Anchor Inn is an old pub dating back to the early 1900’s in Gargrave. The original pub was part of a farm and in more recent years has been extended to give extra space. Rumour has it that the farmer used to brew his own beer here! It is of farmhouse style with contemporary touches such as the fixtures and fittings which complement the decor. The burgundy & cream wall covering and carpets give it a warm feel. This Brewers Fayre is very popular with the youngsters who love the indoor Playzone and, during the summer, the outdoor play area. Outside the interest continues as there are ducks to feed from the canal which runs past the bottom of the beer garden and the river is only fifty yards away. Along with families we also attract walkers who pop in for a well earned rest and, of course, our regular local clientele. The Premier Inn next door is in an ideal place for visitors to the area and breakfast can be enjoyed in our restaurant. We serve quality food at a reasonable price all day and our children’s menu has appetizing choices for our younger visitors. We receive regular feedback complimenting the staff who are all very sociable. This brings people back to this character filled, rural pub. Come and visit us soon and enjoy the sociable atmosphere.About the area: Nearby Skipton is the ‘Gateway’ to the magnificent Yorkshire Dales attracting thousands of visitors from all over the world.
