The Anchor Inn in North Somerset

Went to get food, walked in asked if they do food to simply be told ‘No’ though it says bar & restaurant on the outside. Don’t know if this is all the time or not but they didn’t elaborate to say anything like ‘not just tonight’ or ‘we’re now out of season’ so assume they are just now solely a pub.

Called in here twice while away. Nice pub & friendly staff. Was made to feel welcome by all. prices are reasonable

My family consists of 2 adults, 2 teenage children & my mother in law & the dog, we called into the Anchor Inn to have a meal as we were staying in the caravan site close by. We were greeted by a very friendly group of customers & staff. We asked if they had a menu ? Unfortunately they apologised most sincerely that on this night they weren’t doing any food. however, they offered a solution?, as there was an Indian takeaway next door the barmaid who was extremely helpful went the extra mile. She explained that if we wanted we could eat our takeaway meal here in the pub. We were flabbergasted never had we such generous service. Not only did we have a meal there, cutlery & crockery was provided for us & our rubbish was cleared away afterwards. The atmosphere in the pub & the friendly staff I can only say is brilliant. The only sad thing is that we live 200 miles away, if ever I am down this way again, I shall certainly be revisiting.

stopped here for lunch. Pub said it was under new management. Walked in and stood at the bar waiting to be served. Finally one of the locals went to find someone to come and serve. This seemed to cause some confusion as the lady who came in at the locals request said she wasn't serving. A man then appeared from behind the bar and apologised saying he was bottling up. We asked if they did sandwiches and were told no but they could do us some rolls but it would take about half an hour. The local who had tried to help us had a roll which did look good but we didn't want to wait half an hour. We were advised by the member of the bar staff to try the pub across the road!

Exactly what we wanted - dog and family friendly. Lovely warm service with a smile too. Food was delicious and loved by us all!

Me and my children had a great roast dinner will recommend everyone to try fantastic can’t wait to try breakfast will defo go back great food wally the chef and the staff and new owner sally r fantastic keep up the good work you got a fantastic place x

Great little place this the manager jase is very nice made us all feel very welcome from the minute we stepped in. If your staying on the holidays park next door definitely worth a visit

We were just popping round from Riverside caravan park. 1st impressions were good ones. Every1 said Hi. The landlord from Manchester was every friendly & the drinks weekend expensive. A good old local pub , blazing fire, & lovely atmosphere. Deffo worth a visit with the resident D J Shaun , who was onły too happy to play what we wanted. All in all A great night with great people. Came as strangers , left as friends. Xxxx

The Anchor Inn, Georgina’s Restaurant gets a 5* rating from my son and I. We called in 22/11/18 and had a meal from the specials board, braised beef and dumplings with mustard mash and scrumpy pork in pastry pillows, the taste was incredible, everything is homemade and vegetables were also served in a separate dish, portions are very generous and for £8.95 each extremely good value. Very friendly staff, lovey chef, roaring fire, music and we watched the racing on the tv as well. Go there you will not be disappointed 👏👍🙌🍽🍷😋

Dog friendly, warm welcome. Lovely beers, pool table, clean toilets, free WiFi and the food turned out to be actual home made quality fodder. Gets my 5 star award for sure

Amazing meal here a spur of the moment stop off at a place we passed many times before. The meal was awesome well beyond expectations great people prices and atmosphere we will be back.

We have just returned from Bleadon as we are thinking of moving to the area from Bristol. We called in to the Anchor as the cottage we are interested in is literally just down the road. What a lovely, friendly pub!! We spent a few hours there chatting and had a pub lunch. We certainly would recommend and are keeping our fingers crossed that it will be our local pub in the future.

Our Saturday night party of 7 included 3 vegetarians and one guy in a wheelchair, plus a labrador. From the moment we arrived, nothing was too much trouble, and the food was amazing! We veggies had 5, yes 5 menu choices - and they weren't just the standard vegetable lasagne, curry and burger. I had vegetable tempura, which was just as it should be, light and crisp. I believe my companions were equally satisfied with their menu choices. Most of us don't normally bother with dessert, but on this occasion we all had one. I think this was because we'd enjoyed our mains so much that we expected the desserts to be special - and they were (far more interesting than the online menu suggests).. All this and reasonable prices too. We will be back, I'm sure.

