What a lovely little place! If there are more stars definitely would give more! We were on our way when phoned and were told better to book a table. When we arrived been greeted by Sue, who already guessed who we were 🥰 however we never met. The service and food were excellent highly recommended and we will be back😉 Thank you again: Judie&Zoltan

Lovely little find, probably the best cheesy chips I’ve ever had and amazing portion for the price. Very dog friendly we would definitely return.

We were a little disappointed because the prices were significantly higher than stated on the homepage (main course 17 p. instead of 13 p.). Unfortunately, the lemon dressing on the Chicken Goujans starter, which are actually just chicken nuggets, was also missing. Fish and desserts really great, service very friendly. The side dishes for the main course were okay. We were allowed to taste the beer and cider before ordering. Espresso top. All in all, with extreme reservations, just under 4 stars.

We had a last minute decision weekend to get away from our life.... this little dinner crowned our wonderful day... we looked on google for a light little dinner and Anchor's rest was close and have already 4.8 stars on the maps..... Our host/bartender/waiter was Richard. He is a hard working honest guy and just loved his refreshing full hearted honest service!!!! The place is a lovely home feel bistro with a simple menu! We had the mussels starter and the fish of the day with linguine(number 2. ) both were amazing!! Sitting outside by the harbour was a soul healing peacful experience crowned by amazing food( cooked by an elderly lovely lady by the way) and Richard who always been there when needed!!!! ( NOTE for the owner!!! Richard is a crown jewel of your business,please give him a hug and treat him like king!) So all in all it is working and really good to have the reviews of places!! Anchor's rest has the extra shining 6th star in our heart!!!

We went to eat at Anchor's on August 12, 2023. The service was very warm, my wife, our daughter and I felt more than comfortable. The food was excellent. My tip for eating a pint of Devon Cuve or Devon Rock a fine local beer.

Warm and welcome service from the staff, good food too! Thank you so much for having us late on a Friday night. We enjoyed the fish of the day, lovely cooked seabass and the mussels with cream were delicious! I would recommend this place for the caring service and cosy inviting decor.

Staff were lovely, food was lovely. The upstairs restaurant interfered with the experience downstairs at the Anchor. They need to show the team and the guests downstairs more respect.

We decided to go out last minute and decided on this place as we had drinks here before and had promised ourselves to try the food and we were glad we did !!! We both chose the same main an absolutely banging piece of fish ( Hake) cooked to perfection with crispy skin and soft buttery flesh served on top of linguini with a chilli coconut sauce - so good !!!! Coupled with friendly service we had a lovely experience There is a small focussed menu which I love - ( do a few things well) and a special board There is a good bar and plenty of space for couples or groups of friends Top tip book if there are more then four It’s not a grand Resturant venue it’s a proper little bistro with nice decor and a great outdoor space by the Harbourside. (perfect for the harbour and better for it👍) From a couple of seats indoors you can see the harbour. So for drinks by the Harbour and/or a good meal with views of the harbour this is a keeper - we are so blessed with this place and the other offers on the vibrant Harbourside - truly yummy 😋

Very good service but food isn’t great. We had calamari and the oil looked like it hadn’t been changed in a very long time. Service was good but unfortunately the food ruined it so I won’t be back again.

What has happened here? Food was grossly over priced...£8.50 for THREE chicken goujons and a tiny handful of bagged salad.....chips were frozen cheap ones and calamari was awful. Was gorgeous last year but prices have increased and quality has definitely decreased big time. Won't be going back....

Very disappointing today! As a regular attendee for Sunday brunch. We ordered breakfast as normal when it arrived no mushrooms fried bread and hash browns and had to ask for the black pudding for the meat version of the breakfast. So only half of the items stated on the menu. Also more staff needed as the two in attendance were struggling to keep up!

Food here is amazing!!! We came twice during 4 day stay but next time we probably going to stick to this place only! Seth, the chef, cook fresh fish so it's succulent and juicy and flavour every other part of the dish to perfection. It's also not too busy, very reasonably priced and staff is friendly and welcoming! Highly recommended!

Tried this lovely new restaurant for the first time tonight and everything was so good! I had the beef bourguignon which as you can see from the photo is no looker but wow, it tasted so good, full of rich flavours and lovely garlic mash. My other half had the garlic chicken which he said was delicious also. There were only two desserts on the menu, so we had one of each. He had the waffle and caramel cheesecake (he said was yum) and I had the chocolate torte, both with pouring cream. The torte was very rich and delicious! I know that they're planning on extending their menu soon but the current offering was well worth coming out for & the staff are lovely. It is now owned by the same people as TJ's and the standards are just as high. Also, very good value for money 💖💜

Popped in for some eats plus coffee both very nice and well presented. Someone got up from the table and a middle age man, manager? Cleaned the tables down plus the chairs and cleaned floor. Next table free the youngster wiped the table with a Z action and walked off done the same with the next. It shows these youngsters do need managing to learn wherever they are.

We visit Brixham every year and always see this place when going to The Manor but never dared to go in as we didn't feel we knew enough about wine. However this year we decided to be brave boys and go in! SO SO glad we did! We both tried mystery wine flights and were honest that we would not be able to tell the grapes or countries, just which ones we likes. The owner was exceptional, he guided us on the wines, explained why we might like some and not the others, reccomended other wines to try based on the ones we liked and at no point made us feel "stupid" for not knowing the ins and outs of wine tasting etc. He reccomended a book to us which we have already ordered. The food is fantastic, just perfect to go with a bottle of wine or two, especially the manchego! We left very happy and with a bag full of goodies from the deli section along with a bottle of wine. CANOT WAIT to go back!!!! Thank you!

This place is so not worth the money charged. 464.00 original price for a family room for 2 nights. Neice was having wedding there. No communication. We were served butter and no rolls. Had to ask a few times people had finished there starter before I could get them. I wa Ted icecream for sweet, had told staff not a problem. But they then forgot me all together Nd had to ask 3 times again. The wedding party had all finished there desert. Since coming home I have contacted hotel now twice as was looking for my necklace. Even though have been promised twice now for a phone call this has still not happened. Staff are friendly enough but communication is absolutely awful. Bedrooms are clean very outdated. Wall paper coming off and marks of presumably coffee on wall..
