Used to have great food and great service, but for the locals this place is now a nightmare; blaring loud music at stupid-o-clock with rude and inconsiderate owners running it. Absolute joke.

My wife and I stopped here by chance, on our way to Plymouth. The service was superb! My wife ordered the ham and mustard sandwich. I ordered the sausage sandwich. The server, Hollie, was friendly and efficient. I asked if i could switch salad for soup but was told I couldn’t really do that. But then, Hollie brought a small bowl of wonderful butternut squash soup out. Full marks to Hollie for her service skills, smile and friendly nature! The atmosphere was wonderful and the restaurant was clean. We definitely recommend the Anchor Inn! The sandwiches were huge on a wonderful bread from a local bakery. They ended up being supper as well as lunch.

It's a great pub but why would you force people to have table service? It's so weird to not be able to walk up to the bar in a pub and order. It really puts me off what otherwise is a great place.

The pasta ordered was stone cold and rock hard. We also ordered two apple and raspberry drinks which both had mould at the bottom. Then we walked outside and saw a dead rat outside the kitchen entry and none of the staff bothered to get rid of it without being prompted multiple times. Terrible place all round. Definitely think inspectors need to take a look.

We popped into the Anchor after a 20 mile cycle at lunchtime (21/7), We found the staff to be very helpful and attentive, the service was quick even though the garden was fairly busy. We saw a bit of commotion regarding a dead rat in the garden however once the staff were informed they dealt with it swiftly. We didn’t eat today but have done previously and the food has been good and a nice pub menu. We will definitely be returning.

Staff were lovely and friendly , however i had a drink of Coca Cola and it was very very watery had no taste, going onto the food I ordered a Roast Dinner, it was presented lovely however it didn’t state on the menu it was a chicken leg , I thought It would be chicken breast so just bare that in mind if you don’t like chicken legs , just like me who could not eat it. The Veg was very limited not much on the plate and broccoli was raw. Everything else was nice, this is just my opinion and experience 😊 hope everyone else has a good experience:)

I have never felt so unwelcome in an establishment as I did when we attempted to go for a drink in The Anchor. The lady serving behind the bar was incredibly rude. We wouldn’t know what the quality of the food and beverages is like. For somewhere that boasts ‘The heart of Ringmer’ and ‘The definition of a Sussex pub’ might light to take a look again and address the attitude of those it employs.

I recently visited the Anchor Inn pub and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was cozy, and the service by Ellie was exceptional. She made sure our time there was enjoyable with her attentive and friendly service. I was particularly impressed to find out that they offer free sanitary products for females, which is a thoughtful touch not commonly found in other pubs. I highly recommend visiting the Anchor Inn.

Food was not great, the meat was tough. They had a very bad musical mishmash on that you couldn't understand, never finished a song or tune, I've heard better bands tune up, their contribution to the whole atmosphere was too loud, you couldn't hear yourself think let alone talk, everyone was trying to make themselves heard to the person next to them. It really spoilt the whole experience. I would not recommend this establishment as a good choice for a meal. I'm sorry if my review has upset anyone but, I review honestly as I find. I personally would not revisit.

Dreadful....booked a table for four for dinner . The table barely big enough for 2, let alone 4, cramped into a corner and very difficult to sit at comfortably. A disco for 60 30 year olds was in progress making it impossible to hold a conversation....we were not told that the pub would be taken over by the disco party when we booked. We left after one course...it was unbearable.

We were made very welcome and staff were all friendly and happy. The food was excellent , we did have to ask three times was the yorkshire pudding Vegan and was assured it was. It turned out NOT to be Vegan as we suspected so that was not great. We asked for the gravy to be separate in a jug but it was poured over the dinner!!

Waiting staff were lovely and very accommodating. The food however was awful, veg was all undercooked, parsnips were barely even roasted, yorkie was tiny, roast potatoes were chewy and tasted like they'd been left out, not crispy at all. The pork belly was a slight saving grace, but it was drenched in gravy so who knows what it actually tasted like. All round, grim... Get a chef that actually tastes their food cause this is awful. I've never left a pub hungry but this occasion, I didn't want to pay 15 pounds for this joke of a roast.

From the previous time I came to this pub, it has improved dramatically! Mum being vegetarian and a great cook makes her limited on what she'll eat out. Not only was I satisfied, she was too (I'm a bit easier to please. Lol) The first time I heard of mussels in cider with pancetta, but it was delicious. Portion sizes were plentiful if not slightly too much! Needless to say, I ate most of mine. Customer service was wonderful, and being a dog friendly place is a winner for me. There are 2 large dogs living here, but both were extremely friendly (bit overweight... like me, I'll add, although I'm less so. 😉)

This is tough.. love the decor and the location but it really is time they moved on from the Covid era. You go into the pub when it's quiet. You are,directed to a table. You wait for 5 or so mins before you order just a drink.. your drink comes another 5 or so mins later.... Not that time here is the issue but when you are sitting there waiting and the staff are just standing chatting it just feels so wrong !! Really... come on.. get back to being a traditional British come on in and get served pub like the Green Man..

Really lovely pub and great Sunday roast. Only issue I had is the baby changing - only changing facilities in the ladies toilets and it is inside a toilet cubical so there is no space to move - you have to keep the door open to pull down the changing mat but the door doesn’t stay open and the mat is so high up it is really almost impossible to use unless you are super tall!

See recent Edit. Pub grub menu, but having said that our choices of roast and tuna, then dessert were excellent, and service was good even though they seemed quite busy for a Sunday lunchtime. Good atmosphere. Happy to go again and recommend. Edit. Re visited in June 2023. 4 different meals ordered, the excellence experienced previously was not repeated. Table Service was without care, and disinterested, “yer just a minute”. Very disappointing. Wont return.

We booked for 6.15pm. Unfortunately a large party had booked just in front of us. Staff kindly warned us there would be a delay of 30 minutes as a result. 45 minutes later we were still waiting and staff were very apologetic. The food was very tasty when it arrived and was worth the wait. Decent portions too. Several good options for vegan/vegetarians. After a good choice of mains for vegans it was disappointing to find just one desserts option which was ice cream advertised as vegan but delivered with a non-vegan chocolate stick. Overall quite good though.

My friend & I had the pleasure of meeting the owners of the pub - lovely people, with extraordinary minds. We’ve spoken about our horrible experience at the restaurant that my friend and I went to for her birthday the day before, and the owners have sent a stunning birthday cake to my friend - which was absolutely magical. The decor is outstanding & very different from everything that I have seen before. They’re also dog friendly!
