Cleo

Dogs and muddy boots are both welcome. We arrive with both.

Bonnie

Riverside tables, burgers, and boats from a kiosk in the garden. Cleo says the boats aren't for me. They're away till spring anyway.

The pawrents

The Anchor sits on the Ouse at Barcombe Mills, with riverside tables, plenty of parking and paths along the river from the door. Dogs are welcome in the pub, and the burgers are excellent. Boat hire is shut until spring 2027. Ask before a dog goes on one.
