The Anchor Inn in South Gloucestershire

Food good service appalling……it took 30 minutes for them to ask if we wanted a drink and almost 45 minutes to order the food. Many tables had finished before we ordered.

Lovely meal tonight x tried the cheesy scotch eggs, absolutely delicious, then had the pork escalopes off the Winter menu, really tasty and would have again. Beautiful pub,lovely fire burning and staff very friendly x would definitely recommend to friends and family

Went in without a reservation but were found a table. Seemed really popular and I can understand why. Staff were vry friendly and helpful. Some nice choices on the menu. Didn't have to wait long for food to arrive and wasn't disappointed Would recommend

Booked a party of 19 so put the pressure on ! We were pleasantly surprised with the wonderful service , and very tasty food. Happy to recommend and visit again. A lovely pub in beautiful location , tasty food fast service . A great place for a family meal.

We booked the Anchor for a family meal for almost 20 of us. Having read the reviews we were very worried about whether the food would be nice but it didn't disappoint. My father in law said his roast lamb was the best he had ever had. Everything was well cooked. The puddings were delicious. The decor is old fashioned but perfectly enjoyable. Initial service took a while but the food came quickly and puddings, no mean feat for 18 of us. Perhaps they have off days, I don't know, but today our meal was lovely and we had a wonderful meal.

We are staying in Thornbury for a couple of days and decided to re-visit The Anchor Inn in nearby Oldbury on Severn. What a delightful country village pub it is, from the log fire burning huge logs to the smiling bar staff and range of draught beers. I chose the Fish Pie and my husband the Lambs Liver and Bacon, both of which were excellent. Thank you for a most enjoyable visit.

Stayed here previously and was very happy, but it has really gone down hill, my room is so noisy, a constant noise in the room from refrigerators or similar. No sleep! Breakfast choice in room has also reduced.

Until about five years ago, my husband and I lived in the area for some forty years and never had a bad meal at the Anchor. It was a must to visit on our trip down Memory Lane. What a disappointment! Beef curry was more like a watery beef stew with a spoonful of curry powder added at the last minute. We were glad of the generous pot of mango chutney to give it some flavour. We didn’t risk desserts. The young waitress seemed surprised at our answer when she asked us if everything was alright with our meal. She murmured “oh sorry” and that was it. Beer and wine were fine.

We’ve come here often on our way to Devon ,wont be coming again ,don’t know wether its under new management but they need to get a chef that can cook a burger ,all I got was. Soggy brioche bun full of raw burger ,also very expensive

Very poor meals served. Buttered chicken curry, luke warm and completely lacking in flavour. This was just chicken with curry sauce poured over. Second meal was Described as ‘chicken in lemon and herb’ but again no flavour and cold. Very sad as this used to be one of our favourite places to eat.

ordered food no problem but when it came to drinks of the five staff only one was allowed to do drinks and waited 15 minutes.

Pre-booked a one night stay to attend a party nearby. Location is lovely, room was well decorated, very clean and well stocked fridge. HOWEVER, our room, named ‘Dobbins’, was located immediately above some refrigeration units which were noisy and vibrated the bed / walls, to the point where I couldn’t sleep. Although acknowledging that it is a working pub, we have stayed in many other such pubs, without same issue. Tried to discuss with manager on checkout this morning, but he was dismissive and appeared completely uninterested. For this reason, would NOT stay again or recommend.

Good food with adequate Gluten Free options. Dog friendly in big garden but indoors dogs only allowed in the rather small public bar. Would be a squeeze on a busy wet day.

We popped into the Anchor after a dog walk down to the sailing club, as we've had really good food there before and the weather was warm. We sat outside and ordered, prices were really reasonable and food came within 15 minutes. I can honestly say that my meal (lasagne) was one of the nicest meals I've ever eaten. I know it's hard to get lasagne wrong but I will never enjoy one anywhere else knowing this one exists. Then the garlic bread, again, best garlic bread EVER. I could eat this meal every day for the rest of my life. My boyfriend had a venison burger & chips and said it was amazing too, but I was too focused on my own food to remember what else he said. Seriously. Incredible. Also nice toilets, and lovely staff. Will be back as many times this summer as I physically can!

Lovely pub, good beer, but the food was not great. We had two steaks, both of which were poor quality - excessive fat and gristle, and very poor for the price.

