Blue Anchor in Hammersmith and Fulham

Particular and evocative place on the banks of the Thames, a stone's throw from Hammersmith Bridge. We were welcomed by young, dynamic, very friendly staff who were attentive to customers' wishes. Really excellent.

After explaining my allergies and ordering £100 worth of food I was presented with food with my primary allergens. A sorry and a refund of the food I could not eat left me without dinner. Apart from almonds killing me. Sorry but a refund and no food is simply not good enough.

Really cool pub beautifully located!!!

Just needed a few more staff on a busy evening

This is a great old pub right by the river. Great atmosphere but can get very busy.

Relaxed location on the Thames. Good beer selection but toilets quite dirty

Excellent venue for a 60th. Very approachable, flexible and organised duty managers (Craig, Alfie; Natalie in Comms) which made planning both easy and precisely as I'd wanted, with scope to personalise the venue. Food and furniture positioned as requested. Staffing on the night was highly efficient and friendly (Nana, Will). Very popular platters (fish and chips; beef sliders; smoked salmon sarnies), especially pastel de nata. Reasonably priced selection of wine and/or drinks packages. Excellent Żubrówka vodka. A slick and enjoyable business transaction.

Fast, precise service and very good food.. We ordered fish and chips which arrived in 10 minutes.. Excellent and very friendly staff... Thank you

Historically awesome pub but not sure I'm a fan anymore. Could just be London prices but £14.80 for two lager shandies feels a little steep. Bar staff were fine, although I got the impression their conversation about how big their hands are, was more important than taking my order. That being said, it's a beautiful location and usually has a good atmosphere. Food is often pretty good although I didn't have any this time.

Service variable, some staff a bit slack. Food OK but nothing to rave about, decent burgers...fish not very tasty but looked good- frozen,?

We ate well. In August the kitchen closes at 10pm. In other places nearby they close the kitchen earlier and you cannot eat at that time, but you can drink. We arrived at 8.30pm We need to inform ourselves. Whoever served us at the table was kind. Nice pub on the Thames, informal as pubs should be... that's the beauty of them! Advised!

Was a nice experience, however some decision making when it came to service was unfortunately poor however will definitely be coming back

Nice place where to have a drink or meal along the river.

Pleasant lunch on the banks of the Thames. Careful service.

Nice pub good views to wards Hammersmith and the river old haunt

We had Sunday roast last week. Meal was disappointing to say the least. I had tiny portion of pork belly which was tough. Cauliflower cheese barely had any cheese, mainly flour and milk. There was barely there vegetable consisting of a tiny carrots and two sprouts of broccoli. There was no crispness to the potatoes and were still hard. Overall pretty diabolical meal. My partner had roast chicken and did not fare any better. Maybe Blue Anchor is relying simply on the location and view of the river to pull in customers. I definitely won't be a repeat customer.

Loved it. Amazing pub. I left some videos so you can see it gets really crowded on a sunny day. People are just there for a good time. Amazing vibe. Fries are really good as well :)

Solid food ..cool local on a sunny day

Nice pub with great food and an engaged service.

Great location, great vibe and very helpful staff even when super busy.

Their Sunday roast is PHENOMENAL!!! I can’t praise this place enough - the food was yummy, the service was FANTASTIC, and the price was amazing! Wojtek and Monika served us, and they were extremely friendly, efficient and catered to all our requests (I’m currently pregnant, so am quite picky with what I eat). Wojtek was also extremely helpful with the food recommendations, and his overall energy is amazing! They also seated us indoors (upstairs), in such a cosy seating area - I’ve seen this pub a lot from the outside, but never realised how massive it was on the inside. I’m definitely coming back here!!!

It was a very nice experience, the Beers were very tasty. I was craving scotch egg for a while and this hit the spot just right, splendid, I'm definitely coming back.

Good atmosphere and we ate very well

Love this place! Tad on the expensive side though

A somewhat young crowd, but great food and great ales - friendly workers too.

Blue Anchor is in an ideal location on the riverside, I regularly visit on my weekend walks. Usually I just stop for a drink but my partner and I decided to have lunch and the grub was great, we both got the fish and chips and couldn't fault it. We were served by Alfie who was very thorough in in talking us through the menu, he was attentive and made us feel very welcome the whole time, we will definitely be back for food.

