The Anchor is an award-winning inn and restaurant-with-rooms. We are fortunate to be in the charming village of Walberswick across the footbridge from the market town of Southwold.
We want to create a village local that is both family friendly and a welcome retreat for all who enjoy good conversation, food and drink.
Great effort is put into enthusiastically sourcing fine ingredients, local and global beers as well as flavoursome characterful wines.
Our ten bedrooms including six spacious eco-clad cedar garden chalets, offer a bolthole for relaxation and the beach on your doorstep.
The flint barn at the side of the Anchor is perfect private parties, events, conferences and celebrations. It has underfloor heating as well as a drop-down screen and projector for business meetings. It is often put to good use in the cause of village-based charity fundraising projects as well as our August beer festival and numerous art exhibitions.
Salut
Sophie & Mark Dorber.

Came to the pub for Sunday lunch, Absolutely fantastic! They accommodated us when they were very busy during Christmas time, the staff were really friendly & polite, our drinks and food turned up fast and as soon as we finished each course! We had duck liver pate for starter which is so fresh n' creamy I highly recommend also the cheese burger & roast partridge crown for our mains was delicious although slightly under cooked! Would come here again for sure, not a huge amount of parking being Walberswick unfortunately, but is easily accessible in the village, very clean countryside aesthetic
Staying in the village for a week we had Sunday lunch and two other weekday lunches at the Anchor. Food was fabulous every meal. The menu was not huge but there were many dishes that we wanted to choose. We have two dogs that were made very welcome. The staff team were all very friendly without being over bearing. Lovely log fires, table decorations and candles gave the pub a wonderful feel. We recommend a meal here.
Very friendly welcome. Only dropped in for a drink while out for a walk. We were so comfortable in front of a log fire we ordered from the menu. The cod loin and chips with very smooth mushy pees and creamy tartar sauce were the very best I have had in a restaurant. The sherry truffle was also delicious. Old world charm in historic pub. Large eating areas, which will be very busy in the season.
Decent food, although the vegetarian option felt like an after thought - only one option on the dinner menu and it was quite bland. My partner enjoyed their meaty meal though. Lovely location and good service.
We had a lovely couple of meals here recently. The setting was lovely, and we sat out in the marquee area with our dog. The staff were wonderfully friendly, informative, and genuinely enthusiastic about their menu! Plenty of options on the menu, and the food was perfect! The drinks options were plentiful and the cocktails were interesting and different. We all ordered different dishes / beers / cocktails, so we could try as much as possible and then returned the next day to have their Fish n Chips for a late lunch. This didn't disappoint- the fish was thick, moist, and not oily. The chips were perfectly crunchy on the outside and fluffly on the inside. I can't recommend this place enough and Walberswick is a great place to visit. Thanks to all the team but especially Vivienne, Simon, Cam for making it such a memorable evening. Hope to visit again soon!
