About the Pub
The licensee’s passion to preserve the vibe and history of the traditional English pub is abundantly evident. The pub has won a number of high-profile industry awards which is testimony to the work and effort that has been put into this successful pub.
There's a good selection of real ales, with usually at least one ale from a Kent brewery.
The Anchor is renowned for its acoustic/eclectic music events, which include live music on Sundays, ad hoc shows from international touring artists and an annual music festival. A fun quiz is held every other Thursday.
The function room/Arts Centre is available for hire and is a community resource for use by local people. It hosts a number of clubs and social/charity events including Tai Chi, open mic nights, Pigeon Shows and 2 Ukulele Clubs.
To the side and rear there's a very large garden where the Bat & Trap and Petanque pitches are located together with an outside stage.
Although the pub is not fully-disabled friendly, ramps provide access to the pub and garden and the toilet is accessible.
There is limited parking in the front of the pub, a free public car park across the road and ample on-street parking. The Anchor is also adjacent to a bus stop with a regular service to Canterbury and Sandwich.
