Property details
The Anchor is situated in the charming southeast Essex village of Canewdon, our pub stands as the beloved gathering spot for locals and visitors alike, drawn by a substantial food offering. The village boasts picturesque countryside surroundings and traditional village amenities. One of the notable landmarks in Canewdon is St. Nicholas Church, which dates back to the 12th century, this can sometimes provide catering opportunities to the pub. Canewdon enjoys good road connections, with the A130 just a short drive away. This major road provides access to nearby towns and cities, including Southend-on-Sea and Chelmsford. Rochford Station is approximately a 15-minute drive away and provides direct trains to and from London Liverpool Street, making it easily accessible for customers.
Boasting a good size, The Anchor features two inviting bar areas, one accessed from the street at the front, and another being accessed via a rear entrance. The bar areas have beautiful back-to-back open fires and the pub is packed full of traditional features and wooden beams. The trade kitchen is located immediately behind the bar, giving easy access for food to be served in all areas of the pub. In addition to the two bar areas, there is also a cosy restaurant boasting both fixed and loose seating for an uninterrupted dining experience.
The large and enclosed rear patio and car park can be accessed from both the centre of the pub and the restaurant. With a rear car park accommodating around 8 vehicles and ample on-street parking, accessibility is never an issue for patrons.
