The Anchor Inn in Fenland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas Menu. Friendly welcome and good service. We had the Christmas Menu which is 3 courses for £21.95 had to be ordered in advance but that was not a problem. Good choice and food cooked well and also good quality. Especially enjoyed the brandy sauce on the Christmas pudding. Will definitely eat here again.

Was welcomed with a warm heart and smile given the feel that was only felt in a homely environment. The food was just as good as mother cooked and the atmosphere was of one that made me feel great joy and happiness

I don’t normally leave negative reviews but it was unusually bad! The chips were completely soaked in oil and inedible & gammon steak was tiny. Prawn cocktail came out without any sauce. Roast dinner was just frozen potatoes, boiled tasteless veg and what tasted like microwaved beef. All the food took a long while to come out. We did worry when we were the only table in for a Sunday roast!

Very welcoming owner Had a great T. Bone steak very clean pub polite and friendly staff. Good ale definitely be back thanks again.

Booked in advance as requested, we shared a lovely meal. Nicely prepared and presented complete with Christmas Crackers. Accompanied by one of the nicest real ales in the area, called unsuprisingly Anchor Ale. Not the first time we have eaten here and we never leave dissatisfied. We shall be back in a couple of weeks for another meal. Thank you to the Chef and staff who make a visit to this pub very enjoyable

We were camping around the corner, and popped in on the Friday and Saturday night. The young lady behind the bar was dead friendly and the pub has a great, local pub vibe to it. The pub is lovely and clean, spacious and with a good selection of drink and well priced food. I wont go into all of it, but on two nights the landlord put my backup with his total lack of people skills, tact and manners. I hope that the locals find his attitude charming and endearing but next time we're up in the area I hope to find another pub to give my money to.

Called in one lunch time. We were the only customers. Ordered drinks and the only words spoken by the barman were do you want a glass. Not much of a welcome. Ordered food and it came quite quickly. Unfortunately I don’t think the chef let the deep fryer get to temperature before putting the chips in. It was like they had been simmering gently in the oil as they were just a soggy greasy mess. The scampi was the same . Ate a couple then gave up and just ate the peas. The chef came out to see a delivery person and asked if it was ok as I had left it by then. His reaction when I explained it was soggy and greasy were to say “there’s always one”. He shouted over to the barman to take it off the bill. Very abrupt and no apology.

Moving to the village thought we would try the pub 7 of us not a complaint just FULL praise for the food the landlord and his staff 5 STAR

After receiving a flier and heard good reports we decided to visit on steak night . Wow , one of the best sirloins we’ve had . When the landlord / chef speaks to you about his food you know it’s going to be good and it was . This is a very local inn and we found it very well welcoming particularly Jay Dine . We will be back .

if your gluten free, I would not re-visit, found staff unhelpful, landlord with a attitude , very unfriendly. My friends felt the same

Breakfast served once a month, so booked a table. No choices offered, like white or brown toast, how eggs to be cooked etc. but we were asked if there was an anything we did not want. This was difficult given the fact there was no list of ingredients. Opted for everything to see what arrived. However, when we asked for sauces we were told no brown sauce or ketchup available, but there was salt and pepper if we wanted! I hope this was a temporary supply issue. Tea was served by the cup with unlimited refills, but service was slow, so only managed a couple during our visit. Will visit again to see if the standard we experienced was a one off because the pub is lovely and the staff very friendly.

Beautiful pub. Spotless inside and out - very well maintained - hidden gem of a beer garden at the back with a little aviary. Son loves just watching the birds. Dog friendly & make your dogs feel very welcome. They pour a good Guinness at a decent price. Good choice of spirits. Staff always very helpful and quick service - when the bar is busy you are acknowledged and they get to you as quickly as they can rather than being left to stand their and ignored. Food looks & smells good although I haven’t had a meal yet. Very friendly inside and welcoming inside

Mine host is rude and the food is not good at all. How he keeps his job is beyond me. So sad the way he is running to pub that used to be the 'heart of the village'.

