Crown and Anchor Pub in East Riding of Yorkshire

Wow! food was incredible! We came in after hearing about the fish and chips and it did not disappoint. not to forget the chefs homemade tartare sauce, I dont know any other places that offer that and it was the perfect touch. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the landlord created a great atmosphere. will definitely be coming again. They even offered dog treats at a small price for the dogs in the pub, will be recommending to our friends!

What a wonderful place’n Such a welcome!! Amazing landlords. We had a beautiful lunch , Haddock and chips and scampi the nicest fish I have had in a long time. The menu was great and so much choice, the music playing was also great. We are staying in patrington and we are going back again for another lovely meal and to look out at the amazing view. Thank you 😃

Haven't been for a few years and to be honest we were disappointed, didn't fancy carvery so ordered steak pie, rubbery pastry,tough steak,frozen chips really disappointed, venison burger hard as nails won't be going again ,was looking forward aswell!

Only visit if desperate... Pretends to be dog friendly but we rang early afternoon to book a table with 2 people and a dog. Specifically asked for a quiet area put of the way and was assured of this. Arrived at pub and was given a table near the main thoroughfare and certainly not out of the way. Lots of empty tables everywhere with 'reservations' on them which remained empty throughout our visit which was at 5pm. Food was standard pub lunch fare, nothing special but over priced. My haddock was watery and lacked flavour with about a dozen chips. Slime coming out of the vinegar bottle(very old) and the selection of sauces available was poor and cheap standard catering quality. All in all a bit of a let down!!

Words can’t express how happy we was we visited this pub, we had just visited the nature reserve and decided to have a quick drink on route back to the car , The food looked lovely and while we was there the amount of bookings that kept on coming for meals was unbelievable considering where this pub is situated,The Landlord came over and enquired if we would be eating as they was getting busy and recommend booking which we did. The food was absolutely delicious, the staff was excellent and I can’t recommend this place enough. A British pub at its best is all i can say

We had the Sunday Carvery and Kleftico from the Specials board. Forget about a freshly cooked piece of beef, freshly cooked to a juicy medium doneness. This was probably cooked yesterday to even, grey textured well done cardboard that even the server at the carvery counter had difficulty carving, laughing that his knife wasn't sharp, it bl**dy should be. Where the meat was over cooked, the veg was undercooked, hard and cold! Crispy roast potatoes? Not a chance, they were soft and floppy having been reheated as witnessed by the age rings under the skin. As for the Kleftico, that wonderful red wine marinated piece of shoulder of spring lamb with a rich dark sauce, a classic Greek dish. Not a chance! It was last week's roast lamb hacked up and put in a tasteless watery gruel with a few of the hard veg and some barely boiled potatoes. Often described as the First or Last pub in Yorkshire, first due to it's geographical location and now I can understand the Last, because of its standard of food.

We were so lucky to find this has a carpark stop over In our camper van on our travels (10/08). The service was 5star from the time we walked through the door, staff were very friendly and so welcoming. It was lovely to see a great working relationship vibe between the staff. Food was so nice, best Lamb curry I've had. The place certainly comes with a view, both day and night but the sun set was well worth waiting for, we will definitely be returning. Thank you to all at Crown & Anchor for making our overnight stay an enjoyable one. Richard & Clare

I keep returning to this wonderful place with friends and also alone. Beautiful position with stunning views and the bar and rooms are kept spotless. It is very well managed and the staff provide a fantastic service. They are always courteous, efficient and do everything to make your visit enjoyable. The menu is extensive and the food prepared to an excellent standard. A delightful oasis. Thank you.

Sunday lunch as per usual excellent value and fantastic friendly service you always make us feel welcome and our furbabies are made to feel welcome too which makes that fantastic for us , keep up the great work guys and gals and not forgetting fantastic views across the estuary too , what could be better

We pre booked our table and stay in our motorhome. (We have visited before for drinks but it must have been 11 plus years ago!) Before our stay my husband had to seek emergency medical treatment which meant us delaying our table booking by a half hour or so. We only just got parked when we arrived and moved our van to a better spot much later when it was quieter. The place was buzzing with locals and regular tourists alike. The staff are super friendly and accommodating! They are also very good with food allergy and intolerance - when you carry Epi pens that’s good to know! We enjoyed our evening meal and had a great view of the estuary. One special and one standard menu item. They serve local ales as well as standard choice. We were too full for dessert! The next day we had a wander around Spurn / Kilnsea and decided to eat early - this time outside. Again two good specials and great service. If you want to eat at the weekend I would recommend booking - likewise if you are in your motorhome they allow a maximum of 4 - space permitting. Good honest home cooking! We would return and recommend.

