The Anchor Inn — Restaurant in Wyre Forest

What a lovely little gem off the beaten track. i cycled and drove past here many times without even knowing the Holy Grail of pub cobs existed, until i saw a van saying "The Anchor, No cobs are kept in this van overnight"

after asking a few friends the shock on their face was real when they found out I'd never been.

so one Saturday a friend and I decided to talk a long walk up the canal, through a country lane as to feel the reward inside with more appreciation.

the cobs: INCREDIBLE... beef so succulent, Ham so salty and divine, Cheese, could be used as a weapon. the tasty cobs come with a months worth of fresh salad, you can even choose some lovely pickles, piccalilli or chutney (locally sourced from bewdley)

pork pie: is one enough?

the pub: its old school so dont expect all your fancy stuff but its got everything needed to was down 2 cobs. i like a carling, and this tasted like it was true Burton water itself, lovely pint. when asking for a pint of orance juice, only the bricvic in a tiny bottle was presented so that was a tad overpriced.

overall: do it, go, go on! the staff are great, friendly and smiling, and the place is spotless. so many staff around cleaning and keeping it looking nice and the pub has that 'old pub' feel to it which i love. just remember its CASH ONLY they do have a cash machine but just fore warning you.

you wont regret a visit...

This is a great little pub and when I’m back in the area which is often it’s a must do! Been coming here 40 years and the cobs have always been amazing a pint or two and a couple of cheese cobs perfect . BUT after all of these years yesterday’s cheese cobs were very disappointing, clearly the cheese they use normally has been swapped for something far inferior, a very sad day. One of the group said perhaps they are trying to save money but these are the same price as the others but as I pointed out it’s a cheaper filling and you get less cheese than beef in the cob. Yes I could perhaps have a different cob but that’s not the point. It’s still a fantastic little pub but the shine has been taken off it …. Bring back the good cheese…. Bring back the good...
