The Anchor

About

Situated within the heart of the vibrant yachting town of Cowes on the Isle of Wight, The Anchor is a favourite with locals and visitors alike. Located opposite Cowes Yacht Haven, just a short stroll from the Red Jet ferry terminal which provides regular crossings to and from mainland England, The Anchor is the ideal place to relax within a warm, friendly atmosphere.

A public house has stood on the site for over 300 years. In 1704 the Debourne Estate leased some land on which The Anchor now stands. It became known as the 'House of the Three Trumpeters' and soon became the principle Coaching Inn of Cowes. Sometime during the 1820's the name changed to 'The Anchor Inn' by which it has been known ever since. The nautical reference is fitting for a pub so near the sea where sailors from around the world meet to share their tales.

Open all year round, The Anchor offers a wide selection of home cooked pub favourites and daily specials using locally sourced produce. The chef’s homemade ‘proper pie’ has become a firm favourite with visitors as well as the Fuggle Dee Dum Beer Battered Cod. Catering for all dietary requirements and tastes, The Anchor offers an excellent selection of meat, seafood, vegetarian, vegan and gluten free dishes all freshly made to order.