Excellent food and very friendly service staff couldn't do enough can't wait to go back got a window seat to view the humber whilst we ate

This pub is great,the food is excellent and the beer is great too, the portions of the food are tremendous and beautifully cooked and served,the team that run the pub are so friendly and hospitable,there's not one thing I can fault it for,well worth the visit,and the team that run it know their local history

We are staying nearby in a campsite and on our third day we decided to eat lunch at the pub. My wife ordered a Hot Beef sandwich in ciabatta bread with chips, mushy peas and gravy. I ordered A Yorkshire pudding wrap which came with roast beef, peas, carrots with 7 roast potatoes and a jug of gravy. Great taste, very filling , I struggled to eat it all, and only £8.50 each dish. Plus there were numerous other choices of dishes and a specials board. Of course the beer was great and the rose wine is recommended. Add to this the Landlord is a great host , all the staff are hospitable. The landlord recommended visiting Spurn point, which we did, a good walk for us or you can take the Spurn Point tour. Spurn point is worth a visit but you must go to the pub, it is the most easterly pub in Yorkshire.

Really warm welcome from all the staff. Great to see a few vegitarian options on the menu. We opted for the vegi burgers which were fantastic. Great value for money and GOOD portion sizes.

Just had the new roast beef sandwich chips and mush peas with gravy. Bloody lovely well worth money. Gravy was to die for😀

Party of 17 of us for family celebration meal and the staff and food were fantastic! The Sunday carvery was delicious and the steak and ale pie and fish and chips were amazing! The service here is always excellent, and the chefs Charlie and Max are super friendly and the pub owners David and Adrian are very welcoming. This pub is located in the most beautiful setting overlooking the river and would recommend a drive out to eat and drink here. We will definitely return soon. Thank you to all the staff :)

Super food lovely service beautiful situation the view is amazing the beer is good too if you like a walk a great place for a walk

Another excellent meal at this fantastic pub Service is always excellent, and the chef always so accommodating Of your in the area make the effort to visit

We ate at the Crown and Anchor over two nights. I had the Fish and chips on the first night, excellent fresh fish, crispy batter and proper mushy peas. Night two was the venison stew, superd and would have easily graced a fancy restaurant. Great value for money as was the lovely Tetleys bitter pumped and served in the proper manner. Charlie and the rest of the team look great care of us and a wonderful time was had during our stay atvSpurn bird Obs.

Just had the best Sunday Lunch , great quality two big slabs of beef . The staff truly amazing friendly and chatty . Great views too and well worth the drive out

We have dined at the Crown and Anchor each time we have visited Kilnsea and find the food, staff and ambience excellent. We look forward to returning in the spring. Paula and David Wragg

Wonderful place as always. Made to feel very welcome and the food was excellent . There's nothing we would critique here- a lovely, cosy place to visit

Stopped off for a beer after a run on the nearby beach near spurn head. This pub as a lovely sea view across wetland on the inland side of spurn point and there are other tables further back in an area with trees and grass. Can't comment directly on the food as we didn't eat, but people were waiting with a drink sat outside for a table to come free for the Sunday carvery so that must be a good sign. Local ales available as I had the great newsome honkers. Nice location for a drink and if you pick the right day and time a sunset.

Great ambience, service was first class and the food heavenly. Staff were friendly and went above and beyond

Sunday carvery was 5 star would highly recommend, all produce was sourced locally and food was plentiful. It was very busy so would definitely book a table in advance.

Food is good british pub food all cooked fresh. Service was excellent and reasonably priced. The view across the humber while eating is excellent. Take some time to visit this great pub.

This pub serves extremely well kept ale . This pub has an exceptional view over the estuary. This pub has excellent staff who never fail to deliver good service however busy they may be. I will be going again as soon as I can!

We celebrated our wedding day here and the staff couldn’t have done more to make it the special day it was. They catered for our every need. Chef Charlie made sure to chat through our dietary requirements (there were a lot!) prior to the day, and on the day made sure to check we were happy with everything. He went above and beyond to cater for us and the food was fabulous! The steaks ordered were cooked to perfection and the prawn starter was delicious. The new pies on the menu went down a treat and my daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our gluten free pudding! We were looked after so well by the waiting staff and David and Adrian made us feel so welcome. Thank you so much too all of you it was everything we hoped for and we will remember it always.

