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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!!

Had a Sunday lunch here as reviews looked good and the dinner looked nice on website photo. Very disappointed as it looked nothing like the photo on the website. No home made Yorkshire pudding as stated on menu it was frozen as was the roasters! Menu said fluffy mash we didn't get any mash at all. Would not recommend for food at all.
