# The Anchor: Agent-Direct Score B (73.8%)

Site: https://theanchoroxford.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/theanchoroxford.com
Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
The Anchor is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open The Anchor's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.theanchoroxford.com/reservations (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +44 1865 510 282
- Address: Hayfield Road 2 OX2 6TT Oxford
- Hours, from OpenStreetMap: Mon–Thu 15:00–22:00; Fri 15:00–23:00; Sat 09:00–23:00; Sun 09:00–22:00

## Nearby, also direct
Places near The Anchor that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.

- Barefoot Coffee & Cake (590 m): https://directindex.org/r/barefootoxford.co.uk

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.