Hello The staff was very friendly and attentive and the pub is really beautiful. The food in another hand is edible but that is all . The roast beef was as hard as my shoes soles , the roast potatoes not roast at all and old , same for the Yorkshire pudding ( old ) and the gravy straight out from the box … very disappointing ! I will comeback for drinks but sadly not for food as overpriced for the quality we get …. Shame as such a a gem of location

Met my mrs for the first time here and we’re still together so I’d recommend

Very characteristic place. Courteous service but high staff and a little slow to clear the tables of previous customers and it was a little dirty but it was a Saturday night.... Nice people who frequent it

Quaint pub, very good food! Very good value for money. Had the truffle soup and the cheeseburger with fries with truffle parmesan... that was really good!

My £17 Chicken Caesar salad - five lettuce leaves, a burnt bone dry little finger size sliver of chicken & two pieces streaky bacon - underwhelmed

Great food. Especially the pie. Fantastic views of the river

Brought my dad here for fathers day, Sunday lunch was delicious. Staff were lovely, especially Sully. Great friendly service. Will definitely come again.

Good location for a pint. Grumpy and slightly rude manager. Oh well, it’s pints isn’t it.

It is a fantastic spot to grab a beer and enjoy the view of the river! Their selection is top-notch, offering an impressive variety of craft beers. Whether you’re into hoppy IPAs, smooth stouts, or crisp lagers, they’ve got you covered. The staff are awesome too – super friendly and really know their stuff when it comes to beer. They’re always ready with great recommendations and are more than happy to chat about the latest additions to the menu. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it the perfect place to relax with a pint. One thing to note: this place gets busy, and for good reason! I’d definitely suggest booking in advance to snag a spot. All in all, The Blue Anchor is a must-visit for any beer enthusiast!

Brilliant Saturday evening dinner and drinks by the river. Food was delicious and a fun atmosphere. The pub was busy but we were incredibly well looked after by the team. Special thanks to Alfie who went out of his way to make us welcome. He is a credit to the pub. We hope to be back soon!

Three day old roast potatoes, roast beef like an old boot, wait staff who don’t care, couldn’t cut the broccoli with a knife, but a nice setting. Replying to the reply - we would have provided this feedback if asked, but the waiter before didn’t at any point during the meal, even when presenting the bill, ask how the meal was. At this price you expect better than that, so I was a bit shocked.

Booked a table outside on a sunny Sunday afternoon, we were seated straight away by a lovely member of the bar staff. I had some problems with the Mixr app however this was sorted promptly and kindly by Adam! His service was brilliant throughout our entire visit. We had crab tacos and the Sunday roasts which were all brilliant, and service was quick even though it was extremely busy. They even made sure to give our furry friend water and make her feel welcome 🐾 Will definitely visit again!

Lovely pub on the river overlooking Hammersmith Bridge. Good range of beers. Outdoor seating available but gets very crowded on a nice evening.

Had a great great time today, Vitoria was very welcoming and made me and the family feel more than comfortable, would highly recommend

Great pub with excellent service. Highly recommend, special thanks to Vitoria for hosting us !

Love the place and ambiance right at the water, the food is great and amazing view

Great pub. Great view of Thames from outside. Very crowded though because it was a Very warm sunny spring Friday night and it took a long time to get served.

We ordered a pie to share. The pie was very good and juicy, but it was a little small. The most expensive beer in London is here: almost £8

Definitely one of the best pubs on the river. Still a classic looking pub inside which is fantastic with great decor. Good selection of drinks on the menu. Didn’t have any food but it looked fantastic. Used to stop here a lot on riverside bike pub crawls. Still as good as it ever was. Definitely worth going out of your way to visit.

No better boozer to stand outside of and get horribly burnt in those long summer days. This place is kerlasss

The staff were fantastic. They all made sure I was very well looked after and I was.

Cake here for lunch with my partner and Craig and the team here were so nice and welcoming, they gave an amazing service and we will be going back

Lovely place, would definitely come back!

