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.

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 ๐Ÿคฃ 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 ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿคฃ 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 โ˜บ๏ธ

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.

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 ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

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.

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.

They were delicious with a great selection,something for everyone and so much ...we were grazing and nibbling and drinking and laughing in the sun for hours. It was perfect !!!! Thankyou again for the wonderful food and amazing staff who are always so polite and helpful .
