Stonegate Pub Company have invested £400,000 into the Anglers pub on the river at Walton on Thames, creating a further fifteen jobs. The pub was acquired by Stonegate last summer.
The 19th century landmark combines glamorous and cosy, with two distinct floors featuring twenty British gins on one and a rustic bar of ten real and craft beers on the other. Riverside seating with great views up and down the river, open fire, and quality food have been added along with the addition of seventy covers.
“We’re definitely making the most of the Anglers position on the river,” said manager Mark Slowe. “The restoration has made a countrified summer and winter pub offering a seriously relaxing experience.”
Craft beers such as Meantime pale ale, Samuel Adams and Norada IPA are served alongside five ales from breweries like Hogsback, St Austell and Surrey Hills. From Sipsmith’s Sloe Gin to the alluring pink Warner Edwards Victoria’s Rhubarb Gin, the gin range definitely meets the most current drinks trends.
A diverse menu offers lunches from £7, to loyal favourites guest-ale-battered cod & chips, sausages and mash, and Sunday roasts with free top ups of roasties, Yorkies and gravy. Pub fare with a chef’s edge includes Chicken & Brie Pie, and 35 day matured Rump or Ribeye topped with portobello mushroom or pepper sauce. There are also more unusual dishes – Pear & Pecorino Pasta, Sea Bream En Papilotte – and weekly chef specials including dishes such as rack of lamb and quinoa chilli.
Desserts to make any meal memorable include Sticky Toffee Pudding, and Blackcurrant & Sloe Gin Meringue – or a mix of four mini puds at £4.99 – big enough to share, or not!
There is a sophisticated range of daily offers such as an over 65’s club offers 25% discount; Burger night; quiz night; Games night; Grill nights; and Friday Fizz.
