A great hidden gem to sit back in the beautiful Sussex countryside. Food was lovely and stunning setting sitting right next to the river. Plenty of parking and outside seating. It was our first visit and won't be our last, lovely to find a proper country pub.
This little pub is in a beautiful setting in the middle of nowhere, drinks by the river or u could go for a boat ride prices for an hour are £8.00 per adult £4.oo per child lunhes look amazing prices are a little high but sizes of the meals make it worth ever penny lovely atmosphere inside pub. Nice staff. We will definitely go back this time we will have something to eat .
I love this place. From the beautiful location, to the excellent food to the fact you can hire out a row boat to paddle down the river; this place is perfect for anyone looking for an out of the way pub in the stunning countryside to meet with friends, family, or just to take the kids out. Would highly recommend.
I love this pub. It's in a lovely part of Sussex for a walk, the pub has great staff, excellent food & you can hire small boats to go up the adjoining river. Would recommend to anyone
We randomly ended up at the anchor inn whilst driving around looking for a pint, and couldn't have been more surprised to find this little gem. A long one way track down we weren't expecting much but we found a bustling pub with a large front and back garden that backs onto the river, where you can rent boats out hourly. The food was decent, the staff were really friendly and helpful even with the big crowds enjoying the sun and there were plenty of seats to accommodate. There are also plenty of nice walks surrounding which you might as well enjoy whilst you're there, we will certainly be returning.

Beautiful experience at The Anchor Inn. Olly was our waiter and very pleasant to talk too!
A very cosy relaxing atmosphere . There is also a boating lake where you can hire boats and row your troubles away.

It was closed when we visited but I'd like to come back because it's beautiful. Even has it's own boats by the river at the rear of the building.
It's located way off the beaten track but we'll worth a visit.
A beautiful pub in a beautiful setting. I came with a friend on a glorious Sunday lunchtime and enjoyed some lovely food whilst sitting on the benches watching the very well behaved dogs wander around. We then moved to enjoy an ice cream whilst sitting at the high bar looking out over the river. It felt like I was on holiday! It was fun to watch all the boaters come and go, especially when the English bulldog almost fell in the water, poor thing! I can't wait to return to this hidden gem!
Always a delightful pub by the river. Obviously, better on sunny dry days. I recommend the boat hire for a little 'messing about on the river'. It's also a great wedding venue. On my most recent visit (Sept 2023), the food was 'OK', but expensive for pub grub.
Really nice pub by the river! The staff were friendly too. I would say they could’ve had a better beer selection on draft.
