This place is not usually open now.

Nestled on the edge of Seatown Beach, just a short stroll from Golden Cap Holiday Park, The Anchor Inn at Seatown is a quintessential Dorset experience that blends breathtaking Jurassic Coast views with award-winning hospitality. This charming and multi award-winning gastropub, part of the historic Palmer’s Brewery, is a must-visit for holidaymakers seeking fresh, locally inspired cuisine and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Perched beneath the iconic Golden Cap, the highest point on the south coast, The Anchor Inn offers stunning sea views from its cliff-top beer garden, making it an ideal spot to unwind after a day exploring the South West Coast Path or fossil hunting on the beach. The menu celebrates Dorset’s rich larder, with a focus on seasonal seafood, including fresh fish, shellfish, and lobsters caught locally from West Bay and Weymouth. For land lovers, hearty dishes like slow-roasted pork belly and the signature Anchor Inn fish pie showcase the region’s exceptional produce. Gluten-free, vegan, and children’s options ensure there’s something for everyone, while the dog-friendly policy welcomes furry companions.

Inside, the inn exudes cozy charm with white stone walls and a roaring wood burner. Guests can savor Palmer’s award-winning ales, local spirits, or a glass of Furleigh Estate Cuvée, all while soaking in the pub’s historic ambiance—once a smugglers’ haunt. The Anchor Inn’s accolades, including Visit England’s Tourism Pub of the Year and Taste of the West Gold Award, reflect its commitment to quality and community.

Whether you’re stopping for a light lunch, a romantic dinner, or a pint with a view, The Anchor Inn delivers an unforgettable taste of Dorset’s coast.
