"The Anchor is in many ways your typical English pub it is a welcoming and friendly place and the interior is well decorated giving a warm atmosphere. However it not a particularly family orientated place and you don 't see many young children here. This pub is fairly large when you compare it to others, which makes it good if you are desperate for a seat as there are plenty! There are also a few pool tables at the back, as well as a typical fruit machine, and it is a popular place for both adults and students alike to relax in at any time of the day. Every Monday this pub puts on a pound a pint night, which for one night a week attracts a much more studenty crowd and with cheap prices what can you expect! Also to cater for students, they offer a cheap menu with deals such as 'two meals for £5.50 ', making it an easy option to eat in! Students and the general public who are 18+ are catered for well. I personally find going to this pub a pleasurable and enjoyable experience, and on a Monday night it is great fun if you and your friends are out and fancy a more sociable environment."

we went on a Sunday evening beer and it wasn't so full. it is a beautiful pub with beautiful outdoor area! a small recommendation would be to wash the tassen better because three of us have found many stains. still it's a great pub!

Wow, such good value for money with excellent food and drinks. Staff were helpful, quick and polite which made the overall experience fantastic. I think Natasha was the person who served us and she was particularly excellent, warm and a great asset to the bar!

Got food here... they gave my boyfriend the wrong burger which means he lost £1.50 then he paid for an ice cream which later they come over say they dont have that one and to choose another. The one be chose was the most expensive and he didnt get any refund! Also no one during our whole time here came to ask if the food was ok (which it wasn't). Although the food tastes good!

The Anchor is alright; I love to go occasionally but for the pure purposes of getting drunk. It's not the sort of place to go for a catch-up with friends, a meal or a quiet drink or two. Students and locals abound, and it is often hard to hear yourself think. I realise I sound like a miserable old woman, but the place is just a little bit lifeless and loud. The cheap drinks are obviously a great attraction so I recommend the Anchor if you want a messy night, but avoid at all costs if you want somewhere to go with the family or a partner as there are plenty of nicer places around.

Low-cost, but a little bit wrong, is how I would describe this pub. It's a kind of like a Wetherspoons, with cheap alcohol, cheap food and tacky décor. This inevitably brings in the cheap punters, so expect students galore if you venture in during the evening. The food's not great, to be honest (it's the microwaved from frozen kind of stuff) and despite the low price tag, is probably best avoided. However, if you're after a cheap pint mid-week and live in the area then the Anchor isn't too bad a bet. There are plenty of more civilized places around, though, if you'd prefer a little more ambience.

The Anchor is a large modern pub aimed at the student market. It's perfectly located for this mid-way up Gloucester Road and is surrounded by the student's housing. This means for those who wish to have a civilised quiet evening, avoid at all costs on weekdays. Having said that, on Saturdays the locals are out and the same rowdy crowd is probably found. In fact, best avoided at all! If you like the liveliness and the cheapness £1 pints) then make a beeline for The Anchor. It has lots and lots of seats and tables and a huge upstairs space too. Staff are most probably all students but are efficient and friendly.

The Anchor is a very student friendly pub, situated towards the top end of Gloucester Road. Large, leery and covered in blue and gold paint, this pub is busy most nights of the week, particularly on Mondays as it 's 'pound a pint ' night. There are also plenty of meal deals on cheap pub food too. Split over two levels there is at least plenty of space and lots of outside seating too, located at the front of the pub. While there is nothing wrong with this pub and it is certainly great for a cheap drink, it can get very loud, very busy, and feel a bit like a student union at times. My friends and I have out grown it but if you 're a student living on Gloucester Road then check this place out i...