I stayed at at the Anchor inn for 1 night in January, i could not see a hotel part to review so leaving one here. A lovely room, clean and had everything for breakfast for you in the fridge, ready for the morning. I ate at the restaurant. The food was very nice, for a small pub it was very busy. Will stay again when in the area and have some more great food.

We visited here with friends in March 2023. It's some time since we visited (before Covid) and had good memories of the food served in the restaurant. This time we were seated in the bar area - nice enough, but not quality atmosphere like the restaurant. Our table was good enough but some looked very cramped for a meal. The food was OK - soup and tempura prawns to start and belly of pork and Pork Pire of the day as mains. Starters were good, but the pork belly was not the best. Nothing to complain about, but not as good as served elsewhere. Staff were friendly and welcoming but were hard put to cope with the level of business.

Went for Saturday lunch and the food was different and excellent, just the right amount, hot, and the coffee was hot too. Service was superb, we were not constantly bothered by staff asking if everything was alright and given the right condiments that were not sticky from use. Would definitely recommend and will return. Also a lovely setting

Ate here last night. New menu is much improved, food was excellent. Good, friendly service and reasonable prices. Some lovely real ales too.

this is my favourite place and reminds me of my family. this is the best place to remember things !!

Lovely beer garden, friendly staff I enjoyed a Yipee yay yey IPA and a beautifully cooked butter chicken curry. The portion sizes were incredibly generous too.

We have been going to the Anchor Inn for a few years, always had good food and service. The Sunday roast was not up to the standard we normally have, the meat was a big thick piece, normally have slices of meat, not much veg,...

Excellent roast beef sunday lunch. Excellent bass. Excellent prices. Excellent friendly staff. Fantastic log fire. Amazing location for walks along the Severn. Good car parking and overflow car parks. Great garden and boules piste. Perfect country pub

The meat roast looked ok but the Ratatouille feta bake was amongst the worst vegetarian food I have ever had. It's clearly a grudging afterthought. Management obviously told chef to skimp on ingredients (hardly any feta or aubergine) and on the prep time. It was...

B&B was fantastic, lovely views, very peaceful. The room was cosy, the bed was very soft and comfortable the room was very clean.

Every Friday like many we have our two wonderful Grandchildren; we travel local to find play areas and end up with maybe a pub lunch, which they love, we ended up at the Anchor with our two grandchildren, we were not at all made welcome,...

Had a lovely Sunday Roast Beef lunch and partner had delicious Seared Chicken. Sweets were also good. Nice location and lovely bright/light dining room. Staff friendly and extensive Sunday lunch menu. Popular so need to book a table in advance. Only draw back was small...

Asked to leave because our 1 year old daughter was under 12. Nobody else in the lounge at the time. Manager clearly didn't care we had received woefully inadequate customer service. Never to return

We were part of an evening dinner booking for 8 people. I hadn’t thought to check the menu for vegan / vegetarian choices until the day before as most places now a-days offer at least one option . I called ahead the day before and...

Stopped by The Anchor Inn after our lovely local walk by The River Severn. We sat outside the adorably quaint building for a few drinks before driving to our next destination. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area

Our first visit and very enjoyable lunch. Large pleasant garden. Even has a boule court. Good beer, food and service.

Six of us went to The Anchor at Oldbury on Severn tonight to celebrate my sons 30th birthday. We all had starters, mains and desserts and every dish we had was fantastic. Can’t fault anything at all, it was all amazing. Thank you The Anchor...

A faimily invite found us back here when it would not have been our choice. The pub and location are both charming ... but there is something not quite right about the management that filters down to the staff and general attitude and service. The...

4 of us stayed here for on night on the start of our holiday, rooms were spotless so much breakfast and evening meal was excellent. We left our chargers by mistake and when I informed them they put the in the post same day.. .....

Why is it that folk that do not enjoy serving the general public run pubs? This is a nice pub in a great location serving good food. BUT! like other visitors we found "the management" in depth, lacking in essential hosting skills (some staff OK)....

Nice garden. Food ok. But the staff did not wear masks and food had to be ordered at the bar rather than table service as other restaurants are doing. Disappointing.

Went for Sunday lunch, really nice food and garlic bread was one of the best I've ever had. Lovely service and very reasonably priced.

Visited this pub on Sunday 13 June. A pretty enough building in a charming setting but that’s as far as the positivity goes. Admittedly a reduced menu given the current scenario but having said that you might expect the food to be at least of...

