| Jonnysaint. I loved your comments “an ale pilgrimage of the highest order” Never really thought of it as a pilgrimage but yes I suppose it is. It’s a pilgrimage to the Blue Anchor that I hope to make again sometime soon. Not sure if the guy who served me was the guvnor or the barman but he was a right old character & pissed as a fart even at that time. The blue anchor puts most pubs that I am forced to use into absolute shade. The great thing I loved about this pub is that my missus dident like it – superb.!!! It’s a shame that pubs like this are a dieing breed. Even some of the pubs in the City (of London) these days are nothing more than a home for chavs in suits. ThePewter - 11 Dec 2008 16:16 |
| Found this place by chance whilst visiting Cornwall this summer -, what an amazing pub. Walked in about midday on a monday looking for a spot of lunch before hitting the beach a few miles away. Couldent beleive what isaw in the main bar. Most of the locals happilly singing away in a state of drunkedness that you wouldent expect for a Monday lunchtime. After a few of those Spingo ale's i found myself joining in. The misses & kids though were not impressed. I did beg & pleed for her to take the kids to the beach & pick me up in a few hour's time...alas she was having none of it. I would rate this pub a 10 for the beer & general charactor. Shame i live 000's of miles away in some horrible essex town where the pubs are full of chavs. Beer outstanding, locals weird, wonderful & in a constant state of drukeness (in a freindly way) Without doubt, Britains best pub. Long may it continue ThePewter - 11 Dec 2008 14:01 |

| The second time I've visited the Blue anchor. The Spingo special is an all time classic ale. Shame I wasn't there for the xmas special but something to look forward to next year as I'll definately be returning. Unspoilt, full of character, what a pub should be. Own brewery out back. Brilliant! And it was never quiet or empty. Always people streaming in to test out the Spingo. I myself trvalled 220 miles for it. Another couple we met there had travelled 400. A local man told us how people travelled from Holland to visit!! No doubt people from further afield than that have made the pilgrimage too, because it is a pilgrimage. An ale prigrimage of the highest order and one of the top wonders of the ale world. Jonnysaint - 23 Nov 2008 18:30 |
