We had just arrived at our apartment and thought we would take a stroll down the Promenade and would have no bother getting a table in a restaurant - sure it's Sunday evening in September, the town will be deserted. How wrong we were! We tried several places, either no availability or a long wait. At the very end of the Promenade we saw the Anchor, there was someone at the gate looking like a bouncer, this didn't seem too promising. We asked him about availability for a group of 4, he checked, said yes, brought us in, and we were sat at a booth well away from anyone else and with muted Sky sports in the background. We had a round of drinks and main course only, 2 fish/chips, 1 burger/chips, and 1 something else - I'm sorry I forget what. All came quickly and all were very satisfying. Total bill including tip £73. Considering we had walked in off the street and our expectations were not high we were very impressed, and would certainly return.

Order the beerbattered catch of the day with garlic fries. Fish came out with a very fine crispy batter. The most flaky fish I have ever tasted. Garlic fries were extremely crispy and buttery. We have been before over a year ago and it was lovely then and even better now will be back.

The Government Scheme is encouraging people to eat out and get a 50% discount up to a total of 10.00 on each person's food bill.The 'powers that be' in this establishment must think that it is costing them the 10.00 as the portions have shrunk. 14.00 for a piece of salmon 12cms. x 2.5cms (get one in Tesco for 1.50) and 3.00 extra for mash and no way is it wild salmon as was claimed. It is totally overpriced and a small breast of peppered chicken at 10.00 is totally overpriced for what appears on the plate and again 3.00 for a small side order.Maybe it would take the profiteering out of the equation if a side order was included in the prices.We won't be backWe won't be back.

I’m ashamed to say that this was our first visit after coming to the north coast for years!! The first thing I want to say is how spotlessly clean everywhere and everything was including tables, crockery, glasses and cutlery! The staff were wearing masks and were extremely attentive and friendly!! They took our contact details and we also witnessed scrupulous cleaning of tables and chairs between customers! All of which was very reassuring! The food was excellent and piping hot. We order chicken goujons and a burger along with garlic fries. The portions were good sized and in fact I couldn’t finish mine! For £23 in total we found it pretty good value! Great good at sensible money!! Thank you. We will be back soon!!

I'm not sure whether it is because we were a big group of 17 year olds, but service was extremely poor. The meals were all over £10 but genuinely contained less than the amount you'd expect in a children's meal. I counted 6 pieces of honey chilli chicken for £10. The chicken goujons were £11 without a side and there were 4 fairly small pieces of chicken. Overall, everyone in our group feel extremely ripped off and can't tell whether it is because they took advantage of the fact we are all teenagers. Either way, this should definitely not be even in the top 10 never mind the '#1 restaurant in Portstewart". Extremely disappointed.

We decided to go for a day out by visiting the North coast, stopping in Portstewart for lunch at the Anchor Bar Complex. We were seen to promptly on entering and seated beside the open fire which was great due to the stormy winds outside, the heat was a great welcome. I chose the 8oz steak with fries and pepper sauce while my fiancée chose the steak and chicken stack with chunky chips and pepper sauce, both meals were fantastic and great value. Dessert I chose the cheesecake whilst my fiancée wanted ice cream and jelly, both were delicious. Great place to visit, family friendly atmosphere and the staff were excellent, friendly and totally attentive. Will definitely be back over the summer, highly recommended to try this great restaurant/bar.

There are stools at the bar for about 10 people, but various seating options for at least another hundred or so. The bar area was spotless, as were the restrooms.The bartenders were prompt and professional.The beer was cold. The food was hot and tasty. The prices were fair.

We went here for tea one evening because the place we wanted to visit was closed. We were so glad we did. There is parking outside and it's free in the evening. The pub is sited right next to the sea shore. We sat at bar stools in the corner and we had starters of garlic bread, Avocado caesar salad and potato and leek soup. For mains we had Guinness pie, a steak and a steak Ciabatta. the young one said her steak was cooked to perfection and the Guinness pie was top notch. My Ciabatta was really filling but half way through the mains we all realised there was just too much food as the starters were very ample on their own. However, we stuffed ourselves. One thing we noticed was that we had to purchase fries as additional side orders and the chips came out as thick as a man's thumb. Now the cost was £70 with our drinks, which was the usual Guinness for me and soft drinks for them. The meal was excellent value for money and about the best food we had all week. Pay it a visit if you're in the area and you will be rewarded with friendly staff and really good quality food done simply but effectively.

