The Anchor at Walberswick

The Anchor at Walberswick Gastro pub with 10 cosy bedrooms, just a stone's throw from the beach in the charming village of Walberswick on the Suffolk Coast.

A cosy pub with 10 rooms, 4 of which are in the main Arts & Crafts building and 6 are garden chalets eco clad in cedar wood. We have 3 dog friendly chalet rooms overlooking the back garden and you can hear the sea from your terrace. A short walk from the pub takes you directly over the sand dunes and onto the Walberswick beach. From here you can walk to Dunwich, Southwold or across the reed-beds a

nd to the woods. Relax by the crackling log fire on your return in the bar or the family room. We are open for breakfast to non-residents, morning coffee, lunch, afternoon snacks, and dinner until 9pm. Sophie, the owner, bakes her own bread daily which you can buy at the bar to take away. Monthly curry club and a real ale & oyster festival in August.

Hello everyone. I’ve had a wonderful morning with Emily and Connor from the East Anglian Air Ambulance, who have kindly provided us with a Tap & Go donation system and shared more about the incredible, life-saving work they deliver across our region.

As EAAA receives no government or NHS funding, every mission relies on the generosity of the community. So many of you already do incredible work fundraising each year, and we simply want to support and build on the amazing efforts of this community.

The Tap & Go machine will be in the marquee during our Anchor events and on the front bar throughout the festive season, and we’ve also added an online fundraising link in our bio.

Any support would mean so much. 💙

As we come up to our 21st Anniversary & 22nd Year…. (Opened on 5th November, 2004) we just wanted to say the biggest thank you to our Anchor community, locals, customers, suppliers, our amazing team, and the many, many special friends we have made along the way.

We feel incredibly lucky to have landed in Walberswick and to have this incredible village community who help us in every way, even with the amazing manning the BBQ with Sophie. Our suppliers who deliver every single day provide the freshness and quality we can offer. Our team, who are just INCREDIBLE. And to all of you, shaping the wonderful atmosphere, conversations and engagement which would not exist without each and every one of you.

We feel extremely grateful to have come 45th in the Good Food Guide’s top 100 pubs in the UK. As well as being in The Times; Hannah Evan’s extremely kind article on ‘The top 100 British pubs. There are ten in the list that I’d really recommend’

To our lovely sister pub who have been open for 2 years; and were placed 48th, Harry, Simon and all of Team Swan, this is a huge testament to all of your hard work, dedication and commitment. 🦢

A big, big thank you to you all.
❤️

Champagne Mathieu Nicolas is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Nicely grilled notes with great delicacy. The aromatic ensemble unfolds on citrus fruits which augurs freshness in the mouth. The attack is tonic and lemony with orange flavors. 🍋🍊

Mathieu Nicolas champagnes are wines of great quality and naturally marked by the fruity aromas characteristic of the Marne Valley.

We welcome our new house champagne…. 🍾🍇

Ally & Rob’s weekend wedding was magical ⭐️💫✨ All about good food, great drinks, and even better company (plus some groovy moves on the dance floor 💃🕺)
From magnums of Guilleminot champagne in the old church ruins to an oyster bar and canapés of salt cod fritters, halloumi skewers, honey mustard sausages, potato rösti with salmon, and veggie pakoras in the back garden — all perfectly paired with MIP Rosé 🍾🦪
To start: grazing boards at the tabl salami, prosciutto, roquito peppers, olives, hummus, crudités, and cheese 🧀

Supper was a Mediterranean-style feast: free-range chicken, butter beans, slow-roasted tomatoes, new potatoes, and wild garlic jus 🧄🍅
Pudding? Lemon posset, summer pudding, chocolate delice, and a dreamy Baron Bigod brie wheel with figs, grapes, and homemade oatcakes 🍇

Dancing into the night fuelled by spicy margaritas & espresso martinis 🍸🌶️✨hem & — thank you for sharing this very special love story with us.
