The Anchor in North Lincolnshire

Linda and Zoe did a great job of making us feeling welcome

Was greeted by Jack on arrival, seated very quickly. Was asked whether I’d been before, asked whether there were any allergy’s to be aware of, we were asked if we needed a high chair which was provided straight away. Drinks were ordered and arrived within 10 minutes of being sat down so very quick service. And food was taken a couple of minutes later. Was presented with friendly, smiley attitude and food was lovely. Very good value for money and over all happy with the service and food. Jack and owen very friendly and helpful staff members during the visit.

I like this place anyway but yesterday when I came, they had a new menu, everything came and it was beautiful. It was cooked how we had asked and everything wonderfully hot. Services was lovely too.

We received very good, friendly and quick service. Served by Jack, we had no issues and the food was also really nice. We would all come back again.

Great food and excellent service. We were served by Jack who was friendly, professional and very efficient. Would definitely recommend

Visited with friends for lunchtime meal, stuck to lunchtime menu. Food and service were good (Jake was looking after us). Cost for 2 course lunch plus coffee £15, good value. Will come again

Mushrooms to crispy but tasty, no garlic mayo!! asked for no spicy sauces on ribs, but they put it on anyway. To spicy, couldn't eat.

Mushroom starter was so crispy they wouldn't cut, no garlic mayo. Tasted OK. Asked for no sauce on ribs but they put spicy sauce on it, enough that it was too spicy for me. Did mention I don't do spice, so that was disappointing. Staff helpful and friendly.

We had an excellent meal here today, the food was absolutely delicious, we had fantastic service from Jack our waiter. They had a wide choice of quality food, drinks & good vale too.

Ordering your meal is easy enough..just when your meal comes to the table and no communication from the lad bringing it.just slams it on the table and walks off..it says alot when your 10 year old daughter says what's wrong with him.. table 77 on the 23rd April 2025. 4.30 pm..if there interested

It was OK. But everything we have been we can't have what we would like as they haven't any left so that leaves you ordering something you really don't want or leaving

A nice place e, but a lotnofnoptions on the menu were not available. This seems to be a securing problem. The last 3 visits have been similar. Food was good, staff was very polite. There is not a lot of atmosphere in the restaurant.

All the staff were very attentive, looked after us really well... Josh Stuart and Michaela , will book here again .

This is a great experience and Georgina was absolutely fantastic she is a great hostess and really looked after us

Wonderful service from Stuart and Michaela. They have made our stay very memorable

Had a great meal with excellent and friendly service from Stewart, Josh and Michaela?

Nice enough starters but our steaks were terrible. Sirloin so tough it was impossible to cut, and the fillet looked like a piece of burned roast beef. Or even pork it was impossible to tell. Told the waitress that we were disappointed and she just said ‘oh I’ll go and tell the chef sorry about that’ then never came back. Took ages to get the attention for someone to get the bill even though it was only about 1/4 full at most. thankfully the manager came over to bring the bill, I asked if our concerns had been reported and he hadn’t heard anything but kindly took the cost off the fillet off the bill. Left a really bad taste (literally) and put a real downer on our evening. Won’t be going again sadly.

Had an awesome experience. Stewart was very kind and his service was perfect.

Never been here before now and it's good choices for food and drink and cleanish don't know if I'll go here again

We loved food and service,for sure will go there again xx

What a fine pub and restaurant, good staff, good atmosphere and excellent food, the steaks and the cooked breakfasts were outstandingly good value and delicious.

We visited on a Saturday evening for drinks and a meal with friends who were staying at the premier inn next door. We were served some perfect, delicious cocktails at the bar by Josh along with some friendly conversation. We were then shown to our table by a lovely lady called Zoe, who explained our menu options, gave some advice and took our order for some more drinks and then our food. Our food arrived promptly, was cooked perfectly, and was really tasty. Our server was really attentive even though the restaurant was full. After we had eaten, we moved back into the bar for some more drinks as it was such a welcoming atmosphere. We met our friends for breakfast the following morning. This time, we were greeted by a very cheery man called Karl. He explained the way breakfast was served, buffet style, again the food was perfectly cooked and delicious and the service we received could not be faulted. Definitely worth a return visit

Brilliant place for weekend breakfast. The kids love going there for brekky. We never book but they always fit us in

Excellent quality food, drink and service

I Havnt visited for years, so I gave it a try . Won't be back poor service ,mainly caters for hotel guests that are on expenses .

