The Anchor in North Lincolnshire

I was staying in the Premier Inn and bought the meal deal at The Anchor. Having dined here on several occasions the service is always amazing both at dinner and breakfast. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. Stu, Josh, Sky and the rest of the team are amazing and make your dining experience great. The food is always lovely.

Had a lovely breakfast this morning. Linda was very helpful especially as I had 2 babies with me. I was disappointed about there being no buffet though. I do prefer to help myself rather then having to order the cooked food.

The food is fine but the service is lousy. Slow, inattentive, and deceptive. We had to ask for the fixed menu and was then charged for drinks we didn't take. Nobody seemed to care, I guess that's what happens when your pay is poor and your restaurant is in Scunthorpe.

A really nice place to eat. Tables well spaced out and staff all lovely and friendly. Good smooth check in process for breakfast and even though we were later than planned our breakfast slot was amended so we did not have to hurry. T%he food was all very well presented and well cooked. Everything was clean and plenty of choice too.

Lovely breakfast as usual and staff are amazing. Linda always sorts us out with anything we need. Lovely experience and the kids enjoy choosing what they would like. Our local favourite

I had Pie and Mash. It was really tasty. Worth a visit.

Good food, excellent staff. Enjoyed the meal. Great. Still good value.

The burgers are best in Sunthorpe

Family of four, dining for breakfast. Polite, efficient staff who seated us quickly & explained where everything was. Everything that one requires for a breakfast & refills constantly coming out. At £10.99 a person it is at the upper end of our price bracket, but it set us up for a busy day ahead.

Came in for a birthday meal and it was so cold in the restaurant food was ok but nothing special.

Very neat and tidy. Staff very friendly, good service. Nice pool table.

You get a lovely smile of the staff and your meal is always hot

Had a fantastic meal, cheeky cocktails and great service. Could not fault the food or staff 06.08.2024 5:30pm. Definitely recommend a visit here.

Great breakfast as always linda is the reason we keep coming back fantastic service

Owen was very accommodating and the service was very prompt. Everything was up to the good standard that you would expect from a beefeater restaurant. Thank you for doing an important job.

Monday steaks . Had the steak sampler . 4 x 4ozsteaks with chunky chips . Was spot on . Not been in for a long time but definitely be back again sooner

Waitress was very rude No apology for getting order incorrect.....Twice!

Visited for breakfast - really nice food, fresh and tasty. On the negative - when we arrived we didn’t have very nice welcome, felt like we were an inconvenience by one member of staff. The place was extremely quiet but still seemed very stressed. Had such great service from the Grimsby site so was just disappointing with the service.

Had to look for staff to get served and then go to the toilet to find both cubicles with locks broken. Door kept opening so had to hold it shut at the same time as evacuating my bowls

Very good vegetarian food and friendly staff.

Called in for a breakfast with my work colleagues. Top notch all around, polite and happy staff, clean, welcoming, and only £10.99 all you can eat. Absolutely brilliant. We will definitely return when we are working in the area again. Thanks

Tye table was booked for a fathers dsy meal. Got there nice and early. Showed to the table. The waitress came over, and the meal I wanted was not available. So, I had an alternative of 10 oz ribeye (rare) with added garlic king prawns. When asking the waitress about meals, she did not have a clue. She came out with excuse I only been here a week. Did not go and get advice, or ask another team member. She did quite a lot of thinking. I think it comes with sauce. I think it comes with veg, I think it comes with salad. Meals were ordered, so we're drinks. Partner asked for a coke. I asked for a cider. 2 cokes eventually arrived. Then, a cider eventually arrived. The meals arrived. My steak with the added kings prawns, the king prawns amounted to 2, which were hardly king size, the added garlic king prawns was £4.99. I was expecting more than 2. Which worked out at a fraction under £2.50 each. Both weren't succulent but tasted more like rubber, so overcooked. The steak was done nicely. It came with a soggy flat mushroom half a tomato, some rocket, and 8 triple cooked chips. Hardly generous potions. My partner had the surf and turf, again 2 overcooked rubbery prawns. Not a great experience considering it was supposed to be a special occasion.

Everything on our plates was inedible down to the peas which tasted stale, I had the smothered chicken and it wasn't just smothered it was annihilated dreadful and expensive.

Good value for money and tasty menu

First time visiting and it was really good. We were stopping next door in the premier inn for the night and purchased the meal deal with the room. 2 course meal and a drink and all you can eat breakfast the next morning for £27.99 great value and the dinner and breakfast were both equally as good. Our young children loved the kids' meals they had an ate every bit. Friendly staff throughout and fast service.

