Quick info
About The Anchor
The Anchor is a pub and restaurant on Quay Street in Woodbridge, set right on the quayside and catering to both walkers-in and diners. The kitchen focuses on classic pub plates, with Sunday roast and Yorkshire pudding as a weekly centrepiece alongside lighter choices such as chicken wings with fries, prawns and cheesy chips. Portions run large, and the pricing sits at the fairer end of the local scale. Dogs are welcome inside, making it a common stop for those walking along the waterfront with their pets. The space follows a traditional pub layout, with drinks and food running through the day in a single, relaxed room overlooking the quay.

“First rate east Anglian pub. Serves salty pints (intended compliment)”
- LJ Farrell
“I got the chicken wings with fries, and my friend got the prawns and cheesy chips - we were both blown away at the value for money, the portions were really generous! Service was friendly, kind and charming. As we left, I had forgotten my sunglasses, and one of the staff, Freya, ran after us to give them back to me! Amazing experience, thank you to the great team!”
