Great pub, great staff and great customers. Decent prices. My partner and I turned up on our bikes with only our phones hoping to use Apple Pay. The pub didn’t accept card so we had no way of getting cash out but we’d already been served our drinks. The staff explained it wasn’t an issue but to return another day with the correct money but a local customer covered our costs instead! It’s a shame there is no card machine but if we’d had our cards on us there is a free cash point over the road.
Aaaah.....what do you say about the Anchor....?? Great Wakering has a number of pubs. They all have there regulars. They all have their good and bad points. We're fairly neutral as it goes, so depending on weather, food, football, where we walk the dog... we tend to drift about. The Anchor, is a really nice pub. Lots of money was spent a few years ago to revamp.... It has had many owners since then..and that kinda tells the story. The pub "should" do really well, given its location to the "posh" end of GW, but it just never does. The problem is, its always attracted the wrong type..... now, dont get me wrong. I'm far from posh, but I do expect to be able to have a nice drink and maybe a meal, without having to listen to skanky drunks swearing and cursing in front of everyone. The pub us set out for families with the very good garden area. But, if the same people keep going in there, it doesn't matter who the management is.....it will always fail to attract the numbers. Its a real shame, but I think its indicitive of most rural pubs.....we will visit it, on occasion, but we wouldn't make an effert to go there. I really wish the latest, new, owners all the best, truely......but a reputation is a hard thing to change.........