I dined with this establishment last last night. I was greeted by a lovely young man named Zac! He proved outstanding service and is a true asset to the Anchor! This young man needs a raise! 🚀🌚

I was present when the previous reviewer was in the pub; his review was inaccurate and biased. The staff were polite to him. This pub does a terrific takeaway at the same high standard of food they have served me for the last 30 years....

awful experience. staff were rude, cocky and uninterested when I queried the VAT receipt not detailing the actual food I ordered. I asked if this could be rectified as I have never seen a bill like this before. I will not be returning and will...

We had a really delicious supper on Tuesday. They are running a special Tuesday night supper menu during September and my husband chose a steak from that which he said was excellent . Two of us had the trio of lamb chops with Greek salad...

Instead of undertaking the journey to Devon using motorways we decided to follow a leisurely route through the Wye Valley and then take a short detour to the Anchor Inn at Oldbury on Severn. The pleasant drive down country lanes to the village of Oldbury...

Visited for birthday lunch,awhile since we had dined here but no worries everything was to a high standard Good choice of alès,food well presented with good service and at reasonable prices All in all too be thoroughly recommended for a meal out

Really nice food at very reasonable prices. Friendly staff and great service. We sat outside in the lovely, large beer garden.

Collected a beef roast dinner today and it was wonderful really cheered us up during this difficult time thank you.

Excellent food . Perfect for a quiet drink or a nice meal . Great to meet friends and family. They do a great Sunday lunch . Friendly staff

We had lunch here and my husband chose pheasant which he enjoyed. I had fish and chips but it was more a child size portion.The price was £8.95 each. The fish was very good and fresh but small and I had 4 chunky chips- only...

We went here if our first visit a few months ago, but have only just got around to reviewing. The car park is poorly marked, so although we secured a disabled space some idiot parked so close to us that when we left I had...

Great pub used by the locals - used for a drink only This has separate bars - one for eating and the other a drinking side (not carpeted) which makes things a lot easier One toilet outside Car park separate

Went to The Anchor Inn for lunch. I had Crayfish Mayo and my husband had the Carrot and Lentil Soup which were both tasty starters. For main courses we had pan fried cod loin and roast duck, again good choices. We finished with one pavlova...

Haven’t been here for a while. But we booked a meal from the the Christmas menu for six of us and it was excellent. Fresh food, well cooked and a very good choice. The service was also very good. Highly recommended.

I had the Christmas dinner turkey and all the trimmings. The Christmas plum pudding was fine but small portion. Prawn starter excellent. Did fun quiz also .

We had good starters with crayfish mayo but bread which was previously great is now mediocre and in an extra. I hated my ravioli with mushrooms. It was green, greasy and on a bed of pointless rocket quite disgusting. There was some sort of tomatoes...

Booked a Sunday lunch here and arrived on time, but it was so busy our table was not ready and had to wait about half an hour, hence 4 out of 5 stars. The restaurant is in a modern extension to a beautiful traditional pub...

We stayed two nights at the Anchor Inn ( 8th & 9th November 2019). The Room we stayed in “Dancers” was first class, very clean and comfortable. The meals we had Friday and Saturday night were excellent, in particular the fish pie and lamb curry....

We had Sunday lunch here with family in the dining room. Everything was brilliant from the food to the service. There were two young girls serving in the very busy restaurant and they were excellent, very polite and we didn't have to wait long to...

It was my wife’s birthday and we had intended to go away for a couple of days but the weather was dreadful so we decided on a meal instead. We had eaten at the Anchor before and knew it was good so that was our...

Meal for two. The pub was quiet on a Wednesday, but our food, fish and chips and minute steak, was very slow in arriving. Very good when it did arrive, and reasonably priced. Happy smiling young staff and really well kept beer.

Beautiful place for a drink and dinner . Friendly staff and high qaulity food of great standards at a reasonable price . Its a must visit and you won't be disappointed.

We booked a surprise table for a family member at 2:30. We went to order food at 3:03 and were rudely told that they stopped serving minutes before - even though food was brought out for a further half an hour after! The owner had...

Loved this place for years. Expensive but a great treat in a lovely location. Bar manager miserable, but you don't eat with him!

I am fairly new to the country and to Oldbury itself. I find the Anchor to be a wonderful place to go and forget about the humdrum of daily life...Kids demanding more and more with every passing hour,it's unfair really,they want the moon on a...

One of our favourite places. Celebrating our wedding anniversary,. Buffet was wonderful, so many guests commented on how lovely it was. Really impressive care taken for celiac guest, was offered his own gluten rolls, and a lactose intolerant guest, all food prepared separately. Friendly, observant...

