Autumn has officially arrived at The Anchor 🍂🔥

The fire’s lit, the pumpkins are out and the pub is feeling extra cosy. There’s nothing quite like an old village pub, a proper open fire and a pint on an autumn day. ❤️🍺

Come in, get comfy and stay a while. ⚓️🍁

We’re sorry to share the sad news that our dear friend Wilf passed away peacefully on 9th September. ❤️

Wilf was a good friend of ours for many years — a long-time regular at The Swan and, a much-loved regular here at The Anchor.

Wilf’s funeral will take place at Hemel Hempstead Crematorium on Monday 28th September at 11.30am.

Afterwards, if you knew Wilf and would like to join us at The Anchor to raise a Guinness, a port, or whatever your favourite tipple may be in his memory, we would absolutely love to see you.

Let’s give a lovely man the send-off he deserves and share a few stories and memories together.

Rest easy, Wilf ❤️

Running a pub is pretty much a 7-day-a-week, 18-hour-a-day job, and getting away can normally feel impossible!

So a huge thank you to our amazing Anchor team for holding the fort and making it possible for us to have a much-needed weekend away. ❤️⚓️

And an extra special thank you to Sarah Twiggy Davis who really stepped up this weekend and made it possible for us to switch off, relax and know The Anchor was in safe hands. It meant more than you probably realise. 🥰

We might be the landlords, but The Anchor certainly isn’t just us. It takes a team to keep this little pub ticking — and we’re very lucky to have ours.

Thank you, Team Anchor. ❤️ ###x we appreciate you ❤️
