HARTSHILL.

In recent years Everards have allowed their pubs to stock a guest beer and in some cases more than that. The pub itself is situated on the Coventry canal near bridge 29 and you can tie-up near by and enjoy a pint in the summer - or winter, if you are brave. From the outside it has the appearance of a number of buildings being all coming together to make up the pub. It has a pleasant lounge bar which doubles up as a restaurant. The Anchor has become a bit of a destination pub for food and it is wise to book. There are three eating areas so there should be space despite serving over 2000 meals a week. If you like a carvey, then there is one here on Friday and Saturday evenings and all day Sunday. The food is good, better than usual 'pub grub'. The Anchor is popular with children as it has a large play area. It also is not bad for wheelchair access too, though there are no disabled toilets. For the winter there is a real fire to keep those bones warm. No accommodation here.