I play Boules here regularly. Often combine it with a meal or their lovely venison burger. Went with a big group for Christmas meal also and we all enjoyed the food and atmosphere . Friendly staff

Apart from the assistant who brought lunch to our table, the waitresses seemed uninterested and didn't make us feel welcome. We ordered hake and chips - there was a large portion of minted pea puree and a good portion of chips. The hake, however, was...

A typical country pub on the surface but they sure know how to satisfy the hungry. Simple fare but done very well and washed down with a decent pint.

We stayed for 3 nights – the room was large, bright, clean and airy. Prettily decorated with a large bathroom – it was a weekend of luxury in a beautiful village.

Met our son and his girlfriend for lunch here. The four of us each had a different main course - beef, lamb and chicken roasts plus a steak and kidney pie. All of us agreed the food was great - good selection of veg. Desserts were just as good.

Our party of 20 had prearranged to eat here for lunch after a walk. The staff kindly opened up early to take our orders and let us use the facilities prior to our start. The menu choice is comprehensive, the staff were pleasant, efficient and accommodating. The meals looked very attractive and appetising, they tasted excellent and quantities were adequate to generous. Our members chose widely from the menu and there were expressions of pleasure and mostly empty plates. The dining ambience is clean, fresh and appealing. We have been before and we will be back again. Give them a try to see for yourself.

To conclude our weekend in Bristol we had Sunday lunch in this pub. They operate 2 servings and we chose the 14:00 sitting. We had roast beef, followed by desert. The meal was well cooked and presented and represented good value in a very pleasant location. Clearly Sunday Lunch very popular with the clients. We had excellent service, thoroughly enjoyable meal.

Food is always excellent, love coming here for Sunday lunch! Highly recommend the duck! Perfect for families as well with a separate dining room.

Overcooked liver and small portions. Not expensive but I would prefer to pay more for better quality. Apparently it was the chef's day off. I would have to be convinced that this level of quality was not the new normal before I return.

A friend has been visiting here for 33 years and suggested we tried it. Super menu, lots of choice. Very friendly staff and good service. Excellent ingredients, we will visit here again

We went here to celebrate my Mums 90th Birthday. The staff were smiling and the service was excellent, nothing was too much trouble. The food for the 10 of us was excellent and the response time from ordering to table was first class. It is set in a wonderful location in the country village of Oldbury on Severn in South Gloucestershire and I would highly recommend it to all.

My friends had booked a table in the restaurant which we did not use as we were the only ones. We chose from the menu in the bar area which was friendly and reasonably spacious on a quiet Monday. Two of us had the warm goats cheese and chorizo salad and were a bit disappointed. An unimaginative salad was topped by two warmed goats cheeses with thin slices of chorizo on top and chutney on top. The cheese could have been warmer, and more chorizo would be good. The dish has potential ...... The Kashmiri curry was thoroughly enjoyed.

On a warm sunny day we decided that we wanted to have lunch in a pub garden, and after some discussion we decided that the Anchor would be a good option. Oldbury on Severn is a small village, not too far from home, and we thought we could have a walk along part of the nearby Severn Way after lunch.

We regularly go th the Anchor because it is a lovely atmosphere and always good food. This particular time we had a special Putcher Pie- big enough for 6 people you have to pre-order but fantastic ! Best pub meal we have had for ages!

we had lunch here with friends in the beautiful pub garden, which is very well kept. What was a shame was the loud noise of the fan for the kitchen, which is on the roof of the pub. It's really loud and, though staff were very pleasant, they told me they could do anything about it.

We went here on recommendation of our Airbnb hosts. We were not disappointed.They do an excellent Guinness and the food was very good and good value. We sat inside, but the outside area looks really nice.

Excelente para una escapada para un fin de semana! Un ser y ser más hospitalario en un pub rural con carácter, con una comida excelente, encantadora, cálida bienvenida del personal y cómoda habitación. El campo es ideal para caminar o en bicicleta, pero sólo nos relajamos. Nuestra habitación estaba bien equipada con una cama king size y un baño amplio con vistas a un huerto. Mi esposa particularmente me encantó el desayuno continental en la habitación con café recién molido, cereales, tostadas, fruta fresca y yogur todos señores impugnantes de cama viendo TV! Un descanso muy bueno. Volveríamos. Gracias!

