(We unfortunately cannot reserve our terrace tables, any bookings will have a table reserved inside although guests are more than welcome to sit at a table on our riverside terrace if one is available upon arrival)

Set on the bank of the beautiful river Cam in the historic city of Cambridge, The Anchor pub, dining room & river terrace is a stone’s throw away from the world famous Queens college & its stunning Mathematical Bridge.

We serve fresh seasonal food using locally sourced ingredients, cask conditioned real ales, craft beers, wines from a carefully chosen innovative wine list. We provide friendly knowledgeable & relaxed service in picturesque surroundings.

Escape to our dining room where you can guarantee a fabulous view or experience al fresco dining overlooking the river during the summer months.

Why not spend an afternoon or the evening with us, take a punt on the river then enjoy a meal with us either before or after

Visited with friends for Sunday lunch. The food was very good, both in terms of quality and value for money. The staff there are always friendly and attentive. We’ve used the Anchor before and will definitely return.
