| Well,when visited the place was full,but the beer ..urgh. It took them three attempts to provide a pint ,as the first two (different local ales) were ends of the barrel and cloudy and third was poor due to pipes not clean. I was in the company of a beer brewer and he was not complimentary about this. jeffdaff - 5 Feb 2010 12:48 |

| I went to the blue anchor earlier this week and whilst quite in there found the place to be very comfortable and relaxed with a lovely young chap behind the bar. The day time telly aspect is a bug bear of mine and one of the reasons i avoid the bulls head, but as long as the garden is open at the BA i can always enjoy a good ale. Keep it up. ( but maybe not the day time rubbish) Gideon69 - 2 Oct 2009 12:09 |
| Hi - Clueless Kent Management Company here!! Lucky I am not too sensitive! 1. This pub IS under a temporary management contract. We were brought in by the bank that has finished up owning it. However, do not believe for one minute that I would do this if I neither liked nor believed in the site. That would be a waste of effort. I would like to acquire the site but clearly that is subject to some financial and property issues. Until that point, no white knights are going to throw huge amounts of capital into a temporary rental situation. Any limited investment made already has been done by me at my risk. 2. I cannot comment on what went before 1st June. However, I assume that I was not approached on thee sites because the previous people were so successful. 3. I will look at the prices on food. We have not made a central pronouncement but our Operations managers do have discretion. 4. Regarding TV's, I do not want pubs showing Jerry Springer in the day. Our normal procedures are to show sport and (silent) news or sports news day time. I will reinforce this with the managers. Jury is out on X Factor Saturdays!! 5. I will pass your comments on to the managers to ensure that we are clear on standards. 6. You will understand that life is not easy in this sector. Volumes across the UK are falling at a rate of 8-10% per annum. Retail generally is difficult - take a look at Reigate High St. Everyday have-a-drink pubs are struggling and the only gains are being made by the gastro sector. Still, it would be a crime for this lovely old pub to get converted to residence and I think it extremely unlikely that will happen. I appreciate your feedback. Thanks wiggymupp - 1 Oct 2009 13:24 |
| Sorry to disappoint the other reviewers but I am neither a staff member or a mate of the new management at the Blue Anchor. I called in there again last saturday,it was packed in the evening with a great atmosphere with nobody watching the small screen tv's discreetly installed in two corners so a distraction they are not,the background music was loud enough to hear but not overpowering,if you want loud music try the red cross with its live bands!!the garden with its subtle lighting was being enjoyed by many even in the rain! Yes the pub does look out onto a wonderful cricket pitch but the season has finished!Looking forward to enjoying a drink next summer in the garden with a match being played.If true Reigatians enjoy their cricket then this is the place to be. If you don't like this pub thats your perogative but other people do so lets have a bit of respect for your obvious competition. bottletop - 27 Sep 2009 16:02 |
