The Anchor

The Anchor Coastal Inns & Taverns Ltd. The Anchor is situated at the very heart of the Cowes Yachting scene. The name changed to the 'Anchor Inn' in the 1820's.
(685)

Opposite the Cowes Yacht Haven and only a short walk from the Red Jet terminal it is the ideal place to relax after a hard day on the waves. The Anchor offers you good food, good ale and a warm welcome throughout the year. In 1704 the Debourne Estate in Cowes leased the land called St Mary's mead on which the Anchor now stands, for 99 years to one Ladowyke Brandenburg, a victualler. Called the 'House of the Three Trumpeters' it became the principle coaching inn of Cowes. Traditional Ales and hearty fare make the Anchor a fine place to eat. Open all year round and offering a choice of daily specials from the blackboard, the Anchor is always full of atmosphere. Summertime eat outside in the stable yard; Winter draw in by the blazing fire and wile away a few hours. For more information please visit our website and we hope you'll visit us soon.

SATURDAY IN COWES… AND IT’S A BUSY ONE! 🍻😂

The 44 Cup is on ⛵
There’s a massive 17th-century Spanish galleon chilling down on the Parade 🚢🇪🇸

Basically, Cowes has decided it’s having a party… so you might as well join in.

🍔 Kitchen open ALL DAY for when the inevitable “I’m starving” kicks in.

Then tonight…

⚽️ ENGLAND 🏴 VS SPAIN 🇪🇸 – 7.45PM

And once the football’s done, it’s time to swap the chanting for dancing as Johnny Longwood & The Buntymen take over! 🎸🕺

Come for the football.
Stay for the music.
Stay even longer because someone’s bought another round. 🍻

Let’s get MOOOOOVING! 🐄😂

🐻💜 TEAM TEDDY & PARKINSON’S CHARITY QUIZ 💙

Join us at The Anchor on 29th October from 7pm for a fun quiz night raising money for two very special causes. 💙

🐻 Team Teddy was inspired by amazing 4-year-old Teddy Ward, who lives with Mitochondrial Disease. The team is fundraising to support The Lily Foundation in their work towards finding a cure and supporting families affected by the condition.

💙 Parkinson’s UK is another cause very close to home. Anita was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in late 2025 and completed the Ultra in May 2026. Now, in May 2027, it’s her husband Nick’s turn to take on the challenge — and anyone who knows him knows this is going to be some challenge! 😅
Come along, get your team together and help us raise some much-needed funds. 🙌

📅 29th October
⏰ 7pm