Haven't been for years so with a 40% off food thought I'd give it a try again. Don't think I'd bother coming back. Ordered to be told the extractor fans had suddenly stopped so there may not be any food. We asked to be updated in the next 5 minutes but took the waiter nearly 20 to finally come back to us to say they would be cooking our food and it was 70 degrees in the kitchen. Other customers were told to leave. Food came and waitress nearly dropped the steak knife on my foot (I had sandles on too) the meal was very small a steak one small mushroom and less than a hand full of loaded chips for £22. Luckily we were not over hungry or we would have been more disappointed. Food medioka in the end but the disruption of the fans going off and kept waiting ill not be back soon.

Shabby, overpriced, chef has no pride in there dishes, plates dirty

Great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. And great service too.

Took my mum for breakfast. £10.99 each and this is all that was available. 5 mushrooms and 3 slices of bacon. Staff sent my mum away saying we had no table even though I was already waiting for them. Luckily she called me and I caught her before she went home. Made a point of thoroughly checking a £50 many times in the light. Very embarrassing when I’d invited my mum out and my uncle who traveled from Canada to see us. Literally went home hungry. Shocking

Massive shout out to Zoe, Karl and Phoebe regards the outstanding customer service they gave our party of 13 last night. It was the grandparents joint 80th birthday and having phoned ahead to ask if they could do anything special Karl said he'd sort it. Upon arrival Zoe then backed up Karl's word having ordered special 80th bunting and decorations from Amazon for our table. Free bottle of Prosecco and 2 x small gift bags with chocolates in shortly followed which started the evening perfectly. The drinks then flowed and the food shortly followed after.....the 10oz Ribeye was reported to be from it's receipient the best steak ever!!! Phoebe was also attentive throughout the night and was always there as / when we needed her. All in all wonderful memories made due to a caring, attentive and thoughtful restaurant team that simply went the extra mile from the moment we arrived......thank you so much from us all !!!

In need of refurbishment with stains on the stools and wobbly arms on chairs. Over priced drinks and average food. There are lots of better establishments in Scunthorpe and the surrounding area.

Had the 10 oz steak and my friend had the Salmon. Both meals excellently cooked. Many thanks.

Good dinner and breakfast. But I hate being asked if I booked (no) and then a lot of frowning at a computer when the place is half empty.

The food is expensive for what it is, but that's just my opinion. Calamari starter is very nice and the '74 burger very tasty. Very good, attentive service. Nice surroundings and decor.

The service was quite underwhelming. The management's behavior was especially cringeworthy, as they harshly insulated me during a pleasant afternoon out with my significant other. Their actions were uncalled-for and totally unacceptable. It's apparent that they lack the necessary expertise and manners to conduct themselves with basic respect. I highly recommend steering clear of this establishment. Micheal should not be a manager he lacks the knowledge or the basic respect for guests at this establishment. Avoid.

We take the grandkids here for breakfast for their birthdays. We love that the kids eat free and they can have what they want. The staff are brilliant and so friendly, we always feel welcome. It does help that the grandkids are well behaved.

Took my mum to dinner last week. She had fillet steak and I had curry and we shared the apple pie for dessert. This is a very decent place to eat. Lots of room so you don't feel on top of each other. Service was great and food came in good time. Mum said the steak was nice and the curry was great too. Apple pie could have been a little warmer but overall a very nice dinner.

We come here every week,the service we get from Louise and Allison is amazing,however the last two weeks I've found a hair in my meal and as you can see into the kitchen we know the chefs don't wear hats. This is not acceptable and needs reviewing by management.Hopefully someone will take notice of this and try to improve the kitchen standards.

Family outing for my sisters birthday . All staff were very friendly, especially Alison who was extra nice to my sister . Food was good and reasonably priced with the discount applied .

Pleasant midday meal with family

Regular-ish visitors, my Dad loves the lasagne. There was some maintenance work being done so everyone was down the bottom end but no problem with that. Not massively busy (Monday lunchtime) but enough to have the server running around as he was on his own. Despite that he made sure we had everything we needed and we weren’t waiting long for anything. At the end he asked if we had a voucher, which we did but had forgotten about (last time we were in we didn’t get asked). He used it on the bill and then gave us another one. We have seen him before, I wish I’d taken note of his name. Anyhoo nice relaxed lunch with great service.

Chips hard in the middle. Also £3.50 for a bowl of chips however the bowl is only a little bigger than a vinegar portion. Awful. Will not be coming again. Also 2 pints cost £11.80 day light robbery!

