The Anchor Inn
Bar Club in Exeter, Devon
This charming Inn, specialising in sea-food but providing a menu to meet all tastes is reputedly over 450 years old and was originally opened as a Seamen's Mission. At that time Brunel had not built the Atmospheric Railway, and the water used to go nearly up to Dawlish. We're told the Anchor was a haven for seamen and smugglers and is still haunted by a friendly ghost and his dog. 2007 saw the addition and opening of The Wheel House doubling our capacity and allowing us to understand the requirements of our always ever increasing popularity.

Not only does this bar and restaurant have 450 years of rich history, it also benefits from having one of the most beautiful and interesting locations on the coast - a whole day can easily be spentexploring the local sights. Overlooking the quaint harbour, the alfresco seating boasts stunning views across the landscape - if you're lucky, you might even spot the Torbay Express steam train. The village green is just steps away - home to the famed Cockwood geese - and the nearby historic bridges built by Brunel are a sight to be seen.
