The London Restaurant Review

Blue Anchor - out of town pub - Press Release

The Blue Anchor has been a popular inn for over 150 years and the ancient beams testify to its age. The 18th century building has throughout history been a convenient and favourite meeting place for local associations and clubs.

Tadworth has many beautiful places to walk before resting your weary limbs and unwinding at the Blue Anchor. A stroll through the Box Hill estate, 1200 acres of beautiful countryside managed by the National Trust, is not to be missed. Polesden Lacey, near Dorking, is also well worth a visit. This stunning manor with opulent Edwardian interiors is set in elegant gardens and landscaped park. Not far is Denbies Vineyard which is the biggest in England and has a number of tours all year round, catering for all weather.

Guests will be able to browse a new menu which includes a wide variety of freshly prepared classic pub dishes such as Slow Cooked Shoulder of Lamb, daily fresh fish dishes and Homemade Pie of the Day.  There is also a separate lunch menu offering freshly made sandwiches and salads, perfect if you’re just nipping in for a quick bite. 

Look out for the blackboard showing today’s specials, and the thoughtfully selected range of delicious vegetarian options.

There is an extensive wine selection to compliment the menu as well as a variety of continental lagers.  There is no need to book, just come in and we'll look after you.

The Blue Anchor boasts a stylish new interior which adds to the traditional charm and character of the building. Features include roaring open fires, low beam ceilings and several cosy areas to relax in. Guests will get great, friendly service in a relaxed atmosphere.