Something about this owner, I’m in existential shock. Came 1st march stayed in prem inn had no card of cash. Let me just say the generousnessss and the vibe of the entire restaurant is soothing especially in morning restaurant, any was after a book and half about paying through wire. He said you know what come in for free. Weirdest things I was looking for signs of Jesus for my life. I said please in the next 24hr… weird how life works that’s never happened to me before.

We came here for valentine's evening. We were drawn in by the offer of 2 courses for £18 being able to add a third course for just £3 each. Unfortunately there were items in the menu that were at an extra cost again so we ended up spending double what we'd planned but it was really nice. What really let the place down was how cold it was in there. Both me and my partner came away shivering we were so cold. They had made an effort with the tables though with it being valentine's which was a nice little touch. And service was good.

We had our Valentines meal there, everything was great. If someone said was there anything that you would change on your next visit, it would be not to sit next to a window, as it was a bit chilly on our legs, but this did not spoil our time or meal there. Staff was polite knowledgeable and we didn't feel hassled to leave once we finished our meal.

Staff was friendly when first arrived. However once we went to get our breakfast unfortunately the coffee from the coffee machine was warm. The bread was hard before even toasting it and the toasters were old and had to wait ages for your toast. When I said this to the staff member he was very rude and extremely unprofessional how he handled the situation. All he said was well nobody else has complained and turned to his colleague and asked she was then also rude. No appolagy and just given dirty looks. Will never go back here again as its not the same as it used to be. Iv been a few times in the past when coming from north of Scottish Highlands to scunthorpe.

I've visited 3 times in the last month. On the first couple of occasions the service was swift and the food was delivered quickly and the food was very good value. Unfortunately on my last visit on valentines lunch they seemed under staffed, I got chips instead of fries but didn't say anything because we had waited over 40 mins and I was hungry. Some of our party wanted puddings but no-one came to clear our table or ask so we left. The food was very good and the staff were friendly buy not enough of them .

Self service cooked breakfast all you can eat tea and coffee £10.99 friendly and helpful staff good atmosphere. Ensure to enter your vehicle registration number or face a fine this is not pointed out to you so be aware of this. (parking thieves)

Excellent service both breakfast and dinner. The steak was cooked to perfection. The service is always friendly with Owen from dinner and Linda for breakfast, always pleasant, been coming here for years and always book this restaurant when on work travels.

Food was lovely! Well priced, seemed understaffed.

Not a bad breakfast.. its quite annoying how they gang you all up on adjoining tables though when only a few in: specially when you just want some peace

Lovely breakfast. The food was a buffet style arrangement but all lovely and hot. Linda and Jess welcomed us warmly. Recommend

Xmas dinner never again! 2 slices of beef 1 shop bought frozen Yorkshire pudding. Shop bought frozen roast potatoes.

We had a lovely Christmas lunch yodat at the Anchor, Scunthorpe. The atmosphere, food and service were excellent

I recently visited the Beefeater in Scunthorpe, and my experience was outstanding thanks to both the exceptional service and the quality of the food. Natasha, one of the staff members, truely went above and beyond to ensure our visit was perfect. Her friendly demeanor, professionalism, and attention to detail made us feel incredibly welcomed. She was attentive without being intrusive, offering helpful recommendations and ensuring everything was just right throughout the meal. Natasha’s exemplary service paired with the delicious food made this a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend the Beefeater in Scunthorpe and will certainly return in the future.

Brilliant as ever. Regular haunt for a few drinks at the end of a busy week. See you next weekend

Service was excellent. We were in a large party and didn't have to wait too long for food which arrived for all of us at the same time. Food was mainly ok but a couple of steaks weren't quite cooked as requested

Went for breakfast great to see the buffet back very busy but well organised..

My steak was full of grizzle & the beer was expensive

Called for breakfast meeting, this being the second time in a month. The first time was not great, but I thought we would give it another try. I wish we didn't. Maybe when they first served up 7.00 its not so bad, but we went at 9.00 eggs were like bullets, and the rest of the food was really bad way overcooked, not burned but dried out. We have decided next time to go morrisons. At least it's freshly cooked and better quality, in my opinion.

