We returned to The Anchor on Sunday, Mother's Day. We were not disappointed. The Masterbrew was one of the tastiest pints I have had, it was really well cared for (It only has to travel about 200 yards!). The food was lovely. What you saw was what you got. The prices were good for the offerings. I had the chicken liver pate. It was superb, accompanied by a lovely salad garnish and very fresh bread. My WIfe had crawfish and prawn cocktail. That was a real winner. Roast chicken, pork and beef was all good. The potatoes were divine. Thanks for a great lunch.

The beer at the Scottish Beer Festival was warm. However, I managed a few pints on Thursday before they warmed up and found them to be really nice. I am not a beer snob, but some cooling will be required before the next festival. The beers on pump were the proper temperature and very good. Thanks for running the festival. I don't only go for the beer, the regulars are a lovely, welcoming bunch of interesting people. Now, you can't say that about many pubs in Croydon!

I visited with friends on Sunday for a pre-prandial drink. The town looked lovely as we drove through. The buildings got older and older as we drove down Abbey St. They were charming. Lots of parking at the end. We walked along the river first and saw some amazing Thames Barges. Lots of local trades going on. The surroundings and sun whetted our thirsts. We were not disappointed. The Sheperds was great. Sadly, I was driving and stopped at a half. The menu looked good and I will return with the family for a proper lunch.

A party of six visited this pub for Sunday lunch. The landlord, Mitch, and his staff were really welcoming. The beer was very good and at a good temperature. The food was good. The best was the Thai Style Sea Bass. The roasts were average but the portions were large and the veg was very tasty. Puddings were big and lovely. The garden was welcoming and they allow well behaved pets there and in the pub. There are two enormous inglenook fireplaces, one of which was roaring with two sofas infront of it. I would happily return and do recommend this pub.

The Five Pointed Star, West Malling
My wife and I ate here at lunchtime on a recent Bank Holiday. Good food at very reasonable prices. I returned today and had the Cheddar Ploughmans. It was quality. For once, there was a heap of bread and almost too much cheese, salad was nice as was the IPA. Thanks.