After receiving a flyer we thought we’d give it a try for a Sunday roast . We thought a bottle of red wine would be a change from our normal tipple . This was bought to our reserved table and left on the table unopened. After I opened the bottle we tasted it and it was vinegary and not nice at all but there was no available staff to get their attention. We thought we’d grin and bear it eat our meal and go . I ordered pork which was just passable and my wife ordered beef . The beef was extremely tough and dry hard to cut and inedible. When a young member of staff came past our table we discreetly told him about the wine and beef and he said he’d inform someone and went off to the kitchen. The chef ? Landlord perhaps came out and was not happy about our feedback. To cut a long story short his attitude and response was completely unprofessional insisting that the wine was ok as it was sealed and we had opened it ??? We paid for one meal and was told we had to pay for the wine. Rather than argue at the bar we paid and left . An awful experience and will certainly not be going back .

Our first visit to the Pub since moving to the village with my wife and dog. We were all made very welcome and the staff were very polite and helpful. A good selection of beers and drinks, rear beer garden and a really nice large eating area. They even made my dog feel welcome.

I purchased a Groupon offer for 4 people to have lunch. We waited for a short while until a young lady appeared. She apologised for not being at the bar when we first got there. She was very welcoming and friendly . Our orders were...

If you find this vast, flat almost treeless landscape of ploughed black fields and scattered villages starts to unsettle you, if it makes you wonder what life would be like lived out here. If you start to speculate that tales of fenland weirdness may be...

Had arranged to meet family here ahead of my Uncles funeral, well upset as we all were on the day it was compounded by the out right rudeness of the landlord, we had arrived early 20 mins before opening time, and he was reluctant to...

Visited at 6.00pm when pub wasn't busy. The starter I had was garlic mushrooms which were disappointing. The batter surrounding the mushrooms was hard and difficult to cut with knife and inside was some liquid and mushy mushroom not my expectation! Not sure if they...

The pub itself was spotless, the bar and the bottles all looked fantastic. The table neat and tidy. A nice environment. Huge table available for groups of 12 ish too. The food was just ok though, acceptable but nothing to rush back for sadly. They...

Great choice of food on the menu and service. Lovely decor and atmosphere. Dogs welcome and nice beer garden

We didn't get to meet the notorious Landlord so can't really comment. The Barman was really friendly and the waitress was lovely. The pub offers a choice of several pies with a choice of mash and flavours of gravy All for £6.50. The rest of...

We had a really lovely meal here on Saturday. Lovely pies. Then had lovely homemade desserts. Great price as well. Can't wait to come back

Just had a horrible experience at The Anchor Inn, Wimblington. The Landlord/Manager got my steak temperature wrong, I asked for Rare and he brought it to me well done. When I told the waitress, she took it away and he came outside, loomed over me...

Friendly staff and the food in the pub was good. No breakfast available. The room was clean and having sky TV in the room was a plus.

Food awful. Kitchen dirty!! As for the the rooms I wouldn't let my dog stay there. The manager is the most ignorant rude person I've ever met. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!'

I was writing a review of a restaurant visited on hols when I realised I had not written one on The Anchor, our village local. That is ridiculous. The Anchor now has a manager, Paul, who is really trying to get the pub going. He...

We tried a couple of other pubs in the Wimblington area but soon returned to The Anchor Inn. The staff were really friendly and made us very welcome. We even enjoyed chatting with local customers. There is a good range of beer, cider and wine...

so close to the skydive centre and brilliant that they were able to have us at zero notice because of the weather. lovely people, nice clean room and good food.

The Rudest Landlord I have ever met. The real ale and food are both as poor as the landlord. Far better pub in next village. Only gave one star as it would not allow me to give a zero rating. Avoid this pub !!!!

Great vegan food, pub garden, full bar, decent service, fairly standard pub meal - definitely recommend to anyone in the area!

