Closed and has been for a while - is it not possible to remove pubs from the guide - or put them into an archive section?

real shame it shut - amazing food here :( is an import/export company now I think....
|
Still closed. But the building is still vacant at present.
|
Pub has now been sold by Hall and Woodhouse and will be developed into offices.
|
As of April 2011, the Crown and Anchor appears to be closed.

Used to be my fave pub in Wimborne while Paul McCloughlin was at the helm (which was why it was in the GBG for 10 years). Then it fell apart for six months under completely clueless new folks who, thankfully, were replaced by the couple from the Churchill Arms. More foody but no complaints from me. When they left it turned (effectively) into a chinese restaurant with, at best, average beer. Their A Board suggested that they were in the GBG when they were not! FORTUNATELY, the C & A has reverted to a proper pub in recent months. A warm welcome and decent beer. Praise the lord for the new guys! Long may this continue!

This Pub is great, good food clean and very tidy as it has been refurbished recently. Food is very good as well. New Management have done wonders Aug 2010.
|
This pub is under new management and has just undergone a refurbishment- The Grand Opening is on the 1st May 2010 cant wait to have a proper local xxx
|
Sadly another casualty and this pub is now shut
|
I took the family for sunday lunch here a couple of weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed the food, roast lamb with everything inc. yorkshire pudding, its only downside is badger beers.
|
The food here is very good. Home cooked, decent portions, good quality. Nice to find they will do childrens portions of the regular menu so they get to eat proper food as well. Although it is on the main road there are some tables by the river that are pleasant in the summer.
As ever for a Wimborne pub I just wish they would offer a decent guest beer and not restrict the choice to Badger. If they did I would drop in for a pint as it is my local!

I was very impressed with this pub on my first visit and have made sure it was not my last. Good food, and the menu had a varied selection. The beer is well kept and the friendly atmosphere is equal on both sides of the bar. Wish I'd found it earlier.

Bridget and Bob have turned Crown and Anchor into our second home. Well kept beer, outstanding food and a always a warm welcome. The best pub in Wimborne says Todd.

The pub has changed hands in last few months and greatly improved. Very well kept Badger Best and Sussex. Friendly staff and excellent atmosphere - certainly one of the better pubs in Wimborne for those looking for a "real" pub.
