Wood Fired Oven
Our brand new wood fired oven is now in full swing.
If you want a great tasting pizza & want to see the chef’s at their finest then get down to The Anchor on Thursday evenings (weather permitting) for our hugely popular pizzas.
We recommend getting here early as we don’t take bookings and when they are gone then they are most definitely gone.
Served from 5:30pm
from september our thursday pizza evenings will cease until next year but keep an eye on our social media for alternative afternoons during autumn/winter when we may just fire it up.
