What a great local! We went in for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon and wound up staying for four hours. The place has had a nice glow up, with comfortable seating, a roaring fireplace, a revamp of the drinks menu. Good selection of beers, with all the usuals plus some craft beers, wine and a great selection of spirits (including some good rum, which is key for me). The food is well presented and very tasty. I loved the wings, especially the jerk wings, tender and delicious. The goat curry was fantastic too. But the key thing for me here is the friendly vibe. The people here are so lovely! Literally every staff member came over to say hello at some point, very friendly but not overbearing, just enough to make you feel welcome. We also had a nice chat with the landlady/owner; you get the feeling that they really care about what the locals think. Much love and respect to the owners and the team here, you deserve it.

The Five Star Golden Anchor Nunhead on EVERY Level Superhero Golden Lana Thank You For NEVER giving Up All thanks to Tom Kerridge for making the BBC2 series ‘Saving Britians Pubs’ and feel rather guilty to admit that after living in Nunhead since June 2011, I finally visited this transformed lovely pub. Have not yet seen the documentary however the avalanche of positive feedback convinced me to put Dec 2nd 2020 in my quite empty diary. From the moment I crossed the threshold to my leaving was a wonderful experience. To walk into a pub full of customers these days can be quite a novelty, not here every table was occupied, and I understand the majority were Golden Anchor virgins. All the staff were so friendly and despite being so busy, the delightful Lana who runs the show went out her way to engage in conversation with me and all the customers which I am sure is quite rare in most pubs. I was bowled over by Lana’s enthusiasm positivity and sheer personality. Running the pub for over twenty years, with so many struggles in the height of an international pandemic you risked everything giving the pub a makeover. The Curry Goat with rice n peas with salad and plantain was to die for, delicious and reasonably priced at 12. So good was the meal that before leaving I asked the guy serving the tables if I could compliment the Chef, he replied ‘I am the chef’ With such a wonderful atmosphere, delightful staff, a terrific drink selection and wide ranging menu, what more could one ask for? Lana be assured that it will not be ten years before my next visit!
Nice and cosy pub with a very friendly owner and waiters. Good vibe with a huge potential of being the new local pub for many in Nunhead if they can improve just a touch the beer and wine offer. I can also see a great new venue with live music there
I've never had a 'local' pub, but if there was one laid out in my destiny it would be the golden anchor. The pub landlady was astonishingly friendly (after six years in london I didn't think there was such a thing) and the pub itself is really cool. Big fan, sign me up. Give it some love.
Management is always friendly and so are the staff. This place is clean and fresh. I was very impressed with how clean the toilets were. Atmosphere was lovely. What a beautiful night out for me and my friend.