First visit. Great menu, lovely staff. Quiet busy but didn't wait long for food. Would recommend

Very good Beefeater. Quality of the food is as you'd expect, and the cocktail offer is a great addition too.

Get yourself here for breakfast..Best tenner spent..although the orange juice is now cordial instead of fresh orange..yuck.!!

Fantastic place, I'm a frequent visitor here mainly due to the excellent service from all the staff, they are all welcoming, friendly, professional and go above and beyond to make your experience a special one. The choice of drinks is adequate and all meals I have consumed have been well prepared, presented and tasted lovely.

Food was delicious my girls love the variety of food, the staff was great Alison and Karl mainly couldn't do enough for us they just made our Sunday morning breakfast treat a pleasant one 😀 we will 100% be returning again very soon! thank you again Alison and Karl 😁

Great service from josh and Jack at the bar this evening, the manager Karl even came over to our table and poured my wine. Will definitely be back,

Great service from josh and Jack tonight

The food was very tasty and came out all together and nice and hot. Best thing was our waitress Alison. She was so friendly,an absolute star and a real credit to the restaurant.

My granddaughter is coeliac she came for a meal with grandmother and godson on Monday 11th of March she stated that she was coeliac and was assured the her food was gluten free. It was not she had a severe reaction to gluten and is lot of pain with ulcers in her mouth and a severe swollen tummy. this is so unfair she struggles to find places to eat as it is.

Excellent service from Allison. Even though it was busy nothing was too much trouble. Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. It exceeded our expectations. Will definitely return

Really disappointed this time around the young lady who served us was snappy and didn't have much patience with us. The food was ok but the new menu has not much choice. I chose the steak n found it strange that there is no choice of steak sauces apart from peppercorn when I asked the young lady if there was a possibility for any alternative she rolled her eyes and replied well no it's not on the menu so no. Shame because I used to enjoy coming here.

Great food and fantastic help and service from Allison - very helpful and attentive even during busy times

Excellent meal and service from Allison always goes above and beyond, will be back

Been coming here for the past few days as I'm in the hotel next door. The food is nice. And the servers are great. I've had Allison serve me for the past couple of days and she is great. Always polite, funny, and service with a smile 😊

Really pleasant evening with the family. Great food, evidently cooked with care and excellent service. Warned us of a possible delay to service, but was then served promptly. We'll be back!

Early evening, quiet dinner with my dad. Relaxed atmosphere and superb, very attentive service from all, especially Allison. Good choice of alcohol free beers, Punk IPA, a step up from the usual Becks Blue or similar. Only complaint was the crust on dad's pie was a bit too well done and hard. Would recommend

Food was amazing good prices and fabulous service from our waiter MICHEAL big shout out to him your a star x

Big thankyou to Carl and all the staff there that took care of my father’s wake. They are the kindest people and nothing was too much bother. The buffet food was lovely and the atmosphere was just so lovely and relaxed. Thankyou so much

We popped in for a late lunch with our 18-month old, who was being a little grumpy. Staff went above and beyond to accommodate us and make us feel welcome. Specifically, Allison, who took a few minutes out to bring some colouring sheets and crayons, then later some bubbles, which worked incredibly to lighten our toddler's mood and helped us enjoy our meal. I'm sure it also helped a few tables around us.... Smart move Allison and an astute way to invest a few minutes of your time! Thank you! Meal was acceptable pub grub with nothing wrong, but nothing to amaze. We'll be back and we'll recommend to friends.

Went in for a coffee but machine wasn't working

Never been to any beefeater before and definitely will not be going again. I was with a party of 3 and we all left our food and so did the party on the opposite table. The staff were very accommodating but the food was absolutely terrible unless you like rubber warmed up chicken and yesterday’s chips triple cooked, or fish with the skin still on and full of bones. From the outside I actually thought the premises had been closed for 6 months as it looked very shabby and run down.

I visited for the "all you can eat breakfast" Lots of choice and food was ok, but as with all buffet style food, it could have been hotter.... Couldn't get a normal black coffee from the machine (not available on the menu) which was a pain, but there were other alternatives and lots of juices. There's lots of parking and as it's on a retail park area, lots of other shops to visit too If only the food was hotter....such a shame!!!!

Excellent food on Christmas day, staff were so friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough to make the day a special one for everyone. Highly recommend you visit this place for just a drink or a meal and a drink, you won't be disappointed

Great place enjoyed our Christmas food 😋

Lovely food, great service and a really good value for money. Thoroughly enjoyed our recent visit here on New Year's Day. Bluelight card also accepted. Would highly recommend

Everything fine but venue quite cold.