Standing at bar and they rang last bell as we were waiting to order.. Response: Hi Blue Anchor Team, Thank you for getting back to me. I understand your company policy, but I wanted to share a different viewpoint. In most pubs I've visited, it's customary to allow customers the chance to order when the last call bell rings. This ensures everyone has a fair opportunity to enjoy their evening until closing time. Being flexible with last orders is appreciated by patrons and contributes to a more welcoming atmosphere. Many pubs I've been to extend the last order window, even after the bell, especially if they've been serving drinks in plastic to-go cups most of the evening. Considering this, I suggest reconsidering your approach to last orders to better match industry standards and improve customer satisfaction. This simple adjustment could make a positive difference and enhance your pub's reputation. Thank you for taking this into account. Best regards ;)

My recent trip to the Blue Anchor was okay, but there were a couple of things that didn't sit right with me, especially their last call policy. My friends and I were waiting to place our orders, but the staff seemed incredibly slow that night. We'd been standing at the bar for a good five minutes before the last call bell rang, and instead of trying to take our order, they went ahead and rang it. Another thing that bugged me was that they were serving drinks in plastic cups for most of the night even when glasses were clearly availble. If they're going for that vibe, it wouldn't hurt to be a bit more flexible with the last order window. Overall, the pub was just average. The staff were friendly enough, but the atmosphere was nothing to write home about. If you're looking for a better pub experience, there are plenty of other options nearby with more relaxed policies and a cozier vibe.

Lovely place for a drink and food, better if the sun is shining

Burgers were dry, chewy and seemed stale. Non-existent service. Not worth the money.

Loved this venue's rich historic charm and scenic riverside views, perfect for a relaxed evening. I've added it to my barguide.london site too!

On the pricy side, but a great steak and a lovely atmosphere! The staff were really friendly and attentive.

I would love to come again and come again and come again...and come again!!!!So wonderful and authentic everything!!!

Good food-especially the fish and chips, great portion size also which helps. Gets busy on sunny days as it’s by the river but good spot. Decent value

Came here for fish and chips with my family last week. Stunning views of the Thames and Hammersmith Bridge with lovely food and staff. Alfie really looked after us and offered us a table by the window even though we didn’t make a reservation. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Bit on the expensive side but that’s London for you in general. Gave a tip but didn’t even get a smile or thank you from it, so won’t be doing that again. Took a while to be served and in general the atmosphere inside is a bit stuffy. We sat outside and enjoyed the sun which was much nicer, although cyclists and runners cause chaos down here, almost two fights in only 20 minutes. I love this place tho as it has a place in Sliding doors and it’s got a fantastic location.

Took a date here for a few drinks and had a great time. The downstairs area looked ideal for watching sports but we went upstairs where the atmosphere was quieter with a nice view of the river. Staff were very friendly and accomodating and the drinks were at good prices considering the location. The outside area is also lovely so if the weather is nice it's a great spot.

Rude manager Adam, bad attitude, waited 20min for portion of chips too.

Went for dinner. Waitress of her own accord offered options for a salad, which we agreed. When it didnt arrive, another waiter and waitress insulted us by saying we were paying less so we couldn't get what we wanted. When they themselves had offered it. Manager ignored us. Total shambles with no respect for customers. I would avoid.

Quite a nice place for somewhere to eat

One of the worst burgers I've ever had. Edible but that's about it. Overcooked, low quality grisly mince, a pathetic piece of lettuce and some basic aioli in an oversized brioche bun. Truffle chips were false advertisement best described as grated cheese chips. Food took far too long to arrive and it wasn't peak period. If you're charging full price put in full price effort.

Great pub in the river. Good beer.

Very good beef roast and very attentive staff. Well done 👏

Came oh a busy evening. Unfortunately there were not enough staff. It took 15-20 minutes to get a drink order at the bar. The asahi was poor and the Guinness was out of stock. Very unfortunate as I'd heard good things about this place. Such a shame.

The Blue Anchor is my favourite pub in London, Staff always welcoming and friendly. Great atmosphere. No where better for a pint by the river in the sun.

