Just been for a special birthday tea for my little boy. Served and looked after by the ever so happy Martin. Four different meals ordered two adults two children very good quality for a great price. The kids large deserts were just that huge.

Good food at low prices, but hurry as it may all change this summer with a major reorganisation on the horizon with higher prices and less choice.

I took my parents here for a meal today (Tuesday) lunchtime and arrived shortly before midday. We found the pub to be quiet, which was good since we had a choice of tables. My parents had never been here before and were impressed with the relaxed atmosphere and varied menu. The waiting time for the food was just right; not too fast or too slow, although I'm not sure how it would be at peak times. The food itself was reasonably sized portions, served nice and hot. Service was friendly and polite. For the price you cannot expect Michelin star food, but overall a good experience and great value for money.

Firstly, it seems pretty obvious that all of your recent reviews are just your mates. Who on earth goes to a pub and leaves a vague review mentioning all staff members by name?!! Showed up here for dinner on a Sunday at 5.30pm and we were very confused as to why the restaurant was completely empty. A year ago the place was heaving. All became clear when the food arrived. Most of the stuff on the menu was unavailable. My sons burger looked good but the roast dinners were terrible. Everything on the plate had been microwaved, carrots were both soggy and rock hard, that's a new one on me. All the veg was microwaved to death, no one ate it. My daughter's chicken nuggets were incinerated. The gravy was just brown oily water. At least it was hot, unlike everything else. Staff were nice enough but why on earth are they serving up this terrible food?! I now see that you have many many terrible reviews, yet you've done nothing about it... Apart from trying to hide behind the fake reviews. How about employing trained chefs and buying fresh ingredients? I only checked reviews because my 3yr old was sick all night. Make a change before you hurt someone.

First visit to this pub and really impressed. Staff (Karen & Shona) could not have been more helpful. The chef managed to serve up two 4oz steaks, rare, along with his favourite garlic and coriander sauce. A large glass of Rioja for £6.69!!! This is a simple unpretentious pub, very reasonably priced, well run with excellent staff andvr thusiastic chef. I will definitely be back.

Awful experience in the anchor last night .we had booked a table for 6.15 pm as we had a large number of family visiting from scotland.The pub was quiet apart from a table of 6 arriving at the same time as us . We were told that there would be a 45 minute wait on food which surprised us as the place was quiet.The 45 minute wait ended up being nearly a 2 hour wait We ordered food at 6.45 and my meal didn't come out until 8.20!! The waitress Karen was apologetic and worked very hard to bring meals out alone.The only positive part of our experience was the lovely Karen.! However the meals came out sporadically and so meant we could not eat together . The older children were geting hungry and tired . We were told the chef was on his own as another chef had called in sick ! SURELY knowing you had a bigger party booked more staff would be on hand ? It was a terrible experince and no money off was offered for the wait and inconvienince .The food when it came out was luke warm and i wont be recomending the pub to anyone. As we walked in the back door to the pub it smelt disgusting from the toilets The locals were at the bar swearing loudly whilst we were standing at the bar whilst the bar man said nothing to them. The big space we were in was cold causing my my mother inlaw to have to eat with her coat on . An terrible dining experience .

I have been charged £60 for parking at the Royal Anchor, Liphook. It was dark and I didn't see any signs outside warning me about that. On entering the building, being a gentleman, I let my wife go first,,, so she obscured the sign on the door etc from my view. Then, when I made our group's food order, no-one at the bar asked me what my registration number was!!!! Suffice to say that I will never again be going there and I will be advising all my friends in the area to avoid it too. I am utterly disgusted that visiting a pub means a fine for parking. What an appalling way to treat customers!!

I had to leave a review because the service from Jamie, Harry and Katie was exemplary. I had to pay my compliments to the chef Jamie as the food he cooked was absolutely perfect. The chicken was soft and tender, the new take on the nachos was exciting and the chicken strips were coated perfectly. Harry the barman was very friendly and helped me decide on my order where I was unsure on what to have. He was very chill and we had a nice chat whilst he poured my drinks. Katie, who I believed to be the manager, came after my meal was served and checked all was ok and gave me a great recommendation on what to have for next time and you could see clearly loved working here. To see all the staff happy like that really made my afternoon as it was clear they loved what they do and they were getting joy from making me and my mother’s experience a great one. Perfect staff team, brilliant people, lovely location! (I had Super Special Epic Chicken New Yorker, Halloumi Fries and mum had the Ultimate Big Combo Sharer! She says it was definitely 5 Star and is known to be fussy. Don’t tell her I said that. 😉)

The food is not only delicious but also served in generous portions, which is always a plus. They offer a fantastic selection of lagers, too. What really stood out to me was how attentive the staff is; they genuinely care about making sure you have everything you need for a satisfying experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, creating a cozy, home-like feeling, and the decor is simply beautiful. It’s a lovely place to spend time and feel at ease. Please note that the quantity in the picture is smaller than what we actually received. It was just too delicious to wait!

"I would like to express my deep dissatisfaction with my visit to the Royal Anchor pub. There are no clear or visible signs indicating where to enter your car registration number, which resulted in a £100 fine, despite spending approximately £90 on a few beers. None of the staff were able to provide any assistance or information regarding this issue. The signage is poorly positioned and hard to spot, especially at night, making it almost impossible to notice. Moreover, the bathrooms were filthy, and the glasses used to serve the beer were extremely dirty, which negatively impacted the taste of the drinks. I strongly believe that the pub owner should cover the cost of this fine, as it stems from their inadequate signage. A thoroughly disappointing experience. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone."
