We could tell you all about The Anchor, a village pub since 1751, the plane-spotting garden, the gins behind the bar. But honestly? It's better to just show you. Here's a look around our pub in Stanwell Moor, just 7 minutes from Heathrow Terminal 5.

Our Bar

Fully stocked bar at The Anchor with draught taps, spirits and gin collection

Whether you're after a cold pint, a gin and tonic or a whisky, the bar has you covered.

What's on draught and behind the bar changes from time to time, so the current list is on our drinks menu. Browse the full drinks menu →

We accept all major credit cards (yes, including American Express) and cash. We can give you a VAT invoice for a business booking.

The Dining Room

Our dining room is one of those spaces that changes with the seasons, and somehow gets better each time. In summer, sunshine floods through the french doors, which open straight out to the garden for that fresh, airy feel. In winter, the heating keeps things properly cosy. It seats 26 and it's always a lovely spot for a meal.

Here's the bit people don't expect: step out into the garden and planes land right overhead on their way into Heathrow. It's genuinely brilliant, especially if you've got kids (or, let's be honest, if you're just into plane spotting).

The dining room doubles as our private hire space too. Book it for birthday parties, retirement dos, baby showers or business meetings, you get exclusive use of the room and full access to the bar. There's a TV in there as well, handy for a slideshow or a presentation.

The Garden

The Anchor beer garden with seating directly under the Heathrow flight path

This is the one we're properly proud of. Our beer garden sits directly under Heathrow's southern runway approach path. Planes come over about every 90 seconds at peak times, at around 500 to 800 feet. It's mesmerising. Grab a drink, stretch out on the grass, and just look up. There's nothing quite like it.

With 64 seats across tables and open lawn, there's plenty of room whether you're here for a quiet pint, a family lunch or a bigger group. It's dog-friendly too, so bring the whole pack. On a warm afternoon, this pub garden near Heathrow is one of our favourite places to be, and we're rated4.6 stars on Google.

Where the Action Happens

Main bar area at The Anchor with dartboard and jukebox

The main bar area is the heart of The Anchor. This is where you'll find the dartboard, the jukebox and, more often than not, a good conversation with whoever's sitting next to you.

And the dartboard? Proper pub darts.

Pool, Games & a Quiet Corner

Bay window seating near the pool table at The Anchor, perfect for a quieter meal

Our pool table is £1 a game. It's tucked into its own area, the kind of spot where you'll lose an hour without noticing, especially with a couple of pints on the go. Mates, dates, work colleagues, everyone ends up round the pool table eventually.

Just past the pool table, there's a table in our second bay window. It's a little more removed from the buzz of the main bar, perfect if you want a quieter bite to eat or a catch-up without shouting over the jukebox. Best of both worlds: close enough to the action, far enough to actually hear each other.
