Adnams Ales with a Sea View

The Anchor is a relaxed gastropub on the south cliff at Southwold, with views across the common to the sea. The pub is owned by Adnams Brewery and serves their full range alongside guest ales, wines from their own wine merchants and spirits from their own distillery.

Dogs are welcome in the bar area and on the terrace. The garden overlooks Southwold Common and the sea beyond. The kitchen serves excellent food using local Suffolk ingredients, with an emphasis on fish and seafood.

Southwold beach is a 5-minute walk away and allows dogs year-round on the main beach. The pub is the perfect start or finish to a beach walk.