I was originally looking for a pub that stocks Jeremy Clarkson's Hawkstone beer. Unfortunately, this trip was almost free, except for the fact that the fish and chips were really good. The food was delicious, but the service was a bit clumsy and not particularly welcoming. The ambience was okay, but you didn't really feel comfortable. A quick note to other Hawkstone fans: you won't find the beer here. And to the owner - it would be better if you took yourself off the Hawkstone map."

Lovely pub on the Thames. We were very lucky that the sun was out so sat outside. God priced drinks and food for London. Staff friendly and efficient. Toilets could do with regular cleaning.

Our favourite West London pub! We had a wonderful evening for my husband’s birthday recently with a gorgeous room overlooking the river with its own bar. Very friendly service and nice food. Look forward to returning in the summer and enjoying the views over the river and Hammersmith bridge. Top!

Good pub, decent but small selection of beers. Great view of the river and cosy feel. Food was well received all round. - 1 star for the terrible cleanliness of their toilets, water all over the floor and felt really unhygienic.

Ordered food and drinks at the bar. Waited 45 minutes and our food has still not arrived (chips and pork belly bites) went to say something and they said “our system said table 5 we searched for your forever”, which is odd considering we were seated at the inside bar literally right next to where we ordered and told the server this when the order was placed. The management was very nice about the mistake, however when our chips arrive they were cold with cold Parmesan cheese (you’d think after waiting 45 minutes they would make sure we had fresh chips) pork belly bites are very small and just fat. Would not recommend, which is sad because it has a nice view and management seems kind. Maybe better bar staff or table system would help?

Nice pub next to the river and Hammersmith bridge. Service is nice and food is good. I took the fish and chips and it was nice and tasty. We went on a week day evening so it was quiet because you cannot see well the bridge. On a sunny weekend it can get very crowded.

My friends and I had a great Sunday roast at this pub. Tipycal British pub, right on the river Thames. From the upstairs seats you can enjoy a beautiful view of the river. They have recently renovated so the place now is even nicer than before. outside seats also available. My friend had the roast chicken and I had the vegan version. Quality of the food was great and portions were just right . Great selection of beers on tap:I reccomend their own lager, ( blue anchor). We did not had dessert as we were already full. Only one 'negative' thing was the espresso we ordered, which was more an americano (we are Italians so we have quite an obsession for good espresso).a part for this minor thing everything was perfect. Price in the average. Excellent service, professional and friendly. I would definitely reccomend this place for a Sunday roast, or for any other occasions. For couple or for friends. Also pet friendly!

Amazing food and service - Adam our waiter was fab, really attentive and accommodating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We booked dinner for 18 people to celebrate my husband's birthday at the Blue Anchor last Saturday. The whole event was brilliantly organised by the team at the Blue Anchor. The food was lovely with a great variety of choice and generous portions. The bar staff were excellent and very helpful and the upstairs room was a great place to hold a private party. Overall a great experience enjoyed by everyone.

We completed another part of the Thames Path today and came across this gem when crossing over Hammersmith Bridge, so lucky to get a table walking in. Excellent and first class service, really lovely atmosphere and set in such a beautiful location overlooking the Thames, within the shadow of Hammersmith Bridge almost. We had Pie and Mash which was simply delicious, we highly recommend this fine place, try it!

Great experience including a variety of food on the menu, which was all delicious! Highly recommend this place.

Loved it here! Will definitely come by again. Vicky was especially helpful and funny x

Great room upstairs for a private party, with a great barman.

great atmosphere and lovely staff

I had a great experience recently in Blue Anchor! The atmosphere is great and everyone is friendly and easy going, definitely a great place for socialising. A big shoutout to Vicky, giving us a 5 star service the whole time. I will definitely visit again!

Had a tremendous experience, food and drinks are top notch with the atmosphere too, also the bartender victoria was hospitable and hilarious too!

We visited this lovely Thames side pub for a late Friday lunch. The location is so lovely, next to Hammersmith Bridge, with Thames views & a great seating area outside. We ate our lunch inside in the bar which was very cosy. We ordered seam breams & bacon chops, all of which were divine, really really great food. Both Monica & Craig were outstanding helpful & friendly staff & it really felt like they cared. I only wish it was my local. We also checked out the upstairs dining floor & it was gorgeous, with views that made it feel like you were almost in the river. I think downstairs for cosy bar dining & upstairs for views & a bit more space. Either way you will be happy here. Thanks to both of you & the rest of this fabulous team.