Went for breakfast. Excellent cc choice, nicely presented and hot buffet cooked well and of good quality

Pre booked our table when we got there waited ten minutes to be seated even though we where five minutes early. Ordered our meal .which took absolutely ages. While waiting for our meal which by the way it wasn't a busy day . Another couple wated ages to pay for there meal . When we eventually got our steaks we ordered medium mine was nearly rare my partners was well done . The peas and steak were cold the only hot food was the chips . When we eventually got asked if our meal was ok we told him about the steaks which we had eaten half of and didn't have the time to wait for another to be cooked. So disappointed 😞. Last time we went it was a similar sinareo but put it down to it being a bit busier.

Excellent experience fantastic food and a special mention must go to Jack and Josh despite being incredibly busy coped magnificently: 5 star treatment. They are a credit to the company!!

The Anchor is a strange place, it's food is average yet charges a higher rate. The staff try to push extra on you when ordering. The website offers more than it actually offers, we couldn't get a subday carvery, though it clearly advertised it on a Google search. This needs addressing.

Great pub / eatery, friendly slick service, good atmosphere. Good selection of food and drink at reasonable prices. Would recommend.

We visited on a Wednesday evening with no pre booking. We were seated straight away and a high chair brought over immediately. Staff were friendly and welcoming, it’s still table service which is a nice change as most pubs are now order at the bar. Menu isn’t huge but has enough to pick from. We all enjoyed our meals and everything was warm and served quickly. Top tip for kids: order the side order of Mac and cheese instead of the kids one if they won’t eat vegetables 😂

Shown to the table and drinks order taken. Ten minutes later and drinks still not served. Drinks ordered again and they turn up 8 minutes later. Only one choice of three meats for the Sunday roast and this was at 14:15 pm. Service was terrible. First time I have been here for years and still no better.

Our server stew was amazing he gave us high fives and he gave my friend 6 corn on the cobs and he called us his friends so we got 3 tomato ketchup pots which is amazing I like stew ask for him as your server especially if you have kids.

Lovely breakfast and the lady that served us was nice. sadly the coffee machine was broken only a few coffees available so I can’t give full marks, also the Mens toilet stank of wee and that was despite being cleaned. This is nothing to do with the staff more the owners need to sort it out, even the outside is looking tired. But we went there for a nice breakfast and that is what we got.

Good food, good service and good value

Jack who looked after us was very professional and very pleasant

Family get together - not many people there so surprised it took so long to be served. Food was very nice.

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

breakfast with the grandchildren, lots of choice, exceptionally good value.

Absolutely worst fillet steak I've ever had, I couldn't eat over 60 percent, totally full off fat, the steak came with 5mm of over cooked carbon on the top. I complained and all they knocked off was £4.75, to top it all we got charged for sweets we didn't have so had to get that refunded.

First visit excellent. Already booked for a group of us next month

Staff were very pleasant and helpful especially Linda and the chef carol

Great pub and great food. Had a really nice meal with my wife. Would definitely recommend

Nice food, great service, decor could do with up dating though. Overall a nice experience

We visit every Sunday morning for breakfast, simply because our son has an eating disorder and it is the only place we can sit as a family and enjoy a meal. Service is excellent and all staff are super welcoming and friendly.

Excellent food and excellent service *****

Poor service, second occasion being refused a table due to insufficient staff.

Very clean, tidy pub. Polite staff, would visit again.

The waiter Jack, was friendly and kind who served us. Very welcome environment, all staff were professional and food arrived as expected within reasonable time.

Zoe and the team were amazing for a large group of 45 celebrating a surprise 60th wedding anniversary. From initial enquiry to the actual event was seamless and professional. Thank you to everyone.

Sunday lunch was excellent couldn't have been better

Far too expensive for what you get. Food was

Been here in the past and always pretty good pretty good.Not a complaint about the food.Don't know whats going on in Scunthorpe , but I have tried to book a table here and 4 other places .Can't book a table for 7 adults and two children,Been told no availability at any of them.Tried different times in the afternoon Sunday the 15th whats going on ???

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

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

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.

The burgers are best in Sunthorpe

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