This place was recommended for it's Sunday carvery. Visited today and well worth it. Truly delicious. We also came a couple of weeks ago for lunch and dinner. Great food and charming staff. Dave, the owner, is very sweet. The outside belies the interior which is lovely. We'll probably be back at least two more times this month . Absolutely great place!

Had seen the Sunday lunch on Facebook and decided to go and try it. Had a most enjoyable meal which was piping hot and delicious. Would highly recommend this venue and will most definitely be returning

Only one friendly person serving behind the bar, so always a delay for service. Over cooked cod, served with what appeared to be oven chips, tasteless chicken special was disappointing. Having had a lovely walk around Spurn Point sad to say although I’ll be back...

Absolutely superb! We’d read the reviews and were definitely not disappointed. Wonderful welcome, superb service and delicious food. We had the carvery and it was faultless. Would highly recommend and we hope to be back!

Inspite of not being booked, the team were very kind to squeze me in last minute, deal being I had to order my food ASAP. This was fine by me as I'd been out on the nature reserve since 5.30AM and wanted an early meal....

Beautiful pub. Obviously cared for and loved. Great staff- Kerry/Kelly...an asset!! HOWEVER - the menu is pretentious and overpriced. Lacking in thought for potential clients wanting something which would suit the premises. No hot snack-style food at lunchtimes.

Having stayed at a nearby b&b in Kilnsea several times in the past, we have always dined at the Crown and Anchor. The menu is very reasonably priced and the food has always been excellent, the staff friendly and the interior cosy and atmospheric. We...

Lovely welcome, great service. Menu is good, I chose Scampi and have to say the best I have had. Wasnt overcooked and dark in colour it was lightly cooked and tasted of fish.

Delicious food, excellent range of beer and wine. Lovely friendly waitress and bar staff. Very highly recommended (especially the excellent curries!)

Just had a Sunday roast. Albeit late in the day the food was still very good for a carvery. Excellent value for money . Same with the drinks. Service efficient and pleasant. Nicely furnished rooms and some stunning views across the estuary from the picture...

We went to the Crown & Anchor on a lovey summer evening, seated at a table looking it over the Humber Estuary. The welcome was very friendly, and the service was very attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal - the menu had some interesting dishes,...

Good choices on menu and specials board. Attentive staff & friendly landlord. Great views across the estuary and fabulous sunsets. Within walking distance from two caravan parks. Reasonable prices.

Food and ambiance excellent Staff were attentive but not in your face We had the fish and chips. Fish was slightly over done but I am being critical. Overall an excellent meal at a reasonable price

You'd only find this place if you were on your way to Spurn Point (which we were). A really surprising place to have a pub with no main roads or major populated areas around. Inside it is nicely decorated and clean and has a great...

We have been in the crown many times and we have never been disappointed, it really is the best in the area, lovely people and great food and ale, nothing more to say really 5stars all day long

We had the carvery for the third time and the food once again was superb, as we ate early evening we had the pleasure of the very talented pianist which made for a pleasant atmostphere. We would highly recommend this pub it's our first port...

Great meal again, homely atmosphere and friendly staff. Food was great, the fish offer is a bargain! This is the third time we’ve eaten here and will keep coming back 😀

It was an amazing deal. The fish was beautiful and the scampi cooked to perfection. We sat looking out over the Humber Estuary all the way across to Grimsby were the lights along the sea front looked magical. We recommend going for a cosy night...

The wife and I had a lovely meal and drink here after an invigorating walk around Spurn Head. Good quality food and not expensive. Highly recommended if you're out that way.

Had a lovely meal with an open fire on a cold autumn night Fantastic views over the Humber estuary The Tetley bitter was kept in fine fettle The entertainer singing country music that night was excellent also Thanks so much for being there

We visited the Crown and Anchor Friday 19th November.. I’m a regular visitor However on this occasion I was very disappointed, my two friends and myself ordered Sirloin steak, which I have had before.. This meal comes with chips and all the trimmings .. We...

Visited the Crown and Anchor at Kilnsea. The food ( carvery) was excellent. All the staff were very helpful and happy 😁. Cosy and warm with open fires. Views to die for especially at sunset. Added bonus, you can take your pooch.

