Royal anchor liphook in East Hampshire

Nice food , Good service, friendly staff .

Great friendly service and lovely food.

Came in today and was served by Brad , Felicity , Jamie was in the kitchen and I would highly recommend the southern fried chicken wrap. Will be back again soon

Very nice friendly pub, Shona served us and was really great. Helpful and welcoming and also made sure that we were enjoying our meal Edited to the full 5 stars. I think that relative to the price of the food, this is a very good place! Service was 5 star anyway..

Came here with my partner and got the Chilli Burger and Korean BBQ burger. Service was brilliant very friendly staff and food was good value for money. Karen made us feel very welcome. Don’t go to the pub often but 100% coming back here

Just had a meal with a friend and it was really nice

Kid friendly, cheap and friendly staff!

Came for Mother’s Day lunch and Dave was lovely and made my my mum and I feel welcome, the Sunday roast with the trio upgrade and it was lovely and hot and the service was great from all the staff

Beware to ensure you registered your vehicle if parking. Went there in the afternoon and the vehicle didn't get registered at the bar, two weeks later a fine arrived for £100 from Brittania Parking. After providing them with evidence of purchase made at the establishment they have agreed just this once to cancel the fine. They have informed me however that it is down to the customer to ensure that their vehicle has been registered on the system.

Had a lovely at experience at the royal anchor Dave’s service was perfect and made me feel so welcome

Lovely food, quick service and very friendly ☺️x

Great value food and lovely stuff

Lovely food, extremely friendly staff. Martin, Shona and Jamie were all lovely

The staff were brilliant at accommodating a very large family meal, the food arrived in great timing and was very tasty! Thank you very much :)

Karen was an absolute superstar from the get go. She swapped our table as we had 2/7 of our party with mobility issues and were initially sat on a high table. She went above and beyond to sort it out and was incredibly sweet when passing our table, laughing and joking with our party. She was upbeat and constantly had a smile. Fantastic lady and very hard working . :) food was fantastic. Despite it being Mother’s Day it was out in sub 45 minutes, well prepared and very tasty

I haven’t been to the anchor in years! I brought my daughter and her friend for some lunch and they loved it. The staff were incredible from the front of house to the chef! Well worth a visit.

Gluten free burger was exceptional. Normally the buns in other places aren’t worth eating but this was really good. All of it was lovely. Great place. Would highly recommend

Expect a general pub atmosphere where you need to order at the bar. Remember to put your cars registration in if you use the car park. The food menu is large, so some items are done well, and some are not. Pub classics are probably a safer bet. Good value meals with many mix and match deals. Wouldn't go again, but it was worth the visit due to the prices.

Very good lunch, staff friendly, portions substantial, good quality and great value for money, would thoroughly recommend it.

Great pub fantastic service and food was lovely

Felicity was great. She was polite and smiley. Got our food out to us super quick. Had a lovely meal.

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.

Went for a quiet meal with partner and had a lovely experience. We only popped down into the area. Martin and Shona were really welcoming and offered brilliant service. Jay the chef produced delicious food. Would definitely return again.

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.

Really friendly staff and I love that Queen Victoria stayed here. Great spot.

Service and food was good. Thanks to Mow who served us. Very attentive. Had the Classic chicken New York. 2 chicken breaststroke with bacon and fries. Was far too much for me so I shared it with my son. Sticky toffee pudding was delicious. Thank you

Friendly, quick and great service

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.

Brilliant service from Karen & Brad and excellent food from Karl the chef. Coming back again very soon.

Disgraceful Food Disgusting and service utterly shameful Restroom ladies didn’t have licks on the doors . My whole experience made me come home and want a bath !

Good food friendly staff plenty of parking.

Shona was very helpful polite professional with great service Jamie and Brad in the kitchen were fast and efficient good food good service 5star will come again thankyou

Popped in when visiting with friends for dinner. Service was excellent and staff were very friendly and accommodating ! Food was good and fast service

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.

Karen Curtis was our server and she's amazing.if we needed anything she was there no matter how big of the question. She was very helpful and overall a lovely person. The staff in general are very nice but Karen stood out to us

We took our granddaughters they are 2 & 4 to the Anchor for some lunch, we are were greeted by Shona, she was fabulous, put the girls at their ease gave them some toys & colouring in sheets the food came quickly and they loved it. Great value and the staff were excellent. Thank you Shona Mark & Lina

Lovely meal and experience. David was very attentive and made sure that our party had a wonderful experience, will definitely be back

Harry behind the bar was class, and the food was good

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 .

Yummy food and lovely customer service, just a shame they didn’t have a few food items on the menu!

If you like your ales dont go there they dont have any most of the time and they dont know how to look after them

David was a great host. Friendly, professional and efficient. Superb Full English.

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!!

Felicity was fantastic. Great service, food did the job, the pint was on point :)

Had an excellent and good value dinner there last night. Really well looked after by Jamie, Katie, Martin and Harry. Always good food at very reasonable prices.