The food was great. Really enjoyed it. Definitely would recommend to people who want a family dinner. Kind staff was a plus.

Popped in for Sunday lunch as we were struggling to find a pub! Although we were the only diners the food was hearty and very nice. Clean little restaurant and friendly staff!

very dog friendly pub don't be put off from outside large choice of menu and food was excellent all hone made not mass produced. Will visit again as service was excellent

Came to Somerset for a weekend with friends & found this great pub that welcomed our dogs & us. The food was amazing ....the Sunday Lunch was all cooked fresh and tasted delicious . Nothing was too much trouble for the landlord & we will defo be coming back to Somerset even if it’s just for Sunday lunch here. Highly recommend this pub & the fact it had an open fire burning was the icing on the cake.

Stopped in the caravan site next door but the pub on site wasn’t dog friendly so went to the Anchor Inn and was so glad we did. The owner was amazing, he was so friendly and funny. The pub was super dog friendly. Very reasonably priced and the Sunday lunch was to die for!! Had the lamb shank it it was awesome!! Can’t wait to return and would recommend this place to everyone!! Loved it!!

No menu choice apart from Roast Beef or Roast Pork and one dessert ....choc fudge cake and ice cream!!

Wonderful Sunday lunch, beef very tender and the pork was awesome. The staff member who served us was very polite.

We were staying in the area and fancied a Sunday lunch. So glad we called in. The roast on offer was pork or beef. We both chose the beef, which was served with a yorkshire pud, boiled and roast potatoes, carrots and cabbage. The beef was very tender and tasty as was the rest of the food,you got a good plateful so we couldn't have managed a sweet. The service was very speedy. Price was £9.50 each. It wasn't too busy and it was 2 o'clock. There was a Hungry Horse over the road so whether a lot of people went there I don't know but we have always found their food sub standard so no contest really! Would definitely return if in the area again. There is a holiday park right next door so I imagine it would get very busy in high season.

Bar area is great. Good range real ales and lager. Lovely friendly staff and locals. Traditionally decorated.

Popped in here for a quick drink after a bad experience at the 'Catherine's Inn'.

Wow, went from Plymouth to Weston super mare to view a camper van. found this place to feed me, hubby and elderly dad, needed to be dog friendly as had taken my 2 chihuahuas, well, was super friendly and roast was best we have ever had, you must try this place.

Called in on the off chance for a Sunday roast with our grandson and were immediately made welcome and served a very tasty roast. Ate in the bar which was ok but we weren’t put off as friendly service and a very good roast especially the Yorkshire’s !!

Found this place after a hunt for a roast dinner after a windy walk along Brean with our dogs. Luckily the owner was able accommodate all 7 of us and 2 dogs at short notice. The roast beef was cooked to perfection with freshly cooked Yorkshires piled high on top. Very friendly staff, also dog friendly who even gave the dogs a beef sample. Will definately return

After a long walk with friends we needed to find a local pub that could accommodate seven of us plus two dogs. The owners were fantastic and managed to fit us in at the last minute. They were incredibly hospitable and couldn’t do enough. We had the most delicious roast and even our dogs were given some beef as a treat! We will most definitely return. Thanks so much.

Great pub, great atmosphere, fantastic staff.

This is a great little pub where the atmosphere is cosy and the staff and customers are very friendly. They serve really excellent home made pub food. This is certainly a pub to visit as it is further developed with the restaurant. Have now been there on 3 separate occasions for a meal as a couple and with the family and each time the food was excellent, in quantity and quality, as was the atmosphere and staff. Thoroughly recommended.

Just like to say thank you to all the staff that worked on New Year’s Day 2018 we were the mad welsh group of 16 that came in we had a lovely evening on the open mic ,

Stopped here on the way home after a recommendation.