Nos alojamos en el ancla por dos noches mientras visitábamos la familia en la zona. Por desgracia, no había facturado en tripadvisor antes de mi marido hizo la reserva.

Hoy he visitado este pub con un amigo después de un paseo con nuestro bebés diminutos. Llamamos para una copa rápida y después de pedir nuestras bebidas, nos informaron de que no se admiten niños en la zona del bar. Esta bien con nosotros y nos dijeron que podíamos sentarnos en el comedor donde tranquilo de todos modos. Nos trasladamos al comedor y los únicos. Otro miembro del personal apareció con menús y después dijimos que la comida nos informó de que si no estábamos comiendo, entonces nosotros no podríamos quedarnos en el comedor, a pesar de decirle que teníamos allí por otro miembro del personal. Como es que fuimos y nos sentamos en el jardín! ! ! Mi problema aquí es que nos dijeron una cosa por un miembro del personal y luego algo más por otro. Es especialmente molesto dado que nos habíamos llevado bebés si arneses instalados en lo que luego tuvimos que probar y reunir todo de nuevo, con bebidas de mover fuera. He visitado este Pub en el pasado y muy bien, así que no estoy contento con la experiencia de hoy.

Recientemente estuve en una sola larga distancia en bicicleta de Bridgwater a Rochdale entre el período 14/06/2017 y 17/06 / 2017. No reservar mi alojamiento porque no estaba seguro de cómo llegar lejos me cada día. También, ya que viajaba fuera del fin de semana en junio (no durante las vacaciones escolares de verano más frecuentada). Sin embargo, no hacer un poco de investigación antes de mi viaje de pubs, hoteles, etc., que eran directamente en mi ruta y donde posiblemente llegue cerca al final de cada día. Uno de esos pub que anuncian el alojamiento era el Anchor Inn, en Oldbury en Severn.

Mi compañero y yo cruzamos a Oldbury de Thornbury y nos sentamos en el jardín encantador para tomar una copa rápida y algunos bocadillos. El lugar es un pub de estilo clásico antiguo, nada muy elegante, pero el lugar ideal para la ubicación. Era tan agradable que me llevé a mi padre allí al día siguiente - es el día perfecto de juego con un paseo en bicicleta. También he estado aquí una vez antes con un par de amigos para comer y el menú tenía mucha variedad y la comida era fantástica! Mi amigo es vegetariano e incluso ella tenía un montón de opciones! Además, el personal es muy amable! Sobresaliente! !

Pero agradable pub en 20 libras por un bistec que era difícil y sólo unos 2 / 3 rds comestible debido a la grasa y el cartílago no es mi idea de una buena relación calidad-precio. Patatas fritas no son el signo horno de buena comida. Los precios de la cerveza, el ambiente, el servicio y los jardines están bien.

What a lovely find at the end of long winding lanes! Beautiful setting close to the River Severn, great walk to view both Severn Bridges and the estuary.We stayed one night and really didn't want to leave, our room was one of the best we've stayed in, triple aspect, beautifully fitted out and a fantastic bathroom. Breakfast in our room was a little different but the range of items was huge and all quality products, some being locally sourced. Our evening meal in the restaurant was very good and reasonably priced. Service from the waitresses was attentive and they were very pleasant. Retiring to the bar after the meal was cosy and very relaxing.All-in-all first class and we can't wait to go back

Stopped here for an evening meal while walking part of the Seven Way. It was warm so we ate in the quiet, well maintained garden. Service was prompt and the food choice was reasonable (with some more unusual dishes) and not too expensive. My char grilled steak was cooked as medium/rare as requested. More locally sourced beers would be nice.

Stayed here for one night on a B and B basis. This is a delightful olde world pub. The selection of beers and food was good. However I was disappointed that breakfast was a do it yourself in the bedroom. Was staying over with another couple and sitting alone in my bedroom having breakfast by myself would not be my choice again. The bedroom was very modern and clean albeit access was outside the pub and upstairs not suitable for anyone with disabilities.

After a walk nearby and, in fairness, because we used their spacious car park we went for drinks before leaving. We went straight to the beer garden as we had dogs with us and it was a lovely day (in the sun). One of my party told me that he was told to leave the pub not so long ago because he went in with his kids - they're ok with dogs though (go figure?).The garden was well maintained and has a boules court behind it. I've had warmer welcomes at the bar, but the service was quick, the beer was good and the price was fair. We only ate crisps, so no comment on the food.

