The Anchor Inn stands at the end of a row of
houses just off the A17 east of Long Sutton, with King's Lynn
to the east, Wisbech to the south and The Wash to the north. The pub dates back
to 1743, and hosts Lee and Catherine keep out the welcome mat for all their customers,
whether they've come for a drink in the homely, uncluttered bar or a meal in
the delightful restaurant. Lee's wholesome home cooking includes excellent
soups, pâtés and pies, along with super seafood specials that
could include scallops. The regular food nights are very popular occasions. For
Bed & Breakfast guests the Anchor has three well-priced letting rooms, and
the area around the pub and the village is full of interesting things to see
and do.
The region, very popular with walkers, cyclists and
birdwatchers, is at the heart of the important flower and bulb-growing
industry, and the local attractions include the Peter Scott Walk. King John's
Lost Jewels Trail, comprising 23 miles of quiet roads, starts at Long Sutton
market place and passes Sutton
Bridge, where the King is
said to have lost his jewels. Another interesting feature here is the swing
bridge over the River Nene, built in 1897 for the Midland & Great Northern
Railway and still in use. The Anchor is open lunchtime and evening and all day
on summer weekends.
