Royal Anchor - AF (6th Mar 2025 - 16:57:37) Is the Royal Anchor closing for a renovation and conversion to a Hotel and although still owned by Greene King will NOT be a hungry horse.

Re: Royal Anchor - Polly (6th Mar 2025 - 19:02:55) AF I’m not sure if your post is a question or a statement. Please could you clarify. Thank you

Re: Royal Anchor - Ian (7th Mar 2025 - 06:59:10) I've heard through the grapevine that after the closure of Gables newsagents, the Anchor is going to close and reopen as a Premier, containing a Turkish barbers.

Re: Royal Anchor - Joe (7th Mar 2025 - 07:26:38) Ian, you forgot the nail bar and tattoo parlour.

Re: Royal Anchor - Scott (7th Mar 2025 - 08:05:49) I've heard from a very reliable Russian source that their great ally Mr Trump is starting his take over of the UK and designated Liphook as his first project... Trump W.Anchor Towers With an enormous golden phallus outside what will be a 200 storey 5 star hotel resort with Hungry horse providing the cuisine.

Re: Royal Anchor - Local (7th Mar 2025 - 10:29:07) All joking aside it’s such a shame it’s got to this stage. It used to be a great place to go to for a cheap and cheerful meal and chat to all the other locals can remember you had to wait your turn to order food and beer it was that busy. We need a place between all the others we have great pubs locally good food and drinks but we need something in between. Hopefully green king can come good and get it running again.

Re: Royal Anchor - C (7th Mar 2025 - 12:51:53) @Local. I couldn't eat the food and I will eat anything! (Including lard on toast which was created due to human error!) :-D

Re: Royal Anchor - Local (7th Mar 2025 - 14:26:53) C I said in the past it was reasonable I’m talking back whin Jez was the manager it’s gone down hill since then. Other places like Witherspoons and Toby and others seem to manage to serve the community ok .

Re: Royal Anchor - Rg (7th Mar 2025 - 16:28:12) Being rebranded same as the pub at wrecclesham ball and wicket? , a bit more pricey but hopefully better Damn squadron of pigs just flew over. Info direct from staff not chinese whispers

Re: Royal Anchor - Paul Robinson (7th Mar 2025 - 16:37:45) I am reliably informed that the Anchor is to be transformed into a 'Sports Bar', whatever that is. Paul Robinson

Re: Royal Anchor - Sam (9th Mar 2025 - 18:46:45) I also heard it will be a sports bar, however it could also be completely closed down and demolished for flats etc as the cost of repairing the fly trap dirty sticky floors combined with removal of the 5000 microwave ovens could well be too high.

Re: Royal Anchor - AR (9th Mar 2025 - 19:36:15) Sam That is probably one of the most saddest posts I have seen. That building has stood for hundreds of years. It has fed and made people happy for as long as I can remember, and countless others in the past. It has given employment to many people, and I briefly had a second job there in the early 80's working behind the bar. My family enjoyed many a meal here years ago when they were growing up, and I have continued over the years to go there. The Bohunt children are taught the history, and we should be proud of it. It saddens me to see this and why have the council not stepped in to do something ? Get a decent firm to run it. If this building goes, the Liphook we knew goes too.

Re: Royal Anchor - Russ (9th Mar 2025 - 20:47:15) Thought it was a listed building so there is only so much that can be done to it . Would be great to have it back to its former self.