We both had to nice turkey roast and Shona Martin & Jamie we’re very good also reminding my husband to register our car we also visited your pub for a meal on Wednesday 15th Jan and also had 2 lovely meals but my husband couldn’t remember if he was reminded to register our car and can’t remember if he did

Very nice place, Shona and Jamie were fantastic. Definitely be back.

Nice afternoon lunch at this venue, the staff were very helpful (Shona, Brad & Jamie). Will be back again.

Great service from shona and Jamie in the kitchen

Really great service from Kyle, who suggested the fab salt and pepper chips and of course a thanks must go to Jamie the chef. Both our meals were faultless. Awesome work!

First visit back in a long time lovely staff and great food. We will be back again thanks!

Lovely food, all very fresh and hot.Staff were friendly. Nice cosy, family friendly atmosphere. There are some amazing deals on the menu and a great selection of dishes.I will definitely be returning. Thank you.

Good, I enjoyed my chicken wings done to my liking and also reasonable price. The staff are always polite.Their food presentation is top notch

Great service and good Sunday roast , thanks

Karen was very friendly and welcoming. Served immediately when we came in. Food came very quickly, very good service. Atmosphere was nice and we would return again if in the area.

Felicity served us and she was wonderful and bubbly and gave excellent service. Food was delicious as always live coming back regularly.

Awesome service from Brad, as I walked in ,beers was being poured. Brekkie was also very quick to come out the kitchen and bloody good. Happy days

Popped in for a bite to eat late morning. Quiet, so was served promptly. Food came quick. A decent all day brekkie for a reasonable price. Would recommend. Nice pub. Decent size. Would like to visit when a bit more busier. Sure it has a great atmosphere!

Really good and quick service. Huge portions. Great food.

Waitress was so lovely and helpful!

Came back after a while. Food has improved fastly!!! Great job!!

Breakfast last week. Excellent food and great value. Been eating here 20 years never had a bad meal staff are great.

Fantastic staff and very helpful

Quick and friendly service. Food was good value for money.

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. 😉)

Very friendly pub. We will definitely be coming back again. We were well looked after by the very helpful Karen. Chef Jamie's salmon was excellent.

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!

Very friendly staff and good food

Warm friendly welcome from the staff. We had a lovely meal and food was great! Thankyou 🙂

Super helpful and friendly staff, good food with decent sized portions and lots of choice!

Good food, good price. Host was helpful. Not had a bad meal here!

Brilliant food and brilliant service by shona

Great experience, great food, great service from Shona

Had a lovely family gathering for 10, a birthday and a surprise wedding, staff really put themselves out for us, very friendly and efficient. Made it a happier occasion.

Shona was great lovely beers and company

Service was excellent, the lady tonight (boxing day) was running around like a headless chicken serving both food and drinks by herself with a busy pub. 5 stars to the amazing Lady who superwomaned this pub tonight.... I'll give 1 star to the her employer, who clearly seeks profit over family/festive values

Every time we come to the Royal Anchor, staff are attentive, food is perfect for the price you pay. Karen in particular is great, she went above and beyond to make you feel welcome

Lovely, friendly staff (Karen and Katy). Food came out quickly and was tasty. Great family pub

"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."

We had a lovely family Christmas dinner. The atmosphere was lovely and the staff were great. Thanks anchor xxx

Great food and good service from Felicity and Shona

Great pub and good cheap food excellent service from shona and harry and martini ! Will be back

Good for playing darts and pool but very quiet most of the time so I wouldn’t say a drinking pub

The staff was amazing, I had an amazing experience when I came in, felicity and Shona were absolutely amazing thank you girls x

My wife and I had a meal here about a week or so ago, meant to leave a review sooner than this 😅 It has recently changed hands and for the better, the food was on point and they catered well to my wife's intolerance to nuts. The service was great, kind and helpful staff and a lovely chat with the new owners mother which gave it a personal touch. 5/5 would definitely eat there again.

Food was great, was delivered quicker than expected. Karen was great, delivered excellent service

Come in for a breakfast. Service was quick, staff friendly and food was perfect for what we wanted. Would come back again

Staff were lovely as always - especially Karen & Brad. A great place to bring the family!

Great food, friendly staff and value

Excellent service from Karen today, she was great with the kids and the food was cooked well!

Fantastic pie! Nice pint. Friendly staff.

Very good service , such sweet workers and absolutely amazing food

The service of Shona and Karen was superb. We were a large table so I understand a small delay in the food however it was quite a wait. The gentlemen who served us was quite rude and many of our table were disgruntled with the attitude he had. Overall the food was slow but the waitresses made up for the other poor areas.

Despite the shocking service from Martin. Shona & Karen were very quick to resolve the problems & went above and beyond to make sure that our food was corrected & service was impeccable.

Good food excellent staff and service

Had a great steak mix it up was cooked perfect compliments to chef Kyle and trainee chef great service from Shona and Harry

Karen Curtis, you are wonderful! Thank you for your service, you are electric, you are the moment, you are everything I needed and more!

Friendly staff Shona , food lovely cooked by chef Jamie