It’s a great atmosphere and really cute decoration. They have great local beer. Unfortunately, I had a dirty glass which was exchanged of course but still doesn’t give you a good feeling. The food was okay, but I wouldn’t eat there again specially for the price. I don’t think it is value for price. Would I come again? For drinks for sure, for food no.

One of my favourite pubs in London! And a go to for when I meet up with my mates. Beautiful location on the riverfront - with excellent staff (shout out to the Adam who I believe is the supervisor and the bartender (Luke I believe). - brilliant food. Great vibes in the summer with a buzzing crowd outside and cosy in the winter. Been going here for 3 years at least once a month and have never had a bad drink, poor service or a bad time. Keep it up!

Over years of visiting London we used to enjoy fish and chips along the River Thames. The ones we knew were full on January 1 and we found space at the Blue anchor. Surprise. This dish is delicious with fish to match, fries and extra sauces. In addition we had a baby and a location in a small room which allowed 6 adults to have space for the stroller. WC with changing table. Friendly and attentive staff.

Lovely pub. Very disappointing that there is no beer price shown, neither in the oub or online ( amd it's 7.50 for Birra Morretti).!!!

Lovely food. Lovely staff. Highly recommend.

Always good for a pint. Nice crowd.

Cozy pub with great location by the river! Sai was a legend! Fantastic service from him! Get yourself a pint from this man

I am celiac and the owner made me a gluten free beer battered fish and chips. Crispy, light and delicious ! Even changed the oil in the fryer. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you xxx

Love this pub - definitely my favourite! Great atmosphere and great staff. Sai is a star! Masterful Guinness!

Granted the location is great on the river by Hammersmith Bridge, but there’s a lot to be done on the venue side. The bar service was unbelievably slow. It took two members of staff about 15 minutes to serve three customers. The situation was completely ludicrous as one of the staff laboriously made two hot drinks. The division of labour here leaves much to be desired. It would be nice if when having a long wait you got an acknowledgment or an apology. No such luck here. Once a round of two pints (one of which was an ale) came to £14.15 it was the final insult. They need to up their game here and be more sensible with their prices.

Beautiful atmosphere along the thames and very friendly service from bartenders Alfie and Sy. We didn’t try the food but the drinks were great and warmed us up!

A true gem in the heart of Hammersmith, the Blue Anchor is a welcoming haven that perfectly captures the essence of an English pub. From the moment you step through the door, you're enveloped by a warm and inviting atmosphere, with traditional décor, exposed brick walls, and a friendly buzz that instantly puts you at ease. Our visit was a prime example of the pub's exceptional service. Despite our oversight in not confirming our reservation, the staff handled our situation with grace and professionalism, finding a table for us within minutes due to a last-minute cancellation. The Blue Anchor's menu is a testament to its status as a classic gastropub. We indulged in their signature dishes, starting with the braised beef with bourguignon sauce, which was melt-in-your-mouth tender and infused with rich, savory flavors. The cheese mash potatoes served alongside were a delightful accompaniment, adding a creamy indulgence that perfectly complemented the beef. My girlfriend opted for the classic roast dinner turkey, which was a towering spectacle of culinary delight. The turkey was cooked to perfection, juicy and succulent, while the cranberry sauce brought a burst of tangy sweetness that balanced the earthy flavors of the roast potatoes and carrots. As we savored our meals, we couldn't help but admire the pub's enviable location right on the banks of the River Thames. The ambiance was enhanced by the gentle lapping of the water against the riverbank, creating a tranquil backdrop to our dining experience. The Blue Anchor is a must-visit for anyone seeking a taste of traditional English hospitality and cuisine. With its warm atmosphere, friendly staff, and exceptional food, the Blue Anchor is a true gem that will leave you wanting more.

Sai was an amazing bar tender. You didn’t have the beer we wanted but gave an amazing explanation of the beers you had on tap and fantastic service.

Adam provided excellent service despite our late arrival, accommodating us for dinner. The meal was great, we went for the fish and chips and turkey. The portion sizes were generous, and the pub had a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
