The Anchor enjoys a fabulous location in Beer and me and my family sat in the beer garden on many a day on our week's holiday in Beer enjoying the view and a pint. However the prices are pretty steep. Also, noticed not as many people eating this year. Could this have something to do with the fact that the... More
