The Anchor in Central Bedfordshire

What a little gem! Had the best meal here Sunday , the weekend grill, the lamb was as to be expected, done in the traditional Greek way..plenty of vegetables and beautiful tasting oven potatoes, Delicious.. The menu is so refreshing from other pub/ restaurants.. plenty of variety and different!! We were too full to sample any puddings.. But it won't be long before we're back...

The restaurant overlooks the harbour. The food is mostly Italian but they do do a small selection of other food. Lovely pizza's and pasta. The staff are really friendly, helped out with our very poor Spanish speaking skills (they also understand English quite well). There were 8 adults and one child in our family group, so they rearranged the furniture so we could all sit together. We all had a main meal, two bottles of wine, 3 large beers and several soft drinks and the bill came to €108.

What a great experience, warm welcome & very accommodating. I am a vegetarian gluten free & was given a number of options including things not on the menu. Very friendly, very helpful staff. Food was really lovely, thoroughly enjoyed & will be back!

My sister and I had lunch here on our way to visiting the National Trust house Ascott nearby. There was nothing to fault and much to praise about the food and service here. The starters (crab, quail egg and asparagus, and lamb) were inventive, well balanced and delicious. The main course of sirloin steak with onion rings and blue cheese fritter was superbly cooked and the mushroom purée really sublime - all very far from boring and a good step up from usual restaurant cooking. The lager and lime pudding was great fun and jolly good too. Altogether we were really pleased with such excellent value for money, you don't often get such an interesting menu so well prepared outside of London at such a decent price.

food and atmosphere great, well presented and very good food! So good to see The Anchor back on track, look forward to eating here again, well done!
