The Anchor Inn - Swale

Lovely shepherd neame pub with amazing history Price per person: £1–10 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

What a fabulous old traditional pub The Anchor is. Beautifully decorated in estate colours and furnished like a country house with mahogany, sideboards, solid wood tables, and Harley Quinn chairs. The stone and brick floors slightly uneven in keeping with the building of such age. My wife and I had booked in for dinner, as we had done Many times before, and were met by the charming and very professional Mark and Paige, who showed us to our table, already laid up with rush mats and quality cutlery. Our waiter Isaac was well presented, polite and charming. We ordered our drinks which were delivered in quick time, accompanied with warm, crusty bread, and an olive and balsamic dip. My wife ordered the cod loin with a crumb crust and seasonal vegetables whilst I plumbed for the stuffed pheasant breast in a creamy mushroom sauce, wrapped in bacon, with fresh vegetables and roasted new potatoes. Again we didn’t have to wait long before our beautifully presented dinner was laid before us. The food was perfectly cooked, Hot and delicious. Helpings were plentiful and left us with little space to sample the delicious puddings that were on offer. All the food is home prepared to order by a very good chef and the entire evening was extremely pleasant while our needs were attended to at all times. My wife and I would highly recommend this superb pub, which is clearly the hub of the community at the standard Quay end of Faversham, one of the most amazing mediaeval towns in England.

We only popped in for a drink but will 100% be going back for food. The food we did see, looked incredible ! Fire was roaring a perfect stop off for a pint and cheeky G T

I arrived at 12 exactly on a Friday and asked for bar food, they couldn’t accommodate, as the chef was toooooo busy! It’s advertised as food from 12 3 , I suggest anyone who expects a normal kitchen to operate with walk ins, rings ahead or goes elsewhere it’s a shame nice looking pub on the quay and staff were nice enough Shepherd Neame, this is home ground , and one of your top pubs! …… what’s going on ?

Polite and warm welcome, The menu was extensive and we were spoilt for choice, our starters arrived and exceeded expectations this continued with mains and the dessert A must for people that like good food We will be returning
