"Peggy is awesome. Fish and chips are great. Scotch egg very traditional, and ice cold beer."

"I’m a Brit who’s starting to crave food from home so my boyfriend offered to take me. The fish and chips were bang on I can’t lie, the chips themselves were 1000/10. The place literally feels like I’m transported back to my local at home. Only issue would be I wouldn’t recommend the potato skins wasn’t as cheesy as I like but that’s a personal issue and we did arrive when they had just opened and the staff were super friendly and everything is very reasonably priced. I’ve been asking restaurants I go for cider and it’s always just not right, but I think it was strongbow they had, was brilliant. Worth the drive 100%"

"This is a proper British pub! I've never seen the likes here in the states. My husband is English and lit up like a Christmas tree when he walked in the door. I've spent enough time in England ro say this is more English than most pubs in the homeland. Fish and chips were perfection, along with a pint of Spotted Hen. If we were local, this would be our new hangout. Huge surprise in Delray Beach! Even the pub doggies, Stout and Scotch, were great!"

Yes, this pub was actually shipped from England, where it had stood for 150 years in London's historic Chancery Lane. There it was a watering hole for famed English residents, including Winston Churchill; here you may hear stories of lingering ghosts told over some suds. Chow down on a ploughman's lunch (a chunk of Stilton cheese, a piece of bread, a slice of English pork pie, and pickled onions), fish-and-chips, and bangers and mash (sausages with mashed potatoes).

The Blue Anchor is one of the favorites among locals, with its authentic seaside British vibe, it especially stood out during the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Just a few feet from the Atlantic Avenue drawbridge, this standout pub is noted for its warm environment, complete with the dark wood and royal blue hues one would come to expect from a British Pub. With some of the best drink prices on the market, we love coming here for the big game, or just a quick after-work drink!

Or get a blast from the past with the Blue Anchor, an actual English pub that was relocated to downtown Delray Beach and looks the part, traditional cask ale beer pours and all for $4. Or head over to 3rd and 3rd in Pineapple Grove just north of Atlantic. A bar with no sign, it’s a regular hangout for Delray Beach’s in-the-biz crowd clandestinely located at the corner of – you guessed it – the intersection of Third Avenue and Third Street.
