HPA in the game. Took a group of the cricket lads over Xmas, place had a great atmosphere and all the staff were brilliant and friendly despite how busy it was.

Fantastic little place, service is so quick. Brilliant food, defo be back soon with the beacon CC lads

Great pint. Beer always spot on. People travel for miles for the cobs and salad.

Fab little pub.. traditional.. no modernisation.. Lovely cob lunch at only £3. Vast choice of beers . Ales and ciders.. also a large outdoor area .

Great place25 years of good times

Proper pub good atmosphere great cobs nice people love it 😀

Proper pub. Great Ales and the cobs are superb. Staff are very friendly and lovely.

Amazing staff sue lol and Josh great people

Lovely place to have a drink and cob

Sticking to tradition and doing what you do to the highest standards and quality Good beer good cobs setting the standard for others to follow - if they can Just a note it is cash only but it does have a cash machine in the pub with no charges

Absolutely 💯 awesome and delicious Cobs. 1 is never enough. Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Will definitely be going again Today

Great pub with a really friendly vibe and very good value menu

Very nice lovely cobs only issue don't do cards

The Anchor is a quality local pub that's in a smashing setting and what it does serve is simply spot on. Beer, cob and crisps. Pork Pie was spot on too! Cosy, with friendly staff and hope to return soon. Love that Nightjar stout is available here.

Only gave the food a 3 cause they only really sell cobs!! The cobs are fantastic though👍👍

Best cobs in the world and the cheapest.

A traditional pub, famous for its supèb cobs (cheese, ham or beef) and for its selection of very good beers, including Butty Bach, my personal favourite.

Very nice Pub with good beers and nice snacks.

Be aware that this is a CASH ONLY venue. They have a free cash withdrawal machine in the bar if you have your cards with you. We never, just mobile phones, so, regrettably, had to take our business elsewhere. We know the food and service are great, just wish these terms were on their FB page or website and it would of saved us a wasted 40 minute drive from Worcester.

Fabulous place for lunch, parking the only downside

Very chunky cheese, very chunky Pickle, what more could you want from an establishment such as this?

Legendary pit stop for anyone out rambling in South Staffs. Good filling cobs, friendly staff and a well kept cellar, its been rock solid for years, what more do you want really?

Yes - it is all about the cobs and the ridiculous amount of salad, outstanding, but coupled with great beer and good prices!!!

It's a really classic country feeling visiting this pub. The service and cider were both very good. The cobs were fantastic 👌. Keep up the good work. This kind of establishment is getting harder to find.

Another great country pub. Cobs are so good with plenty of salad Beer excellent

First visit to this place. And definitely not the last. Absolutely most enjoyable had a great experience. Food was fantastic. I applaud you thanks

Food was great value for money, service was great and staff were very friendly

Returned here after a couple of years away and what a disappointment. Firstly the cobs used are inferior to previous ones and the beef was that thickly cut it was unpalatable to eat, also no table service anymore, just not as good an experience as before.

Been today 15th aug 4 of us.had ham cobs with salad and pork pie.Excellent service and friendly staff. Will be visiting

What a lovely little gem off the beaten track. i cycled and drove past here many times without even knowing the Holy Grail of pub cobs existed, until i saw a van saying "The Anchor, No cobs are kept in this van overnight" after asking a few friends the shock on their face was real when they found out I'd never been. so one Saturday a friend and I decided to talk a long walk up the canal, through a country lane as to feel the reward inside with more appreciation. the cobs: INCREDIBLE... beef so succulent, Ham so salty and divine, Cheese, could be used as a weapon. the tasty cobs come with a months worth of fresh salad, you can even choose some lovely pickles, piccalilli or chutney (locally sourced from bewdley) pork pie: is one enough? the pub: its old school so dont expect all your fancy stuff but its got everything needed to was down 2 cobs. i like a carling, and this tasted like it was true Burton water itself, lovely pint. when asking for a pint of orance juice, only the bricvic in a tiny bottle was presented so that was a tad overpriced. overall: do it, go, go on! the staff are great, friendly and smiling, and the place is spotless. so many staff around cleaning and keeping it looking nice and the pub has that 'old pub' feel to it which i love. just remember its CASH ONLY they do have a cash machine but just fore warning you. you wont regret a visit here trust me.

