East Anglia Restaurants

Anchor Inn

The Anchor Inn is located in an idyllic spot, on the picturesque banks of the River Stour, overlooking the pub's kitchen garden and fields where their own animals graze. There's plenty of seating either inside the pub or in the restaurant, while the terrace and the benches along the river are positively delightful.

When about to write this piece I thought it might be appropriate to commence something like, "should anybody out there be about to start writing a book on eccentric pubs, they might do a lot worse than to list The Angel at Larling".

ASK - Billericay

For some time I made the mistake of thinking that no group of restaurants in the region of 200 locations could hope to maintain the quality for which I was looking.