So, we decided on lunch at the Anchor at Wimblington, as food was advertised outside. We went to the bar and waited, and waited, and waited. A pleasant waitress said "sorry I cant serve you"...another, less pleasant, indicated she would be with us soon, but then proceeded to chat to other customers and then serve people who had come in after us. We left after ten minutes and went elsewhere. This seems to be a Marston's pub, they really need to get a grip on what is an appalling lack of service. Difficult to rate food or value as we didnt get any.

First visit to this pub, asked for a coke and a glass of prosseco. The wine glass was dirty and the small bottle was not opened and placed loudly on the bar. When we politely asked for another glass, the member of staff smirked and rolled her eyes. Glass was again banged onto the bar. The pub looked dirty and the bar was sticky. Very poor pub and very poor service. Don’t bother going, there are much better pubs in the local area.

Had meal here with family food was good they did not have everything that was on the menu but what we had was good value.

On visiting close friends they informed us they had booked a table at this pub, I am the person who requires Gluten Free and was accommodated fantastically. I was able to get Gluten Free Beer and several items on the menu too. Kevin the landlord and the waitress Chloe? were very friendly and did a great job of looking after us. I liked having a juke box and we all chose some songs we wanted to hear. I was thrilled to see a piano and would have relished the opportunity to play. I only wish it was busier for them.

My mum has recently moved to Wimblington and when visiting this month we thought we'd patronise the local pub as it's the only one left in the village

We booked a large table here for our Christmas work meal, well it didn't get off to a good start as we were told a price of a bottle of champagne on the telephone when booking that it was £30 then to be told it was £43 instead, with no budging on the misquoted price, so was disappointed.

Kevin and his family run an exceptional family business always a welcoming smile clean and tidy great food definitely the top end of the scale for Marstons chain I would definitely recommend this to friends and family

This could be a very good pub but it lacks that touch. Food basic although reasonably good. Service, friendliness excellent. Drinks okay. Coffee could have been better, tables very old school possibly not out of place in a monastery. Toilet not working properly no lock on door. There is something lacking but not sure what.

Booked a table weeks ago for 8pm for this restaurant / pub with a friend for an early Christmas get together, .. on arrival we were largely ignored they seemed very short staffed, finally when acknowledged we were just told sit anywhere ... no reserved card on a table.. when I asked to order the c

It's very good place to find and location is very easy to find. I advise to my friends to visit this attractive and very fantastic place,

This is an attractive pub with a really good menu, special offers and a wide selection of drinks. The toilets are absolutely spotless. Plenty of parking and a beer garden. Staff are extremely friendly and welcoming.

A little disappointing to be fair. Menu reads better than what is provided. The place has changed hands a couple of times. A quick drop in if you're not fussy and starving is about all I can recommend.

I went with my husband and had the rib eye steak . I would definitely recommend this it was the best steak I've had in years it was literally melt in the mouth . The ambiance in the pub was great service was excellent will definitely be returning

Popped in after a quick beer visit at weekend good service food was lovely the fish and chips was tasty and out quick Deffo recommend the place 👍👍👍

Warm welcome from the manager and all the staff were pleasant. We sat in the garden but inside gave the impression of being nice and clean. Dog friendly. Nice meal with just the right amount of food and nicely done. Very reasonable prices. Garden could do with a bit of TLC but understand owners are fairly new so sure that will come.

We are sat once again in this very homely pub with a great atmosphere and lovely hosts

Great food very well priced!! definitely going back!! Very friendly atmosphere, family run pub. I recommended the steak as had this here many times before!

We booked our Sunday lunch here today 4 Adults and 1 child nice friendly welcome and service. The place was really busy mainly families so a nice atmosphere. We took our seats at our table with our drinks to study the extensive menu. We had set our hearts on the lamb shank, roast pork and the roast beef but then our first disappointment we were then told that there was only the roast beef on so roast beef it had to be it would have been better not to give out a menu that they couldn't supply.

We didnt eat here. We only had a drink. We spoke to Jamie the Manager and Owen the Chef. Both were very personable and Marstons should be very proud to have them as staff. I would visit again just for this reason.

Good food, cooked to order and made to feel very welcome in this refurbished pub. Will become a regular visitor. Special offers on different nights of the week.
