The Anchor in Huntingdonshire

Lovely place to go. Dog friendly (dog biscuits and water bowls) Great selection of beers Lovely Sunday Roast. Overall a great experience. Would recommend to friends

food was brought out to us withing 10 minutes of ordering an sitting down..... not even warm so they can't even use a microwave....wouldn't recommend to my worse enemy

Brilliant meal at this great pub. Very reasonable for our two main meals and two pints-£39. Very polite staff and great atmosphere. Would definitely visit again. Some very good outdoor space too?

Went to the Anchor on a Tuesday night, a warm welcome, there was a couple of tables in the restaurant already which made a nice atmosphere. Service was efficient and the food was excellent, 5 stars from everyone at the table. We will be back.

Terrible service. We waited for ages and didn't even get an acknowledgement from any member of staff. I know it's hard when you're busy but at least acknowledge the presence of waiting customers and apologise for keeping them waiting. Don't just ignore them!

The staff is wonderful...So nice and accommodating. The fish & chips are the best! Can't wait to be back very soon!.....

Another amazing evening at the anchor for a family pancake night!! They did not disappoint, very tasty and very well presented. Will definitely be coming back next year for more pancakes & saved me the washing up :)

Nice little pub the staff are very friendly and the beer is good can't go wrong really. They have various activities such as live bands and quiz nights so it's great local pub too.

Fantastic lunch at this great village pub. Good food, good service and a lovely setting. Dog and child friendly

Visited today for Sunday lunch. First visit was December 2022 for family Sunday lunch. We returned today after great experience last December. Today, quite expecting price increases due to cost of living crisis. However, quality and quantity had fallen. Food still very tasty but was let down by long wait for condiments. Food getting cold whilst waiting. Puddings (Eaton mess) tasty but nothing special for £7.00p. Lovely pub for drinking but not sure we will return for food sadly.

Tracey was absolutely amazing and so accommodating. Food was fantastic and all staff were outstanding couldn’t recommend more if I tried . Thank you school holidays are hard work but thanks to you we had the best most relaxing and enjoyable lunch possible

The Anchor Pub in Little Paxton is always such a pleasure to visit. The staff are always so accommodating and helpful and always bend over backwards to with their restaurant menu to provide us with what we like from the menu. Every time we go there we come away really satisfied with both the food and service.

What can I say lovely food lovely staff lovely atmosphere. I need to work my way through the new menu but unlike other pubs they have not overpriced the food. I am aware of the increase in the cost of food but they remain reasonably priced with the quality too. If you are walking to the nature reserve just down the road drop in for a drink and something to eat. I have been coming here for years and it just gets better and better. If I was being critical the lunch menu could retain the jacket potatoes as when I nip in at lunch from work it is my go to food and their jacket potatoes were soooo good.

Amazing dinner tonight at The Anchor as always. The staff behind the bar and the chefs went above and beyond to make my husbands birthday dinner special.

Just turned up for Sunday lunch , without booking .Staff was lovely. Thank you are very accommodating I kept moving tables cause I couldn’t decide where I would like to sit but there was never a problem. Ordered roast lamb it was lovely. You could order extra vegetables shame you couldn’t order extra roast potatoes at cost because there was only three small roast potatoes and I’m a little bit greedy I love my roast potatoes. I then ordered, chocolate brownie cheesecake with ice cream it was delicious. I do you think if you had apple pie or a sponge roll with custard some more men would might eat puddings ? But everything was superb and I definitely will be back

Despite being busy with an 18th birthday party the welcoming staff accommodated us and for to us much earlier than they expected to take our food orders. The meals were delicious. My husband had the steak panini which melted in the mouth, our son had the burger which he said was a little greasy but delicious and I had the fish and chips which was amazing; crispy batter, tasty fish and it was a huge portion with 3 fillets. The desserts were fantastic too. We enjoyed it so much we went back again later for tea and coffee.

My family and I visited The Anchor for the first time in May bank holiday, and we absolutely loved it. Such a fabulous family pub, so much entertainment for the kids, my little boy had the best time. Singer and kid’s disco was amazing we look forward to visiting again very soon

We were here for a family lunch. Could not recommend. The family all became ill after eating at this establishment. I’ve wrote this review to give a true reflection however tripadvisor keep taking it down, without any notice.

We booked this pub as a last minute plan for Mothers Day lunch and we were so impressed with the service provided by Rachel - we both pre ordered Roast beef roast dinners and I can honestly say this is the best Roast we have ever had at a pub/restaurant. The portions were generous, the food was hot and everything tasted fresh. We will definitely be returning if we find ourselves at this end of the country again!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was great and very reasonably priced. I will return again when I am that way. Definitely worth another visit

Family meal table of 9. Really lovely roast dinners and one fish and chips. Best roast in a pub for a long time. Only criticism is food could be more hot. Understand difficult when bringing a large number of meals out at once. Did not mention it because felt quality and taste made up for it. Will return.

