Heathrow Restaurants: A Proper Pub to Eat Near the Airport
The Anchor is a traditional British pub and restaurant in Stanwell Moor, near Heathrow Airport. We are 7 minutes from Terminal 5 and 11 to 12 minutes from the other terminals, so if you are searching for restaurants near Heathrow before a flight, after landing or during a layover, you can be sitting down to a home-cooked meal in minutes. There is free parking on site, a beer garden under the flight path, and a calmer setting than anything you will find inside the terminal.
We cook proper British pub food: Sunday roasts, fish and chips, stone-baked pizzas, burgers and pies, all made fresh to order rather than reheated. We are not a chain or a fast-food counter, just a village pub where you can take your time, bring the dog, and eat well without airport prices.
