Hero film to come
Since 1840
Two cottages, one fire, oak panelling and flagstones worn smooth. Seasonal British cooking, local beer, five rooms upstairs and the downs at the door.
The name comes from Crown & Anchor, the dice game Ham’s farm workers once played here for money. There is still a set on the windowsill.
Food & Drink
Seasonal and British
We back British farmers and award-winning local producers, and cook what the season gives us. Scotch eggs at the bar, a proper Sunday roast, and supper clubs in the colder months.
Private dining

Named after the Bloomsbury set who lived at Ham Spray House. Oak beams, a log burner and doors to the terrace. Up to 20 seated, or 30 to 35 for drinks.
