Loch Fyne in Poole to close ahead of Anchorage rebrand

The Loch Fyne Restaurant, Bar and Hotel, located between Haven Road and Canford Cliffs Road, will close on Sunday, October 2, before being replaced as part of a rebrand.

As previously reported, site operator Greene King – through its subsidiary Metropolitan Pub Company – will rebrand the site as The Anchorage and have pledged to keep the same staff and much-loved fresh seafood menu.

In a statement, the Loch Fyne team said: “We are sad to inform you that we’ll be closing our doors on Sunday. We would like to say a big thank you for your support and for being part of the Loch Fyne journey.

“However, as one door closes another one opens. We’ll be handing the keys to the marvellous Metropolitan Pub Company who will be opening The Anchorage, where the same wonderful team will be serving your seafood favourites as well as mouth-watering new dishes.”

The venue will be closing for refurbishment with an aim to re-open around late October.

Michael Horan, managing director of Metropolitan Pub Company, said: “The Loch Fyne in Poole sits within the Metropolitan estate and we are really excited to be reopening as The Anchorage, following a refurbishment.

“Fresh seafood will continue to feature on the menu, sourced by Loch Fyne Oysters, and we are looking forward to working with the current team members to continue providing world-class hospitality with our premium Gastro pub delights.”
