Anchor Rowhedge

Bar & restaurant

Traditional public bar

Remember when pubs had a public bar? The Anchor takes great pride in upholding that old tradition, maintaining a traditional bar, separate from the restaurant.

A friendly welcome

Here you’ll find a warm, informal and friendly atmosphere where you can soak up the warmth of the open fire, join in the conversation at the bar or relive competitive spirits of old with classic pub games.

You’ll also find the finest ales from Shepherd Neame, Britain’s oldest brewer, and an extensive range of wines, spirits and soft drinks to suit every taste.

Drop in for a quick one - or make an evening of it…