Very friendly pub and staff are always smiling 😁 Everyone is having a good time and no one bothers you

Nice little pub .cob and a pint

Excellent cobs .Great staff .Well worth a visit.Highly recommended

Great little pub . Very busy but there's almost no parking. Be prepared to find spot down country lanes and walk.

Lovely unspoilt village pub. Great selection of beers & ciders. Famous for their lovely cobs. (No hot food). Nice friendly service & atmosphere. Been coming here since early 1990's.

This place is great for cobs and a pint go there with my daughter we take my husband for his birthday treat the walks up the canal are lovely the dog loves it as well they have a good selection of different ales and beers the cobs are really big and full of whatever meats or cheese you like can't praise it enough

A very friendly warm and welcoming country pub, just fantastic cobs and salad for sale, plus pork pie and sausage rolls on sake. All fresh and extremely scrumptious. A wide range of ales and ciders are on offer. Well worth a visit

I've been using the Anchor for over 30 years and it's still one of the best pubs in the UK. Don't forget the cobs as no visit is complete without a cob and salad.

Great traditional pub serving great cobs

Best place to go for cob lunch , lovely staff , lovely food

Amazing as always just love the cabs

Lovely place to chill with a pint and cob

As always a very warm welcome. Fantastic range of real ales and ciders. The cobs and salad are to die for.

Brill place to have a cob and a drink after a wlak on the canal nearby, recommend to anyone. Cobs are brilliant.

Cob and a pint perfect for summer's day Cobs are amazing and loads of salad Great pub friendly staff highly recommended a visit

Excellent cobs, loads of salad.

Always our stop off on the way back home from our travels great food great staff

Good selection of beer and cider, great cobs

Great little pub and their cobsand and are a must 😋

Cobs are to die for. Salad is amazing

We went here for a famous cob. Never let down here. The price is affordable. They have outside seating with cover if you want it. I had a cob, it's not fancy but crikey it's fresh and plenty of it. It's beautifully located and everyone was lovely.

Off the scale value for money cobs! Generous proportions of ham, beef or cheese and enough salad to take home with you and lasts all week. Truly amazing place! 😁

Visited today with my husband very friendly staff lovey cobs and pork pie excellent price for what you get. Cash only and dog friendly . Looking forward to going again.

First thing is it's CASH only brilliant and a free cash machine inside genius. Atmosphere was great all different walks of life enjoying the pub.food was amazing cobs are unreal well worth the money .service was excellent considering the amount of people that was there. We be going back very soon .

I will never look at Cob the same again! 😁 The beef? Just, Wow!

The only disappointing thing is they don't take contact less payments

Very quiet. Cash only bar !!! Run down bar. What a shame.

Great little pub great cobs but did over charge me by a tenner but rectified mistake great little place cheers

Love the cobs here, love the pub. Awesome for a chilled afternoon pint and a cob. I recommend the beef cob

The cobs for the price are amazing value

What a shame that Google only let you give 5 stars, I want to give more. Out on a Walk along the cannel and stopped for a rest at this pub. What a great pub it is, good beer, and had a beef cob, I almost ordered another one because they are so nice. Hope to do another walk in the area, and I'll make sure that I go past this pub again.

An absolute must! Remember cash only! We had a lovely walk at kinver and stopped here for a famous con. Staff were attentive, dog even got some free beef. The rolls were lovely with onion salad and tomatoes to add to it. We added pork pie too. Along with crisps and cider. NO hot food and no card payments. Lovely place will definetly return

Banging cobs and a pint of cider 👌

Best cobs ever. Reasonably priced drinks - good choices. Good covered outside space - dogs welcome there.

You will never taste cobs like these service great friendly staff 👍

Very popular old pub the cobs and salad and pork pie are lovely well worth a visit definitely going back 😋

Fabulous pork pies and great cobs (rolls) served with a mountain of salad to stuff in them yourself and thick cut ham, beef or cheese. Bargain prices. Could be slightly better if the cobs were the sort that were really crusty and well browned on top (these were slightly crusty but not the best we’ve tried). Altogether a great place though and would definitely return

Lovely little village pub. Decent selection of real ales and fabulous cobs

Always a good experience when we visit. Large outdoor, indoor spaces & dog friendly We enjoyed fresh cobs with decent servings of ham, cheese or beef served with large tasty garden salad. You can choose your condiments and enjoy. Staff are friendly & place is clean and welcoming, service is swift Great spot for a beer & a cob