It was very busy at 6.30 and the restaurant manager I presume told us it could be 7.30 before we could get a table but he would try to get it earlier. We went 5o the bar to wait but was also very busy and too loud for our 7 yr old but we managed to get a seat at the front door beside the restaurant. We had only had taken a sip of our drink when the manager called us for our table. He was so very efficient. Waiter staff were lovely and the food delicious.

A great spot for food, drink and friendly, professional staff. The Anchor has good music evenings and if there’s any sport worth watching you will be spoilt as to which television to watch it from.

We have always enjoyed our visits to The Anchor and in fact I gave it a great review in May. When we visited recently I was more than a bit surprised when I got my lasagne - instead of the standard layers of tomato sauce it was beige and if pushed to give it a flavour I’d say chicken in fact it could have been chicken and/or mushroom soup. It was certainly different, glad to say my husband’s chilli chicken was as expected. Still great atmosphere and great staff.

Too crowded to take my wife into. Seems like it could be a firetrap at the NW200. Did not seem to limit occupancy at all.

On a cold, damp and blustery day driving across Northern Ireland, we happened upon this pub for our lunch stop. A lucky break for us. The Anchor was warm and atmospheric with lovely and unique architectural features which we loved. The gorgeous timber work at the bar had been salvaged from (I hope I remember this correctly) a church in Europe (Belgium?) so it was very special, enhancing the ambience of the place. We were not overly hungry but needed a break from our driving so shared a plate of toasted sandwiches and had a drink, but the staff did not care that we were not spending much in their establishment - they still treated us like honoured guests and gave us their time to discuss the building and also helped us with directions. They could not have been more kind and generous. I wish we had been able to stop for longer. If you are visiting or indeed staying in Portstewart, this should be at the top of your list.

was busy but we were served quickly. B our drinks and food order arrived in short time, two of us had smoked fish risotto which was very fresh and tasty. The other main of curry was equally good. We have never had a bad meal here and will continue our visits when in Portstewart

4 of us went for lunch on a Sunday. First note was the great attitude if all the staff from start to finish, all very pleasant. Great seating, not sitting to close to other diners so you can have a conversation. The quality of the food was excellent. I had the seafood chowder starter and a beef and chicken main. All well presented and very tender. Everyone enjoyed their meals and also the beautiful decor. Very reasonably priced. If you are around Portstewart definitely give this place a try

Recommended by b&b; owners. Had sea bass and local sausages with champ and both were excellent. Deserts were also very very good particularly the mint aero cheesecake. Friendly staff and good service

Called in here Saturday evening for a meal. Overall service and food excellent. Would perhaps be of benefit having a couple more vegatering options available. My stake was very good and deserts were excellent. Yes I definitely recommend travellers to call in for a meal

After trying to pick a restaurant around portstewart/portrush, we finally decided on anchor bistro. Weren't sure what to think as from outside it seems like a normal pub. As soon as we seen the bistro tho, we were very happy, absolutely stunning interior.

Waited for an hour and 15 for a table for two. Tables called for through a microphone just like a bingo night. Only two vegetarian options if you don't eat fish. I had the bruschetta and goats cheese salad. Bread cold and hard, goats cheese rubbery and not that warm with the salad surrounding it sparse.Very dissappointing, especially when have waited so long. Probably not go back unless vegetarian options revised.

Visited here again for the fourth time recently for a Saturday evening meal with my girlfriend. Restaurant was absolutely buzzing and the quality of food and service never disappoints. Great value tasty food that offers some of the best food on the north coast without breaking your wallet! We will both be back again very soon. Book your table in advance if you're planning on visiting on a weekend. Highly recommended!!!!!

Attended Anchor as part of 17 in a group booking using set menu. All communication friendly and emails replied too quickly. Food on the night hot and delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meal and we have no hesitation returning. All staff friendly and helpful.
