The Anchor, Barcombe

I have to agree with the last review. The Anchor Inn Barcombe has recently changed hands and the new owner has entirely destroyed the charm it used to have. It is now a tacky, down-market pub with terrible service and hideously tasteless decor. What was once a beautiful, charming and tranquil (if slightly decaying) riverside pub has been turned into horrible chintzy downmarket affair, which even manages to ruin the beauty of its surroundings by pumping out trashy music into the lovely setting.

The staff were useless and rude. It took us over half an hour to get served. Then they got the order wrong and charged us the wrong amount. When we alerted them to this this were quite rude. Arrogant and inept.

It is hard to comprehend just how completely this pub has been destroyed.
