The Anchor Inn Boating - Lewes

Me and family were having lunch at the Anchor Inn on Saturday 16th September 2023, the pub have a dog friend policy. The Pub have their own dog walking around the grounds freely, my 3 year old went to stroke the dog it turn to bite him. I went inside to speak to the bar staff explained what happened i asked them to take their dog inside, their response was “i’ll try”, no apology, nothing. 2 minutes later the dog is continuing to walk freely outside, with children outside. I then sat down asked to speak to the manager who then came over to the table, i spoke about the situation he apologised and took the dog away, there was no worry or empathy, he didn’t ask how my Son was, seeming not bothered. Very poor from the place.

A great hidden gem to sit back in the beautiful Sussex countryside. Food was lovely and stunning setting sitting right next to the river. Plenty of parking and outside seating. It was our first visit and won't be our last, lovely to find a proper country pub. Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5

Stunning setting... just wish they had more/better planet animal-friendly (vegan) options. So sad that in this day age they couldn't even offer a coffee with plant milk. Come on team Anchor Inn, you can should do better! Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3

I wish to visit this pub for some time, we chose a beautiful sunny day and when we arrived there, there were not many people so we were able to get a table overlooking the river to enjoy our drinks, it is a very beautiful picturesque pub that serves food, lots of parking and boat rental, we went for a short walk along the river bank, fun day.

Unbelievable place ... the best time boat trip on the river .. amazing beer and food could not recommend enough!! Been a few times over the years, Can not wait, back .. Very friendly staff:
