Anchor Inn, Salterforthback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
We wer on a canal holiday and on Saturday 24th Sept 2011 we moored near the Anchor Inn at about 7.30pm. We were hungry and saw that the pub was advertising food, outside & with a blackboard inside. we bought drinks. When we asked if food was available; the landlord/barman smugly replied " we finished at 6" I looked at my wife and said "is he joking?", again I asked, and by this time he was nearly laughing at us. The answer was no. We drunk up and left. I have already reported this to the canal boat owner who recommended the Anchor. We have never been subjected to such indifference and blatent rudeness, he didn't even apologise or advise us wher we could get a meal.

Great lil pub with nice surroundings.The stalagmites/tites NEED to be seen.Realy good atmosphere.I was talking with a young lad 18 and an oldish fella 55 we all had a few beers and a game of cards.Also next to the canal if your a keen fisherman and a caravan site just around the corner.Well worth a vist to this Real Pub.

This pub is alongside the Leeds-Liverpool canal,it was built before the road and bridge outside and when they were built an extra storie had to be built on top of the pub so everything moved up one,the pub was the upstairs,the cellar was the pub but this means an additional cellar,water runs through from the canal and this has formed a "cavern" with stalactites and stalagmites,when I went the landlord took us down and it was floodlit,worth a visit just to see this,it is around 20 years since I went so I cannot speak of the food or drink but I had a excellent home cooked meal there,ideal if you like fishing
