A traditional country pub with a warm welcome, The Anchor Inn offers a fine selection of cask ales and fresh, home-cooked food. Set in the beautiful village of Nayland, open fires and a cosy atmosphere make the Anchor a wonderful winter bolthole, and the banks of the River Stour provide glorious al fresco dining throughout the summer months.

A fantastic & delicious lunch out with my book club. We all enjoyed a 3 course meal. Every single dish was incredible & so full of flavour. We were also lucky enough to enjoy the Christmas market whilst we were there too, which made our experience wonderfully festive & wholesome. We will be back again soon no doubt!
