“ Good place to stop during canal walk. friendly staff, god beer, nice food. Not a lot to choose in menu tho. Price are good. Thank you. Free but small car park. From the pub you can go for nice canal walks. Beautiful place . ”
“ Good beer, gorgeous food and a great venue! My wife booked an evening table at The Anchor Inn, Salterforth for four of us to eat and drink and celebrate my birthday. The host Brian, our waitress Harriet and chef Dan made our night very enjoyable. Service was friendly and engaging (without being imposing), and the food was particularly worthy of praise. Two of us ate the Short rib of beef with English ale pie, and I found it incredibly tasty; the crust was delightfully thin, the gravy was rich and beery, the shallots and mushrooms were yummy, and the beef was tender & succulent. I ate a steak and ale pie elsewhere the week before, and whilst that was tasty, this one was finer by far! The accompanying chunky chips & vegetables were also delicious - this coming from a person who normally avoids vegetables; Chantenay carrots (I think) and an incredibly moreish tangy & semi-sweet red cabbage. The cabbage was a revelation for a veg-avoider like me (I originally thought it was some caramelised red onion), and our host Brian explained it was the way the cabbage was braised with pear. I've never tasted veg like it, and I liked it so much I was given a small container of it to take home, and was emailed the recipe from chef Dan - what better service can you get? Our other halves had a lovely-looking burger with chips, and a handsome portion of fish & chips, and they both also really enjoyed their meals. My pal and I each had a dessert; he ate the brownie whilst I had the toffee / treacle pudding (I thought it was toffee but my wife though it was more gingery). A great place to eat sumptuous food. We'll be back again soon as I next want to try the pan-friend chicken with pesto penne! ”
“ Lovely pub, unfortunately the draft beer wasn't on which is a shame as they have 3 great options. Opted for a brew, and we also ordered 2 hot chocolates, all too milky, very little chocolate in the hot chocolates, real shame as it is a great pub. ”
“ A very beautiful pub Nice and relaxing. Friendly staff and good prices. Just want you need after a walk ”
“ A lovely canal-side pub. We had lunch, which was excellent. We sat outside and used the table ordering service to limit contact. Drinks were served quickly and the food followed shortly after. I had the sirloin sandwich which looked and tasted great. Served with chips, this was a good lunch. Staff were friendly. ”
“ Really lovely traditional little pub right on the canal to start walks from, Good amount of seating and swift service at the bar for food and drink ordering. Loaded fries were well presented and a great lighter bite good aray of non alcoholic drinks ”
“ Friendly local pub. Just stopped for a drink after a long walk along the canal. Great little spot to begin walks (car park across the road) with a lovely beverage at the end. Interesting pub with stalagmites and stalactites in the basement (not that I saw them). Will visit again! ”
