Local record

History of this pub

The Anchor stood on Lakeside Parkway, beside a large retail park just off the A1077 north of Scunthorpe town centre, with a 101-room Premier Inn next door. CAMRA's local branch knew it as a Beefeater grill serving food all day, with Black Sheep Best Bitter on the handpumps alongside a guest ale, often from Sharp's. In July 2026 the freehold was put up for sale, described as a purpose-built restaurant with around 180 seats inside and 100 outside.
