Get Everyone Together
From private dinners and family get-togethers to parties and celebrations, we’ve got the space to make it yours.

Right on the banks of the River Stour, The Anchor is all about for good food, cold drinks and time together. Paddle up the river and stop off for lunch, grab a table by the water for a pint, or bring the whole family down for dinner. Come by river, road or on foot – there’s always a reason to make a stop at The Anchor.

Our menus are all about the food you want to eat at the pub. Familiar favourites, seasonal specials and plenty for the whole table, all cooked with good ingredients and served without the fuss. Come hungry, find a table and tuck in.


Grab a cold pint, find a spot in the sun and watch the river go by. The bar’s stocked with well-kept beers and local favourites, alongside a good line-up of wines, spirits and something chilled for when the sun’s out.

There’s plenty to explore around Nayland, from riverside walks along quiet country lanes to getting out on the water. Bring a paddleboard or kayak and follow the Stour, explore the Suffolk countryside on foot, then make your way back to The Anchor for something to eat and a well-earned pint.

Catch up with recent articles exploring our region, its food, its landscape and the things happening close to home.