Lovely clean and friendly place. We booked a table for 5 for a Sunday dinner, we weren’t disappointed. 4 had starters and all enjoyed, 1 had the steak pie and was over joyed with the amount. 4 had the Sunday roast and weren’t disappointed. Deserts...

I've eaten at the Crown & Anchor several times before whilst holidaying in Kilnsea and the food has always been amazing. I was looking forward to eating here again but, I have to say, I was really disappointed, particularly with the prawn cocktail (the prawns...

Went for lunch today with mumIn law and sister in law. Food as always was amazing well presented and tasted delicious. Service always with a smile and good banter. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants good food in a friendly welcoming atmosphere. Mum in law said it’s best roast beef sandwich she has ever had!Lovely lovely people.

Had whole tail scampi, chips and salad and fish coupons with salad. The chips were just horrible cold and dry, the frozen oven type. The scampi was hard, overcooked tiny tasteless dark brown empty balls...obviously pre frozen cheap composite. The salad was some scruffy iceberg lettuce with one translucent micro thin slice of dull old tomato with two flecks of bell pepper. The fish coujons were tiny thin over cooked hard, cold dark brown batter....again obviously pre frozen cheap junk. This food was so hard to get down as it was extremely dry and hard. I asked the landlord and cook why can't they make fresh food? Their reply was ..."we make everything fresh and the chips are hand cut and deep fried" I laughed and told them that they are dishonest! This is NOT fresh home cooked food! This food is worse than a cheap motorway service but. The landlord and cook have no manners and all the love and passion has gone! They didn't even apologise or take some money off the bill as I'd left most of the food. What a shame that a pub with stunning views has become a lifeless, dull boozer. Simple fresh honest food isn't hard or expensive to do!! Been coming to this pub for years - no more.

We had booked a table outside but on arrival were told we could not sit in the beer garden which was warm and sheltered,could only sit at the front where it was cold and windy!!When i popped by last monday lunchtime no food was on offer,apparently the staff hadnt had time to make any!We have been customers here for 30 years and this is the first time we have had a bad experience like this,afraid we wont be back.Present owners seem to have lost interest,SHAME.

Last minute meal here tonight, excellent quick service and really lovely food. Great friendly staff too definitely visit again

Been to Crown again after a year of not being able to and everything was excellent as always!The food was absolutely gorgeous, the staff were all lovely. My friends and I loved it that much and were so relaxed with how peaceful it was that we’ve been twice in a week. Couldn’t recommend anywhere more. Plus who could complain with that view?

Couldn't review the meal,We have eaten here many times in the past so I thought this will be a treat for my wife's 60th birthday,booked for 1215 lunch,left a contact no.Arrived 1205 the pub was shut no answer at the doors.phoned 4 times no answer.a delivery driver arrived,I asked if it was open,he said he would enquire,he came back and said the owner would be out to explain,he explained that the electricity had gone off so they couldn't open.I can accept this but why not a call earlier to explain and we wouldn't have travelled. Disappointed.

First time inside a public house this year for obvious reasons. We had heard some great feedback from other visitors, who commented “how safe they felt”We were not disappointed, the current set of rules were carried out to the letter, you could not have felt more safe.The food was good pub grub, and the drinks, very reasonable, the service was spot on, and every care was taken when ordering and being served.We really enjoyed it and will definitely call in again. Thank you for making us feel welcomed and more importantly very safe.

Had a one night break - excellent! Felt very safe and extremely friendly hosts! Good local homemade food and comfortable clean rooms. Gorgeous views from the three beautiful bay windows in the pub. Definitely will visit again soon highly recommend.

I love it here. Cosy fire, wonderful view of all the waders and great food. We had prawn cocktails that were really generous, scampi, kleftiko and chicken all superb. Puddings great choice too with blackberry and apple pie; pecan pie and huge ice cream sundae, with Timothy Taylor too what more could you ask ?

Been a lot now its been taken over and have not been disappointed yet. All organised and very safe. Lovely friendly staff who always come and ask if alls OK. Always get the fish as its delicious, my hubby always trys something new. If your passing you should pop in for food you wouldn't be disappointed.

We had one night in Kilnsea staying in our motorhome at a local caravan site. Went here for dinner and had a great experience. Good beer, really interesting 'specials' on food menu and also the standard pub fare. Friendly staff and excellent quality food. We will come back.
