The Blue Anchor
The Blue Anchor is a super spot to ‘moor up’ for a few hours - with locally sourced ingredients and freshly cooked food, delicious drinks and friendly service on offer.
With the pub close to Ashdown Forest and set within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it’s the perfect place for walkers to find respite and refreshment - and it’s a dining destination in its own right too, thanks to our homemade food.
A warm welcome!
The Blue Anchor has a great wine selection here, and a number of superb ales from Britain’s oldest brewer, Shepherd Neame.
You can cosy up with your pint by one of two real fires, or head out into the spacious garden and patio when the sun shines. You’ll still be able to pick up the wifi signal outside, so a working lunch is a distinct possibility!
In summer, you can hold a garden party or barbecue - or hire space inside for parties, celebrations and wedding receptions all year round.
In the 18th century, the pub was said to be the resort of smugglers, poachers and other lawless inhabitants - but now, you’re greeted by a somewhat friendlier crowd!
