Help us name our private dining room!

As part of our refurbishment, our private dining room is getting a makeover too. When we reopen, the space will be ready for everything from business meetings and family celebrations to private dinners and special occasions.
With a fresh new look comes the opportunity for a fresh new name... and we'd love your help choosing it!

We're looking for name suggestions inspired by Lower Froyle's rich hop-growing and brewing heritage, maybe Literary greats, to complement our bedroom names, or perhaps something inspired by The Anchor itself!

Drop your ideas in the comments below 👇
We'll shortlist our favourite three suggestions and then leave the final decision up to you in a classic poll. The winning name will become part of The Anchor's next chapter!

🍃When we reopen on 24th November, The Anchor Inn will proudly become the 13th Butcombe Boutique Inn, joining a collection of unique destination inns across some of the UK's most beautiful countryside, coastal and heritage locations.
From the New Forest and South Downs to the Cotswolds, Dorset coast, Wiltshire countryside and Somerset villages, every Butcombe Boutique Inn is chosen for its exceptional setting and local character.

Nestled in the picturesque village of Lower Froyle, surrounded by rolling Hampshire countryside and perfectly positioned between the South Downs and the market town of Alton, The Anchor Inn shares the same sense of place that defines every Boutique Inn in the collection.
Following our refurbishment, guests will be able to enjoy beautifully designed, boutique bedrooms, exceptional, home-from-home hospitality, locally sourced food and drink and the thoughtful touches that transform a stay from simply comfortable to truly memorable.

Visit the Butcombe Boutique Inns website to explore our collection of unique locations, discover what makes each one special, and start getting excited about what The Anchor Inn will soon become.
Why not visit The White Horse in Chilgrove, nestled in the South Downs and around 35-40 minutes from The Anchor Inn, or The Welldiggers Arms in Petworth, an inviting countryside retreat just 40-45 minutes away.
Fancy a trip to the New Forest? Head to High Corner Inn, our stunning forest hideaway, less than an hour's drive from The Anchor Inn and perfectly placed for walking, cycling and exploring the national park.
