The Anchor Inn in Wyre Forest - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

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.

The best Black Country pub by far!

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.

Excellent cobs, loads of salad.

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

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

Lovely food. Very nice atmosphere would be pleased to visit again ☺️

Love the anchor, the cobs are amazing and great value! My only niggle is that they used to do an alcohol free cider but recently they haven't had this, it's a shame as they have a massive range of alcoholic ciders.

A quaint little pub with spectacular cobs on offer.

Coming back to this to edit with further info but best place ever and well worth the 3 year wait!

Traditional English pub with the best cobs man could offer top boozer 👌

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

Have been coming here for years and not much has changed really which is great. The cobs are amazing and the salad will last you a week and they will gladly give you something to take it home in. Summer is good when you get to sit outside but even now usually as there are a large group we tend to take over the Snug as it's really cosy.

Called in here Sunday and we all had their famous cobs. Lots of filling of ham, beef or cheese and loads of fresh salad. Only criticism is I looked at the carpet on the way out and dear Lord was filthy. How it could get like that in one day I'll never know! Looked like it hadn't been vacuumed for a fair time. Tables were not cleared either, we had to clear the table to use it. Looks like they should employ more staff. Shame as the cobs were just the best anywhere!!

Can't lie, I love a cob and they dished up a big one. Massive slab of cheese on it and a fresh salad. That and a HPA for under a tenner.

Beautiful place and very dog friendly too. They do lovely crusty cobs for only £3 and fantastic beer and ales. Lovely beer garden with it all being closed in with patio heaters. Love it here. Would highly recommend this place.

This pub famously known for it's cobs and rightly so I've yet to find ANYWHERE to match the quality and value for money if you've never tried it you will not be disappointed.

Highly recommend excellent food and service and brilliant atmosphere

Great cobs and salad and cider

The Staff are amazing. We sit out side 99% of the time and all the tables are always clean and the staff never forget us all outside even though the pub inside is really busy. Thank you Frankie and all the Staff

Such a great pub. Setting is perfect. Great cobs, well known for them. Beer is always good. Very popular any time of year. Great atmosphere.

Always a good pint and cob here. Well worth a visit.

The pub is very 'rustic' but it doesn't detract from the lovely cobs and salad. Cash only, which is a little annoying but there is a free cash machine available in the bar. Outside heaters are amazing and kept us warm even on a cold day.

First time here nice little pub I heard its known for its cobs aswell but didn't have 1. But next time I drop in I will have a cob with a beer

Really good pub, excellent ales and ciders. Cob's and salad with them something else.

Always great food. Good variety of alcohol. Nice atmosphere.

Goid selection of beers, cobs to die for 😋

Fabulous, traditional pub!! It's cash only, but they do have an ATM in the bar. Great prices and the cobs are a must if you visit! Close to the canal, so perfect after a long walk! Great in the summer with the outside space,but also lovely and cosy inside in the winter months! Staff are really friendly!

Think the online hype looks better than we expected. Bostin cobs, limited wines and no card payments which may complicate the evening if you only have Apple Pay or google pay. Parking is limited if the pub gets full.

Beautiful beef cobs and plenty of salad ( just need to spin the lettuce !) good pint and coffee - dogs welcome

Keep up the good work, well worth trip out

Great pint of real ale. Lovely no nonsense working man's country pub

Had a lovely time food was good

Nice pub with a wide selection of drinks. Cobs were nice but wasn't a fan of the beef cob. Everything else was tip top - even has a heated outdoor sitting area.

Friendly staff. Great cobs. Beef, Ham or Cheese. All served with fresh salad. Condiments and cutlery provided.Bar snacks are also available. Crisps, nuts scratchings, pretzels and chocolate also available. Too many choices to list. Pork pies for sale and a great choice of drinks. Make you feel like part of the family, regardless if it's your first visit or a regular. Keep up the good work guys.

Amazing, proper pub (not a gastro pub) And they do the best cobs ever...

Great traditional pub with a good choice of beers that does wonderful cobs. The pirk pies were good too

A little oasis in a charming village. Excellent base for walking,cycling or just a cosy pint and a memorable Cob.

Best cobs I have ever tasted and the salad is very fresh must be home grown tastes beautiful and the ale is spot on I would give the Anchor a big 100% 👌

If a cob and a pint is what you want, it's worth going early to get a car parking space as these are rare. The cobs are excellent , I added crisps with mine and a half of scrumpy cider. An absolute delight.

Beautifully located, great food and drink selection.

Old fashioned pub with cold menu of cobs, pork pie salad's etc. really enjoyed my lunch. Great place to go to after a walk with the dog, who is welcome inside.

A beautiful old world pub, great cobs , lovely staff.

Excellent line up of beers and cobs still as good. Two thick slices of brisket in a very fresh cob with ample salad as always. As my companion from Scotland would say 'Marvellous '!

Excellent place for a pint and a cob. Excellent food and lovely selection of beers.

Great little pub service was quick and friendly friendly the beef cobs were excellent just a little trouble parking but worth it

Absolute gem of a place, huge amount of seating outside and all under cover. There are also some heaters to help keep you warm. Sandwiches (cobs) are superb value. Only cheese, beef, or ham but amazing as they are very generous with filling, and the side salad is a meal in itself. Parking can be tricky at busy times but worth a visit and very dog friendly. They have opened up a new car park a few metres down the road for additional parking. Please note this is a cash only venue but there is a card machine inside. But you are better bring cash in case it isn't working.

Top draw cobs . If you know you know .

Great find and fab food.... large well filled cobs!

What a great little pub Dog friendly Heated outdoor space Cob platters really fresh with loads of salad and sauces generously filled cobs Friendly staff Definitely recommend a visit

Lovely chilled pub plenty 🥗 with the cob staff very pleasant

Walked from Kinver & arrived in pouring rain. Quick service and a lad who was doing a good job of keeping tables cleared and tidy.

Decided to have a quick pub lunch. Great old fashioned pub 😄 great cobs and a good selection of ales cider and lager. Staff was very pleasant and helpful.

Superb cobs at a good price. Not much parking though. Still, highly recommended.

Excellent food and drink looking forward to going again soon

Cobs was OK. Whatever you had on it was cut thick. Otherwise, nothing special. We visited at 11.30am and outside tables were very sticky.

Jury is out as it has a good reputation for good cobs. I really don't see the attraction unless you like massive slices of onion.

The outside space is under cover and heated. Cobs and salad severed. Recomwnd a visit.

Went here Sunday afternoon 27th Aug and it was great, as usual. Cobs with great chunks of Beef, Cheese or Ham with rough cut Salad . Served super quick with great selection of drinks to wash it all down. Plenty of seating outside and a canal nearby to walk it all off. Quality place

Good but limited range of beers and ciders, Suburb cobs with large salads . Not expensive and quick service. First time visit but will not be the last.

Fantastic place for a pint and a cob! Plenty of outdoor seating - some under cover and some not. There are also some with heaters. However, you may also turn up and still not be able to get a seat. This is a reflection of just how busy it can be but of how great the place is too. Dogs welcome 🙂 No card payments accepted, however, there is a cash machine inside. The only niggle I have about here is the lack of parking. We do always manage to get parking but it's always a bit of a nightmare 😬

Nice place.... But the Wasps phew 😌

Cobs are amazing. Good value for money really fresh and tasty
