Sit outside and watch the Cockwood swans whilst soaking up
the last of the setting sun in the evening, enjoying one of our great draught
beers; and in summer, relax and, whilst still within sight, let your kiddies
fish for crabs under the duct of an historic Brunel bridge; or watch the steam
train (Torbay Express) and other noteworthy trains which travel the Brunel
railway, a veritable train-spotters paradise.
The charming village of
Cockwood
boasts a large and lovely village green, also home to canadian geese,
ducks and other wild birds, the green being edged by a natural
riverlet.As
well as our extensive a la carte menu,
bar snack menu and choice of
daily specials, we also have Fish of the Day and details of this
will be found in the restaurant area.
The a la carte is available in all areas, but you might like to
take advantage of the exclusive, intimate atmosphere of our smaller, candlelit restaurant, located away from the stage and
entertainment area. It is wise to make a dining reservation. If you
require assistance with the contents of any of our food i.e. nuts or
flour we will be pleased to assist. All of our food is specially
prepared for you and therefore may take a little time before it is
ready. We are certain however you will find this short wait well worth
while.
WELCOME
to The Anchor Inn Cockwood Devon
-
At that time Brunel had not built the Atmospheric Railway, and the
water used to go nearly up to Dawlish. We are told the Anchor was a
haven for seamen and smugglers and is still haunted by a friendly
ghost and his dog.
