The current building was built to replace the Blue Anchor (demolished in the 1920s) in this idyllic coastal village. Comprising of three cosy rooms with wood panelling plus a 50 seater restaurant run by the innovative chef, Sophie, continuing their commitment for linking beer with food. The third room doubles as a family room. Walker and dog friendly. Apart from Adnams beers there is an extensive real bottled beer selection from around the world. The pub is accessible from Southwold via the footbridge.

Note

Blue is a heraldic colour of hope. The spare anchor at sea was often known as the hope anchor. "Anker" can also relate to a measurement of 8.5 gallons.