Went here last Sunday 10th December on our way back from shopping in Bristol. It was about 2.30 so we stop in for a bite to eat the lady behind the bar was very welcoming told us what the roast was we had 3 meats to choose from. The place it self was very homely warm and had a great atmosphere. The food was lovely plenty of it ive never seen Yorkshire pudding so big, it was very taste, hot and there was plenty on ur plate . Next time we are down that way we defo be going there again.the food was well worth the money .

We popped into The Anchor for drinks after eating next door at the Indian. The atmosphere was fantastic, like old pubs used to be. Friendly landlady and landlord who were extremely welcoming. We will definitely pop by again and after reading the reviews on your food, we will eat next time too. When we left, the locals even said goodbye. Great place. Well done.

The service in this pub is second to none. Staying in the holiday park next door to The Anchor Inn, travelling back from a day out, I called ahead to enquire if they served gluten free food. The landlord said he can cater for me, but we took longer arriving than expected. The landlady called me to check we were on our way as the kitchen had closed. I explained we were lost but close by. They held the kitchen open for us. The food was lovely. Atmosphere great. The landlord and landlady were very welcoming. We stayed until close, only wishing we lived closer and could visit regularly.

The food and service was second to none great value for money lovely meal had by all highly recommend

Dropped by at 2.30 on a Sunday staff lovely. Sunday lunch was fabulous the roast pork and cradling out of this world! Super non Boston gravy! Whilst the pub doesn't look much from the outside give there Sunday lunches a try sure you won't be disappointed

Owners very welcoming and great atmosphere. Food was excellent and the steak was cooked specifically to taste. Highly recommended and dogs allowed in the bar area. Best food we have had all week in Brean.

On holiday with friends and decided to try The Anchor for Sunday carvery lunch. Very simple surroundings but fabulous food. Just like a home cooked roast dinner. Service excellent.

Our son treated us to Sunday lunch here & it was absolutely delicious. Great little family run spot.

Had a Sunday lunch for 17 for a 90 birthday celebration, and can't fault the food and service amazing pork belly roast with crispy crackling, lovely tender lamb thanks, crispy potatoes and lively fresh veg. Fab puddings can recommend the waffle and ice cream and the sticky toffee sponge. Nothing was too much trouble extra gravy more potatoes brilliant and reasonably priced too! We had kids with us and the kids portions were rather big. A lively treat for all ages in our family.

We have visited a few times to watch our home team on Sky Sports and have always had a friendly welcome. The food is excellent and freshly prepared, and the Sunday Roast is great value. It is also a nice place to call for a drink as the owners and family, and locals are very welcoming.

We went for lunch on Sunday with friends. Lovely friendly owners and very tasty lunch. Would definitely visit again.

Owners are extremely friendly and really welcoming, food was absolutely amazing, the roast and pudding was spot on. Will definitely be back again next week. Such a delight.

Lovely friendly family run pub. Beautiful food.The roast dinner I had today was amazing. Traditional home cooked food xx

We found this place after the previous pubs in Uphill decided not to be serving at weekends again or shutting the kitchen early for cleaning ! I'm so glad they did ... lovely dog & people friendly pub ... Sunday lunch had actually finished at 3pm but they opened the kitchen again 2 hours later ... we had delicious lamb shank dinner & pork belly dinner, great sized portions - we will be returning - thank you

If you're in the area and need a dog friendly pub then this is the place to go. First rate home cooked food at a reasonable price. There is a separate restaurant area which doesn't allow dogs but the same menu is available in the bar where our furry friends are welcome. We visited with friends and our two dogs and were made really welcome from the moment we stepped in the door. The food was excellent, plenty of it and really tasty. I would recommend The Anchor to anyone who enjoys good food!

