The Anchor at Gunthorpe

About

Located in the heart of the countryside right by the River Trent, The Anchor is more than just a pub, it’s a welcoming social hub where great food, family fun, and community come together. Led by some of the Midlands’ top chefs, The Anchor serves up hearty pub classics with a modern twist, all made with quality ingredients and served in a cosy, stylish setting.

Whether you’re relaxing by the courtyard fire pit with a drink in hand or watching the kids enjoy a ride on The Anchor Express, a charming 18-seater model train that runs hourly through the grounds, there’s something here for everyone. The vibe is laid back, family friendly, and rooted in community values.

The menu features everything from comforting favourites to chef-led specials, making it the perfect spot for anything from a casual lunch to a celebratory dinner. For those who love a bit of friendly competition, Quiz Night takes place on the first Tuesday of every month, with dining from 6pm and quizzing from 8–10pm. All generations are welcome to put their knowledge to the test!

In warmer months, The Anchor Garden is the place to be, perfect for alfresco dining, sunny drinks with friends, or just unwinding with scenic views and great company.

Sports fans are also well catered for, with live Sky Sports coverage available both indoors and outside, so you’ll never miss a match.

With its unique mix of high-quality food, warm atmosphere, and fun for all ages, The Anchor is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Nottinghamshire.
