Hotel and restaurant located on the corner of Cardiff Road and Anchor Street. A large inscription at street level states "From the earliest days of the Industrial Revolution, Anchors and their Chains have been produced in this part of Wales. Prior to 1851 these were of Admiralty or Patent Pattern. A large Anchor of this type dredged up from the Bristol Channel features in the interior of our Restaurant" The Anchor formerly described itself as a Mongolian Restaurant. Although "Mongolian" no longer appears above Restaurant on the exterior, a depiction of a Mongolian horseman remains.