After visiting two previous pubs and not getting Sunday lunch, we took a ride to the Anchor. Whilst we were very close to the 3pm closing for food, and a large party they were serving, we were warmly welcomed. We were informed there would be a little delay on the food which we didn't mind as we only too happy to have found somewhere that was serving food. We all ordered beef which was excellent and really good value for money. We were really well looked after and can recommend it for anyone in the area. We'll be back

Whilst holidaying in Weston, also visiting friends, we attended this pub for Sunday lunch, I've got to say it was totally amazing, my husband and I had the lamb Shank,and my friends husband, my friend had the Pork Belly. The meat was cooked to perfection and plenty of it !! vegetables very yummy, especially the roasties. Proper gravy, We are quite big eaters and I must say we were very full when finished.The hosts are lovely people, very friendly and welcoming. Needless to say I would recommend this place to anyone, and we shall definitely be returning 5 * job, keep it up Jason !!!!

Good value and high quality home cooked food, local produce, chef willing to make alterations to dishes if requested. 5* service and definately worth the visit. Real ales, wines and draft beers, all wonderful selections. This stone heritage pub has a very welcoming and relaxed atmospere, set in a traditional village location. . We will definately be back.

We arrived after food had stopped being served but had been stuck in traffic and was starving! The chef very kindly offered to cook us something and was extremely helpful in catering to our needs. The food was freshly cooked, tasted amazing and piping hot, which was a bonus! Our 2 year old son ate all of his he loved it that much and it was a big portion. The portion sizes of the adults were brill too. A very tasty, good quality meal in a lovely atmosphere. Thank you very much for such a great and welcoming experience.

First visit to this pub.A very Friendly pub, amazing food and good value for money. Will definitely return

We arrived late but we were still able to have a roast dinner, we all had something different lamb shank, beef and belly pork. All were delicious with generous portions and homemade yorkshires. Owners were very welcoming.

Hospitality and staff warm and welcoming we had roast belly pork Sunday lunch and it was outstanding the best roast by far and will definitely be visiting more often when down this way would recommend to anyone

Great english food which we and our 3 boys loved to eat. Our favourites were the lamb and the Yorkshire Pudding. For dessert we had some lemon pie. Delicious!The owners are great people! They even re-opened the kitchen just for us. They are open, friendly and the kids had lots of fun with them. We would come back any time !

Fab food . .great staff .would recommend to everyone .food home from home . Lovely people . We arrived after Sunday lunch had finished but they still served us.fantastic value for money .well worth a visit

Once more the food was fantastic the staff was very friendly lovely place to eat and meet friends you can relax and have a great time well worth a visit any time day or night

Had lunch here today, food was amazing! Run by a husband and wife, ably assisted by their charming daughter! My husband said it was the best roast beef he has ever had (and I'm a chef!) My belly of pork was succulent and very tender, delicious. I heard other diners commenting on how excellent the food was. We are going back in 2 weeks time with friends. The couple only took over running the pub a few months ago and are already establishing themselves as a brilliant place for Sunday Lunch, so I would advise booking! Very generous portions too and most importantly HOT!!! If I could give them 6 stars for value for money I would! I spoke with the very friendly Landlady and she told me they are busier every week. Deservedly so! Keep up the great work. A genuine old English country pub. Also dog friendly.

What a lovely authentic pub, popped in to grab a bite to eat and watch the footy. Oh my gosh, the food was fantastic, real home made fish, chips & mushy peas. Really friendly staff and excellent service. Wil be sure to pop in again on our next visit.

What a find, looking for a pub dinner where we could take the dogs and this was it. Wife and I enjoyed a perfectly cooked steak with amazing chips and crispy onion rings, tasted amazing. finished off with a sticky toffee pudding so light I could have eaten two mmmmmmm! Not only that but we had access to the Pool table to finish off with even with the dogs, who behaved impeccably for a change. Owners were land lady and chef couple who were very welcoming and as I say the chef nailed it for us and very reasonably priced too. Massive 5 stars from us well done.

A lovely, family friendly pub I believe under new management. We had an absolutely beautiful Roast Beef Dinner and Wow what a generous portion. I would highly recommend.

