The Anchor
The Anchor is a gastropub located by the river Crouch known for its inventive British and fusion dishes served in an airy space with a large garden and terrace. The menu includes several vegan dishes such as a vegan burger, beetroot falafels, and a vegan roast on Sundays, though some vegan items have mixed reviews regarding authenticity. Outdoor private pods are a standout for relaxed dining with river views, and gluten-free options are available. Pricing is mid-range to somewhat high, with some reviewers mentioning expensive drinks and food, especially outdoors.