Alison was as always incredibly accepting and supportive of me having dinner out with my friends, I have Tourette’s syndrome and this place is very safe. Thank you.

Food was exception! We were served by Alison who was extremely friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Will definitely be coming back

Came for lunch with a group of friends Service was amazing from Alison, really understanding over one of our groups tics due to Tourettes Due to the needs of the group we needed a quiet area to sit which was no trouble

Great service, Alison was awesome.

Myself and my partner who has tourettes enjoy coming here as the staff are very patient and understanding and always make us feel welcome , especially Alison who always goes out of her way to make sure we are ok and feel comfortable

Plate were cold so your food yet cold mushroom were cold no black coffee

Far better than expected. Great food, exceptional service. Looking forward to coming back.

Amazing. Great service from our waitress Sophie. Had an fantastic date night. Food was wonderful. And even got a rewards card definitely returning 😁👍

We came for a Christmas dinner with my folks very recently. The carrots was hard and so was the sprouts. I asked it the stuffing contained onion and the waiter went to find out and came back and said no and then when I could taste the onion in the stuffing he said no I said that it doesn't have the ingriedients on the packet. Despite there been 5 witnesses, what if I was actually allergic and didn't have an intolerance? Not good. The turkey was gorgeous so was the roasties and roast parsnips. I got a starter of pigs in blankets - they were tiny and they only gave me 3 not a very generous portion. Not a bad meal overall but I'm sure wetherspoons could do a better job

Very nice staff and food is nice

Met up with friends for a festive Christmas lunch in Scunthorpe before going to Pantomime. The food was excellent! We had Turkey and the trimmings, Xmas pud and the Baileys cocktails. Alison Mason was our server and she was very friendly and efficient and made our visit very enjoyable. Thankyou

Food is very tasty and staff absolutely amazing, very helpful and friendly 😀

On the 3/12/23 my family , a party of 16 visited . The Waitress was excellent bless her a credit to the company ! The food was amazing and the service and brilliant . Thankyou so much for a brilliant afternoon .

Lovely place, staff attentive and food is lovely, would recommend 👌 x

My first visit to the anchor and we had the Xmas lunch which was very good, the staff were all friendly and Allison was very friendly and looked after us all will definitely return soon.

Good food, but the ribs were a little cold. Steak was salty, loved the chips. No boiled potato or mash option, Only chips, seasoned fries or salad.

Can't believe this Beefeater isn't more highly rated .. everything from Bar staff .. Waitress .. speed of service and quality of food it's 10/10 for me ..

Excellent quality food, drink and service

Great food from start to finish, nice pint, and great service

Best steak I have had in ages, lovely facility great staff, reasonably priced

Plenty of parking friendly staff

Went for the Sunday Dinner, service was excellent by Allison and the food was cooked to perfection 😊

Booked for a table of 4 but had to change last minute to a table of 6. Mike was very helpful and accommodating with this last minute change. Gluten free toast was requested and Mike quickly sorted that for us aswell. Thankyou

Stayed here for four nights for work. The food was nice, but best of all was the hospitality and friendly welcome I received from Alison during Breakfast and Dinner! Not forgetting Carol and Linda😊 I’d certainly stay again, thanks. Murray (Joju Solar ltd)

Good place for breakfast with friendly staff

Nice place good food just bit pricey

Well done to The Anchor for spoiling what was meant to be a lovely night with friends. I made the mistake of asking for a side dish of King prawns to go with my steak. This was obviously a request too far and caused the kitchen to have a melt down and give my king prawns to someone else. So after waiting 10 minutes for more king prawns to be cooked and my steak getting colder and colder I sent my steak back to be put under a heater, tick tock everyone had finished their mains before the said steak returned, so sent back and told them to cancel it. Won't be returning. So ended up at morrisons with some ritz crackers, quiche, ham and walkers sensations crisps.

Alison and Mike were so welcoming and friendly and made special arrangements to celebrate my friends engagement. Highly recommend

2nd time eating here and both times the meals have been delicious. Great value and lovely staff too

Lovely service very welcoming. Poached eggs cooked to perfection by Carol the breakfast chef.

The meal and wine were both really good value and the service from Alison couldn't have been better, truly service with a smile.

Ordered gaming and triple cooked chips , the chips were frozen chips and cooked in old oil couldn’t eat it made me feel sick Mum had chicken breast it was a frozen chicken no flavour and horrible texture again said triple cooked chips frozen would never return for the price of it weatherpspoons serve better quality and that says something . Staff seemed unhappy or stressed and wasn’t even busy 1-10 rate