Very friendly people and good meal. family run , great. Really nice time. Highly recommended. Will visit again when down there

Hi everyone me and my wife have just taken over at the anchor inn and have hi hopes for the future of this wonderful little pub watch this space

I called in here for a pint of cider (not real cider) while out walking from Weston-super-Mare. There was no food being served during my mid afternoon visit. The few drinkers seemed to be locals. The inside of this old pub is quite dark, and unfortunately the outside area is next to the noisy A370.

One sunday whilst driving in towards Weston Super Mare we passed a slightly non-descript pub, and noticed a sign outside, carvery £7.50. After asking my partner if she was hungry I made a quick U-turn in the road and headed back to the pub. On entering the bar, there were a few locals enjoying a drink in what seemed a cheery atmosphere, and I ordered 2 sunday carverys, on walking through to the restaurant area I was shocked to see nobody in there, my heart filled with dread, was it that bad that no one ate there. However the bright and cheerful chef greeted us and carved us slices of three different meats and invited us to help ourselves to vegetables. In a nutshell what a beautiful meal, meats were all cooked to perfection along with the vegetables. My only question is why on earth is this little pub not getting a lot more customers, when they are serving such great food.

Our first impressions as we walked into the restaurant at the Anchor Inn was of the lovely smell of Sunday lunch in the air, fresh veg and the sight of a large joint of beef made us even more hungry!We were served at the bar, given our ticket and had sat down to eat our meal in record time, but not rushed, just without any unnecessary delays.Unfortunately there was only the beef left when we got there, as it was getting a bit late and the Chef is the most generous server of meat I have ever met! Hence the need for a doggie bag! The choice of vegetables was ok, and were as I thought, all fresh apart from the peas. A pot full of delicious gravy to dip into, to cover the mountain was all that was needed to make it a most delicious carvery lunch. We were asked if everything was okay, which of course it was! A pudding was out of the question so we never got to find out how good they were.I would definitely recommend this pub for the carvery, and look forward to trying the regular menu at some point on our next holiday.

when looking at the wide range of food on the menu we opted for the hunters chicken an were then told they didnt have an of the wrapped chicken left but they could do another bit of the chicken an add bacon and cheese to the dish, we went with this option and were more than pleased, nice portion size and very tastey, the young man at the bar was very nice also

I have been using the Anchor every other Sunday for a carvery for about 2 years. The food has always been really good with average service.I went in 2 weeks ago & the food was not ready at 12:00 when the carvery is due to start & it finally arrived at 12:45 with other parts of the meal arriving as I was eating. The bar staff advised me they would let me know when the food was ready but that confirmation never arrived. I did not complain & just put it down as a bad week.I visited again yesterday. No food was out when I arrived at 12:00 and again the bar staff said they would let me know when it was ready again this never came.When the food arrived at 12:35 it was obvious the man carving the meat had no idea how to do it. He was carving off huge chunks of meat and both joints were reduced to nothing in a very short period. The beef did not look cooked properly and people who were served in front of me declined to take what was cut & asked for more meat to be cut from another part of the joint.All the Yorkshire Puddings were put out instead of giving 1 to each customer so the first family to be served took all 12 that were on offer.The carrots were not fully cooked & there were hard stalks in the Broccoli. I had 2 small pieces of Pork as I did not want to eat the beef that was left, the Pork I had was a lot of fat.When I got my meat there were no Roast Potatoes, Yorkshire Puddings or Stuffing Balls either left or yet to be put out.The staff service was non existent.When I left another family had all their meat put under the carvery to keep warm while they waited for the rest of the carvery to arrive, this was circa 13:00.I have never complain about service in a Pub or Restaurant before but I did on this occasion as it was so bad & I will not be eating there again.I am really sad to see the demise in quality at this pub.

Came here for a family meal and was utterly appalled by the food we were served. The fish was disgusting it looked like something from iceland 2 for £1, but we paid through the nose for it. The frozen lasagne which had next to no meat in it was a joke. Left here extremley annoyed and hungry.

Popped in here for a carvery and it was spot on. You can sit in the restaurant or the bar, we opted for the bar, you find yourself a table then order at the counter, we all had the carvery and it was delicious and excellent value for money. Would definitely visit again when we are in the area.
