The Anchor and Horseshoes, Burpham

It's been a while since this pub got a write up, so I am happy to oblige.

The interior has a nice cosy atmosphere, in the winter there is usually a fire going and in the summer the rear doors open up to a large quiet beer garden.

The landlord - Eddie - is a friendly chap and a good laugh, in fact all the staff who work there are friendly.

There is a good selection of real ale along side the usual mainstream alcohol.

The food is not bad and very good value, if it can be called a complaint - you usually get too much of it.

The client�le are a mixed bunch of all ages, quite a few regulars, it is quiet during the day and family friendly for a spot of lunch. The evenings on "school nights" can be quiet with the exception of Wednesday.

There are always events going on, weekly pub quiz night (Wednesday) is always a laugh with some pretty generous prizes (bottle of wine for round winners and cash pot for the overall winner). There are regular evenings when local bands play, although I haven't attended one, I hear they are great fun.

It is my local pub and I love it, so my review is probably a bit bias. All in all I highly recommend a visit. 10/10