The wife and I enjoyed another delicious Roast dinner here on Sunday. The plate comes with everything you want and the new menu is very affordable. Highly recommended.

Wanted to pop to this pub in the village of little Paxton as have a lot of family history in the village and am researching my family tree Just had drinks but lovely friendly staff and quick service. Was nice to see my my ancestors had drank back in the 1880s .

Amazing Food, Friendly Environment, and Helpful Staff! What more could you ask for! Staff were particularly understanding as we visited as a group of 11, and not one mistake the whole meal! Brilliant service, and very reasonable prices definitely makes it worth a visit!

Lunch at The Anchor, simply glorious. Good choice of menu. Friendly cheerful and speedy service given the food is cooked to order. You must try the Chicken Tandoori along with the chunky chips but only if you are hungry ! ! ! Only slight negative...

This is a lovely village pub. It is an old building with a modern feel to it. The staff are friendly and professional. The food is good. I will come again.

We were a party of 8 . One child with a sereve nut allergy. The waitress was very good and found out if any of the food contained peanuts .

So we came to The Anchor for a family meal, thinking we would give it another try since the new owners had taken it over. According to Trip Advisor it has improved; our experience was quite the reverse. Despite the polite waiter who served us, everything was poor. Slow service, greasy food and miserable atmosphere is how I’d sum it up. The pub was a sea of middle-aged couples, not speaking in a deadly silent eating area. We were seated and presented with a very limited menu (cheap-looking laminated tat)and nothing to choose from on the chalkboard. When our starters arrived, one of our party who is intolerant to cheese had to ask for the bread to be swapped as it was covered in cheese (not specified on the menu) and this simple swap took well over 10 minutes! Meanwhile, everyone else’s starters were going cold. We then had to sit a very long time for the mains to arrive and eventually had to ask what had happened to our meals since the 2 children in our party were so hungry. When it did finally turn up (without any apology for the delay) the sea bass was overly greasy, the kid’s fish portion was mostly batter and the mash was too salty. Definitely not worth the money. Needless to say we won’t be returning. What a waste of £100. Save yourself the money and effort.

Lovely pleasant little pub. Really good food and very friendly staff. We visited for a late lunch on a week day after a walk around the nature reserve just down the road. Couldn't really go wrong. I would definitely come here again.

For many years the Anchor had a bad reputation, but the current owners have turned this around by spending money to improve the venue, employed good staff, provide excellent service and food.

Limited lunchtime menu, mostly burgers. We had homemade Tomato soup (tasty, with herbs), Brie, roasted pepper & rocket sandwich (good) and Caesar salad with tiger prawns and Cajun fries (substantial and delicious). We had no room for desserts. £41 including a tonic and a shandy was reasonable. Service was prompt and friendly.

We visit the anchor on a regular basis as it is our local pub, the roast is delicious and great value for money! Homemade Yorkshire puddings and cauliflower cheese was delicious, the veg is always perfectly cooked as well. Well done the anchor!!

Me and my friend popped in for a bite to eat and a cheeky pint after a lovely couple of walks in the area (Paxton Pits & pightle) to see the area as we visted my friends grandparents. The service was quick staff was lovely and friendly with a bit of good banter. I went for the French burger and my friend got the Smokey burger. Both were very delious and very big portions so well worth the money, best burger we have had!

Since new owners we have started coming here weekly

Went to the Anchor just to see what it was like as we hadn't been there for a long time different tenants welcomed with a smile great service and very good food large portions and all the food came out at the same time( inprest) well cooked piping hot will be going back

Nice little pub local to us, found by accident walking the wrong way back from somewhere. Popped in a few weeks afterwards and it was a nice welcoming pub, busy but that's the sign of a good pub!

Excellent food. Excellent service. Lovely welcoming atmosphere. Food very responsibly priced Would highly recommend.

Decided to drop in for a lunch. Food was nice, haddock and chips, burger and fries. Both very large portions and good value for money. Pub was pretty quiet but the service was good and the drinks cold so we enjoyed our visit.

Good pub grub with good quality ingredients. I had a prawn sandwich, the bread was crusty and cut thick, really great bread. The portion sizes were huge, the fish and chips especially was enormous.