A lovely pub with a great garden where you can enjoy an alfresco drink in the sunshine. The Stilton ploughman's lunch was good too.

Decided to pop in the Anchor after spending the morning shopping in Thornbury, although very busy we were not kept waiting and ordered our drinks and food within minutes, the staff were very helpful and the atmosphere and clientele was lovely. Both our meals were delicious and superbly cooked, a good choice of ales ( I would recommend the Trelawney ). Will definitely return sooner than later

Would recommend, good variety of food with special offers available, very busy for a sunday night, always a good sign

I ordered a chicken and bacon ciabatta for lunch at a price of £7.50. This was advertised as coming with salad and coleslaw.The ciabatta itself was average - small for the money and not exactly generously filled. There was a tiny garnish of green salad on the side of the plate and probably all of two tablespoons' worth of coleslaw. Half way through eating the ciabatta I found out why...I took a bite of the coleslaw and it had really gone off. Unfortunately I swallowed a small amount before I could take evasive action. Not pleasant! On closer inspection I could see it was not the right colour - distinctly yellowed. I gave myself a minute, took a generous sip of Tribute, and finished the ciabatta. I don't usually give one-star reviews, in fact I think this may be my first, but being served rancid food - that'll do it.We pointed this out to the young man serving when he came to collect the plates. I knew from one look at him that he wouldn't apologise, and I wasn't disappointed. He said, "I'll let the kitchen know".At this point I had already decided not to eat in The Anchor again.He did reappear, without consultation, with a fresh coleslaw and green salad, but strangely enough, because I'd not long swallowed some rancid coleslaw I wasn't really in the mood for it any more, but another member of the party took advantage. The difference between what came out as a replacement, and what had been on my plate to begin with, all I can say is it reminded me of Fawlty Towers.The young lady who came to clear those plates did say sorry about that, but not with any conviction. There was no attempt to provide a discount, discounted dessert, etc.Had the rest of the food been worth coming back for, I might've tried a bit harder to get some satisfaction. But it wasn't, so I didn't, and I won't. Other meals ordered were ok but on the small side and not good value for money. As others have said, there are far better options in this part of the world and if you're not local I wouldn't eat here - drinks only (good guest ales on tap at least). The Salutation in Berkeley (great rolls) and the Tudor Arms up at Slimbridge (great baguettes) are just two better bets.

After 3 weeks of bringing up our newborn we decided to venture out for lunch to a reasonably local pub in the area we've been wanted to try for some time. It was our first proper outing with the little one so we packed the usual array of baby related paraphernalia (that pretty much filled up the boot of the car) then drove the 20 minute drive to The Anchor in Oldbury and got there about 2pm ish.We then unpacked the car (10 mins!) , and went into the bar. Now admittedly, we hadn't booked however as we went into the busy bar area we found a free table next to the bar. We negotiated round the tight tables to eventually sit down. We unpacked our stuff, took our jackets off and got the little on out for some milk. After about 5 minutes the rude girl serving at the bar said "you have to leave; no kids allowed in the bar!". Err ok... we were literally forced to leave with no compassion which was embarrassing and upsetting for both of us.We'll never be going back to this place. It didn't even look great inside. The Salutation Arms in Berkeley is not only nicer in side but also serves better food and has a really nice kids play area. Seriously; save yourself a journey - there's much better places in the area.

If you want to drink or eat and drink at any time of the year heroes the place to visitNear the river, a walk away, excellent facilities but mainly a fantastic menu and never disappointing The gardens are a delight in the summer and the bar and lounge highly recommended with warmth created by open fire and now recently added b and b accommodation which our friends regard as high qualitya real treat then and excellent value

This pub has a traditional British menu with steak, fish pie, duck. They every different type of potato you can imagine! The food is great and consistent.The service is average though and a little frustrating!

I was out for a long cycle ride with my two boys aged 10 and 7.We needed a rest and a drink and stopped at The Anchor.Despite the pub being almost empty, we were banished to the beer garden to drink our drinks.In the summer I am sure this is lovely, but at 5pm on an Autumn evening it was and cold miserable and having spent sometime cycling we rapidly cooled down.My boys are well behaved, and particularly in an empty bar there was no need to kick us outside.

We had looked through the menu online, and decided what we might want. When we went to the dining room & saw the extra menu for that day we all changed our minds, and had a yummy pancake filled with all sorts of seafood, and generously topped with toasted cheese. We will be eating here again!
