Following a nearly 30-minute wait for our food, the only positive aspect of this visit was our server's diligent efforts. Increased staffing is evidently required. Pub itself was quiet. Tuesday afternoon At 2:30 PM, the bartender provided unsatisfactory service, neglecting our presence at the bar for over five minutes while preparing coffee. A concise "I will be with you momentarily" would have been sufficient. The subsequent wait for the meal was considerable. The food quality was acceptable and served hot, which is commendable. However, apparent understaffing significantly impacted the level of service providedFurthermore, the cheesecake I ordered failed to arrive.

We have recently moved into the area and decided to visit our new local this weekend and were all thoroughly impressed! Friendly and welcoming atmosphere, the place was spotless and the food and service was some of the best we’ve experienced in these chain type of pubs. They have lots of amazing deals throughout the week and we will definitely make a habit of visiting regularly to make the most of them, today we had the super special menu for £11 which was excellent value and generous portions for the price! Highly recommend the jerk chicken and the flatbread. Children’s play area is a great addition however out of service on our visit today, hopefully our little ones can make the most of this next time we visit.

Nice New burgers on Menu.Quite quiet. Only two staff on duty doing everything. Waited to be served about 5 minutes in empty pub. The meal drinks were OK. However from the moment I stepped into the pub, and especially at the bar or ordering food bar, there was a horrendous smell of urine coming from the toilets. Emanating through the bar on the draft. It was disgusting. This is not the first time I could smell the odour from the toilets in the pub I truly believe its no fault of the staff. The mens toilets are outdated and in need of revamp. Get it sorted or you will continue to lose customers.

ZERO STAR'S FOR MANAGEMENT AND STAFF ATTITUDES. I would highly advise no one books Christmas Dinner or any meals.at this abysmal staffed place. Christmas booked dinner for 3 at £180 was supposed to include an Orange Juice or Prosceco after asking multiple times we along with a lot of other customers never received any at all, how that works I don't know as I always thought if you've paid for something then they are legally required to give you what you paid for. On arrival also went to order Latte or Tea and Drinks at Bar only to be told we don't have Latte or Tea, so forced to order Alcoholic Drinks as that's all they had available no Hot Drinks. Just when you thought it couldn't possibly get any worse, after feeling really ill after eating the Starter we politely asked if we could have a take out box/container or something so we could take home our paid for in advance MainCourse. The answer was an abrupt "NO" . So it seems they don't serve Hot Drinks they don't serve you the Presceco or Orange and if you find you can't eat your paid for food because your ill it has to be thrown in the Bin. This place is the worst I have ever been to in the whole of the UK 🇬🇧. Definitely avoid avoid avoid. There are thousands of far nicer place's to go out too in and around Liverpool and Merseyside. So sad really 😞 😢 as it seems to be a reasonably nice place from outside 😢. Well done for totally ruining Christmas 🎄 Give yourselves a Thumbs down. Thumbs 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎

We visited The Blue Anchor for Christmas dinner and were disappointed with the experience. We never received our welcome drinks, even after reminding the staff multiple times. My parents have small appetites and couldn’t finish their meals, leaving most of the food untouched. When we requested takeout boxes to bring the leftovers home, we were told it was against their policy, meaning we couldn’t take our prepaid food with us. As a result, we ended up wasting most of the meal, and £180 for three people essentially went to waste.

This pub is always offering a brill evening adventure out with a wide selection to choose from off both adult and childrens menus. The outside area is big enough however it does need an update as the wood (some of) isnt actually secure anymore on the play area. The decore also needs an uplift as its been the same for around 15+ years inside the pub. The biggest let down is the fact they used to provide live bands & djs years ago however these are not provided anymore and havnt done for a fair good while now. All the staff at this pub however are excellent and always happy to help where and when needed. Cal behind the bar has got a cheeky smile 100% of the time and Ella spent her time from the bar to serving our food! Very helpful and hard working staff. The new undermanager runs around like its his own business! Very pleasent and hard working individual and seems to get things done before its even arose. Brilliant.

We decided to have a meal here, mainly due to the play area. The outside looks tired but my little girl liked the play area so happy with that. When we came in the pub it wasn't hugely busy. It took us a couple of tries to find a table that wasn't either wobbly or sticky. We ordered our food through the app, where we found lots of options were out of stock. We ordered the super specials as they are on offer for £10 on a Saturday. My order of Lamb Keema Stack came out looking like it had been dumped on a plate from a great height. The samosas were dry and crushed up with a few chips, soggy crushed poppadoms and dumped with what looked like mince and peas. My picture is how it arrived at the table. The texture of the soggy chips and poppadoms was really off putting. The other two meals were fine, burgers and nuggets hard to get wrong. The service was ok at this point. We ordered deserts, it took 45 minutes for them to come out after asking staff twice where they were. They also came out separately, far apart enough that each was finished before the next came out. The toilets smelt mouldy and the hand drier did not work. The whole pub could do with an update- it could be amazing again, just looks so rundown now. Service was ok and play area is an asset in residential area for a pub but let down by kitchen and food. Other hungry horse food is much better than this one, suggesting it is a kitchen fault rather than menu/supplier. It's a shame as we would visit often with the play area being there but after this visit we won't return.

Thought I'd give this place another chance considering the first time comming here food was cold and when put the sausage roll in microwave started smoking and went black smelling like urnt plastic GRIM is a understatement 6 pound down the drain

Ignored by bar staff, when one of the party enquired if they could have a bottle of coke/pepsi instead of postmix in their drink they were told “No it’s Pepsi or nothing” Also told it wasn’t my turn at the bar because there was a queue (like a social club) Never heard of it. Seems if you are a regular the place is ok. To be avoided.
