The Anchor is a Sam Smiths tied pub which means that the normal protocols of drinking do not apply. If you want draught ale then it is Old Brewery bitter. No guest beers are served. If you want lager then it is Sam Smiths lager that you get. The upside of Sam Smiths pubs is the price. Bitter is £2 a pint, lager is £2.30. The result is that the pub is always busy.
The landlord is also very friendly and welcoming which must contribute to the popularity of the Anchor. The rooms are tiny with traditional seating round the walls and shelves packed with books. As with any good local pub we were soon engaged in conversation by the regulars including a retired steeplejack who claimed to be 81 but who looked as fit as a fiddle.
Anyone who is visiting Guisborough should seek out the Anchor Inn where they will find a warm welcome and cheap, well kept beer. The perfect combination.
Awesome review glad you had a lovely visit.
ReplyDeleteSince time in memorium I have been a regular in this public house. Sampling the beers and lagers since 1984. If you have a bit of a thirst on then get yourself in for a nice pint of taddys or double 4. Or maybe a nice sumptuous pint of bitter or stout. Bring your dog �� in too or your horse �� or camel. Everyone's welcome even Teresa May.