I absolutely had to leave a review for this pub due to the exceptional food. I wanted to stop on the way home from work for a bite and The Anchor was on my route home. The pub has a nice traditional decor with modern touches and a lovely outside area. When I looked at the menu I wasn't expecting much but omg they have a good chef. No, they haven't paid me to write this, I live miles away and have never stopped in that area before. The prawn starter was perfectly cooked and drizzled in garlic butter, served with delicious warm bread. And the fish fillet main with asparagus again was perfectly cooked and presented. I am hoping to get work up that way again because I want more of your food!

Whilst seated outside me and my sister experienced racist comments from another customer whilst the gentlemen in our party had gone in to order drinks. We are actually Indian in ethnicity which I guess the individual wasn’t educated on. No one from so many people willing to speak up against the racist comments. In a generally modern society this was disappointing to experience. We skipped lunch as planned and left after the drinks we had already ordered.

We had lunch here on a lovely sunny day and did hope the garden would be a little more secluded - a little underwhelming as a location. The beer was good. Unlike most people we didn't have burgers - they looked huge! Food arrived in reasonable time - glad we weren't in a rush. The nature reserve down the road is lovely so we went there after a meal. Prices were OK

Visited for a few drinks and food with Friends. Friendly warm atmosphere on a Saturday evening.

Called here for lunch after a family day out , shown to table ordered food 40 mins later No Food ! Went to find out how much longer it was going to be told 3-4 mins , 15 mins later still not arrived , my son went & asked where it was , they had obviously forgot about us , not very good , will not be back .

We live in the village and used to sometimes come in for food, but we were almost always the only ones eating and the atmosphere was greatly lacking. Over the last year or so, since the management changed, we have been in more often. The food and the atmosphere have greatly improved.

I echo the previous reviews.This was a place to avoid! the good news is its transformed into a god old fashioned pub,great food enough for a giant,and the veggies are well cooked.WAitresses efficient and pleasant

Second time we have eaten here. Previously not a very welcoming pub but this has all changed with the new owners.

The bar person was open & friendly also helpful, knowledgeable. The service was quick and the food delicious an ice plate of ham,egg& chips. Thank goodness we were given directions to the meadow and riverside walks , less than half a mile away.

Like a Phoenix from the ashes...this previously tired and drabbly run pub is now a lively social hub and a pleasure to go to. The staff are efficient and courteous and the menu...albeit small is delicious and filling.

First in on Thursday lunchtime. The change in the pub since our last visit was amazing.

My wife and I came to the pub to meet friends, catch up, have a drink and eat. The pub was bustling, a mixture of ages drinking, talking and eating in the restaurant. Service was quick at the bar with drinks at an average price. The restaurant had a table and the menu was interesting and again reasonably priced. Burgers were identified with Rugby 7 nations and the majority had them and one with fish and chips. Food was well cooked, well presented and large portions.A really great evening, good beer, good food, good service and even better company. Well done The Anchor.

We came here on a Saturday afternoon having played hockey against St Neots. It was pretty busy but we got served quickly. A great selection of beers and other drinks. The food was pretty good too.

We've eaten in the pub many times, but this time it was to celebrate our Son's 25th birthday; his choice and a good one it was too.

Super Sunday lunch the roast beef melted in you mouth the vegetables were properly cooked and the cauliflower cheese was a delight. The Anchor Stack for desert was wonderful. We will defiantly be going back.

A bit pricey for a local pub and the food has gone a bit downhill since been under new management. Beautiful interior and very comfortable seating. The staff however are very friendly and polite.

Great menu. An enjoyable lunch although a bit of a wait. Waitress was superb. Garden looked great gor the summer.

First time of going here Excellent Serviice from the waitress, Was made to feel welcome Nice warm pub ordered our meals we all had steaks with drinks The steaks was perfectly cooked with mushrooms Salad onion rings chips and tomatoes.After we had desserts of Meringue Stacks which was delicious Enjoyed every thing staff food excellent We will be returning againThank You.

We stopped in for Sunday Lunch with our parents and children. Everyone from all ages really enjoyed there food. Ample on the plate and good quality. The service was friendly and quick. The beers were good, the value was good, all round excellent.

Hi girls and boy's. It's Alex hear and am writing another review I found, tucked away in a small village. You all know what's it like when it comes to doing the cooking on a Sunday and you just Don't have the engery. Plus doing the washing up or clearing. Well here is a BRILLIANT pub to visit if your ever in the area. GOOD FOOD/EXCELLENT SERVICE AND GOOD BEER!! NOT FOR GETTING THE DESERTS, and a cool atmosphere to have a conversation. Everything you need for a good Sunday lunch with Yorkshire pubbing as big as a sorspan, plus a trio of three different meats on your plate. Course not forgetting the vegetables plus cauliflower cheese "yum". Well that's it for now. Please do go to see how great the food is and everything else. Am sure you'll not be disappointed!! A up from me. Thank YOU!!
