| This Public House and Hotel is situated in a perfect position by the Medway, with outside seating overlooking the ancient bridge, lock gates and weir. Our visit was on a warm, September lunchtime in 2003. On approaching the pub, perhaps the ashtrays nailed to the tables and complete lack of any shade should have acted as a warning to us. My experience of eating in pubs for the first time is that is best to select something simple on the basis that even the most inept cook can probably succeed. The Anchor failed. In this case my wife ordered a Ham Sandwich and I selected a Cheese Ploughman’s. Both verged on the disgusting, in fact I did not think there were any Public Houses left where such substandard food could be produced. The ham sandwich was made of very stale bread and very off putting discoloured ham. Apart from a freshly baked piece of bread and some tasteless, factory produced cheese, the ploughman’s lunch had none of the normal ingredients one would expect. There was no pickled onion, some Branston type pickle was supplied in a miniscule sachet, from which I managed to extract about half a teaspoon of the condiment. Some Coleslaw salad was provided, but this was of such substandard quality, that it was uneatable. Definitely one to avoid. Top Cat |
