The Anchor

All round we rated the Anchor at Pyrford Lock highly. The location right beside the canal was lovely. The food was nicely cooked and reasonably prices. Also the beer was cheaper than many other local hostelries. Table service if you eat inside and if eating outside then you need to order at the bar quoting your table number. At lunch times it does get crowded so get there before 12.30 to ensure you get a table. highly recommended.No public transport so if going by car the pub/restaurant has 2 car parks both free for diners. Be warned if approaching from Pyrford village end there is a very narrow bridge across the canal that is extremely tight for cars to get through.we have seen several get scrapped by not judging the gap correctly.

The Anchor is in a picturesque location right besides the canal. In the warm weather there is lots of outside seating so you can watch as the canal boats enter and leave Pyrford Lock.the food is a good quality although the choice is limited. Prices are reasonable. If eating inside table service or outside you need to order at the bar and give your table number. They serve a good pint of Tanglefoot and Badger Real ale. It can get crowded at peaks so you may have to wait.
